PS3 exclusive 3D Dot Game Heroes may be coming to Xbox 360

November 9, 2009

PS3 exclusive 3D Dot Game Heroes may be coming to Xbox 360 From Software is on a roll, with Demon’s Souls doing extremely well and another title in the pipeline called 3D Dot Game Heroes for the PS3. 3D Dot Game Heroes is an homage to the classic action-adventure RPG games of yesteryears such as the Legend of Zelda. This game has been announced as a PS3 exclusive but there may be hope for Xbox 360 owners.

Those who have previewed 3D Dot Game Heroes (3DDGH) have been raving about this RPG game and its tribute to the classic action-adventure gameplay style. The game uses a stylized 3D pixel graphics to flesh out the characters in this game. The combat and gameplay mechanics are similar to that of the Legend of Zelda.

I had a dream like this once

The game was officially revealed to be coming to the US soon for the PS3 via the official Playstation twitter by Jeff Rubenstein.

He writes:

No need to import – 3D Dot Game Heroes for PS3 is DEFINITELY coming to NA! Spread the word, more to come

According to Joystiq this game may make its way to the Xbox 360 as well. Apparently, Hiroyuki Misawa, producer at Silicon Studios stated that an Xbox 360 port is “possible” but that its really up to From Software to make that decision. It seems like the developers are more than willing to port the game onto the Xbox 360, but the decision has to come from higher above.

  1. Roca.:

    I want this game so bad.

  2. Saber_HAHAha:

    Never even heard of it, but I’m sure it’s good. Let games like this be multi-plat.

  3. harry sachz:

    From Software seem to be pretty clever. Even Ninja Blade was fun.

  4. RobertCarr316:

    Games look like fun but I can’t see myself paying €60 for it

  5. Andrew_DS:

    Ha ha, all ps3 exclusives come to the 360 in the end. Oh my god, I sound like Ivan!

  6. phranctoast:

    or are at least on the PC.. oh wait.

  7. Barnabe Jones:

    Andy, the developer said they would like to bring it to the 360, but it’s up to the publisher. The publisher (From) stated a few weeks ago that it was staying exclusive. I would say it’s maybe 50/50 at this point.

  8. Barnabe Jones:

    Roca, I kicked maneater’s ass for you. It was a long drawn out fight, but I won.

    You didn’t get magic sword Makoto because all of the times the black phantoms killed you in body form on 4-1. That’s why I was getting so pissed off at them.

    Try using an agnite of guidance (spelling?). It shifts world tendencies more towards extremes. Since we have an unlimited supply of them, they will be really useful for WT events.

  9. Roca.:

    I dont think there is a chance for this on the 360. Most devs know the 360 fanbase are heavy on shooters and MP games. From Software had a (bad) taste with the 360 with Ninja Blade was.

    BJ,

    check this out.
    http://www.3d-heroes.net/main/

    also sorry for going off flying on you yesterday. im making a list of some stuff that I need.

    …..im still pissed that the boss from 4-2 was only coming after me. if it was for the Warding spell I would have not made it.

  10. Roca.:

    “agnite of guidance”

    wtf is that?

    ……Black Phanton, I hate those punks. they just want to messed up your game. remember the dude who killed and then he died again to invaded our world. I saw the same dude like 5 times yesterday.

  11. phranctoast:

    I’d say the way games games sell on the 360 in Japan may keep a port from being created. If it becomes critically acclaimed they may go with a NA port.

  12. Barnabe Jones:

    That’s how I beat Maneater. I just cast kept casting warding. No worries. It’s kind of a long battle. He keeps running away, so it takes a while.

    Did you do the Mephastophalies quest? You can only get that ring from doing it. I’m planning on doing that towards the end of my game.

    Also a black phantom that kills someone, gets resurrected, then suicides in his nexus so he can invade again seconds later… is a dick. It’s the equivalent of spawn camping in a FPS. It seems like there are a lot of people that do that.

  13. Roca.:

    what ring? and whats “agnite of guidance” ?

  14. Barnabe Jones:

    The foe’s ring. Plus she drops stuff that you can only get from her. Check out the guide later to see.

    I’m waiting until close to the end of my game. I’ll run through kill all of the NPC merchants, which should give me black CT. When you have pure black CT she appears and asks you to kill the NPCs in the nexus. There are a few items you can only get from her.

    Agnite of guidance – is a consumable item. It shifts WT closer to extremes. So if you’re almost White WT, but not quite pure, you can use the item to shit it to pure.

  15. Roca.:

    here is a list of the weapons I need.

    1-Epee Rapier
    2-Magic Sword “Makoto”
    3-Talisman of Beasts
    4-Blind
    5-Blueblood Sword
    6-Needle of Eternal Agony
    7-Lava Bow
    8-Insanity Catalyst
    9-Morion Blade

    im only missing 2 rings:
    1-Foe’s Ring
    2-Ring of Devout Prayer

    if you need any rings or weapon let me know

  16. Roca.:

    how come you dont use the shield I gave you.

    it regen your body 6HP/secs, and if you stack it with Regenerator’s Ring it will do 10HP/secs

  17. Barnabe Jones:

    I’ll make a list of stuff I need. We can compare and see if we can help each other out.

    The bow I gave you, and long sword+10 can be used to make Lava Bow and Morion Blade.

    Honestly I think all of the stone trophies are going to be hard to get. I still need pure clear stone if you have it.

    I’m just use to using the flame shield. It comes in handy for a few bosses, plus it is stronger then Adjudicator.

  18. Barnabe Jones:

    I’ll try it out tonight to see.

  19. Barnabe Jones:

    Want me to make Morion Blade and you make lava bow? That way we both don’t have to spend the demon’s souls to make them.

  20. Roca.:

    I think I have pure clear. what is that good for?

    as long as you have one from each stone we’ll be fine. it takes at least 4 playthrough to get platinum so there is no rush to get the stones trophy right now.

  21. Barnabe Jones:

    The secret dagger +4 that you gave me. It needs clear stone to be upgraded, since it is a unique weapon. I need to get it up to 10 for the trophy.

    The sword of searching is made from a piercing (sharp stone) weapon. I think you must have made that from your Schimatar +10.

    You have the trophy for clear stone, but I don’t think it’s from the Schimatar. Did you upgrade something else?

  22. Roca.:

    I dont think so, I have only upgraded Schimatar, the Dagger and the Shield I gave you

  23. Roca.:

    BJ,

    I got an idea, im going to use a meltdown stone to turned my Sword of Searching into a Schimatar, idk if I will get it back as a Schimatar +8

    but if I do, just trade the Sword of Searching back to me and I will drop the Schimatar +8. lets hope it works as planned.

  24. ncaissie:

    FYI

    Look at the estimated release date.

    http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10125827&logon=&langid=EN

  25. phranctoast:

    it’s obviously a place holder.

  26. ncaissie:

    “Oh my god, I sound like Ivan!”

    You probably are Ivan. One of his alter egos.

  27. ncaissie:

    could be.
    But there are many games listed in 2010 March and April.

  28. Ghost:

    @ Roca and BJ:
    Fukin CHEATERS hahahahahhahaha poor babies find the game to tuff to get all your trophys on your own have to make one and trade it back and forth..LMAO

  29. Barnabe Jones:

    Well to be fair, I beat the game on my own the first run and 1/4 way through NG+.

    Getting all of the weapons takes about 6 play throughs. We’re just cutting it back a bit by trading. The weapons needed for the trophy aren’t even as good as the weapons we have now.

    Plus when I first beat the game, I didn’t play online that much. It’s like a whole new game when you play co-op. And it’s even more fun when you actually know the person your co-oping with.

  30. Ghost:

    I know man just givin you guy’s shit….I am workin on my trophy’s also and your right it takes awhile but that’s all part of the demon’s souls experience :D

  31. Roca.:

    Ghost:
    “Fukin CHEATERS hahahahahhahaha poor babies find the game to tuff to get all your trophys on your own have to make one and trade it back and forth..LMAO”

    lmaoo…dont tell me you werent doing that with all the ppl in that chat the other day.. lol everybody does it, there is nothing wrong with it. there were like 10 of you playing Demon’s Souls, im pretty sure you guys be trading stuff too.

    BJ:
    “And it’s even more fun when you actually know the person your co-oping with.”

    its even more fun when we both get destroy by the same spawn camping intruder (fucking black Phamton) ;)

  32. Barnabe Jones:

    Yeah, it’s hard, but it’s really not THAT hard. It helps checking out a guide before you take on a level or boss.

    Plus you can always level up, upgrade equipment, or co-op if you get stuck.

    I’m not even sure I’m going to end up with the platinum for it. I’m not sure I can play it all the way through 4 times in a row. I’ll need to take a break at some point. :)

  33. Barnabe Jones:

    Also Roca, no need to melt down your weapon. It might be easier to just give me the clear stones.

    I’ll try to get Magic Sword Makoto for you. I think I might be able to.

  34. Roca.:

    at the end…we all do it for the hard earned cash (souls) :)

    BJ is not that hard, it took me 50 hrs to finish the first playthrought and 7-10hrs for the second one. I only need to finish world 5 then Ill move on to NG++ (3rd playthrough)

  35. phranctoast:

    GOW3 demo was so f’in great!!!!!

    The lighting effects alone where every time you swing your weapons you see its lighting from fire effects on walls and floor look phenomenal.

    The first guy I ever knew that owned a 360 played it this weekend, and said without missing a beat that he will be getting a ps3 for it. He asked if he needed to play the first two before and I showed him the GOW collection video coming out next week and he had a nerdgasm.
    He told his wife. There’s little questions to as to what I want for Xmas ;)

    Hey I’d keep the topic to 3D dot heroes, but hardly anyone seems interested in talking about it…..

  36. Roca.:

    “I’ll try to get Magic Sword Makoto for you. I think I might be able to.”

    idk what Happened, I talked to Satsuki in 4-1, he only appear in PWWT, he talked to me about the sword I should have just been able to get the sword in 4-2.

  37. Barnabe Jones:

    But then the black phantoms killed you a few times in a row while you were in body form. Getting killed in body form shits it to black.

    I beat 4-1 and 4-2 in body without dying too much. I’ll try to use the Agnites to see if I can make it pure white.

  38. Barnabe Jones:

    Phranc, 3D Dot heroes is a day one for me. I used to have the original Zelda for NES.

    It’s ironic that the game started on Nintendo, but Nintendo turned it’s back on it. They are more concerned with making scales and blood pressure monitors now. I remember “back in the day” when Nintendo cared about video games.

  39. JofaMang:

    Augites… how do they help make it pure white?

  40. Roca.:

    “Augites… how do they help make it pure white?”

    I though thats an Iten that can be used as a flare. im I right?

  41. JofaMang:

    Yeah, helpful in the early goings, as it is very visible marker (Tower of Latria was a bit easier with a few of these placed around.

  42. Roca.:

    hey Jofa, I saw Satsuki

    so im guessing im a Pure white. where the hell is the Magic Sword of Makoto?

  43. JofaMang:

    It is in the pit in 4-2 that Patches pushes you into, where you ave urbain from (behind the alter of the first black robed summoning dude) It is the item that was on top of the rock in anything but PWWT. In PWWT it will be on the ground. beware though, I believe the Satsuki Quest can only end in you killing him, heh. You might want to look it up to see how you want the quest to be completed.

  44. Roca.:

    I can get the sword an use Evacuate (miracle) to appear in the Nexus without killing him?

    also the altar is not in that pit, I believe is in the higher ground right?

  45. JofaMang:

    yeah the altar where the firs robed dude is after adjudicator(prefaced by a cinema scene the first time entering the room on a playthrough) is above and infront of the the pit that Patches pushes you into.

    You don’t finish the quest until you talk to satsuki in 4-1, so just stay away from him when you have it on you, heh.

  46. Barnabe Jones:

    Oh that’s what they are… not sure why I thought they shifted WT. Sorry wishful thinking I guess ;)

    It’s in the pit on a stalagmite, right? It drops to the floor at pure WWT, I beleive.

  47. Barnabe Jones:

    oh I’m wrong again then lol.

  48. JofaMang:

    “It’s in the pit on a stalagmite”
    That’s right, i was just explaining where the altar itself is.

  49. Barnabe Jones:

    oh ok good. I think I got confused.

    Are you sure you don’t want to de-level to help us out? ;)

  50. JofaMang:

    haha, i take delivery of U2 this afternoon, my copy of DS is already in my Buddy’s hands for a few weeks.

    I told him I am not letting him have it indefinitely, as I want to do more with it yet, but taking a few weeks of break from it nonetheless.

  51. Roca.:

    “It’s in the pit on a stalagmite”

    “That’s right, i was just explaining where the altar itself is.”

    ok which is it? the altar or the stalagmite

  52. Barnabe Jones:

    lmao the magic sword is on the stalagmite.

    Looking at the altar, on the left hand side there is a treasure guarded by a trap… idk what that is. I haven’t figured out how to get it.

  53. Roca.:

    you do you get the one from the stalagmite

  54. Barnabe Jones:

    I beat 4-1 only dying once or twice (thanks black phantom), I just beat 4-2 this afternoon in body form without dying once. I think I should be pretty close. If not, we can co-op 4-3 in my world tonight and that should do it. As long as I don’t dye in body form.

  55. Barnabe Jones:

    lol my avatar just changed. I changed it a few days ago.

  56. Roca.:

    cool, ill be home at around 6pm today, gotta get a hair cut first ;)

  57. harry sachz:

    And another 360 article has been hijacked with PS3 owners talking about Demon’s souls. Don’t you have a thread in Blorge.net for this type of stuff?

  58. Barnabe Jones:

    Just wait, if Final Fantasy XIV is free to play, you’ll never hear the end of our epic adventures.

  59. JofaMang:

    If you got it, Harry, you would get it. Honest Injun.

  60. JofaMang:

    If FFXIV is FTP, then I’m Jesus, and harry is Judas. Big ifs there, but yes, if it was free to play, blorge wouldn’t be safe. FFXIV = next gen FFXI. It won’t stay exclusive for long, if at all, and it def won’t be free to play.

  61. Roca.:

    we have WKC to do some more online co-op and brag about it before FF14

  62. Ivan_PSP:

    I already want Final Fantasy XIV is going to be the best FF yet.

  63. Barnabe Jones:

    I almost forgot about White knight. :) That’s going to be great.

    I’m not sure what to think about FF XIV. Supposedly the only reason it’s not coming to the 360 is it’s going to be free to play.

    On the other hand, I really don’t think the game will be free to play. SE is still planning expansions for FF XI. No one in their right mind would pay to play FF XI when XIV is free.

    I don;t care if it comes to the 360 or not, I just want it to be free to play. Which I highly doubt it will be.

  64. Roca.:

    and BJ, dont forget about WKC 2

  65. JofaMang:

    I stand by my belief that FFXIV will not be FTP. It just doesn’t make sense.

    FFXI was exclusive to the PS2, until it wasn’t anymore. There is no reason that this game can’t go the same way.
