Sorry RPG-fanboys... two PS3 RPG's canned
From Software (who?) have unofficially canned two of their next-gen RPG projects. These games were announced early on in the PS3's marketing push, but the sudden cancellation is foreboding -- the next Famitsu will uncover the truth. That marks at least three cancelled RPGs (Endless Saga was another) for what has come to be known as the system for RPG's (before PSX and PS2, SNES was the RPG overlord... excepting the marvelous Phantasy Star and Shining Force titles on the Genesis). This is bad news, fellow role-players. One of the only remaining solid titles to look forward to on the PS3 for our RPG-needs is Final Fantasy XIII.
The cancelled games never had much information released, offering only a "one's a dark RPG, the other is just untitled". Is this concerning anyone else? A lot of PS3 titles have been scrapped or pushed way, way back. It's not the best news to boast about and in a debate with your Microsoft-fanboy buddy, it's a pretty major card they can pull out to make you feel insecure. Come on, Sony! Well, really, come on developers! Don't give up. We're seriously depending on September's game show to restore our confidence.
