Bandai Namco still hasn't gotten around to announcing a platform for Tales of Vesperia, the new Tales game that was announced at the Jump Festa event this past weekend. But the company did provide a big hint at the game's new website, which now hosts a first trailer clip.

The trailer is available in 720p resolution, indicating that we're looking at an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 (or possibly both) entry in the series. A look at the cell shaded gameplay footage contained within the trailer all but confirms that this is a next generation entry in the series.

While Bandai Namco did announce that Kousuke Fujishima and Production I.G. would be contributing to the Vesperia Project, the trailer reveals another member of the development staff: Yoshito Higuchi. The director of Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Abyss, Higuchi is serving as producer and chief director on the new game.

Download the trailer for yourself at the Tales of Vesperia official site (click the purple buttons to download the high res version or stream a low res version). Vesperia looks pretty far along, so we're expecting new details, and confirmation of a platform, to follow shortly.
