For the upcoming Tokyo Game Show on September 16th, Square Enix and Namco have prepared a handful of great games to show off. Of the two, Namco seems to have the most interesting lineup, mainly because of their Xbox 360 titles and the upcoming Playstation 2 RPG Tales of the Abyss. But not to be left out, Square Enix still has some heavy hitters... even if they've already been shown several times before.

Namco's Lineup:

PS2 - Tales of the Abyss (Dec. Japan release, US date unknown)

PS2 - Soul Calibur III (Nov. 24th Japan release, Oct. 25th US release)

PS2 - Critical Velocity (Sept. 13th Japan release, US date unknown)

PS2 - Moto GP 4 (Sept. 15th Japan release, Oct. 18th US release)

PS2 - Urban Reign (Sept. 27th Japan release, Sept. 13th US release)

Xbox360 - Ridge Racer 6 (winter release)

Xbox360 - Frame City Killer (winter release)

DS - Quiz Yarou (winter release)

PSP - Bounty Hounds (winter release)

PSP - Portable Resort (winter release)

PC - Tales of Eternia Online (winter release)

PC - The Idol Master (winter release)

Square Enix's lineup:

PS2 - Code Age Commanders (Oct. 13th Japan release, US date unknown)

PS2 - Kingdom Hearts 2 (winter release)

PS2 - FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus (release date unknown)

DS - Slime Mori Mori 2 (release date unknown)

PS2/PC/Xbox360 - Final Fantasy XI (Xbox 360 release date unknown)

PC - Everquest 2 (release date unknown)

PC - Fantasy Earth (winter release)

Notably missing from the Square Enix list are Front Mission V -- shown in a trailer at the Square Enix show -- and Final Fantasy XII -- a game which was playable recently at the same show. Our speculation for Final Fantasy XII's no-show is that hopefully, the team's too busy to take time out for TGS as they're going into crunch mode for the last few months of development before the March 16th, 2006 release in Japan. We hope there are still some secret titles at both Namco and Square Enix waiting to be revealed at the show. Especially as the Playstation 3 rears its most beautiful head.

This plugin enhances the sound with PS2 emulators. It has been tested with PCSX2.

02. September, 2005    Version 1.3

 

- Educated ears (like the ones from R.Belmont ) noticed that the plugin's sound output was somewhat slower compared to the real PS2.

 

  Well, I've finally found some time, and I've fixed it.

 

  On the downside the plugin now needs a soundcard which can do 48Khz output (but prolly all nowaday cards can do that, at least my test systems had no problems).

 

  Please also be aware that some of the many pcsx2 patches are turning off the sound (for example I was wondering why my FF10 PAL version didn't play any sounds at all, until I've noticed that there was a pcsx2 patch which disabled the menu sounds... for unknown reasons, since after deleting the patch the music played fine in the plugin).
