A callback to the PS3 early days.
I still have a set with the camera, playmat etc and loads of extra cards somewhere in storage and I haven’t owned a PS3 for years.
It was by no means a perfect game but it was such a unique experience that I just loved.
Imagine if someone made a modern version based around Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh or hell even pokemon TCG. Summoning your monsters and watching them attack. I’d eat that right up!
I think, if Sony owns the rights to it, a standalone game with the original rules would be great. The main things I loved were the direction based attacks, the variety of cards, and the elemental/flippable game tiles that could affect a lot of different classes.
They made a PSP version of the game I used to play WAY more than the PS3 version, but I think the people who bought the full game had a sour taste in the mouth when they found out you could print the right code and “own” whatever characters that were in the booster packs.
I do agree I loved it the way it was and think it worked very well I just don’t think it sold very well. I don’t think I met anyone else that was aware of it, let alone played it.
I didn’t know there was a PSP version though, I might have to get a ROM of it and load it up onto my vita and give it a go! I’m guessing you would recommend giving it a try? ;P
I do remember printing a load out for myself at the time when I realised it was possible but it could never replace the look and feel of real cards.
I’m going to have a search tomorrow for my set actually now after having this comversation, just to see what I actually have and check it isn’t getting damp :D
Oh yeah definitely recommend checking it out, I may have to get an emulator because my PSP is deep in my closet in several different pieces currently. I’ve been itching to play Metal Gear Ac!d anyway, so this may be my excuse.
I’ve never researched a PSP emulator for Android but I may now so I can still play on the go.
