The Lost Odyssey Hype Thread

Can't wait, please allow him to break the demo size limit, Microsoft.

I don't think there's a size limit for demos, is there?

 

[Zenien]

I could have sworn they had a 700 meg size limit on them or something.

THWIP was complaining that some demo was over a gig I think.

 

[Delusive]

I can't wait. It's especially awesome how Sakaguchi is trying to make Lost Odyssey a world wide release WHILE still (trying) to release the demo for everyone else. And as far as I heard, Lost Odyssey was the most popular game at TGS.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I totally agree.

XBLA has a file size limit, but demo's are just limited by the HDD. The 2nd Kameo demo is like 2gb's I think.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Yeah it's a lunker. Condemned is 1.5 gigs.

The story follows a character named Kain, sentenced to live for 1000 years. When we were playing through the demo, getting killed meant Kain automatically revived with a small fraction of his health. No menus or mini maps were available in the demo we played, so the heads up display was pretty bare. In a press briefing a little while after the show floor opened, Sakaguchi said two major gameplay elements were not included in the demo. In other words, the Lost Odyssey demo apparently doesn't give a very good representation of the whole thing.

Yeah, I think the character doesn't actually die in story terms. Maybe in the gameplay he does...?

 

[CM Punk]

No, you can never see a gameover screen in this, the main character can't die, but the "side characters" actually can, and if they die I think they're gone forever, and you simply absorb their abilities. Only you and this other chick actually last the whole time

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Absorb their abilities? BEAUTIFUL!

 

[CM Punk]

the show brochure implied that it was around 45 percent complete

Also, the HD trailers for both this and Blue Dragon should be available on the Marketplace by Tomorrow. These are usually much faster downloads, and give a better idea of what the game will look like while being played, so good news

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Lost Odyssey is going to be so awesome.

I was a bit dissapointed with the videos I've seen. Part of me wonders if MS forced Sakaguchi to put out a demo. If so, I hope this hasn't hindered the development of this game. I hope it gets a better showing at X06. Only showing 1/3 of the combat (which still feels slow to me) wasn't worth it. I was happy to see it in action though.
