PS3 Offers News Channel With Evangelion Newscaster

Misato Katsuragi Houdou Keikaku (Misato Katsuragi Report Program) is a PlayStation 3 news brodacast with Nerv’s operations director as the newscaster. The PlayStation Network show pulls news from the Mainichi Shimbun, a major newspaper in Japan, and has Katsuragi read the headlines.

She actually reads the news with a synthetic voice provided by Hitachi’s Speech Synthesizer program Ruby Talk. The program covers headline news, sports, and “subculture.” Users can also change Misato’s outfit to something other than her Nerv uniform.

Misato Katsuragi Report Program is created by Cellius, a company co-owned by Namco Bandai and Sony. The service starts on June 6 and of this is only for Japan.

Bandai shows Gundam Video on Demand service for PS3

Quote:

While getting a chance to play The Behemoth's latest game at the Tokyo International Anime Fair today was certainly pleasant, it really wasn't a surprise. For the big surprise of the day, I had to go over to the Bandai Namco group booth, where Bandai Channel and Cellius (presumably the same Cellius that was formed in 2007 as a joint venture by Sony and Bandai Namco Games) were showing off an experimental PlayStation 3 video on demand service that could be the ultimate time killer for anime fans.

That sounds like it could be fun for the really die-hard fans, especially if they end up including all of the UC Gundam with a detailed timeline. Unfortunately, this probably has less of a chance of coming to the U.S. than Idolmaster.

It's also nice to hear that Cellius is working on something that probably isn't an April Fool's Day joke.

Read this earlier. Thing that interests me the most here is knowing Cellius is actually working on something. Let's hope they announce projects they've been working on this year!

Why would it have less of a chance of coming over? It's based on something that sells moderately here, opposed to Idolmaster which hasn't even a market outside Japan.

Bandai's weird about exporting Gundam, especially the original series. Last I checked (and admittedly, it's been a while), we still only had the English dub for the show in the U.S., and one episode was deleted entirely because Tomino didn't like it.

Can you imagine the outrage if it ever came over though...

Story in first post.

Simplayer · 05-28-2009, 03:26 AM

So I guess they aren't going to be making any games.

Ah well, sounds kinda neat, I guess....

Aww, man, if that news service isn't IP locked I'm going to be really tempted to pick it up (I'm supposed to be learning Japanese anyway). I'm interested in how good the voice synthesis is; it's something RPGs could really use once it hits a certain quality level. As I recall, Cellius was formed to do software tech research for the PS3, and this is an interesting direction.

And I'm an Evangelion fan. They did a really good job on modeling Misato.

Has some info on the startup of Cellius but doesn't machine-translate well.

Remote Play? The WiFi LED is lit green and I've seen nothing about a separate online PSP app.

Remember the three games they showed on March 26 in '07.

Brave Arms
Chain Limit
Second Season 01

They looked like they have potential as Namco games but unfortunately they were just fake pictures.

When you formed a new company between two companies (Sony + Namco) in the same year as you show these three projects after 3 months that is insane. There is no way Team Ace (the team behind Ace Combat series) can work on three big projects on same time.

It's PS3's third year now and we still haven't seen any sign of any exclusives from Sony-Namco's Cellius. But don't worry they're working on it now.

Katamari Forever is exclusive and if it wasn't for the Cellius deal I don't know what Namco had decided then. But we can finally experience Katamari in Full HD 1080p.
One of the devs posted in SCEA's official blog to hear what PS3 users like about Katamari Forever.
Three new exclusive titles for PS3 are up on Namco Bandai's official site - new RPG - new shooter (many think it's Point Blank or a new Ace Combat) - new sport.
But we're not stopping there. When I check Cellius on wikipedia I found these two titles that was involved with Cellius project.
That Gundam game have we seen in Famitsu this year and the other one they're planning to make is a Katsuragi Misato (from Neon Genesis Evangelion) based game.

And we're also getting an expanded version of Tales Of Vesperia which I hope it will be released in the states and Europe as well.

Namco seems to finally realise that they haven't made any profit on the 360 after all these flops. Beautiful Katamari bombed big time. Ace Combat 6 bombed. Tales Of Vesperia bombed.

And is there one company that haven't falling into this Western shit that should be Namco.

Maximus · 07-01-2009, 01:02 PM

That's a really strangely written post. Looks like blogspam to me...

OT, the three projects you are talking about are not from Cellius, they are internal Scamco projects, they are ToV:E, AC7 and Katamari PSN.

Have they changed the list on Namco Bandai's official site after this article?

http://en.gigazine.net/index.php?/ne...90407_ps3_rpg/

Katamari isn't really a sport game? Tales Of Vesperia: E was on the list + a new RPG according to the article. But Ace Combat 7 as shooter is most likely.

CyberConnect 2 have another exclusive title for PS3, maybe that's the new RPG for PS3? Namco Bandai is usually the publisher for CC2 games.

It is spam as far as this thread is concerned.

Those placeholder untitled genre specific games have been there for years it's meaningless now.
