The White Knight Chronicles: Origins trailer appears to be set to ‘private’, I can’t watch it.
I have WKCII pre-ordered and very much looking forward to see what happens after that cliffhanger of an ending in WKC!

Trailer for WKC: Origins should be all fixed now.

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 3:45 pm by Ross Alexander
I’m double checking with the game’s producer on the EU / USA server question. I’ll get back to you asap.
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 6:23 pm by Ross Alexander
USA and EU gamers can play together. They will be on the same server. Initially it’ll only be EU players on there, but when the game is released in the US they’ll be joining in too.

Woo hoo! Been checking for this most of the day! Great news, and so soon. Any pre-order bonuses anywhere? If not I think I’ll use my £22.50 worth of points @ Game.co.uk.
I hope the main campaign is a little longer than the original.

The PSP trailer seems to be set to ‘Private’ like someone pointed out so we can’t watch it. I’m definitely picking up WKC2 and with inFamous 2 coming out at the same time I feel lucky to own a PS3 so I can send my paycheck straight to Sony. Don’t have to decide where to spend my money.
As for the PSP game I just got a PSP and have some games to play for it but I look forward to reading more about it and hopefully picking it up in the future!
Thanks Sony for keeping the great games coming and I look forward to seeing the store operational soon.

WKC 2, WKC: Origins and infamous 2 out the same day.
My poor poor wallet.
At least I get Origins for £12.99
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 3:47 pm by Ross Alexander
Don’t forget Duke Nukem and Red Faction too.
It’s a costly week for games fans, I’ll be out of pocket myself.

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 3:26 pm by BohKing
Awesome. But, Im gonna ask about servers again. Will we be able to play internationally with US and other players once they have it? I’ve asked 3 times as have others. I understand you may have no information or cant tell us anything right now, but even if you say ‘ I dont know’ I’ll stop bugging you I swear :]
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 3:48 pm by Ross Alexander
Answer coming on this asap.
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 6:24 pm by Ross Alexander
EU and US gamers will be able to play together, it’s official.

Since Japanese Audio has been cutted due to Disk Space, any chance to get it through DLC?????, i would even pay for this option DLC…
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 3:51 pm by Ross Alexander
It’s not something that’s planned at this stage but could be a consideration for future titles.
I also enjoy the Japanese audio, loved it in Yakuza 4.

I can’t wait – yes please any news on the servers – don’t want to find the majority of people I now regularly play with won’t be around on the same server

Thank you SO much SCEE for taking charge of this brilliant franchise. Not only have you made it clear that SCEE can do things SCEA cant but youve also provided a brilliant and constant stream of updates.
Id really love to meet the people invovled in the localisation of this and shake your hands personally. Youve brought my beloved franchise to the UK with little to no fuss.
The icing on the cake would be if you translated the manga too, but i think that might be a bit of a stretch.
Thank you once again SCEE for making my day.

US fans won’t have too long to wait.
WKC II will be released by publisher D3 in the US and will feature the exact same content as our EU version.

One question I have:
I know that the WKCII features WKC as well, but will it include both sets of trophies (i.e. a set for number 1 and a set for number 2)? Thanks!
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:37 pm by Ross Alexander
Yes, there will be trophies for both games on there.

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 4:20 pm by juniorkatsumotto
thats sad, since im a RPG player and ps3 player, i dont see looking for other titles from level-5 right now since WKC is the only franchise i know its coming, thats why i did expect at least a DLC method for japanese audio…

When you say Australian release, does this include a UMD release? Because you guys skipped a UMD release of Patapon 3 last month and as a result I can’t play it.
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:38 pm by Ross Alexander
In Australia it will be released via PSN only. There isn’t a UMD release planned at this moment.

Hers a question, will all the current japanese version content thats out now (including DLc like teh avatar storyline quests) be included on the disc in the EU version?) kinda like how WKC1 was handled in its US/EU release where it had all content the japanese version had (including the DLC) on the disc when it was released?
Id love to play those avatar story quests. Also will the EU version have the DLc tickets that the japanese version has? (you buy the tickets from the ps store and they allow you to increase the exp, gr point and money you gain in game for a full 30 days) Im looking forward to having those to make grinding and leveling a lot easier.

by the way, any chance of a europe release of “akiba`s trip” ?

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 4:50 pm by Cotrip
Ross, do you know if it will be possible to play with my NA/US account with the EU WKC2? Please, say that the online pass won’t ruin my online gaming. =(
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:40 pm by Ross Alexander
No, it won’t be possible. But you can buy the US version when it comes out in a couple of months.
I’m chasing up on the servers to find out if EU and US gamers can play together online. Just need to double check with the game’s producer.

Why are you guys shooting yourself? Relesing it the same week as Infamous 2,Duke Nukem Forever and Red Faction Armageddon. Will maybe buy the psp game but The ps3 version will have to wait.

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:28 pm by Stocko
Thanks sony for a solid release date!
ONE QUESTION!
Origins is Infastructure aswell right!?
I saw boxart saying ‘PSN: Play with up to 4 players’
It would be great finally having an online RPG for PSP
Thanks Again, Stocko
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:42 pm by Ross Alexander
Yes, Origins is both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure.

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:30 pm by DuoMaxwell007
cotrip they already stated that US save files wont work on the EU version so you cant use your US character on the EU game youd have to start over if you import
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:43 pm by Ross Alexander
There’s no need to import as publisher D3 will be releasing White Knight Chronicles II in the US in a couple of months.

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:40 pm by cloud134
im in germany at time of release. just asking a stupid question but is my uk version of wkc1 save file compatible with the german wkc2 game.
lol \(^_^)/
43
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:47 pm by DuoMaxwell007
@39 theres already an online rpg on PSP its call phantasy star portable :p
and yes you can play WKC origins online on PSP
Also Ross just to confirm on your last reply.
Its a known fact that the Japanese version of WKC2 only has the WKC2 trophy set, even though the original is included in the game, the only way to get WKC1 trophies was to have the original game disc, you could NOT get WKC1 trophies in the version of WKC1 that was on WKC2 in Japan.
Also the trophy list for WKC2 in EU/Us has been released and it only lists WKC2 trophies, there isnt a single WKC1 trophy on that list.
That being said are you confirming that the EU version of WKC2 indeed has both WKC1 and WKC2 trophies on the disc and thus there are TWO (not one) set on trophies so you could technically get 2 platinum trophies on one disc?
I mean after all in the JP version you needed a WKC1 clear save file to play part 2, that feature however has been taken out of the EU version of part 2, so that being said maybe you added WKC1 trophy set in part 2 as well, I just wanted crystal clear confirmation that that is the case.

Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:51 pm by juniorkatsumotto
Ross are you crazy????, we wont be able to play this EU game in US account?????, D3 schedule up to now(amazon reference) is to december 2012!!!, if we need to wait until there to play wkc2 im going to give up on this……, and i have already preordered UK version, are you saying i wont be able to play it??, i have US account, all my trophies are on my US account…., this cant be right, are you sure of this???
45
Posted on 26 May, 2011 at 5:51 pm by Cotrip
@40
I know about the saves. I lost my first WKC save when my ps3 was stolen so I’m starting all over again in WKC2.
I’d love to play the game in July tho (my holidays), but I’d also like to have the trophies on my NA account. That’s Why I need that EU WKC2… =(
