op_ivy, sometimes during the 2005. I've heard June 2005 being mentioned for the Japanese release.

It's just... so beautiful. It's beyond words. I'm gonna faint when the first video trailers rolls out.

Yeah, and sadly too. US version was definitely half assed compared to the ones released elsewhere. Well, at least the actual game was pretty much intact, it's just the bonus stuff that was completely left out of US version. I just hope that by now they have realized the US was at least equally important market for the game, and will treat it as such.
It is, but it took them around 4 years to make Ico, and here it's about the same.

Same team, new game.
From what I remember from a topic long ago, the reason you can't post scans from American/European mags is that various GAF people work or rather could potentially work for the various mags, so they don't want scans to potentially piss off future employers. Not to mention a chance of potentially getting sued. For Famitsu, etc. none or practically none of the GAF will ever work for them, and the chances of Enterbrain finding out about it and suing is small, so copyrights can be ignored in those cases. In other words, it's not about copyright laws or anything, just about convience.neo2046 said:
As for the scans, they look great.
And why does Matlock have to rain on the parade? Lord Error

Haven't seen anyone so persistent since the days when Rasputin/Duke Raoul actually gave a crap about posting on the gaming board.

this is going to be the best looking game ever
I totally agree. Ico ans Wanda are proof that art direction >>>>>> graphics poWaR!
I am afraid that next gen we will be flooded with games full of shiny plastic characters and environments, if the demos are any indication. Thank god there will always be people like Ueda that will use the technology to make truely beautiful works of art.

Game of the fucking century. I want this more than Zelda.

I have to admit to this as well. And it's because of the concept alone. Scaling these huge creatures to exploit weakness... it's like a flea simulator.
And I actually thought about this type of gameplay before, when a large section of God of War was described as taking place on the back of a giant who is crawling through a desert.
Wildly imaginative gameplay and awe inspiring visuals = sale.
It's a new 2D Zelda from Capcom, the dual world mechanic this time involves shrinking/growing Link... looks excellent. Nice art too, here's the JP website.dark10x said:

Wow, now that you've mentioned it, I remember. Hell knows how these two teams came to such a simillar idea. It's supposed to be one level in God of War, or something like that, though, and I'm not sure what you are supposed to do while you are on that monster, but I remember him describing that you have to catch up, and climb onto a gigantic monster.

Simply amazing art, the huge giants, the outdoors, the lighting, everything is so surreal and yet what you would expect from such a weird universe.
Indeed, the majority of devs, especially western ones are heading straight to bump & normal map madness, it might be a showcase of amazing technology and approach CG look, but imo, its not gonna beat a good modeller with plain old polygons and textures, art has a lot to do with it too and sadly, devs who go the bump mapping madness route typically dont give a shit about art.

I think the strength of ICO (and seeminly Wanda) is that it revels in its otherworldly vibe and uses it to the fullest extent to bring its art to forefront. The problem with most of the next-gen western stuff I've seen (mainly the next-gen PC FPS games, with which I'll include Doom3) is that it's mainly tech without making it look natural.
However, if the new Unreal demos were any indication it looks like they've finally got the models having that "lived in" look that Doom3 lacks IMO.
I sort of hope Wanda doesn't use that "low res" whatever mode that ICO did and that it's ethereal without having that kind of washed out look of the original game.

They pretty much have a factory-sealed copy of every game you can't find. They have Ico for 20 dollars:

Ico started out as a PS1 title though, so here's hoping that WATC is going to be a much longer game than Ico.
And I get a very Panzer Dragoon vibe from the scans. Atleast the first one, not a big fan of the artwork in the Xbox PD.
