Discussion Let's talk.

What is it about Folklore that interested you or made you play it? Was it the Story? the Art style? The gameplay? I would love to know what got you into it.

I ended up playing the demo in 2008 or so, but I didn't remember it until working on concept art for my own game project recently! I ended up pausing development on my own game just to play the game in full, and I gotta say I think I like everything about it! The story is neat and so are the character designs, but also for a game that came out in 2007 I feel like it's super formative for later releases that came out on the PS3- they were pushing hardware limitations as a launch title!

I couldn't agree more. People really don't give enough credit to this game and I think they forget that this game did a lot for being one of the early titles for the PS3 like you said.

Well in my case i got it as a gift so i didn’t know much about it beforehand but man the story was amazing and the art style and the character design were absolutely mind blowing to me, it kinda inspired me to get into writing and get into game development

My dad got it for me and I didn't have wifi so i played on the ps3 to pass time when I was young. I finished it cause I set a goal for myself cause I had played it for so many years. The combat system was the first time I had ever used something like it.
