Mere minutes after the story begins, Vanilla finds himself piloting a Trotmobile. These simple - and pretty small - two-legged mechs are the way to get around in the world of Steambot Chronicles. STEAMBOT CHRONICLES is a breath of fresh air, reviving a many of the common action and role-playing games by making it a combination of both in which the individual player’s choices turn it into.
I really hope this ends up coming out over here. That is the one things that I really miss on the PS3 from the PS2 days, the quirky Japanese games. Sure we still get the big stuff, but during the lifespan of the PS2 we also got a bunch of the smaller games like Steambot.I will be extremely happy if this and the new Atelier game both make it out over here.Atelier will make it over for sure (NIS brings pretty much all Atelier games stateside except for one DS one (one DS one is coming stateside, the other isn't)). This game probably will too since ATLUS has published many Irem games.Most of the reason we just didn't see many of those games on PS3 is because next gen development costs have increased quite a bit (from most devs only needing to sell 100k to break even last gen, to 500k in order to break even this gen) compared to last gen and most of the Japanese market is now on handhelds (compared to PS2 last gen). That's pretty much why we just don't see many of these games come alone, just very risky (some Japanese developers like Hudson stated they could not afford to develop on PS3 until development costs decrease). I think we'll definitely see more of these games in the future since development kit prices dropped significantly and the PS3 userbase is over 3 million now, but it won't be anything close to last gen (partially because the costs will never get as low as last gen, unless you make downloadable games).
