^armored core4 demo on jpn marketplace feb28

demo is in jpn, but it has tutorials to familiarize with the controls. many posters say its basically using an upgraded chromehounds grafix engine. i think old time armored core fans will be very happy. newcomers can also give it a try. its a pity if no publishers care to release a cheapo asian version

latest news,

the NTSC/J (Jpn) version published by From Software is out but don't support Eng.
the NTSC (US) version published by Sega America. region-locked on NSTC/J sets

xbox HK & SG website do say an asian (cheaper) version is coming in MAY, also from Sega America. lets hope for the best

dunno good new or bad news

asian version coming may17 but;

http://www.xbox.com/zh-HK/community/news/2007/20070510.htm

not sure what language it supports lor, on the xbox hk site, it says 日文= japanese ?

the bad news: asian version is JPN language with some english menus

the reason? : it published by from software itself. so it kinda understandable. i'm pretty sure from software have nvr published a full english game b4 in jpn and asian regions

anyway, the cover is different enough(its modified form the usa cover) so u wont get confused with the jpn release. just din't understand why the delay. (ps3 asian edition came out the same time as jpn release) maybe they added chinese text support??

well, asian releases of jpn developed videogames (with only JPN language) do sell a reasonable amount in HK & TWN despite their piracy problems. its was the 2 months delay & the xbox sg site wrongly reported sega was publishing that gave me false hope that they'll put some work on localization/translation.

haha, i can see it out. MGS4: 360 NTSC/J Asian [2008] will have JPN voice-acting and JPN text only!! solidou snake FTW!!
