The play looks to involve the interactions of a couple helping one another through the graphic adventure, with the player participating in those actions by using the touch screen in corresponding ways. With a title like "I Would Die For You", it may include helping them save each other from a series of deadly scenarios like those attacking scorpions. Seems to be built in the dating sim framework and require such strategy in order to succeed.

Whether or not the play turns out novel, the graphical approach and presentation they did for the DS with this game is certainly creative.

 

[aku:jiki]

This game looks hott.

I'm not sure I think it's a dating game. The screens have some kind of life bar (it seems), and what looks to be extra life slots. And one screen has a timer in the upper left corner.

 

[ourumov]

It simply looks awesome...

 

[goodcow]

Another Sonic Team failure in the making...

 

[Smiles and Cries]

whoa... I got to go to bed but ...but what the hell is that

so cool

 

[Miburou]

Who is the man and woman in the pics? The voice actors?

The guy's the director, while the women is the planner.

 

[dark10x]

That looks amazing!

 

[JasoNsider]

Graphically, this game looks amazing. It also seems to be using the DS' cell shading capabilities. The style is great

However, I'm personally skeptical about the actual game part. Same thing goes for titles like Killer 7. Great style, but we need more proof that the game won't be a dating sim or graphic novel.

 

[hirokazu]

by the looks of the heart meter and stuff, it looks like a dating sim of some sort to me, and also it has "Memories" or smthing in the main menu. still, a very odd choice of art style nontheless.

 

[puck1337]

Very pretty. Can't wait for actual gameplay impressions.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

Even if only apparent on a visual level, i'm glad to see DS games breaking the norm early on.

IAWTP

 

[heavy liquid]

Holy cow, does this game look good.

 

[BuddyC]

sold.

 

[evilromero]

This is a good surprise I must say. I love the visual style, which does remind me of UGA's previous titles. Could this be the title "Rub"?

 

[Lord Error]

Wow, this looks awesome. It totally reminds me of Melon Dezign's web site "Different Web".

I just find that
that man on the right hand side responses for the design of Space Channel 5 when he was at UGA

 

[sprsk]

*sniff* it looks like the old sega i used to know and love ;-(

DONT TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS

 

[Saint Cornelius]

I'm intrigued! And I wish I knew how to read the text of those scans! :/

Perhaps they're too busy sitting around, watching DVDs and eating corn chips ever since UGA moved in with their marijuana setup.

Hahahaha

 

[Wario64]

Looks good, just hope there's some interesting gameplay with it

 

[FortNinety]

That shit is hot. I'm expecting another Rez... awesome gameplay that is misunderstood and mislabeled as "simplistic" and only a few hardcore will talk about, driving others to seek the game out way after it's been out of print, and making many eBayers very rich.

I hope it doesn't become another REZ. I think the portable market is the kind of place where these kinds of quirky games can get their time to shine. The DS seems to be getting its fair share of exotic titles already.

 

[shibbs]

No idea whats aait about but it looks pretty good somehow.

 

[Duckhuntdog]

the chick is cute.

 

[Shiggy]

Looks innovative

Hairstyler : the game

 

[brandonnn]

 

[WordofGod]

The DS seems to be getting its fair share of exotic titles already.

I presume these first innovative titles to appear on DS are just a small, small taste of what Revolution games will be like. I am @ a point in my gaming life that I only really want original and innovative titles. I am glad that Nintendo is leading the way into the real future of videogames.

An update on ''I would die for you'' from C & VG.com:

Thursday 9th September 2004

Well, kinda... Sonic Team found to be developing dating game for the Nintendo handheld. Leisure Suit Sonic perhaps?

12:38 Bemoaning a distinct lack of love in the air? Sad that Lara Croft won't be around until next year? Then alas, do not fret oh lonely ones, for Sega's legendary Sonic Team is reportedly working on a totally original dating game from Nintendo DS that could see you cop off with a number of enviable lovelies.

Going under the very French arthouse name of I Would Die For You, this unusual game appears to feature a premise vaguely similar to Leisure Suit Larry. You basically play a young man whose aim in life is to woo the ladies, with a number of tricks and (probably) tacky chat-up lines ("get your coat, you've pulled"; "did it hurt... When you fell from Heaven?" ) available in your quest.

Although the game is definitely set for Japan, Sega of Europe issued the customary "no comment" when asked earlier today whether it was also planned for home territories. Hopefully we'll have some confirmation either way soon, plus a few more gaming details. After all, some of us could really do with a few new tips on the old dating game.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Bloody hell, do C&VG even know what "alas" means?

 

[GDJustin]

I have no idea what's going on right now.

 

[AssMan]

Killer 7-2ating Sims

 

[ImNotLikeThem]

I have no idea what's going on right now.

thats an Ipod advertisement, not a screen for the game. hehe

 

[Jumpman Jr.]

Think this would be released in the States?

This is so fucking retarded. C&VG didn't even READ this article. If they had they would have learned that the developer clearly states that the game will be extremly light on dialogue (text or spoken). God, they'll print anything. I'm surprised they even got the name of the game right.

 

[human5892]

tacky chat-up lines ("get your coat, you've pulled"

I don't understand that.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Intriguing. This must be the first game ever that's made entirely out of Chemical Brothers album covers. I have no idea what's going on, but I'm interested.

 

[shuri]

Come on guys. Let's not get over excited. I find it hilarious/sad that some of you guys are praising Nintendo/Sega for such an innovative title.

Facts:
WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW WHAT IS THE GAME TRUELY IS ABOUT
WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT ACTUALLY PLAYS

Lay off the innovative pipe for gods sake. It looks interesting, the graphics are intriguing, but let's not go crazy

edit: OH FUCK IT -- THIS IS THE REBIRTH OF 2D GAMING! GAMING IS SAVED! PRAISE TO <INSERT DEITY> THIS JAPANESE VIDEOGAME HAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE MY INTEREST IN VIDEOGAMES :rolleyes

 

[seismologist]

It looks like a game you you control with the stylus. I dont see any main character on the screen.

 

[neptunes]

yeah, IGN stated that the d-pad is never used.

For most Nintendo/Sega fans, the act of picking up chicks is innovative.

 

[sprsk]

fuck innovation im just glad its not samurai jack or another bad sonic game.

 

[seismologist]

I like the idea of using a stylus for gameplay, it's alot more intuitive. No more cursors. Yay!

 

[krypt0nian]

ROCK! Rez has a successor!

Go SonicTeam!

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Is this being shown at TGS? When is TGS?????

 

[jarrod]

Refreshing.... UGA lives on.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Let me guess: The official unveiling of "Project Rub".

Let me guess: The official unveiling of "Project Rub".

I don't think so actually, Project Rub is coming from Naka himself afaik. It's somehow related to the Sonic E3 demo (which wasn't Sonic DS btw, which will be a traditional platformer). :/

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Well if it is, it's got a nice pun going. Love = "rub" in Japanese pronunciation.

 

[nitewulf]

austin approved!

 

[mightynine]

So do I like scratch her armpit or something?
