To save you from inaccuracy due to annoying online translation engines, here's what we do know for sure about the Action Adventure Fantasy from publisher Sony: Folks Soul for the PlayStation 3 (which was tentatively titled Monster Kingdom, a.k.a. Unknown Realms). First, the game's set to be released in Japan on June 2007. Second, the lead Characters are named Keats and Ellen. Third, the game is developed by Game Republic, the same folks who developed Genji: Days of the Blade.

We also know that the gameplay will somehow incorporate the use of the PlayStation 3's SIXAXIS controls. Famitsu reports that Catching/Grabbing your opponents starts with pressing the R1 button and then tossing them around involves shaking the SIXAXIS around.

Below are some character screens and gameplay images of the said SIXAXIS shaking action.

Running the story description - which is in Japanese - through online translation engines basically just net us garbage, or comedic engrish gold, depending on your point of view. So if you're really keen on finding out more about this game's intricate story, or you're fluent with Japanese, you can just head to the game's official site via our read link below.

We'll update you when more info on Folks Soul is made available, or if there's any word that it'll reach our shores. Stay tuned.

on that last slide check out the HDR on the girls face. Much much better than many other games, and look at the amazing water textures.

riteo... what kind of 'historical-correct' moments will they include in this game?.. giant karate chopping rabbits.. or they still sticking to their crabs again?

 » wha?

it's pure fantasy. Much like halo or Gears you dufus. And to make you aware, this game has many similarities to Kameo. However, it wont suck as hard.
