I love that the explosive attack actually knocked back the enemies. That's going to open up some fun tactics.

 

[Maintenance]

Fuck, can't believe I lost codename STEAM. Damnit.

 

[Volotaire]

There is so many aspects of inspiration of other strategy games in this. Battlion Wars, Valkyria Chronicles, XCOM, FE/AW, and then the Freedom Force aesthetic. I'm hyped.

 

[CoconutTank]

Hoho! Nintendo XCOM! SRPGish but I've warmed up much more to it now

 

[Kansoku]

Looks much better in motion, as expected, but I'm still not sold on the art style and on the colour palette.

Same. The lightning is pretty odd too.

 

[Busaiku]

The portraits are so off-putting.

 

[Finalow]

this game doesn't look bad at all.

You can't compliment people doing their job?

sure but I don't quite see how they're being "awesome" with the translations.

 

[jj984jj]

This is so cool, it reminds me so much of X-Com.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Okay yeah, officially past my creepy threshold. Dead joke now.

 

[luoapp]

no overhead map?

 

[Totakeke]

Why would she have the female rifler jump down from high ground.

 

[Fey]

ehh looks better in motion, but still not a fan of the whole art style/aesthetics of the game, and i'm not really in the mood for this kinda game right now on 3DS (though that could change by the time of its release, who knows) :/

 

[Laevateinn]

I thought Splatoon was going to be my favorite game this year but this Valkyria clone completely blows it away.

 

[Qurupeke]

Gameplay looks quite interesting though.

 

[Yazoo91]

I'm so buying this, looks great. Treehouse has sold me on nearly every game they've shown. Well played Nintendo!

 

[random25]

Surely getting this. IntSys really delivers in SRPG department!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

What a great pic.

 

[Warrior_Keoni]

I really enjoy the comic book style of the characters.

 

[Kaljinyu]

That knee jerk reaction was ridiculous last night, everyone enjoying their crow?

Still not sold on the graphics. I don't know if that's intentional for the art style, but the models look unfinished. It's not enough to stop me from buying the game, but it's still noticeable.

 

[ShadowElliot]

What?! You can use steam during the enemy's turn to attack them?!

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Come on more playing less yacking

 

[KarmaCow]

It's pretty cool that the Int Sys guys are so into TBS games.

 

[Makonero]

You have no soul. My favorite games of the past few years have been strategy games. I could live my life with only Intelligent Systems and Firaxis games.

You get some good Paper Mario that way too.

Spoiler

And I'm including Sticker Star, because I'm really enjoying it right now.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I love turn based strategy games!

steam punk Xcom folks!

looks fucking awesome.

 

[Wyndstryker]

What?! You can use steam during the enemy's turn to attack them?!

If you don't use up your steam on your turn, if you have enough steam to attack you'll autoattack when an enemy gets in range.

Thats what I got from it anyways

 

[Kissenkopf]

What a great pic.

Man this is awesome!! I will miss him so much when he retires...

 

[Razlo]

I thought Splatoon was going to be my favorite game this year but this Valkyria clone completely blows it away.

Yeah this is my favorite Nintendo made game at E3 this year.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

OMG, you're really doing a disservice of using such a bad picture of her. She's really pretty but this looks like one of those pictures when you take a person off-guard.

I know.
The camera is usually so far away though, and this was one of the only frames I found where she was sorta smiling.

 

[lt519]

Still not sold on the graphics. I don't know if that's intentional for the art style, but the models look unfinished. It's not enough to stop me from buying the game, but it's still noticeable.

It's slated for 2015, I'm sure they'll be cleaning and touching it up quite a bit. It's not perfect, but the massive gross reaction last night was hysterical.

 

[SirBukkake]

So, is crow gamey? Should I eat it with Sriracha?

That comic bookish intro/look is really well done in motion.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Lion is so fucking cool.

 

[daydream]

That Miyamoto pic is great. <3

The portraits are so off-putting.

Hm why? The artstyle in those portraits reminds me of something. Maybe a mix of Daigasso and Steamworld Dig?

 

[Riposte]

Hmm, I'm hoping enemies are more aggressive than normally. Movement seems to be a bit free.

 

[Japanmanx3]

What a great pic.

Man. The joy. Feels.

 

[CoconutTank]

Okay they outright said "overwatch attack", out of curiosity is overwatch a common trope/mechanic in SRPGs or is it normally more related to XCOM?

 

[GeeDuhb]

Game looks cool but I'm not one for strategy games.

Me either, but the crazy thing is, they seem to have been completely right about what they said during the round table last night. Maybe it is the overhead view that kills it for me, but drop down into third person view and let the player do things in real time makes this look really appealing!

 

[KarmaCow]

It's interesting that you can actually pick up stuff and then double back to move somewhere else without losing those items you picked up.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

What a great pic.

<3

 

[lt519]

They just called it Overwatch, isn't that what XCOM called it?

 

[deleted]

The presentation is so slow - play and explain on the fly, don't over explain and translate and then do something...

The game also looks a bit mushy - it's a style choice, but it's not one I'm overly fond of. Reminds me of a third person Freedom Force. The gameplay itself looks nice though.

Also the music is barely coming through with the whole background noise, it's exhausting listening to it and the presentation this way.

 

[Orniletter]

What a great pic.

Please be Reggie Jr.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

What a great pic.

Cool
I know I'll be that happy if I met Mario creator back in the day

[ricardokenshin]

overwatch: straight out of 40k

 

[JetBlackPanda]

They just called it Overwatch, isn't that what XCOM called it?

Yeah, he even kind of joked about "overwatch" in other games.. gee wonder what game's he is talking about? its in a few.

 

[thesaucetastic]

The music, the gameplay... sold

 

[Jagsrock]

I like this, I like this a lot.

 

[Santiako]

Okay they outright said "overwatch attack", out of curiosity is overwatch a common trope/mechanic in SRPGs or is it normally more related to XCOM?

It's a staple of every/most tabletop strategy game.

 

[MThanded]

So you gain steam back by moving back to where you were but you can still pick up items while you are moving even if you don't commit?

Where is the risk in moving then?


Cant i always move to the edge of my range in all directions and then collect items and them commit to the place i want to move.

 

[Volotaire]

Yes overwatch!
