"The PS3 exclusive White Knight Chronicles has now set a benchmark for 2nd week sales. After selling more than 200,000 in it's first week, the title continues to sell, according to the latest Famitsu numbers. Though it slipped from 1st to 6th overall in the rankings in it's second week, White Knight still sold 74,000 copies, which sets the record for best 2nd week of sales. It beat out Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4, which went from 480,000 to 64,000 and 212,000 to 34,000, respectively"

"Despite these issues, my two days with White Knight Chronicles illustrated that highly valid, age-old point: Don't believe everything you read. The game is no disaster, and all its issues could conceivably be addressed with a patch, or eliminated entirely from the forthcoming English version. It is immediately the best RPG on PlayStation 3, a platform that is desperate for a good one. Depending on how much the online mode has to offer, it may even have the potential to be great."

"Scores:

White Knight Bombicles: 7/7/8/7
--lots of optional content
--big boss battles
--simplistic combat
--customizable combos
--is basically like every other Level 5 RPG. Sadness befalls the land.
--Online has chat issues and a reviewer "hopes it will be patched in the future""

"Sony Computer Entertainment has released new screenshots of White Knight Story for the PlayStation 3 in the latest Famitsu showing some new creatures of the game. The title is set to release on December 25 in Japan.

Here are new official screenshots showing some weapons available in the game."

The official boxart for the PS3 RPG has finally been revealed, the Japanese version of it anyway. It certainly looks better than some of the supposed boxart shown in the past (those who have seen it will testify to that). Now all we need is a Western release date.

"White Knight Chronicles begins in the kingdom of Balandor, where the player's main character, Leonard, is attending a princess's coming-of-age banquet. When this banquet is raided by an evil corporation called "Wizard," Leonard grabs the princess and leads her to safety into the castle cellars. Down in these cellars, Leonard finds a suit of armor which can transform him into the White Knight, a powerful ancient warrior. Leonard, the princess, and their other companions will use the White Knig..."

"We're still recovering from our trip to TGS (in fact, we're still here in Tokyo). However, we thought you'd appreciate this list of new games which will definitely be supporting Trophies when they release on the PS3."

We've almost all heard about Square-Enix, but not many people have heard of Level-5, the company that are currently in the process of developing White Knight Story/Chronicles.

The question that diggingtheweb.com have asked is... can Level-5 dethrone Square-Enix? In terms of number of games, that's an obvious no with only 150 employees as at last year, however if you go by quality of games... well it was Level 5 who previously developed Dragon Quest VIII and that in itself says something ab...

It seems that GameKyo have done it again, and have managed to find yet another video for the upcoming game White Knight Story/Chronicles. This video in particular shows some gameplay from the game in high quality to boot.

"Sony Computer Entertainment made a press conference for White Knight Story for the PlayStation 3 at Tokyo Game Show 2008. A new trailer has been unveiled, and also some new details about online mode.
- Create and name your own combinations with the combo system.
- Build up your gauge and transform."

In the past few days we've seen alot of new details and scans as well as a video for White Knight Story/Chronicles, and this time we have many new screenshots.

Note that some of the screenshots at the source were released before, however the majority of them are new.

Be sure to check the images below and those at the source.

A new trailer for the beautiful RPG White Knight Chronicles has been shown at TGS and, one way or another, someone at GameVideos has snagged a copy.
From the title you can already tell how I think it looks, without a doubt this looks like the RPG to beat, and Level 5 haven't failed yet. The description says there is gameplay present but I didn't spot anything. Perhaps you can?



Discuss in the White Knight Chronicles forum

Some details previously emerged thanks to the Dengeki PlayStation magazine for White Knight Stories/Chronicles giving some details about the game, and shortly after more scans have emerged from Famitsu. Take a look at the scans below:

White Knight Chronicles, the highly anticipated PS3 exclusive RPG from development studio Level 5 has gone up a notch in my books. A Japanese gaming site has revealed a several new tidbits on the game, among them a claim that the story should last 100 hours, that the graphics will be 1080P and strangest of all there will be cooperative game play over PSN. None of this is confirmed just yet, but seems pretty concrete. Expect more a TGS

""If I think about hardware the news is already out so looking at software, on the Square Enix booth I'm interested in seeing how much of Final Fantasy XIII is finished and presented," he said. The level to which the game is presented will give a clue as to when it might be ready and that will have a direct impact on sales of the PlayStation 3 console.

"I'll also be looking to see if Dragon Quest IX is playable," said Hamamura. The latest installment in the long-running and hugely popular D..."

White Knight Chronicle -Pulse from the Past-

It's been a while, but we will be bringing you a lot of new information rapidly, so please check back frequently.

Now, this mega epic RPG is LEVEL5's largest project to date. We went through a lot of hardships to bring the game to this point, but the effort was worth it, and is something we can present with much confidence, as we bring the development to its conclusion.

"One of the most talent Japanese developers, Level-5 (White Knight Story, Dragon Quest IX : Protectors of the Starry Sky), has announced in the latest Famitsu magazine that a press conference named Level-5 Vision 2008 will take place in Japan on September 26. Level-5 wrote "A game revolution is beginning […] Wait for shocking announcements from Level-5!" as a slogan on the advertisement page.

The first scans of this week's issue of Weekly Famitsu have hit the internet, revealing that upcoming Level-5 RPG for the PS3, White Knight Chronicles, is now dated for a December 25th release in Japan.

There will be more info from this issue as it becomes available. Scans courtesy of Wii @ Everyday.

"Oh ho ho. We told you to take that White Knight Story-is-dated-for-Japan-December-11th story with a "pinch — nay, a handful — of salt". And good thing! Pictured is the new issue of Famitsu which was supposed to contain this announcement. It doesn't. At all. Not only is there not a single article on the PS3 RPG exclusive, the game isn't even given a launch window. Just look at the cover and see how there's not a single mention of White Knight Story (in Japanese 白騎士物語). You'd think a big Level-..."

"We were getting worried about White Knight Story. The yummy PS3-exclusive RPG from Level-5 looked incredible ... but then it disappeared off everyone's radars since its last showing at TGS 2007. Looks like it's a lot farther along than any of us could've imagined, with the RPG getting a Japanese release later this year. Famitsu reports that White Knight Story will be available in Japan on December 11th, just in time for the holiday season.

We're eagerly awaiting TGS next month so we can ge..."

"Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed that the sharp-looking PS3 RPG White Knight Story will launch sometime in fiscal 2008.

This means that the game, which has the player transforming into a gargantuan knight during battles, will arrive sometime before March 31, 2009, if all goes as planned."

White Knight Story has definitely been keeping silent these last few months, that's if you ever heard about it in the first place. Basically this is a RPG created by Level 5 (the makers of Rogue Galaxy) for the PS3 and by the look of the scans is definitely a title to pick up (whenever is comes out)
