White Knight Story gets four-player online co-op

by Randy Nelson on Oct 8th 2008 4:30PM

While we await official confirmation of a rumored Dec. 25 release date for Sony and Level-5's top-tier console RPG, White Knight Story, Japan's Dengeki PlayStation reports that the game will feature online co-op for up to four players. As detailed in the magazine's latest issue, the online component will employ a lobby system for match-making, with each room maxing out at 16 players.

Up to four players can then form an adventuring party and tackle quests with the aid of in-game chat. Whether these are online-specific quests – or if the chat is voice-based – is unclear; hopefully we'll get some answers when Tokyo Game Show gets underway tomorrow (late tonight for us in the States).

Take that Too Human!

you are very dumb....
ps3 fanboy alert !!!!!!!!
too human was a fun game to me and fun to play online also. let me guess you havent even played to game yourself.

Take it easy bro. I was just kidding. BTW, I have a PSWii60. No room to be a fanboy.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have Too Human. pwned.

he's talking about the fact that Too Human was originally supposed to support more than two players in co-op

We get fanboy alerts now? (!!!)

How come we trolls didnt get this in our email?
For shame...

Oh and Too Human is mediocre...
:P

I am Loki the God of Cybertron fear my "Pistol's of Odins Wrath"...(Then the Go Bots swoop by blasting bolts of power from they're fists....)

Pffft! *Knee slapping! *

mike- honestly i thought that was another one of those too human comments from someone who read the reviews only and did not play the game.
i was getting tired of the same old too human comments from people that havent played the game.

nom tom troll- i personally enjoyed the gameplay of the game, the story wasnt the reason i played the game. i havent played many action games such as too human, so i was not very judgemental over the entire genre.

Online only co-op or will it have both local co-op and online co-op (ala Halo 3). Too many games nowadays focus on online only co-op 1 per console (ala Duke Nukem 3D on XBLA)

Thats all they needed to say... Im officially interested.

Maybe they can do it at launch, and without the help of post launch patch that you should look past when reviewing it.

Agreed, this feature officially put the game on my radar...

well, this feature and the walrus riding mechanic.

Im with you guys. That feature made this game look a lot more interesting to me. I am very curious how the co-op will work and if its outside of the single player story.

wow online co-op on an RPG game..
that sounds very interesting and fun.

this probably doesnt include split screen though...
but this is cool.

RPG fanboy alert!!! J/K

better believe it...
i did not like them much before, but after playing so many 8 hour shooters and the same games over and over i have greatly taken to the RPG's...

I'm actually right there with you as long as it's an action RPG. I can't stand JRPGs anymore. Can't wait for Fallout 3!!!

*removes glove*

-Snooty french voice- "Ha haw Microsof Zzhapan!" (Japan)

"Ve vill sell undredz of souzands of ze PS-Trois!"

"Patooey!"

Release date please?

also, will co-op be region locked? I'd love to go co-op with some japanese dudes, that'd be great to practive my poor japanese, xDDDD, and teach em spanish, xDDDDDD

How much better can this game get?

Wait, what the hell do you mean whether or not it has voice chat is unclear?

What is this, the Wii?

if they thought that would get me interested, too late. i've had my eye on this for a long time now. i think around the ps3 launch.

Rofl!

I'm getting a little tired of every single game having some kind of multiplayer to appease the brainless ADD halo masses. Games like metal gear and JRPGs should not have any kind of multiplayer, just focus on making a decent single player.

Broad strokes?

thats why sony cancelled some games awhile back though, to focus on online gaming. mgo just didn't spring up there was a version on ps2 and white knight could be fun if certain friends get the game. you can't blame game makers for putting stuff when they get knocked for not having a way to interact with people online.

Already was going to get this game, coop on an RPG? I'll try it but I can't say I am excited for it.

Do you guys not have GF's to play with, err play coop with? Between this WH and a few other future titles a second PS3 is justified in my mind. I mean why buy side crap when I can accidentally another PS3 with my GF at the same time?

Many RPG's have been co-op in the past. Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 3, most of the "Tales" games to the best of my recollection. My curiosity is piqued when they said "go on quests together". Is this online experience going to be similar to Monster Hunter? Sans the item collecting. Or is it going to be more like Secret of Mana online, where everyone is arguing who HAS to play the girl character. Either way, I'm interested. But I know no one with a PS3 that will get this game, so hopefully local multiplayer is in the works.

I expect many people with a PS3 will get this game. If it helps my PSN id is ONIGAUSS. Even though I don't know you irl I hope to see you online sometime.
