Star Ocean: The Last Hope Preview

February 10, 2009 by Greg

IGN has posted up a pretty good preview of the first (of 3) disk of the upcoming Square-Enix 360 RPG “Star Ocean: The Last Hope.”  This is one of the only announced upcoming 360 games I’ve had my eye on, but I’m still on the fence.  Judging by the screenshots the game is pretty, no doubt.  But the brain-dead AI and nonsensical plot of the last S.O. game have me hesitant of this one.  I’m gonnna need some reviews before I jump in.

I’m going to have my hands busy for a bit anyway, what with F.E.A.R. 2, Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2 & Resident Evil 5 releasing over the next few weeks – not to mention finishing off Valkyria Chronicles.

Something has struck me here in the midst of E3. Most of the games I’m looking forward to are 3rd party games that will be available on both of the major consoles. I currently have 3 games pre-ordered, SoulCalibur IV, Fallout 3 and Resistance 2. Of those, only Resistance is a PS3 exclusive. Final Fantasy XIII has just been announced to be going multi-platform as well. And the one game so far to really catch my eye at the show that I didn’t know much about before is Mirror’s Edge, an EA game that is releasing this fall for…you guessed it…both the PS3 & 360.
