Aksys Games announced earlier today that they will be publishing the prequel to last year’s Record of Agarest War for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Curious on whether or not they will be releasing it as a standalone disc for the PlayStation 3 this time around? The answer is a resounding “yes!” As Ben Bateman, the localization editor for Aksys Games stated, “we will be releasing Record of Agarest War Zero on a disc for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system. It was made excessively clear to us that there are a number of people who do not care for downloading their videogames. I am told this number is bigger than a breadbox, and so we have gone to great lengths—I personally have killed at least five orcs—to ensure that everyone will have the opportunity of sliding a shiny, new physical disc into the console of their choice. Or both, if they are into that sort of thing.”
Aside from being a prequel, Record of Agarest War Zero has several new features, including:
-Living Portraits: Character portraits will now be animated instead of static, players can now see characters displaying a number of emotions including surprise, despair, joy, etc.
-New Card Skill System: Players now have more control over the battle style of the main character, and his skills, through a new card based system. By picking the different cards, players can now change the fighting style of the main character.
