I'm a huge berserk fan and I would love to see this get released.

Anyone else here feel the same way? Wink

This is a petition for High Moon Studios (previously Sammy Studios during the production of the PS2 game Berserk) to translate and reformat the PS2 game Berserk and then sell to US consumers. This game was released in Japan on October 7, 2004 with extremely good sales. Since then, High Moon Studios/Sammy Studios has been sitting on this game, refusing to translate, reformat, subtitle (or dubb if necessary) and sell it in the US.

The Berserk comic book and animated series (which the PS2 game follows), is an epic story, which can only be described as Shakespearian. The series takes place in a medieval setting and follows two individuals: Griffith; the charismatic leader of the Band of the Hawk, and Guts; A swordsman of incredible skills, who joins the Hawks, but later seeks revenge against Griffith due to his betrayal. The game takes place after the animated series "Berserk" and follows the story almost exactly as in the comic book, which is at volume 30 and still being made to this very day.

A previous game "Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage" was made for the Dreamcast, but made poor sales due to the fact it was made for dreamcast and gameplay was buggy. Nevertheless, it still had decent reviews and was an overall good game.

The new Berserk game for the PS2 has shown itself to be nothing but the epitome of excellence. I ask anyone and everyone who has seen the series, read the comic books or is even remotely interested in a great action game with an incredible story to sign this petition. Do not let this game slip through the cracks. It's all up to us now. Let's make them give us this game.

I watched the video of the gameplay and it looks pretty cool the character models look a bit strange (especially the faces) but Ill still sign the petition....or be a part of it..

I have heard many different stories on this. I have heard that it will not be relased here, that they are planning on releasing it, and that they are right now looking for the english voice actors. I have about 18 trailers for this game, and defintatly signed the petition the only thing is that I don't really have trust of on line petitions working. It might, and I hope they do bring the game here, but if worse comes to worse, I buy a japanese PS2 or mod chip and then the game, and have a translator telling me eveything that is going on. But hopfully they will bring the game to the US.

I contacted Sammy or I guess I should say not High Moon Studios, and asked about the games release. Whether they contact me back or not and if they even know anything is a completly other story. I'll post here if they do. Here is their web site http://www.highmoonstudios.com/redirect.html
