    In an IGN feature released yesterday, they report that an RPG by Camelot is almost surely going to be released for the Nintendo Revolution, though a date is not yet known. With Nintendo's large Revolution prescence at this year's E3 event, I would imagine that we will be hearing at least something about this game, and probably whether or not it is another installment in the GS series or a new original game. It's been awhile since we've heard any decent news about GS, so hopefully this May will finally either bring us good news or set to rest our expectations.

    On another note, I'd like everyone to head over to the GSW site and fill out the user survey linked to in the latest news post. The information from that survey will greatly aid in the development of the game.

      I've lost hope in it being a GS game. I took the survey, on a random note. >_>

        Golden Sun on the Revolution. That's just perfect. I guess I won't be playing GS3 then.

          If it's not a GS3, it should at least be a similiar game in terms of gameplay.

          I can't see why it WOULDN'T be a GS3, though that's not to say that I'm 100% confident it is, either.

            That's certainly true. The Golden Sun license would be fairly powerful for Camelot, and the fact that it's been so long since the second game should generate high fan demand. But of course, if it isn't, expect to see references to the GS games, in its gameplay, presentation, etc.

              Anyway, I doubt it will be a GS game but I do feel it will be excellent and worth covering here and playing.

                Why do you guys doubt it would be a GS3? I mean, GS2 has been rated high on "Best Games Ever" Lists. Everyone I know who has played it has loved it and hasn't given up on a sequal. Some times it takes awhile for a sequal of a game to come back. Plus, Camelot has probably had other projects to work on as well. Another thing could be that they have been trying to perfect GS3 for the Revolution.

                  While it would certainly be a boost I hope it isn't released on the Revolution since I have NO plans to buy one.

                    Once again, I'm just happy to see a Camelot RPG for the Revolution. Good news, thanks for it, Max.

                      If I have strait A's by the end of the school year, my dad is gonna get me one. And seeing as they had a picture of Felix right next to the article, it either means that it's going to be another GS, or they just put the character there because he's from one of their best games.

                        I agree with him. Just because it's been, what? Three years since the last game doesn't mean there won't be one. Clearly you guys don't know how long it takes to make games. MOST decent games take two years and upwards to be created. It depends on the kind of game they're trying to make, how much staff is available, and what resources you're building the game off of.

                        Example:

                        The original Neverwinter Nights took FIVE YEARS to make. However, Neverwinter Nights 2 is taking a little more than two years to make. Why is this? Because the developers made the original Neverwinter Nights right from scratch. The toolset, the engines... all made from scratch. Neverwinter Nights 2 is being built off of roughly the same toolset, engines, and blah, with some minor tweaks here and there being made. (excluding the fact that they've completely made a new graphics engine, the other engines remain mostly untouched <_< )


                        What am I saying? Well, the Revolution is quite different from the GBA. SO... I'm seeing the same thing happening with a GS3 that happened with the original Neverwinter Nights. I'm pretty sure Camelot is making quite a bit of new stuff for the new RPG on the Rev from scratch (though I know nothing of the toolsets that they use).

                          I myself know that it does take a VERY long time to make good games, especialy with limited resources. I've waited a good long time for SSBM to come out. At the time I didn't know what the name was of course, but a while after the first SSB came out for the N64, I suspected that there would be another. And this was 6 or 7 years ago when I first got my N64 when I lived in Florida.

                            Yes, I am pretty sure that this will be a GS game. Not only that the Golden Sun series is popular, and that the name alone would sell quite a few copys of the game, but Camelot also said in an interview I read a long time ago(but after they made TLA) that they love the GS world and characters and that they wanted to make a new game in the series.

                              Well that settles it. It's most likely going to be a new GS game.

                                Yeah I heard this too. Why would Camelot would go through the trouble of thinking up the awesome world of Weyard, it's towns, and it's story just to throw it all away in the end?

                                And the fact that the world of Weyard changes with the power of Alchemy just makes it all the more deep. Makes for a great game and interesting sequels.

                                  Let's try to take this topic in another direction:
                                  Say the unnamed RPG Camelot's making is indeed Golden Sun 3.
                                  How would Camelot apply the Revolution's unique features (i.e. the controller) in the game?
                                  Point-and-click menus?
                                  Or would it be used mainly to add a new dimension puzzles in dungeons?

                                  Any ideas? :wacko:

                                    Well, if GS3 is in real-time, you could use the remote to aim where to cast spells, like in RTS games. :wacko:

                                      WD has a good idea, but I think it'll still be turn based. But aiming at the enemy you want to have the center of attack to be would be awesome. And imagine the graphics!

                                        There's no doubt that the graphics will be absolutely amazing. Judging on how well camelot made it's graphics for GS1 & 2, not to mention all of the reviews I've read about the Revolution. I think you will be able to use the point and click feature in the dungeon and in battle. Who knows, mabey you will be able to use the controller to swing you're sword around.

                                          Yeah I heard this too. Why would Camelot would go through the trouble of thinking up the awesome world of Weyard, it's towns, and it's story just to throw it all away in the end?

                                          That's a good point but games like Final Fantasy change the setting with virtually every game. I think it would be a shame to lose the current setting though.

                                            If the game is going to be a GS3, then there will definitely be a lot of speculation in the GS Forum. Certainly, this is moving Camelot in the right direction and these new next-gen GS games could be great for the company and us :wacko:

                                            Yeah I sooo badly want another GS game I love the series. I've got both games on my Gameboy Micro and the soundtracks to both games but barely the original GS game cause here in New Zealand they don't sell it any more so I was lucky to get the last copy at kmart here. But yeah a new GS game would be awsome and it better have the original GS team. Go Isaac.

                                              I dunno. I think it would take more than, oh... 20 - 30 years in Weyard before something popped up that would make a new game. UNLESS Alex comes back, but I think that would be dumb and anti-climatic. So, the original GS crew has to go.

                                              No way keep both teams in it cause they both rock.

                                                  Instead of thinking up wild theories, lets look at what GS2 actually left us at the end:
                                                  - Isaac has some of the power of the stone of sages
                                                  - Alex is almost infinitely powerful
                                                  - Alex may return and use alchemy to (try to) rule the world.
                                                  - the good guys are responsible for the protection of the world from alchemy and any misuse of it

                                                  hmm, sounds like cliche sequal material to me! We're all set then!

                                                    The game's plot wouldn't have to feature Alex waking up from his dirt nap. :wacko: Camelot can be more creative than that.

                                                    For example, the power of Alchemy was sealed long ago because of the threat it posed to mankind. The beacons are now all lit, and so that same power is unleashed. The next GS may deal with man once again trying to misuse Alchemy for their own profit...

                                                      That would be a good idea as well. I think the way they talked about Alchemy in GS2 suggested that sort of plot for a future game. The characters kept talking about how alchemy was misused before so it could happen again.

                                                        I'm looking for something outside of the cliche. Would it be a bad thing if Alex wasn't even in the game? I don't think so. Like I've said before, there are infinite possibilities for a GS3 and it'll be fun to wait and see.

                                                          Yeah, maybe it would be a cliche to have Alex back, but I'd still want him in the game. Also, I'd like to see all the other characters, but make them CPU's. New characters to control would be great.
                                                          But still, my dream GS3 is where you control Alex and three more evil guys and you have to find Isaac, take the power from him(somehow) and thus rule the world!!! Face it, it would be different and original...

                                                            Or they could do that as an option, or you can play through as Isaac's group. Character development is an option too. They could do a Fable-esque sort of experience.

                                                              I have no idea what you just said. I think it wouldn't be that great of an idea to choose your path in the beginning because that would make itmuch harder to make GS4. If they ever wanted to make one.

                                                                They could milk this series for all it's worth I guess. But GS3 comes before GS4, so we should probably speculate about that now.
