Love your fighting games fantasy style? PSN/PS3 might have just the ticket for you later this year.
Dark Awake, created by Korean developer Eolith, is a 2D sprite-based fighter that is said to be Taito’s 2004 Chaos Breaker game operating under its pre-release title. It is believed that developer Recom acquired rights to the game, so the name was changed to accomodate its new home.
Including a 22-strong cast consisting of various trolls, barbarians and dwarves guaranteed tough enough to strike fear into the hearts of any joystick warrior, a number of offline and online game types and full Trophy support, this one sounds pretty intense, if early reports are to be believed. There’s a shortage of classic fighting games for the PS3 platform, so we like this one.
Dark Awake will arrive on the Japanese PSN in a few months or so, and it will be priced at ¥2000 or so. According to rumors, the US and European releases schedules are still to be confirmed, but we’re thinking early Winter.
For most of today, Sony’s PlayStation Network has been turning away users of older PS3 consoles with ‘8001050F’ error codes, which is normally not a good thing. This error locks users out of the PSN, and can in some cases corrupt trophy data and paid DLC content, which would make those users quite angry, needless to say. All of this can cause random game lockups, among other symptoms.
