    Way of the Samurai 3

    Not yet publicly announced but confirmed by Mark Johnson on Agetec's forum, and gamefaqs (typical of him, ignoring the press and announcing games directly to their fanbase). Agetec will be publishing the PS3 version of the game, while UFO interactive will be publishing the 360 version. The PS3 version of the game will feature dual audio tracks, and english subtitles. I dont know if the 360 version will have the same.

    Agetec's website will be updated to include this game at the end of the month, and likely more non-budget games given Mark's recent "Hardcore games will be announced" comment on agetec's forum.

    Looks like they're finally done with the budget PS2 games they've been releasing the last few years.

    In other news, some will remember that Agetec fully localized Shadow Tower Abyss for the PS2 after getting initial approval from Sony, only to have it rejected after it was finished. Well, a fan translation has been in the works over at Agetec's King's Field forum, and a few days ago, Mark offered the translator all the english vocal tracks for the game. so there's some good news if you would like to play Shadow Tower Abyss once the fan translation is done.

    So they are moving up to newer stuff now? Thats pretty cool.

    I remember hearing about all the Tower of the Abyss drama way back when.

        Shadow Tower Abyss is a ps2 game so wouldn't that entitle patching the iso, burning it to a dvd, then playing it on a modded ps2? I doubt whatever emulator they have will run it properly.

        Which is a shame because it's such a better game than Ancient's Gates. It has guns!

          there's screenshots of the project posted in the KF forum at agetec's site. go take a took. seems to be running on an emulator just fine. and apparently agetec is completely fine with people burning copies of the game to play the translation with.

          what's ancient's gates?

            King's Field 3/4. I meant the ancient city. don't know where gates came from...

            edit: is this the guy who translated the original king's field 1?

            oh, and demon's souls was mostly inspired by shadow tower. the similarities are uncanny.

                I'm looking at Sword of Moonlight for the PC which is a King's Field adventure creator and I'm sooooo mad that didn't come here. The screenshots are all in English making me think there's a translation somewhere.

                  there is indeed a translation of it. done by the same person who did KF1 and STA.

                      This is great news that someone is picking this game up for
                      North American release.

                      Bad news is that I don't have a PS3 and won't be able to buy Agetec's
                      localization.

                        Well, today was supposed to be the drop date.

                        Too bad most retailers aside from online ones carry the game!

                        I ordered mine off of Amazon.

                        They wont have the game till the 15th.

                        My estimated delivery, the 16th.

                        Anyone else getting this?

                            I've never played a Way of the Samurai, what should I expect?
                            So you're a fish out of water...
                            Keep swimming.
                            What else can you do?

                              Samurai action, afro ninjas and the game basically plays like a choose you own adventure book. You literally walk into a new area, watch a scene, make a decision from a bunch of choices then play it out. It's one of the few games where the entirety of the story is affected by your decisions as opposed to a handful of decisions late game or whatever.
