What the FUCK is The Legend of Kay

I believe it's an action-platformer starring a cat...

 

[jiggle]

Magna Carta with the glossy paperstock of Play = buy

What the FUCK is The Legend of Kay

From the fine folks that brought you:

Game Boy Advance
Graffiti Tournament: Skate & Style
Santa Claus Jr.

Game Boy Color
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
Graffiti Tournament: Skate & Style

A game for the centuries!

 

[Speevy]

The Xbox is the one with no games? Ah, how the tables have turned!

 

[Sinatar]

I know they say don't judge a book by its cover... but christ that looks stupid.

 

[Culex]

There's no way in HELL Dungeon Siege 2 scored higher than Radiata Stories.

...not possible :lol

 

[krypt0nian]

It's good, idiots.

 

[Kumiko Nikaido]

What the FUCK is The Legend of Kay

It's a 3D platformer where you play a feline going against other animals. Bathed in Chinese mystique with a neo-Asian soundtrack, it was developed by Neon Studios, and it's published by Capcom.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

haha, Play's platformer mania continues.

[Prince of Space]

I cannot wait to see Play's score for Neopets PS2.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

It's Halverson, it's a plaformer. It's gets amazontron scores. Nothing new here

Edit: Can you imagine the amount of restaint Dave had to have to give that game a 9 and Sonic an 8.5?

 

[krypt0nian]

After watching the vids on the Kay site, it looks like a generic Starfox Adventures with good animation.

 

[Beowvlf]

Magna Carta has some absolutely stunning art; I'm all over this title come November.

Atlus is releasing a double box set of the game too, check out the box art!

See the awesome character designs at the official Korean website:

http://www.magnacarta.co.kr/

Or view more work from uber-popular artist Hyung-tae Kim, who did all the character designs, at these two sites:

[Mr_Furious]

Every fucking month I swear

 

[Speevy]

I'm lazy. What is Magna Carta and why should I want it? Keep in mind I just bought a PS2, so please don't use other PS2 games to describe it.

 

[keeblerdrow]

With that screenshot, I'm mashing "Triangle" right now.

 

[Beowvlf]

Supposedly this issue of Play states that Atlus' deluxe box set of Magna Carta includes a 100-page, full color artbook of Hyung-tae Kim's work on the game.

DROOL!!! Pre-order +1

magnacarta... strategy rpg? I don't know shit about it but I'm interested just because it has Atlus on the box-art.

 

[mr_sockochris]

You know that thread we had earlier about 'bad art'? Well....

 

[Mupepe]

Wow, that list makes it official that this month sucks

I skimmed the article and Atlus's site and didn't see it; (was it somewhere else in the mag?) Anyways, the art doesn't *click* with me, so that doesn't faze me. The battle system and the Tauren-looking enemy race have me interested, though.

 

[chaostrophy]

Now here's something that's more worthy of a 9...

 

[Beowvlf]

For anyone interested in Magna Carta, this is probably the best English language preview so far:
