...announced.
It's for the PS3 and looks exactly the same. Some might wonder why it's not on PS2 to lower costs and sell more. Due in 2008.

What do you do in these games?

Tactical RPG. Playing fields a grid, you get up to 8 characters to fight (characters you meet or ones you make). Everyone gets to move so many spaces and either fight, use4 an item or pick up a character to throw. The game specializes in stylish looking attacks. Nippon Ichi's tactical RPGs are made for the hardcore, you can play the story and be done(I do that) or go on with the side quests that can take hundreds of hours to grind. You can beat the level at level 100 or so. The max level in the game is 9999. That's how hardcore the game is.
Now this is a VERY basic way of telling it. There's so much like the Dark Assembly or the Item World, where you level up your items by clearing its Item God.
UPDATE: This story came from Gamesarefun.com. After reading all the comments that people left(and the dumb fights that break out after a few posts), I actually thought of a reason about the decision of being on the PS3. This was my idea on the site:
"I think the issue isn't why is this on the PS3. I mean, look at the game and you must ask, "Why cannot this be on the PS2, why alienate Disgaea fans to buy a PSP for the remake of the first and now a PS3 for the third?"
Disgaea on PSP makes more sense the more I hear it, no matter how much I hate the idea. The big thing is multiplayer, wireless easy multiplayer, mix that with the similar horsepower of the PSP compared to PS2 for a relative easy port(unlike a, let's say, Wii or DS port)
I believe Nippon Ichi isn't just ready to blow money on development costs just to be on a next-gen system. And they aren't doing this to piss us off. There has to be a surprise, a true reason this must be on the PlayStation 3.
My personal theory is that they need the Blu-Ray space for something. If the first Disgaea can fit on one UMD, which is roughly 1.5 GB, then Disgaea 3 can't take up more than 4GB. That leaves an astounding 46GB left. Perhaps they want to do something that all these next gen RPG's can't do due to their ultimate graphics like White Knight or FFXIII.
Like a crapload of anime cutscenes. These things eat memory space and know Nippon Ichi has that space. Let's hope they abandon the still pictures with scrolling text during the scenes and replace them with anime cutscenes."

In some way, yea prob. but it might be like the second where someone else stars it with the others as cameos. Of course in Disgaea 2, all the Nippon Ichi Overlords were there, Zetta (Makai Kingdom), Priere (LaPucelle Tactics), Laharl (Disgaea), Marjoly (Rhapsody). No Pram or Micky (Or I should say Dark Lord Valvoga) though.
In unrelated but related news, Disgaea for PSP is coming in October as Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.

That may be a PSP game I really want to get, it sound like a good portable game.
