Seriously what is going on with that protagonist? For once id be okay with this being focus-tested to hell resulting in some dark-haired white douche in his 30s.

That he's so out there in design is starting to grow on me a little. The voice from the original trailer is going to be a problem though. I still can't help but laugh and shake my head when he says "I'm off the leash."
 
That boxart is pretty awesome.

IGN's reveal of this game was so awful, whoever they had playing it might as well have been playing blindfolded.

The Nintendo Treehouse presentation was so much better.
 
I've just sort of been baffled by the overall reaction to the game as a whole. An action game by the man who headed (and based on NG3, was heavily responsible for the quality of) NG, NG: B, and NGII? Holy shit, yeah. The graphics are pretty poor, and admittedly that first showing last year wasn't the greatest, but I would think that pedigree would manage to get people pumped up for a new action game from this guy.

The Treehouse presentation was a far better introduction to the game then that horrible IGN presentation. Not just in presentation of the footage but overall conversation.
 
Publishing a random video out of nowhere about the game and announcing an almost stealth release sure sounds encouraging.

People were super keen... before the game was revealed.

Current DOA fans have some place in complaining because 5 really is the best one, though it's kind of weird to completely hate the guy that came up with the series, which saved Tecmo from being bought out (well, saved it from being bought out before they got rid of him.) Then there's that special group of people who didn't understand that his interviewing style was a WWE-style act (and that him and Tekken's Harada are actually friends.) And then you have the "he only made ONE of the greatest games of all time, the rest are not the greatest games of all time" crew, who are obviously not too bright.

I'm not a big fighting game fan, but I enjoyed DOA 3 and 4 myself. Though, yeah, I wouldn't classify them as masterpieces or anything.

That said, NGB is my favorite game of all time, but I'm going into this with zero expectations. NG2 is great but also broke my heart a bit. I can understand why it turned out the way it did and I've grown to appreciate it a lot more, but it was still a big letdown to me. I'm hoping for something fun, but won't be surprised if this is rough. I'm not expecting an evergreen action game that I'll still want to play 10 years from release.

I don't know, I love NGII. I really wish whatever happened with Itagaki and Tecmo would have happened after he got a chance to "Black" it and fix a lot of the flaws (as opposed to Sigma II). But I still think it's a flawed masterpiece.

The video was meant for Japanese audiences. Let's just wait to see if they showcase it at Treehouse. If they don't then they decided to shoot their pooch.

The only thing I wish that Treehouse Live bit spent more time with was actually playing the game instead of front loading it with trailers and slides. Which I still liked, but that game really needed more time spent showing off how the shooting and melee worked together, would have probably helped with reception a bit more.

Yeah, it's really weird. It's almost as if people talk about a game based on what they've seen from it rather than letting themselves feel irrationally excited based on pedigree alone. So strange eh?
 
looks extremely generic/bad.

This looks like a project designed by small team for private no name "game development" institutes...

Very true. I also wish they hadn't waited until the last day to show it off but with it being so far off it made sense to push other games ahead of it.

I just cant deal with it, literally every other character shown in the trailers looks better than this, its not even the hypermasculine stuff that bothers me, its just so uninteresting, uncommitted and generic. Like the game.

I'll never really understand this. Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black, and Ninja Gaiden II were god-tier, easily (the latter was flawed and had some problems, but still at least demi-god tier). The fact that the franchise kind of took a bad nose dive when he left says a lot about how much he contributed to that quality, I think. This idea that his reputation was somehow undeserved is pretty off base.

I don't know, I'm excited for the game anyway. I'm not sure how it is that Itakagi burned up so much good faith of internet goers, but I'll take any kind of action series he's heading.
Click to expand...

Except it's not the only things he ever made. He found a great formula for one franchise and was able to refine it. And that one franchise was great, but the rest of his portfolio didn't scream "god-tier". He never earned a place next to the other developers in the god-tier ranks.
 
This doesn't look very good. I really would've loved to have seen the game that was originally shown, before all the unfortunate development troubles. I'm also hoping Itagaki doesn't go mobile forever.

I mean

the game looks terrible. I mean...terrible.

Pedigree doesn't matter lmao. He made one of my top 10 favorite games of all-time ten years ago, but that doesn't have anything to do with these junk trailers
 
Uhhh, I feel like people haven't been following this game or didn't watch the video linked the OP - judging from the first page comments, at least.

This looks WAAAY improved from what I've previously seen and actually looks like something made by professionals and not the bargain bin trash you'd mistake for being the next Cabela Deer Hunting PS2 game.

Still don't care for it, but that doesn't look bad at all.

Eh, I mean, I guess if you want to compare him to others in the field or whatever, but I think more of developers (and most artists) on their own, and on his own, he created 2(and a 1/3?) god-tier titles. Don't know much about DOA, though, as I said, but I still liked the ones I played.

*Shrug*

Agree to disagree, I guess.

Isn't this what the Last Guardian has been for over half a decade?

This. The game looks improved over what was shown last year. That part is clear. Liking or disliking the art direction is something different.

Here's the original E3 2014 trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yTldFe2m-A

There are a few scenes in that trailer that are now in the new trailer that can be directly compared.

Old trailer: 0:11 compared to 4:37 in the latest trailer.
Old trailer: 0:59 minute mark to 1:03 compared to the 4:39 minute mark that last until the 4:44 minute mark in the new trailer.

Those are the ones that I recognized right away. If anyone can gif those that would be great.

Watching the older trailer from last year shows me I still like the over the top feel and presentation to the game's characters.

To me honestly those two instances you showed just look a bit darker in the new trailer and I'd say it might be worse...

Why do I have the feeling it will release for other consoles and some crappy port house developer will rush it out the door?
Click to expand...

Not a chance. It is pubished by Nintendo and Itagaki says in the video Nintendo helped a lot with the development of the game and polishing it up. This is why I think it will be of good quality gameplay-wise.
 
I'm legitimately looking forward to this game. It won't be the end of the world if I'm disappointed either. I think it has promise. (Plus if I can play and love EDF, the "jankiness" isn't going to bother me too much.)

I hope the NA boxart looks that good.

The MP will die out really fast I think. Wii U can't support it that well.
 
Looks like the team has been working "very" hard on this game since the last time I saw it. It doesn't do anything unique to what was already done so I hope the gameplay is solid. Pity that the game is strictly Wii-U as it seems more perfect for the PS4 and other platforms.
