All you need to know about Folklore - screens and trailer |
Ó
What if there are other worlds other than ours? The possibilities for dreamers are endless and these are explored in a new video game title from SCE Studios Japan and Game Republic called Folklore for the PlayStation 3.
Folklore is an adventure title set in fantasy worlds filled with fairies and creatures of dreams. The dark fantasy (inspired by western fairy tales) starts in a town called Doolin where the two protagonists meet: Keats and Ellen. Keats is a realist but he works as a journalist for an occult magazine (remember the TV series "The Chronicle"?). He gets a mysterious phone call from a woman asking for help. He rushes to the town of Doolin as the woman on the phone managed to say it over the static. Unfortunately when he gets there, he finds that the woman has been murdered.
Ellen on the other hand is dreamer who has an interest in folk stories. One day, she receives a letter from her mother stating that they meet at Doolin. The problem is, Ellen's mother had died when she was a child. The two meet at Doolin and discover that the town is the border between reality and dreams. They have to travel through seven "Netherworlds" to find the answer to the mysteries of their lives.
If the premise of the game's still not enough to interest you, here are the other features included in the game:
- There are seven unique realms, players will travel from the ruins of the Undersea City to the never-ending maze of the Endless Corridor.
- There are over a hundred creatures, characters, and monsters to interact or battle with.
- Using the SIXAXIS wireless controller, the player must battle monsters and literally "shake" them into submission and "yank" their powers from them. The absorbed powers will be used to capture or defeat the monsters that lie ahead.
- Players can choose between playing as Keats or as Ellen. They have different play styles as Keats uses traditional direct attacks while Ellen uses strategic methods to trap her enemies. Decisions made in one story line will directly impact the story path of the other.

I didnt know that the guy who was the producer of Onimusha, DMC & RE was taking a stand for this. This MIGHT be a must have title...
The Advertising for this game was immense and ausome. The game looks great from this AD.
