I don't know if you have noticed yet, but it is 2013. Rather than getting the science fiction future I was promised of hoverboards and silver clothing, I instead get a world where games I bought are no longer playable online as servers are switched off. The latest victims to fall foul of this are White Knight Chro...
White Knight Chronicles 2 finally came to the U.S. last month, continuing the story started in the first WKC. Level-5 promised graphical and gameplay improvements; however, does it make good on these promises? Let's find out in our Co-Op Review.
Okay, it's a new week. Time to shake off September 6th's new release hangover. I trust you've all conquered each of those games as well as acquired 100% of the Achievements and Trophies. Time to move on. This week we have some fine downloadable titles, along with a Kinect title from Twisted Pixel, and a JRPG.
White Knight Chronicles 2 released in the PAL region last month, but JRPG enthusiasts state-side are still without their fix for huge medieval gundams. Never fear, JRPG'ers - White Knight Chronicles 2 is slotted for a September U.S. release on the PS3. The game is a direct sequel to the first title, and will be the conclusion to the storyline. Developer LEVEL-5 has taken player feedback on the first game very seriously, and as such reports dramatic improvements to the battle system which include more strategic combat and a faster Action Gauge. Online co-op has also been expanded to up to 6 players instead of 4.
White Knight Chronicles was released just shy of a year and a half ago. We found the game to be a pretty good single-player experience and a decent co-op experience. A week from now (June 9th for AUS, June 10th for UK, and June 8th for the rest of PAL), its sequel and prequel will simultaneously be hitting the store shelves on two different consoles.
White Knight Chronicles is getting a sequel in North America, but it won't be coming as a Sony published title. Instead D3 Publisher, who recently published God Eater Burst and the upcoming Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, will be handling the publishing duties of White Knight Chronicles 2.
Early last year, after what seemed like an eternity of waiting, White Knight Chronicles was released in the USA. I was somewhat disappointed in the co-op, as you can read about in the review, but it was a very good single player experience for the most part. Level 5 has just announced that we'll be getting more White Knight Chronicles; in fact, not only will there be a direct sequel for Playstation 3, a prequel is coming to PSP, so you can power up into a giant White Knight on the go.
White Knight Chronicles was a game we enjoyed for the most part here at Co-Optimus. We've just received some good news for those of you who are having fun doing quests with friends online: White Knight Chronicles will be receiving FREE additional quests every week starting March 11th and running through the end of June! The quests will consist of one permanent quest added per week as well as temporary quests that will be available for only two weeks. The way you gain access to these quests is simple: just log onto your PSN account, fire up your copy of White Knight Chronicles, and new quests will appear on your World Map. Sony Playstation will be updating its twitter account in case you want to know which quests are permanent and which ones are temporary as well as when they'll be released. So if you've managed to complete all 50 online quests contained on the game's disc, look forward to new ones coming very soon!
