New games either big or small are getting ready for the Tokyo game show this week. Star Ocean 4 is just one of the games popping out this time. It is detailed as a XBOX360 exclusive. A part of the plot has been leaked; its world war 3 in the year 2064, we are forced to be hidden in under ground cities.
That right there makes me want this game badly.

Japanese games big and small are coming out of the woodwork for their big Tokyo Game Show debut next week. It's the biggest game party in the country, and everyone is gonna be there, so a Japanese company missing its chance to show off its wares to the public at TGS would be akin to it not shipping the game to stores because it just didn't feel like getting out of bed that day. You wouldn't do it, in other words, if you wanted to get any money out of it.

So it is with Star Ocean: The Last Hope, fourth game in the series and -- for now, anyway -- an Xbox 360 exclusive. Square Enix and tri-Ace's latest is hitting stores spring 2009 in Japan, and it'll be playable at the Microsoft booth in TGS next week. Weekly Famitsu magazine celebrated today be releasing more details behind the game's story, characters and plot. As far as Star Ocean's plotline goes, this game covers what could be considered prehistory -- the second half of the 21st century. World War III breaks out in 2064, razing the planet and forcing people to live in underground cities. The world governments see space development as a solution, and after the world's first working warp drive is invented in 2087, a new planetary exploration force is created to search for a new home for the human race.
