[Vampyr]

There are a few RPG's on the horizon, namely the new Star Ocean. The DS seems to see a lot of RPG action. I think turn based RPG's just feel dated now days, so you don't see a lot of traditional ones, and I guess non-turn based ones are harder to make. And gamers are really starting to demand more from these games. We don't like it anymore when you equip a new armor and it doesn't change the appearance of your character (Final Fantasy). And I think a lot of the RPG crowd has been absorbed into MMO's, like WoW.

Personally, I have become the kind of person who enjoys instant gratification games more (with a few exceptions, like Pokemon). If I want to read a book, I will read a book. If I want a really in depth RPG that will absorb me totally, I'll play an Iron Realms game. I don't have the patience or time to play long RPG games.

I love action/adventure/platforming games, like Ratchet and Clank, and Castlevania for the DS/GBA, or RPG's in the vein of Kingdom Hearts.
