visual style is ok.. granted I am enough of a comic nerd to have built up kirby x mignola way too much in my head. still will reserve judgment until I see it on treehouse. to say that I am extremely curious is an understatement. kudos to nintendo for bringing something in from completely left field.

 

[Pappasman]

Looks close to a DS game, and not in a good way imo.

this is the first time I have seen someone make that claim and it wasn't hyperbole. wow this style just does not look good at all.

 

[Kaljinyu]

Because this was a Japanese-developed RPG, for some reason I pictures the four characters standing on a field of grass in my imagination.

These screenshots give me a Steel Diver vibe, if you can believe it.

 

[Kansoku]

I...ermm... I'll wait for the video.

 

[Blizzard]

Oh shoot. Atlus huh. Not IS. Hype deflated only slightly and by slightly I mean like 25%. How is it nobody at the closed door event passed out or spontaneously combusted?

What's the source on this? I don't see any mention of Atlus on the Polygon blog.

 

[Elfforkusu]

welp

:lol

It's great. It's a 3DS game, graphics are not going to be super amazing. Super hilarious is good enough.

 

[one_kill]

It looks alright

 

[Mortemis]

Guys 3DS games don't usually look good in screenshots. Just be patient for tomorrow.

I like the idea of a bear grenade though.

 

[ionitron]

Really digging the character designs. I saw that it said American comic book influence, but I didn't see it being this heavily inspired at all.

Michael "TYP" Cole: Q: similarities to valk. Chronicles. Was the team influenced by that game?

Michael "TYP" Cole: A: yes, the lead developer likes that game. But it wasn't an inspiration. That game is a trafitional strategy game, and players rely on the overhead map/view. Not really a shooter. Nintendo & IS wanted the shooter like gameplay to be integral and not a facade.

 

[Amazeballs]

Looks like a higher res DS game. Is this the same style as their inspiration material?

 

[Jade Knight 08]

have they revealed their second game yet?

1. STEAM
2. ???

 

[Deadpool_X]

Pokemon has been confirmed in numerous games to take place in the "real world" (mentioning real world countries, etc)

StarTropics...Mike was from the US.

 

[Gartooth]

Here's Lion.

 

[Riposte]

Why did I think there would be a guy with a lion face in your party lol.

EDIT: nvm awesome

 

[Velcro Fly]

Ok I love the look. Want to see it in motion tomorrow.

Uh.

 

[-Horizon-]

I need a video, screenshots aren't doing it for me.

 

[Divvy]

BEAR GRENADE

 

[Not]

Looked better in my imagination lol. Time to adjust...
EDIT:

Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace, of course

 

[scy]

1st screenshots don't look too hot but hey it's better than Awakening models lol.

Need gameplay vid.

Depends.

Do they have feet?

 

[Spinluck]

Why people would look at screenshots of a 3DS game I will never know.

Smash look amazing on 3DS. So do a number of other games.

Hopefully the animation and presentation is out of the park, because the pics look ugly and uninspired.

 

[Teknoman]

welp i was only half kidding before, but after the screenshots, i am REALLY not impressed goodbye nintendo

Eh i'm waiting to see it in motion.

 

[dragonlife]

I wasn't expecting it to be so colorful for some reason.

 

[Omzz]

hahaha people jumping ship on early screens. chill the fuck out

 

[blankempathy]

welp i was only half kidding before, but after the screenshots, i am REALLY not impressed goodbye nintendo

I cant help feel like you were hoping for some other announcement.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

So lion guy wasn't an actual lion but might have a lion tail?

There's more than 4 characters. They're not using the lion guy in that screenshot.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

have they revealed their second game yet?

1. STEAM
2. ???

What second game? there is no second game.

 

[Ashodin]

I'm digging the game. I can see how it will work out in my head too. Awesome!

 

[eliochip]

Its a 3DS screen guys. They always look like shit. Wait for a video. Even then, ALBW looked way better in person than it did in videos.

ALBW was 60 FPS right? Doubt this will be

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Here's Lion.

Okay, that's better.

 

[thecouncil]

Ew, guys. Those screens actually made me just throw up into my trashcan.

 

[daripad]

Yes, graphically looks like steampunk EBA style

 

[Axass]

Screenshots look kind of horrible (holy shit, my imagination works well, I had great things in mind, lol). Will wait for a video before passing judgement on the graphics.

 

[daydream]

Its a 3DS screen guys. They always look like shit. Wait for a video. Even then, ALBW looked way better in person than it did in videos.

Quoting because not enough people know this.

You can sort of discuss the style, but the visual fidelity of Nintendo games never comes through in screens.

 

[Linkyn]

Going for those teases...

 

[Loco4Coco]

What were people actually expecting it to look like? Something that would run on a PC?

Gameplay will probably be top notch.

 

[Conrad Link]

GIVE US NEW GAMES FFS

WTF IS THIS SHIT WE WANTED MAJORA'S MASK

 

[Soph]

New FE and AW teased

 

[Madn]

Talking about next AW!

Every time someone gets called out about game similarities, it's somehow never an inspiration.

 

[spyroflame0487]

Is no one gonna ask where the hell the Lion is coming from?

 

[10k]

Project steam is the secret game instead of Majoras mask? Slightly disappointed but I will give this game a shot.

 

[Ashodin]

Here we go!!

Megan just asked about SMT X FE

 

[Uncle Rupee]

This is why you don't do a non-stream of a new IP.
My imagination envisioned something much better looking.
Had they just shown it from the get-go we wouldn't have these expectations.

 

[Omzz]

SOMEONE ASKED ABT SMT FE

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Smash look amazing on 3DS. So do a number of other games.

Yeah those games look amazing in motion, not so much still in a screenshot. I haven't seen a screenshot yet of a 3DS game that looked magnificent.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Alright, someone asked about Advance Wars, now we need someone to ask about Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem!

EDIT: HOLY SHIT ON SCHEDULE I LOVE THE PEOPLE IN THIS Q&A HUG ME!

 

[catmario]

7:08:34 PM PDT They oooohed!

lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

Screenshots of the game

evocative of Irrational Games' Freedom Force aesthetically.
