Move's longest adventure yet?

Natsume has confirmed its PS3 version of Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (formerly Rune Factory: Oceans) will be fully playable at E3 next week. While little new information was given in the announcement, we expect to see a multitude of screenshots, videos and hands-on reports during E3's run from 7th to 9th June. The...

Land, hoe!

As we rumoured last week, North American publisher Natsume has just confirmed the latest RPG off-shoot from the Harvest Moon franchise will be coming to the region later this year. The newly named Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (formerly Rune Factory: Oceans) was announced over at Siliconera

Natsume's bringing lots of titles to E3, but one of those games is yet to be announced

When prompted for changes he responded:First and foremost there is going to be a trophy system, which wasn’t in the Asian release or Japanese release. There have been other suggestions from us and other..
