(BTW this link also says Koei announced the film version of Ni-Oh was canceled)

I'm not surprised the movie was canceled. Looking at the game I'd imagine Kurosawa would turn in his grave, rise and haunt his son and koei till they die. Ahem. Anyway, this racer is pertty intersting news. Koei never made any racers did they?

Oh, and many thanks one for the constant information feed, makes my life and I'm sure everyone else's much easier. Thank you.

Not at all
The game looks very F-Zero with the car design

According to this article it gets assist of SCE for physics implementation. Physics plays a big part in game play, like throwing destructable objects onto other hoverships, and using a hook weapon to turn around, etc.

Oh, so this is gonna be a Koei Canada game... actually, I didn't even know Koei had a Canadian branch. Sounds interesting though, a sort of wipeout with realtime physics. I do wonder how they'll play a role though, that is more of a role than what we've normally coome to expect.

I can see us saying that a lot between now and next year. Expect the unexpected.

VERY realistic smoke (it's realtime BTW). AGEIA was correct on fluid simulation

whoa, i had my doubts on the game after looking at the screens, but the video is so much better. whoa i cant wait to play this...

and yes! did you see that fucking water??? omg...


only thing i have a issue with now is those rings in the sky, they look ok but kinda out of place.

I wasn't too impressed until I saw the "hook" u-turn mechanic, if that plays as well as it looks it's very nice. Good thing that sci-fi/combat racers are the only kind I'm even remotely interested in.

Looks like the Stargate SG1's one lol.
Thx btw for the video One!

Koei canada is a CG house.They have been around for years and that is all they do there. That's likely why you never heard of them.

Because it's stated so in one of the reports.

 

[seismologist]

That was CG. I just watched a realtime demo that looked really early.

^Are you sure? (genuine question)

I have both HD trailers, the first was footage of a race with some crazy particle effects, and the second was where they take control of one of the crafts and fly around an area shooting some of the rocky surroundings and they looked the same to me.

Reminds me of Star Wars..
