I didn't mind that on turn based RPGs or sprite based like FE, but on something like that... :/ Is XCOM like that too?

Unless the enemies are in overwatch, then yea.

 

[Busaiku]

is this explicit? if so, and if somehow there will be references, I'd buy millions of copies of this game..!

Yes, the lead artist just said it herself.

 

[Maintenance]

Everyone is taking influence from The Last of Us.

Oooohhhhh.

 

[Amazeballs]

The attack animations are wasted potential. They should have went with comic book style panels to illustrate hitting an enemy or getting hit.

 

[Totakeke]

Hmm, no overhead map may make this game quite hard to plan around unlike most tbs games. Not too sure if that's a good idea.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Damn, I'd still be that happy today.

>_> <_<

Me too XD

 

[DXLelouch153]

so its do you want better gear or do you want to cheat the system

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Really hoping they release this game's OST because it's just SOOO GOOOOOD. Rest of the game looks good too, of course.

That reminds me, I've yet to buy FE:A's...

Intelligent Systems exec: Our extremely Japanese, anime-influenced Fire Emblem: Awakening was a surprise hit in the West. How should we capitalize on its success?

Nintendo exec: Well certainly another turn-based strategy game is in order.

Intelligent Systems: Awakening followup?

Nintendo: Nah, too soon.

Intelligent Systems: Advance Wars?

Nintendo: (laughs)

Intelligent Systems: What, then?

Nintendo: .......

Intelligent Systems: .......

(Both executives' eyes widen, as they look up at each other and scream in unison)

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems: ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND AMERICAN COMICS VS. ALIENS!

Intelligent Systems: With graphics from 2008?

Nintendo: Fuck yes. Clearly that is what our fans in the West want.

 

[Spinluck]

Hm not digging that art style at all, the color palette honestly looks pretty ugly, but the Valkyria Chronicles gameplay looks good. Also they seem pretty confused about Steampunk style, which was more Victorian age, yet they are using 1930s Art Deco fonts....

The font really clashes with it imo.

It works in Bioshock, but here it's.. out of place.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

I feel like theres going to be another reveal at the end of the Treehouse streams

What makes you say that?

 

[KarmaCow]

Yes, the lead artist just said it herself.

Unless I missed something, I don't think she meant the enemies were explicitly Lovecraftian horrors and we'd see Cthulhu pop up, just that it was the inspiration for the designs. They are aliens, not old gods.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I'm so confused at some of the, "HAHA, look at all these people changing their minds, we were right ALL along" post. And the funny thing is I think the game looks really fun.

When I saw the pics last night, I thought it looked a bit on the weird side visually. It has nothing to do with graphic whoring, but I thought games like Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles, and even Advanced Wars have a more distinct memorable look to them. This is a bit on the generic side, and isn't as exciting visually. That is all I'm really saying, I'll probably have this in my 3DS collection day one though lol.

I'm in exactly the same boat, my friend. This game looks great and I'll probably buy it day one but I'm not a huge fan of the visuals.

 

[Suite Pee]

Are they going to give an origin story for the characters? Alternate universe aside, this is around the time of the Emancipation Proclamation. Seems like a Nintendo-affiliated game will have to address slavery in some form.

 

[Sendou]

Nintendo: Fuck yes. Clearly that is what our fans in the West want.

Nintendo just gets it.

That's totally how it went down. There's no way that this is a game the developers over at IS wanted to make this game.

/s if it wasn't already obvious.

 

[dragonlife]

The voice acting, what little I hear of it, makes me a little sad.

Not me. I like it. Sounds fitting.

EDIT: The Fox is Mexican? Haha, awesome!

[DXB-KNIGHT]

When this game becomes a hit series, I'm hyped to see the HD sequel

 

[Aaronrules380]

Well there is a black character

XIII style?

Yeah, I've been thinking that as well =/
Liking the soundtrack though!

 

[Omzz]

More SmashBros 3ds is next

 

[trixx]

what lame game is this?

edit: oh steam looks like fire emblem

 

[Francokid1]

I don't have a problem with the games visuals, but I gotta admit that I prefer the anime / FE:awakening look.

 

[DXLelouch153]

more smash bros hype soon
now unlike splatoon i dont mind looking at that all day

 

[markhimself46]

What a great pic.

This is the best photo. He's the Walt Disney of video games.

 

[Kinsei]

I'd buy prequel comics detailing the back story of the characters.

I, too, prefer my games to not look like something my cat vomited.

[Madouu]

sniper on overwatch op

 

[DXLelouch153]

A Space setting would of been ideal for the game; the art style is off-putting to some and might impact the game sales as a result.

we might still go to space
how else we gonna eliminate the aliens other than killing the final boss

 

[Maintenance]

So, Fox is a mexican. Henry is american. Where are John and Lion from?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Smash Run? Smash Run.

Booooo!!! :/

 

[Axass]

The voice acting, what little I hear of it, makes me a little sad.

Seriously, especially after the awesomefest that was Uprising.

 

[Niraj]

USA!

 

[DXLelouch153]

oh shit alien commander
Boss Battle?

 

[PixyJunket]

Anime fans be salt.

 

[Kinsei]

Please tell me someone screencapped the character select screen. I want a closer look at the other 4 characters.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

So, Fox is a mexican. Henry is american. Where are John and Lion from?

Lion's from Africa, obviously.

 

[KxoZz]

More SmashBros 3ds is next

Ugh...

 

[Kansoku]

The aliens design REALLY clashes with the character design.

 

[Ninjimbo]

The game looks good. Really good. This is probably the best 3D modeling IS has ever done lol.

But... I really do want it. Genuinely.
I love super hero comics, I LOVE Fire Emblem/Advance Wars/XCom and I really like what I've heard of the soundtrack and the character design so far.

Did you hear that? He corrected the interpreter. He knows enough English to know he didn't say it right.
