Fate/unlimited codes

[Zeether]

Coming to PS2 in Japan, based on Fate/stay night animu.

Possible license for Atlus?

[Hayato]

Based on the anime that was... based on the game? What?

[John Freeman]

Based on the anime that was... based on the game? What?
Galaxy Angel did it.

[Graus]

I honestly dont see this happening :oops:

[Gergoth]

I honestly dont see this happening :oops:

I said the same thing about Arcana Hearts about a year ago! Right now, anything can happen (and AH really gives me hope!)

I would also like to vouch for this game. This and Melty Blood. Hell, license them both and throw them into a TM double Pack! :D

[tigon5]

I think Fate Unlimited Codes would be a good game to localize since Fate/ Stay Night is having another go in the U.S with Funimation re-releasing the anime and Tokyo Pop releasing the manga in the fall.

[CSXLoser]

the game looks pretty fun. It seems to be a little similiar to Melty Blood but 3D. You can sidestep to avoid the projectile attacks but man, 20+ hit combos and those super combos done when you are trapped to a wall....

but it's so awesome to see Archer chanting Unlimited Blade Works as he is kicking ass :D

[unknown]

If this does somehow make it over, KEEP THE ORIGINAL UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS chant Atlus.

The dub one sucks.

[Gergoth]

I think Fate Unlimited Codes would be a good game to localize since Fate/ Stay Night is having another go in the U.S with Funimation re-releasing the anime and Tokyo Pop releasing the manga in the fall.

Agreed! I think more people will be familiar with the Fate name and characters than, say, Arcana Hearts (I'm not bashing Arcana, I love that game! I'm just trying to prove apoint :D ). This has an advantagge of having both an anime and an upcoming manga to help spread the word (in addition to the TM fanatics that roam the countryside!).

That being said, I do hope that this is something that will be considered!

[Zeether]

If you guys do get it, put in dual audio.

But yeah, don't touch the UBW chant, leave it the same.

[plaid_knight]

I'd love to see this game get a release over here.

[CSXLoser]

man now Melty Blood Actress Again is out. So maybe Atlus can do a Type-Moon special bundle and bring this game and Actress Again (when it gets PC/console port) across shores?

[QBasic]

Um, that's an arcade game with no ported confirmation...

On top of that...*sigh* Do I really need to go into detail? I'll just make it brief. Melty Blood is a full blown sequel to Tsukihime. Tsukihime is a full blown PORN visual novel...

Atlus simply CAN'T release Tsukihime...and Persona 2 is the perfect example of what happens when you localize a sequel without the original story...

[CSXLoser]

^ but people have the anime/manga to go by instead of the visual novel just like Fate.

And yea i know theres not confirmation on the port but I just have the feeling xD

Alright, I never said Fate/unlimited codes was impossible. Fate/Stay night was in fact, a decent adaptation of the novel.

Unfortunately, when it comes to Tsukihime, the adaptations are soooo ####ty, and the audience sooooo niche...it's not even close to worth bringing over.

Well in the end, both of these games' chances of coming here are very slim :cry:
god Tsukihime anime...bad memories bad memories

[Zeether]

There is no Tsukihime anime. :lol:

[syl]

I'm all for broken combo chains and cool Japanese seiyu; don't know the plural.
I think Capcom jointly produced Unlimited Codes & that kinda lowers the chances...

[Nerroth]

F/UC (http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/) would be great to see in the West - as would a special edition with the Lily Saber (http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/cs1.html) Figma fig that is being released in Japan!

The latter would be even less likely than the former, however.

[Hayato]

The latter would be even less likely than the former, however.

I disagree. A video game takes lots of work to prepare for an English-speaking audience, whereas a figurine just needs to be shipped here. There's certainly a lot of online stores you can order figurines from (particularly Figma series stuff; it's so popular).

[Nerroth]

I meant that it would be even less likely for an English version to be packaged with the Saber Lily fig - which, unlike the regular Saber (http://figma.jp/products/2008/fig0804-02.html) model that Figma sell, will be limited (for the time being) to the F/UC special edition.

Getting an additional production run of Saber Lily might be tricky...

...but if it isn't, well and good!


(However, even the regular Figma Saber would be a great choice, as would the Figma Rin (http://figma.jp/products/2008/fig0808-01.html).)

[Hayato]

Oh, duh. XD I suppose I should have actually read the page you linked rather than looking at the pretty picture. 8'(

I'm not really big on Figma (or figurines in general), though.


I don't really know how often Atlus licenses fighting games, so I don't really have much to say other than this feels like it'd be tricky to get over here since there is this mindset people have that games based on other things like films aren't very good.

And I heard that Arcana Heart didn't do super spectacularly, so...

[hitosura22]

the game looks so good. if you brought over arcana hearts you should be able to bring it. you can bring this. plz listien lol

[Nerroth]

New trailer (http://www.4gamer.net/games/075/G007520/20081012006/) for the PS2 version - showing Saber Lily, Saber Alter and Bazett in action, as well as some of the game menus.

[Einherjar]

Would be awesome, but translating a game from CAPCOM???
Now that you think about it, tiger colosseum is by CAPCOM too...

[Nerroth]

Leysritt - one of Ilya's homunculus maids, armed with a halberd - has been revealed (http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/5391/lyzel0.jpg) as an additional character, too.

No sign of other potential characters like True Assassin, Kuzuki, Sakura (non-Dark version - could be done, based on how she is shown in HA) just yet, however.

[Einherjar]

Archer UBW 10K combo...

Now, the video's speed is kinda slow, and the players are not like 138 godly, so bare with it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvcoxck_c90 (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvcoxck_c90)

Apparently you can spam sword rain in UBW (not the finishing special).

Isn't 10K all the hp a person get? >_>

And Leysritt is old news actually...

syl

This.

[Neuro]

I'd love to see this in english, but I suspect even for a niche title fate/stay night isnt too huge among english speaking audiences. Geneon going tits up mid-way through releasing the anime probably didnt help much.

[Nerroth]

Well, Geneon got the whole thing out before they went, Funimation's release is out now, and the manga is out this or next week...

[Einherjar]

New trailer (http://www.4gamer.net/games/075/G007520/20081012006/) for the PS2 version - showing Saber Lily, Saber Alter and Bazett in action, as well as some of the game menus.

My Firefox can't play that video for some reason.
Here's the a youtube link for anybody with similar problems.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=RcSc2GLyHpU

[Nerroth]

Said trailer is now up at the official site (http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/cs1.html), along with more info on Bazett and Saber Alter.

[DevilKingBaal]

I agree. This game along with Fate/Stay Night (I don't care if you have to just get the PS2 Version! Do it please!) should be localized. It'd be a shame for the American audience who aren't able to import to miss out on this game. (IE: Me and other people)

[Nerroth]

Leysritt (http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/cs_charactor.html#3) - one of Ilya's homunculus maids - is now listed on the F/UC site.

[sozuke]

they need to bring this game here, their is a huge fanbase for the anime and Visual novel in the U.S. and the world. So please atlus bring it out here.

[QBasic]

No there's not... The visual novel fanbase is as niche as they get.

As for the anime...even though anime has started to grow out of the "cartoon space" in society's eyes...it's still not exactly what you'd call expansive.

Let's just say this much...#### like Naruto will get WAY more attention that it deserves, instead of stuff like Fate/stay night. Hence, localizing a crapload of Naruto games is a gimmie. The former...not so much. They've done it once or twice in the past...and it failed epically.

That said...kinda dwindles down the chances, don't it?

[Master Pogi]

I am ALL FOR THIS GAME GETTING LOCALIZED. Capcom is producing it I think, and I think this is great title for Atlus to get localized. The US needs some Type Moon works. But if not, I'll just pick up the overpriced JP version just like the rest of the super pwnsome JP games that never see the light in the states. :very_sad:

[Master Pogi]

You speak the truth.:agree:

[Einherjar]

After watching the new trailer showing off the bonus stuff you get in the PS2 version, I must say, I'm deeply impressed. Even so, localizing this game is still out of reality's reach, huh...

[Olethros]

This is never, ever, ever going to happen. The only people with less chance to get their games localized than the SRT crowd are the visual novel crowd.

...and yet they always continue to crawl out of the wood work. :confused:

[Nerroth]

Except that this isn't the VN we're discussing in this thread...

[Olethros]

^ Well, I stand corrected. Luckily for me, though, my prediction is just as valid. As far as I'm aware, Arcana Hearts was an experiment that didn't exactly turn a great deal of dividends. Factor in the rapidly approaching death of the PS2, and your fighting game has as much chance as SRT and your visual novel.

[Nerroth]

I guess if Sony hadn't taken out the backwards compatibility on the PS3, that would have helped a little - but even so, there is still a very large userbase for the PS2 out there, and Sony aren't quite doing what Microsoft did with the Xbox (ie pull up the drawbridge prematurely).

Still, even if it is a long shot, I'd like to see it have a chance.

That whole compatibility issue is just why I'm getting a JP 20/60 Gig PS3. I can play PS3 games from overseas and from the US, and I can play JP PS2 games all in one. Oh btw, I still use my PS2 and there are still more games releasing on this console. I don't think the PS2 will completely die in a long time as long as this keeps going. Even so, it would be nice if we could get some Type Moon games localized. They make such great fighting games.

I thought you can play japanese ps3 games on american ps3s?

I mean i have the PAL verison of GTA4 and it plays fine on my NTSC-U Ps3.

If im right just save your money and go for a JP ps2

[Servent_Kite]

I hope Atlus will at least consider bringing this game over to the states, as a big Type-Moon fan I would love to be able to finally play one of the fighting games in the series in English.

[Einherjar]

With all that extra stuff you get in the ps2 version (story mode, mission, gallery, etc), translating this is actually worthwhile.

[Nerroth]

Get a (slightly older) J-PS3 which still has the backwards compatibility?

Interesting - but would that mean its Blu-Ray player will be region 2 only? (That would still cover Europe, which would suit me, being originally from Ireland, if that had to be the way. And getting an EU PS3 would mean having it run in PAL instead of NTSC, and at 220v instead of 110...)


But, can the system be set to run in English, the way a PSP can, or will it run in Japanese only?


(Actually, that idea about a J-PS2 might work, too - since it would be cheaper, and let me bring European DVDs over to Canada with me in future, and play them on it! But then, can it be switched to run in English, either?)

[QBasic]

Slightly off topic: I just snagged and played Crucis Fatal Fake. Badass game.

Wish Unlimited Codes is like it...only like, better and more expansive.

[Einherjar]

offtopic:
I am extremely disappointed with C F/F and F/UC's Assassin.
F/F has the best Assassin, period.
That aside, F/UC nailed Archer.

What disappoints me with Crucis is really...the lack of any Dark Saber goodness. T_T

But, I'm not too picky with it.

[Einherjar]

I'm not really picky, but Tsubame Gaeshi looked pretty bad in F/UC and C F/F. it looked absolutely perfect in F/F and I don't see why they ruined it in C F/F. I mained Assassin, and I can tell you, Assassin is the most powerful character if you mastered his 236B and his just guard. He would be immune to everyattack except Lancer's Freeze time special. Even his Gaebolg lance throw is useless against Assassin.

That aside, I should considering learning Japanese. It'll probably help a lot in the long run.

[Servent_Kite]

I really do hope Atlus brings this over, with the PS2 nearing the end of it's lifespan we wont be seeing much attention for it anymore which will be a shame. I know I would be forever grateful to Atlus if they brought the game over since I think us English speaking TYPE-MOON fans should be able to check out at least one game in the series without resorting to other methods.

[Genjo]

hmm the chances for Atlus touching capom/Typemoon works are like 000.000.001% of ever happening. i dont think its going be easy for Atlus to bring this game over (even if they did try) some of the characters in the game has not seen the daylight of U.S market. i would think if they did got the chances they might have cutt few of the characters out and i dont think many fans would be please to see those juicy characters be cutt out of the game lol so what i am going do is import it like every importers do lol

[Nerroth]

Looks like a new trailer (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=xixcN5IuLl8) is up...

i just pre-ordered my copy so i am going getting that Saber Liliy figure XD!

[DevilKingBaal]

...and yet they always continue to crawl out of the wood work. :confused:

They're releasing One Piece: Unlimited Cruise over here in the US knowing how terribly Unlimited Adventure sold over here.

I think if Namco Bandai knows how horribly their games sold and they're still going to ship the sequels over here, then even us FSN fans can at least hope for Atlus to localize this.

I don't have a JP PS2 nor do I want to go through the trouble of buying a PS2
and modding it. I have a 60GB PS3 and if Atlus localizes this I can play it.

Several FSN fans over here in the US want this game localized. Arcana Hearts got localized and there was a slim chance of that happening.

Fact is, we have a chance. No matter how slim it may be.

[Nerroth]

More info (http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/cs_mode.html) on the main site about the various PS2-specific options.


And there is a Kirei-eating-curry mode.


Ciel would be so jealous.

[Einherjar]

Sorry, but those are Chinese hot Tofu... if you read HF, you'd understand.
I have no idea why he likes that stuff though.

I've had a chance to test this game out at an arcade during my short trip to Japan; most of the players there mained Assassin, but I did not know why at the time. I guess you just quickly summed everything up right there.

The game is awesome, btw. I've already got this game pre-ordered off Play-Asia, but I didn't think the Saber Lilly was worth it for me.

[Einherjar]

Sorry, but that is the Fatal Fake Assassin. I love that Assassin the best as it matches a Samuri's style the best. That aside, Assassin is still pretty cheap in F/UC (his parry moves are.. scary), but I have to consider Archer and Rin more dangerous. Rin can deal 9K, and Archer has godly combo range.

Sigh - if only (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/Nerroth/1192579671452.jpg)...


(I doubt you'll see that kind of move in Project DIVA (http://miku.sega.jp/)!)

[Hossaria]

Coming to PS2 in Japan, based on Fate/stay night animu.

Possible license for Atlus?

It's not really based on the anime, it's based on the eroge/visual novel style games.Based on the anime that was... based on the game? What?
Galaxy Angel did it.

No it didn't.

[Nerroth]

More preview stuff - this time, a sample (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Cej8CYpHTes) of the Saber Lily mission mode.

[Einherjar]

Damn it, I want UBW Shirou and UBW Gil.

[Rein]

I put my vote in the hat for this game.

I've thoroughly enjoyed everything from Fate and I know it may have a niche fanbase but I think that its definitely growing. Besides, it seems like Atlus has generally focused on the niche markets as it is. I mean, why else would they only do very limited production runs of a lot of their games even if they become huge hits?

[Einherjar]

I've finally got the game. Great stuff. The quality is surprisingly high for a ps2 game.

[Nerroth]

Lancer from Fate/Zero is in the PS2 version (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=mrkUbnBOwk8) as an unlockable character!


(And he's voiced by the seiyuu who does Yoshino from Clannad. Coolness.)

[Einherjar]

Fate/Unlimited codes was on the top 10 gamefaq PS2 message board!

[Zeether]

Hmm, sounds like this game might be destined for a release here.

[Snow Wood]

Day one purchase for me, if this localization ever happens. I know a handful of others who would jump at this, too. Shame if it doesn't -- It looks pretty good from the gameplay vids I've seen.

[James Fiend]

Archer chanting the UBW while fighting is undeniably cool.

[Kyoji]

Oh, I really would love to see it hit the US, but the chances are most likely slim to none.

[Zeether]

8ing developed the Naruto fighters on Gamecube and Wii which sold pretty well. I think if this game got here it would have a chance considering that it's developed by the same company.

[Snow Wood]

8ing developed this game? Cool. Now I'd like it to come out here even more. My buddies and I would spend hours playing the Bloody Roar games back in the day. Oh well, I hope not to get my hopes up over it.

[Azmid]

The game is published by Capcom right? I think if it were to get an overseas release, they would do it themselves. I remember reading that they wouldn't mind giving the game an overseas release as long as there is demand. (I can't find the link anymore through google though, but I was read that along with a future megaman game)

Regardless, would be great if it got an overseas release.

I for one, did not know that Capcom cares. I'll check out the forums to check.

Looks like there's gonna be a PSP version (http://nrvnqsr.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1501&page=69#262658), too!


I'd definitely love to see that one brought over...

[Maken]

I've only heard negative things about Fate Unlimited Code's gameplay: it's system is broken and, allegedly, not very fun to ...play. Sad, since I'm a fan of most Type-Moon work.

What about BLAZBLUE? AFAIK, it hasn't been licensed for a stateside release, and is scheduled for an arcade-to-PS3 port in Japan. Produced by the same team behind Guilty Gear, with music by series creator Daisuke Ishiwatari.

Eh? EH?

[Enzeru]

What *is* Fate/Stay night etc? I've heard that a lot, but don't really know where to look for info.

What *is* Fate/Stay night etc? I've heard that a lot, but don't really know where to look for info.

The original F/SN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate/stay_night) was a visual novel released in Japan five years ago - and which has spawned a manga, an anime, several games, a light novel series, and a tooooooooooon of fan works!

A good place to talk Fate is here (http://nrvnqsr.proboards20.com/index.cgi), if you want to visit.

Thats odd considering its being generally well received on the more "hardcore" fighting sites such as Shoryuken etc.

[Damien]

I woudn't buy the PS2 ver because non RPGs really geting old on this console. J-Fighting games are good and all but PS2 should keep the flow of RPGs since nex-get has a lack-of.

However, I'm all for the PSP version of this game! It has more content than the PS2 ver and J-fighting games on the PSP are awesome! Really hope Atlus is eyeing these games. :D

[Nerroth]

Update (http://www.capcom.co.jp/fate_uc/psp_index.html) to the official site.

[Zawa]

Luls, I support this idea, because the game could probably be a stand alone title, I mean even for those unfamiliar with the franchise should be comfortable with how the game looks, if you ask me. The only problem with the people who aren't familiar with F/SN would probably the small character rost... After all, who can resist overkill?

[Saburo Hikari]

This would be a day 1 purchase for me. I love Fate/stay night and I've been wanting to play this game. It looks better than I thought.

[Igor]

I have never seen this anime, but I just watched a trailer and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. If this were released I would definitely buy it.

Those people criticizing the game are probably people who didn't play deep enough and doesn't have what it takes to pull off such a combo. After all, fighting games require a bit of... time. And most of the combos aren't really practical. 7Ks are standard, but I don't seriously see it as broken, just much more punishing. IMO, it's much more intense then a lot of the fighting games out there.

[growlanservoter]

I love Arcana heart

[Routou]

Since its basically an H-game.
I highly doubt that atuls would bring it over.

[Constraint]

A portable version is coming out.
http://www.siliconera.com/2009/03/26/fateunlimited-codes-portable-dated/

maybe release that one?

[growlanservoter]

on youtube and i have to say ive fallen in love with this game iam importing it ^^ But I vot for a US release. :)

[Kid Marin]

Fate Unlimited Codes (PS2) is apparently coming to Europe (USK rating):

Fate Unlimited Codes (PS2, Capcom)
Freigegeben ab 16 Jahren gemäß § 14 JuSchG
http://www.gamefront.de/

[Constraint]

Er, what? I thought it was the PSP version.

http://www.siliconera.com/2009/04/03/capcom-europe-publishing-fateunlimited-codes/

[Kid Marin]

^ Yes, Siliconera is correct. Gamefront probably messed up.

[growlanservoter]

But thi game like most fighting games don't do well on the psp I prefer my ps2 copy even though I will prob import the psp version just for the little extras ><

All I have to ay is Youtube does Zero lancer no justice at all the graphics quality of this game blew my mind when I started playing ^^

[Constraint]

Um, what?

[InfiniteNine]

I'd buy this so fast.

[growlanservoter]

All I have seen for this game is praise what site is giving it negative reviews?

[growlanservoter]

I finally unlocked zero lancer woot.

[landlock]

It's true Gamepress.com have the PSP version listed for a Euro release sometime in 2009. Seems like a little bit of a strange move by Capcom. Cool none the less.

[growlanservoter]

Thats awsome news sense the psp is region free ^^

[Nerroth]

Interesting (http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/04/28/captivate_09_fateunlimited_codes)...


...though if Capcom won't do an actual UMD release, it would be a shame if they won't let anyone else release it in that format either...

[Hamel]

Not intrested
Fighting games for the PSP are crap
should have broght the PS2 version

[Fenrir]

I think this is a very good suggestion, it does need to come here. Absolutely. O:

I really support this. huge fan of fsn. Been wanting to play this for the longest time.

1st day buy for me.

[CorneirPandora]

I would buy this game in a heart beat.

Not intrested
Fighting games for the PSP are crap
should have broght the PS2 version

It makes sense from a business standpoint though. This is a somewhat niche fighting game (for North America at least), so releasing it in a download only format reduces potential losses from printing costs if it doesn't catch on. And since not all PS3s are backwards compatible with PS2 games, a PS3 download of the PS2 version probably isn't possible.

Just as it says, Capcom is releasing it in North America as a download only.

It's this download only crap that pushes me to piracy. I WANT TO OWN MY GAMES, NOT FREAKING LICENSE THEM!

Making it a download only seems stupid and not stupid at the same time.

[Nerroth]

If they at least let you buy the voucher for the game in-store, the way you can for Patapon 2, that would be something.

Fate/Stay Night might be a niche game, but I don't think this game is like that.
My friend doesn't watch anime at all, and only knew of Fate/Stay Night because of a few clips I showed him on Youtube. A guy that he worked with brought it in one day. The next day in class he showed me all of these combo commands he printed out from the internet. He loved the game.

[Uthred]

Since its basically an H-game.
I highly doubt that atuls would bring it over.

Fate/Stay Night on the PC is an eroge, Fate/Unlimited Codes is a fighting game with no adult content, try to keep up.

Not to mention Fate/Stay Night was ported to the ps2 and all of the hentai content was removed and replaced with new scenes and voice acting. An anime was created that also removed all of the H-scenes. That anime is popular in North America and Europe. So even if people never played the game they could watch the anime if they wanted to understand what was going on.

Sure there was some HF content in Fate/Unlimited Codes, but not so much that people would not be able to pick up on what's going on.

[Clephas]

Heh... I played the Fate/Stay game... and the plot was ridiculously well-written, setting aside the sex scenes. Well, not that that was unexpected from Nasu. I've never seen anything he did that wasn't interesting and obsession-causing at the very least.

[OverGAR]

I wish that they add Lancelot and Iskander from Fate/Zero, they were better than Lancer/Zero and even Saber in that time.

[Syrione]

They should consider the PSP version instead as it will have more content than the PS2 version.

Great game though lots of stuff to practice and master. It also has a lot of mini-games.

[Zombie_Punk]

Capcom is publishing the PSP version in North America. It'll be download only.

[Zenieth]

No number of tears can express the level of joy that I feel from knowing this is coming, I loved the anime and the visual novel and oh God am I going to love this.

[Overlord Laharl]

i never played this game,hahahahaha!

[jaykho213]

I got this game last year.. Archer rocks! But i love using Saber Alter.
