Impressive but come on, games like HS, Uncharted, and Mass Effect aren't too far behind (if at all) in the character department.

But we really need to see this puppy in motion. When will that happen, another 6 months???

Uncharted and ME are technically impressive but this baby is beautiful. In 6 months we will all be play the demo, it has to be a demo in motion.

Most badass looking character since Squall.

Lightning and 33 cm look cool too, but in another way.
I agree, dark themed protagonists are awesome. Yuri from Shadow Hearts <3

Newer videos showed a very different game in terms of interaction and animation. That video was probably all scripted. WKS really has nothing going for it now.

Hopefully all this time spent not showing the game, level 5 is trying to make the game like this.
 
Hah, I just noticed that these are REAL gameplay models:

Going by the hideos quadrangular neckrings on Nomchan, compared to this

Nice response. I guess when you can't debate opinions you pretend you can't read,
it is not that. Just I am baffled at the idea of Squall as badass so I proposed Vossler. Then by your second response it seemed that you counted badass just by having a realistic outfit, nothing based around character attitude or dialogue just clothing. So after that I said, shit I could dress up for you and you would think of me as badass. Than you start blabbing on about bitches in armor and something so I just give a equal response. That is pretty much all really.

Not XIII, but the vid I posted.
yeah that is what he means. FFXIII has a budget out of the reach of someone like Level 5. So it is nearly impossible unless they get Sony to fit most of the economic support.

Nice find, you can kinda tell from her hair as well.

This could very well be demo scenes.
 
I'm pretty sure the watery-shot is a concept art.

Looks good tho, I really like the rendering of the characters.

EDIT: 100% sure it is a concept.

Obviously i was talking about visual design since i said "Most badass looking". For all i know PRince might be a cry baby, who knows.

I like the asthetics, in squall i like his clothes, the jacket, the black/white countrast, his scar, the hair, even the neckless.

I wasn't talking about persona.

Really nice textures on the clothing. That will make things easy on the cosplayers :lol
 
These are looking amazing, and I'm glad there are some in-game shots out of the woodwork now.

Too bad these games come out possibly in 2010.

It's like they're walking on a fucking painting. If it wasn't for the dof effect I wouldn't believe it was realtime.

That shot is NOT REALTIME people, it is a concept art.

I'm 100% sure. You can tell by the sharpness of the textures, the lack of tiling, and the perfect silhouettes showing no signs of polygons.

Versus looks awesome.

And do people really think WKC the way it is currently, holds a candle to FFXIII?

Wow, that's some shenmue level shit.

Anyway, i think that Infinite Undiscovery is the game that most resembles WKC artwise, and that one looks better than what i remember from WKC. But WKC hasn't been shown in a long time.

A very very long time! It's pissing me off, they better show something a TGS or I will be even more pissed off.

it looks 100% realtime. The characters look taped on the picture but so is half of the map. The big crystal spur next to Mr. 33 is an example of that. It just looks pasted on. The machine matches the detail of other real-time in-game pictures so this is easily all real-time non concept art game footage.
 
Awesome!! Now where my HD trailer Squarenix!!!

And why is everyone bashing WKC? Wait till TGS to pass judgment I say...

Looks like 3d characters on a 2d matte panting/prerendered background.

Err everything you mentioned points to the idea that it's not real-time:p

Actually, I am kind of happy WKC fell through because this will give Valkyria it's time in the sun.

If PS3 fans really want a Japanese RPG, they will buy Valkyria Chronicles. What other choice do they have? Eternal Sonata :lol

Yeah at best it is a cam-frozen shot that happens in the game where they animated 2D planes and such, or maybe the whole scene is "frozen" to begin with so they can get away with it. But whatever those splashes are, the ice, etc., it's all 2D.

Well for sure I will be buy that game and that reminds me I need to buy the new Disgea as well.

? Copy and pasting objects that stand out much more than average are a sign of realtime. Lack of detailed characters also.

If you are talking about the detail in the crystals then sure they are painted on. I mean they used tricks like that in FFXI all the time for wrinkles and shadows on clothes.

Look like real-time to me, looks supawesomegood because the shot is taken from afar. Besides, the background is all static, crystalized water or something, it's not doing anything complex. It looks great because the art design is awesome. Also, *points to previous post*

As a game? We're not. I'm still excited about it.

It's a graphics thread, and someone went and posted a prototype of WKC running on the PS2 for laughs.

i know this because i have seen a lot of textures in my day

What the heck are you talking about? I lost you.

The whole image looks like it is in 2D, except that machine thing that could be 3D, but all that ice stuff looks like a matte painting, which means a bunch of 2D objects/planes superposed, which means you won't see any major camera movement for such a shot because it would reveal the scene as being 2D.

Anyway.
 
Jax said:
this game does make LOST ODYSSEY look like it was done in a different generation.

No.
Different engine, Yeah. Different generation? Looks like you havent played the game and only seen screenshots and low res video. The game looks spectacular at times.
 
What will make or break the graphics on this game will be the animation. If all those accesories and trinkets they wear are static and don't move appropriately with the characters' movement that will be some serious fail.

Seems like this etherdouche has me on ignore, lulz.

i was just saying that everything is realtime 3D with 2D layered over it to add detail.

I also found Seth to be extremely attractive in certain situations.

That game better deliver. Sony ninjas better be on their way to Japan figuring out how to optimize the hell out that engine to look as good as Star Ocean atleast.

You can be certain it will move. And why call me a douche? Chill the fuck out.
