Great, so that means a 2012 release in Europe. Probably by Atari because Namco can't even be bothered to setting up a Euro publishing division.

And then we'll be waiting an extra two or three months after that down here in Australia because we're essentially a giant pimple on the arse of Namco's red-headed PAL stepchild.

Hope the game is region free then.

Also, it might come to Europe, hell even a game like Cross Edge is.

If there's one publisher that you should NOT be criticising over attitude towards European publishing, it's Namco Bandai, who've recently announced several of their previously wayward titles for local release.

Oh, and specifically for Negative: http://www.namcobandaigames.eu/en/index/

(active European publishing division?)
I'm guessing this game will probably show up by early 2010. Even better, I agree, menage, is if it's region-free. :)

a timed exclusive for the 360... this will no doubt mean that the uk will have to wait an extra 6months for it, and then a month later it will hit the ps3 with aload of new additional content.

Hell, we're still waiting for tales of vesperia now... and they've already announced the ps3 version hitting soon after with said additional content.

Seriously what is the point of Microsoft paying for timed exclusives? assuming that they actually did pay, and its not simply a way for Namco to have more time to get it up to scratch on the ps3

@Machetazo: oh, they're fine with non-JRPG games. It's just JRPGs that they consider us unworthy of being able to have in a timely fashion, if at all. Examples include Tales of Vesperia (still waiting...), Eternal Sonata (it was about 7 months), Tales of the Abyss (never released), Xenosaga I and III (they gave us II because it was shit and kept us from having the half-decent ones) and the list gets larger the further back you go.

Additionally they're one of the handful 360 publishers that region lock everything to make doubly sure you have to go out of your way to buy their software in a timely fashion if you're not privileged enough to live in the US, Canada, Japan or Asia.
