Xbox 360's Infinite Undiscovery dated News
Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell
Square Enix's Xbox 360-exclusive RPG Infinite Undiscovery will be released worldwide in September - on the 2nd in North America and on the 5th in Europe.
Put together by Star Ocean developer tri-Ace, Infinite Undiscovery is the story of a young boy who has to save the world after the Order of Chains ties up the moon at the behest of the evil Dreadknight.
Binding the moon in chains inevitably spreads "foul and deadly creatures" across the land, so you and other adventurers plucked from a pool of 18 have to go out and punch them.
"As players are faced with a variety of episodic situational battles, they will discover that they may have to try various methods to defeat the enemy, where the most obvious solution is rarely the right move," says Square Enix of the battle system.
"Snipe distant enemies with the help of a bow-wielding ally or skilled magic user. Based on each player's decisions, the intricate environments will offer a variety of experiences, presented in a way never before seen in RPGs."
Presumably all will become clear when we get our hands on Infinite Undiscovery nearer to its release. Look out for a full review around then.
In the meantime, check out our screenshot gallery and trailer for more.

I hope it comes with Japanese voice overs just like Eternal Sonata - I really enjoyed that.

I hope this uses a custom-built engine and not the UE3 because there's a tendency for those games to not only look a little... dare I say it... bland but also suffer from a multitude of issues like dodgy framerates, excessively long loading times, tearing and texture pop in as seen in Mass Effect and Lost Odyssey.

Really looking forward to this. I'm glad that I get to play more JRPGs on my 360 instead of having to turn to my trusty old PS2 or the PSP (for the strat rpgs).
I'm a bit confused though as I thought that The Last Remnant would be out before this one but hey-ho! My only concern is it comes out a week after Too Human! |

Cool, looking forward to this one. 360 seems to get a decent fill of JRPGs this gen, more so than others for now. The best thing being that they're of a much higher standard than the ones that made there way to the original xbox.
Will sit nicely next to Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Eternal Sonata. Hopefully last remnant will be good also. Even operation darkness filled a void for me. |

Pretty stonking RPG line-up for a console that only does shooters and drivers, eh? ;)
I still got about half of eternal sonata and all of lost oddysey to play through (the missus is playing LO first) so will hopefully be ready for more JRPG lovelyness by the time this comes out. |

Lost Odyssey imo is one of the best JRPG's for years, there are very slight tearing issues though, I noticed it while in the city of Uhra once or twice, certainly nothing game breaking though. I don't recall noticing any pop up though. The only thing that I found a slight disappointment was the battle load times (although, again, nothing to spoil the game too much). even with the few niggles, I still would have given LO a 9/10 personally. |

Can't really tell from this trailer that's out. Though the things i read were more intresting about it
Features : The actions taken by the player with each discovery will have a real-time impact on the world. Players will be confronted with a variety of dramatic “situational battles” such as executing a daring escape while a gigantic ogre follows in hot pursuit, or waging battle amidst towering tidal waves. The dynamic environments change and respond in real-time to player commands, creating an entirely new experience never before seen in the genre. Combat, exploration, and other actions all take place within the same environment, seamlessly shifting between each game facet. Battles are carried out in real-time, bringing the vibrant fighting sequences of the STAR OCEAN series out of the traditional battle screen into a beautiful and lush environment. So lets hope it's as said. then yeah, I think it will be worth buyng and spending some time with it. |

Another dull story that I think I've been through before - and I don't think I can avoid it just for the 'gameplay'.

Rather generic looking. But then again I said that about Lost Odyssey and I've been bumming that for 90+ hours so far.

yeah loved the dream sequences and I m the one who never display tears in front of others and always presenting the macho geordie front!
LO is certainly a good game, deserving of the attention and finished it to the end. Intrigued by Undiscovery but will wait on the reviews, September is not far off though. |

I fell in love with Blue Dragons aesthetics, since the begining (love at 1st sight), the way one starts playing while the opening credits are rolling, the aseptic voice off of a woman, saying "nothing", like in a minimal exercise towards the entire game. Freakin weird... lovely (it also helps the fact that I absolutly love Dragon Ball art). It has a big, big problem. While the combat system is great (better than LO, imo), it fails miserably, as its toooooo easy. Brainless easy. LO's is more balanced, as it has some good fights ("The Imortal" fight at the Backyard was pure fun!), but the system itself is a bit clunky, it seems they throw a bunch of ideas into the RPG rules spreadsheet, and didn't give it much love... .
LO ticks all jRPG boxes, and quite well, but never surprises. Definetly a great journey, nevertheless.
