Title: Chaos Wars for the PS2 Confirmed.
Post by: schild on January 10, 2008, 12:33:03 PM
Will be getting preview code and such (hopefully)? (They replied to a press request).

Anyway, WHAT IS CHAOS WARS? Well, it's being published late February/early March by O~3 Entertainment.

How they got the license? Don't know. Who gives  ashit?

It's an SRPG that brings together a handful of series. Or rather, the characters from them. Oh, why hello, box art.

Is that Yuri from Shadowhearts? OMG I THINK IT IS.

Oh, look at all those logos in the bottom right. Man, what a conglomeration. Was it good?

...I don't know anyone that played it.

Anyway, yea, I'm still baffled by how O~3 got the license for a game with Aruze, Red Ent, Atlus, and Midway Characters. Meh. Whatever. WOOO. Capcom vs. Namco next plz.

Contest:  Name each character without cheating and looking it up.

I'd fail miserably.  Not because I haven't played most of them, but because I never manage to remember what the characters look like.  I played a million hours of Final Fantasy and I can't tell the difference between Cloud Strife and Tidus.

Hard to name them because of the crap Idea Factory characters mixed in.

I think the only character on that whole Box i can name is the one From Gun-Grave.

Only Yuri matters. Being a godslayer is only about 5% of his badassedness.

Can't name any of them.  From the looks of it I haven't played any of the games any of these characters are from.

Don't know any either.  What series are they drawing these characters from?

Chaos Wars is a crossover between several companies' console role-playing game series: Aruze's Shadow Hearts, Atlus's Growlanser, Idea Factory's Blazing Souls, Gakuen Toshi Vara Noir, Spectral Force, Spectral Souls and Hametsu no Mars, and RED Entertainment's Gungrave and Samurai Police/Shinsengumi Gunrouden.

That's why it's such a strange release.

It's a crossover that makes no sense.
