Tales of Zestiria is coming to PS4!!
Bandai Namco has finally announced both a PlayStation 4 version and a PC version of the upcoming JRPG, Tales of Zestiria. This is one badly kept secret, but I’m glad Bandai Namco has confirmed what just about everyone knew. You can read a bit more on it on the PlayStation blog you can read it on the new Tales of blog.
The release date for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 version is October 16 for Europe and the PC and US version will be released on the 20th October.
So I’ll be getting Tales of Zestiria as an early birthday present to myself, man I’m looking forward to this! So hyped right now! I’m just glad we finally have a release date! This is without my most sought after game this year, together with Batman: Arkham Knight. But October will be an expensive month… Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection and Dragon Quest Heroes are released in that month too. Hopefully I can afford everything. The JRPG’s are the most important to get or an IP that has ties to an JRPG.

E3 2015 is closing in…
So we are about one week away from E3, one of the most festive times for a gamer. And it’s one of the few traditions I have myself, I’ve followed E3 live since 2006 and it has become of the things long for most in the year.
So which shows am I going to follow? All of them? No, I’m skipping out on Bethesda, EA and Ubisoft those three companies don’t interest me in the slightest. But who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised. But somehow I seriously doubt it and this is just what I think, you can like them all you want, this is just my opinion. I as I said I will be genuinely surprised if they announce something I’m interested in, of course I’m hoping they do.
So I’m going to watch Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and Square Enix. While Microsoft has had the most boring show two years in a row, I’m pretty interested to see what they can do now. There is a rumor floating around that Sony is going to have some JPRG announcements to share with us, while I do think this is BS to some degree I sincerely hope this is true!
Nintendo. Well as always Nintendo seems to be the ones to surprise me the most, both in a good and bad way. So I’m hyped to see what they have for goodies for us this year. And Square Enix is a newcomer in having their own press event. So I’m not sure what to expect but I’m hoping we’ll get to see the first clip from Star Ocean 5.
So am I hoping for anything special? Maybe a confirmed date for Tales of Zestiria and a confirmation if they are releasing a PlayStation 4 version or not, even if it seems very likely they are. Other than that I just hope for a good E3, with many good games being announced.

Tales of Berseria is announced!
So Bandai Namco has announced the newest Tales of game, its Tales of Berseria! It will be released for PS3 and PS4. Hopefully we’ll also be getting this title in the west. The game will feature character design by Mustsumi Inomata (Tales of Graces ƒ, Tales of Hearts R and more). The game will feature a female protagonist, who seems to be a pirate named Velvet. Right now more info is pretty scarce, but we know Ufotable is doing the animations again. So they will at least be of high quality and here is a bad picture of Velvet, but hopefully we’ll be getting better artwork pictures later.

Here’s Bloodstained!
I’ve longed for a new Castlevania game in the vein of Symphony of The Night and of course the GameBoy Advance and Nintendo DS games. They are some of my favorite games of all time. We have been getting a lot of “Metroidvania” games lately, which is nice! But I’ve never fallen as much in love with them as I have with Koji Igarashi’s Castlevania games. But since he left Konami some time ago, he can’t make anymore Castlevania games and I’m pretty sure Konami can’t make them own their own, the Lords of Shadows games were okay at best. I myself vastly prefer the PlayStation 2 Castlevania games, something I seem to be somewhat of a minority to like.
Either way, Mr.Igarashi is back and he brought a Kickstarter with him for Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night. Sadly there are no gameplay, but a lot of concept art of the characters and man I’m really looking forward to this, the game has already reached its funding of 500.000 dollars. So it confirmed to come out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. So all extra money they get now is to fill the game, with a lot of extra stuff. One of the things I’m looking forward to most is that Michiru Yamane is onboard with this project. She did the music for SOTN and a bunch of Castlevania games after that one. This is very important to me, her music is very important for the right feel, at least for me.
The video he put up together with the Kickstarter is great and you can see it at the end if this post.
So much awesomeness if you like cheesy stuff and Castlevania. I wish I could back this project at a higher level than the digital version, would love to have a physical version of this game, but forking out 60bucks isn’t possible now, not with all the other stuff I want. Hopefully they will release a physical version later, that isn’t just for Kickstarters. If they do, then I’ll be getting that one too.

Not much happening
Wow, I’m almost impressed by how little that is happening now. Is a bit sad really, but somewhat refreshing too. The most exciting thing that has happened it that I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron when it premiered here in Sweden. Such a cool movie! I really enjoyed it, now I’m really hyped for Ant-man.
I’ve been playing some games to, finally played Shovel Knight and damn it was good! Love the charm of the game, the music is so great. Such a great “retro” feeling to the game. I honestly think this is my favorite game of the year so far, it really clicked with me. Great adventure, cool Mega Man like levels. And I just love the sprite work. Hopefully I’ll be able to start playing The Order 1886 this upcoming weekend, or hopefully I’ll be getting a New Nintendo 3DS and Paper Mario Sticker Star. And then I’ll probably just be waiting until Batman Arkham Knight is released.
But still my most eagerly awaited game for this year is Tales of Zestiria and there are more rumors floating around that there will be a PlayStation 4 and Steam version in the west. So we’ll see if that turns out to be true. Guess I’ll have to but every version of the game… Maybe. ;)

Games I want in 2015
I made this post before but in Swedish, but I thought I might revisit it and make it in English instead. Why the revision? Well one of my most anticipated games of the year has slipped into a 2016 release, which is a shame. But hopefully it will lead to a much better game. And honestly I’m not surprised it got delayed, still a shame though. This list is nowhere near complete, I have just taken the big games that I’m getting this year. I have probably missed a few titles that I would love to get my hands on. So this post might be updated at a later date, or I might have to update because new announcements or more delays… But we’ll tackle that hurdle when it comes to that. But for now these are the games I’m most looking forward to in 2015.
Tales of Zestiria
I love the Tales of games. It’s just about the only JRPG series that I really love and enjoy to my fullest right now. Of course there are many great games out there, but right now Tales is closest to my heart. So when Bandai Namco localizes Tales of games, I just really need to buy them an support them. And Tales of Zestiria will be no different. Just as long as it isn’t any mobile stuff, in getting it. The game is looking good so far and I’m really looking forward to my hands on this title. I’m just hoping I’m not hyping myself to much on the game, but for now it is my number one sought after game this year. Just announce a date Bandai Namco! I’m there day fricking one!
Dragon Quest Heroes
When I laid my eyes upon Dragon Quest Heroes for the first time I knew I had to have this game. I was thinking of importing it but then Square Enix announced it would be released in the west. I was as happy as a cat playing in a cardboard box. Its supposed to be like a Warrios/Musou game, but with more action RPG elements and that is something I can really dig. I really like the 3D models of Akira Toriyama’s designs, I think they found a 3D style that really works well. It is going to be fun running around together with old DQ heroes in the game, Jessica will be on my team as often as she can be! When a problem comes along, she’ll whip it! Whip it good!
Batman: Arkham Knight
Batman! Always Batman! Always driving villains bats! So what do we do? It’s simple, we kill the Batman. I guess that sums it all up huh? Well I’m very excited for this game, its the last game in Rocksteadys Arkham Trilogy and I’ve enjoyed the past two games very much. Even Arkham Origins which isn’t made by Rocksteady.
So will this truly be the end for the caped crusader? Will he kick the bucket? Will Arkham City take over the pieces that are left of Gotham? On June 23rd we will finally find out, that is if it doesn’t get delayed yet again…
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Those who have followed me for a while or just know me, knows how much I love the Xenosaga games. I still prefer them to Xenoblade, which is also a fricking awesome game! But Xenosaga just spoke more too me, an unpopular opinion which I hope I can have without being slaughtered. That being said, I can’t wait to get my dirty little mittens on Xenoblade Chronicles X! What I’ve seen so far really blows me away, now I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this title won’t be delayed into next year. That would really bum me out. Hopefully it will be fun to create your own character, so naturally I’m going to try to recreate KOS-MOS.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
After MGS4 I hardly wanted anything to do with the MGS series again, it was a disappointment to me. Maybe I expected to much, but solve everything with nanomachines and taking away my sob ending, ruined it for me. With MGS5 we are turning back to Big Boss and I’m hoping we will see him fall to evil in this game. What I’ve seen so far of the game has really got my interest going to the game. September 1st can’t come soon enough.
Yoshi’s Woolly World
It’s Yoshi made of yarn. If it could work for Kirby it can work for Yoshi, to be honest I actually think it will work better for him. Either way, the more platforming games we can get the better. I feel like its a dying or rather sleeping genre and its a damn shame. Nintendo always delivers quality games, so I’m 100% sure this title will be very enjoyable.
Onechanbara: Z2 Chaos
Girls, Swords, Zombies. What more can you want? Good gameplay would be nice… It seems like this has that too, from the few movies I’ve watched from this game, I think I’ll get an enjoyable game. I’ve heard its an okay game and it reminds me a bit of Lollipop Chainsaw. Google it, see for yourselves. But I think this will be a “guilty pleasure” game for me this year. Not that I really have GP games, since I like what I like and I’m not afraid to say so.

Spelen jag ser fram emot under 2015
Folk som har läst denna bloggen innan eller känner mig, vet att jag älskar spel. Det är en sak som alltid funnit i mitt liv och det är viktigt för mig. Även om det har blivit lite mindre spelande än jag hoppats, för att man jobbar en del. Men tack vare det kan man köpa fler spel och även under 2015 kommer det ett par spel jag gärna vill ha. Här är en liten lista på de jag kommer på just nu som jag verkligen vill ha och måste ha! Nu kan ju oturen vara framme och något av dem försenas, men det får vi hoppas inte sker.
Tales of Zestiria
Jag älskar Tales of-serien. Det är väl den enda JRPG-serie just nu som jag verkligen älskar så otroligt mycket, naturligtvis finns det många bra. Men Tales of-serien ligger mig lite närmare hjärtat. Så när Bandai Namco släpper ett nytt Tales of-spel i väst köper jag det, så länge det inte är till mobil vill säga. Tales of Zestiria ser ut att bli minst lika fartfyllt i fighterna som de senaste i serien, så längtan är stor att få besöka denna världen. <3
Dragon Quest Heroes
När man fick se DQH för första gången blev jag otroligt sugen på spelet. Gjort av Omega Force som är kända för sina “Dynasty Warriors” spel. Dragon Quest Heroes har element ifrån Dynasty Warriors serierna, men ska tydligen vara mer action-rpg. Gillar verkligen hur bra Akira Toriyamas stil passar i 3D och så ser jag fram emot att få spela med klassiska Dragon Quest hjältar. Hoppas detta släpps till sommaren eller så i väst.
Batman: Arkham Knight
Batman! Alltid denna Batman! Du gör alla förbrytare tokiga! Så vad gör vi? Det är simpelt! Vi dödar Batman! Vi hjälps alla åt! Lite så kommer det nog vara i Batman Arkam Knight. Det sägs också vara det sista spelet i Rocksteadys trilogi, Arkham Origins gjordes inte av dom. Kommer Batman att dö? Kommer Gotham bli skurkarnas paradis? I juni vet vi svaret på de frågorna.
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Som den Xenosaga-fan jag är, så måste jag köpa allt som Monolith Software gör. Jag älskar deras spel, Xenoblade var trevligt även om jag inte klarat det än. Ja, jag skäms över det. Men det tar vi itu med sedan. XBX ser otroligt ut och verkar enormt! Ska bli intressant att få skapa sin egna karaktär och utforska världen.
The Legend of Zelda Wii U
Allt vi har fått se av detta spelet än så länge har gjort mig otroligt hajpad. Allt från de enorma landskapen till att hoppa från hästrygg och skjuter pilar på monster. Zelda spelen levererar alltid på ett eller annat sätt, så jag ser fram emot detta något otroligt. Själv hoppas jag nästan lite att Link fortsätter bära sina blåa kläder vi sett honom bära i de få bilder och trailers vi sett. Var lite uppfriskande att inte se honom i sin tunika, inte för att det är första gången han är utan dem. Hoppas på klädes byte annars. ;)
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Efter MGS4 ville jag i stort sätt inte ha något med serien att göra. För mig var det en besvikelse, somliga delar var naturligtvis bra. Men det slutar på ett otroligt dålig sätt i min mening. Men nog om det nu, MGS5 ser i att bli ett riktigt grymt spel och vi får än en gång bekanta oss med Big Boss. Ska vi äntligen få se honom bli “ond”? Personligen hoppas jag verkligen det och kanske skulle vi kunna få se en ung Solid Snake. Hoppas kan man alltid.
