Camelot wishes to make Shining Force 4 (and other Camelot and Treasure's tidbits)

[FantaSoda]

God, I would love a new Shining Force! What can we do to make this happen?

Shining Force 4, the real Shining Force 4, is the one game I think I'd really lose my dang nut over.

Even knowing before I opened this thread it was highly unlikely, I felt a kind of 'everybody stop, I need to know everything' kind of thing.

I'm talking if I was watching a stream of some conference and 'Shining Force 4' faded in like at the end of that FFVII:Remake trailer, it'd be lots of noise and moving around totally embarrassing kinds of excitment. If they did it right.

If they're gonna do it, only do it right.

If and whenever this newfangled Shining Force IV happens, I want Yoshitaka Tamaki to design and illustrate both characters and monsters. He really deserves the work and he got his start largely by working on the first two Shining games. Few aside from me even know the name Fangs: The Saga of Wolf Blood, anyway.

That would be amazing. Loved his art. And I didn't know about that Fangs thing either!

The things I would do for a Shining Force 4...

 

[Morrigan]

Same. Well, only if Tony Taka isn't involved. If he is, then that game could die in a dumpster fire.

Why can't Treasure port Radiant Silvergun HD and Guardian Heroes HD to PS4/Steam?

I have them on my XBL account but I would buy them all over again.

Sega owns Guardian Heroes and MS holds the publishing right to RSHD.

I really expected a classic style Shining Force game to release one Fire Emblem Awakening was a good size hit, Shining Force 3 1-3 was so damn epic.

But Treasure owns Radiant Silvergun, I wouldn't believe it's permanent to MGS.

They could just re-port the game in 4K for PS4 and Steam and it would be a new game since it wouldn't be rehashing the 360 version probably.

The only reason they were able to do the HD upgrade for X360 was because MS paid for it, they're not going to be able to do a 4K remaster on their own dime and they don't want to release a straight port of the original game. (They also have basically no employees, or didn't until recently.)

So long as it returned to its tactical, turn-based roots I'd be game. I've always thought SEGA's CANVAS engine that was used for the Valkyria games would have been an excellent fit for a Shining Force sequel.

Nope, it's just that many years ago Capcom was publishing one of their golf game so fans speculated that maybe Camelot could be doing a new Breath of Fire too.

What's interesting about the interview above is that Takahashi bros. confirmed how part of Camelot's RPG team defected around 2005.

So that's what happened. That's why Dark Dawn was hard to produce. Because part of the team left the company.

I just wish Camelot didn't do so much /sports/. At least Aces look decent.
