New Celius Titles?

BRAVE ARMS
Brave Arms is a 3rd person adventure in which you seemingly have no ranged weapons, so you attack by getting in close and fighting at ultra-close range with context-sensitive attacks. You can see a "guide line" of your enemies' attacks that tells you what they're about to do and if you react with proper timing you can counter it by pressing the Juggle Button at the instant it would hit you. So it's about getting in close, then it becomes a context-sensitive fighter. It sounds quite similar to Cipher Complex, actually.

CHAIN LIM!T
CHAIN LIM!T uses the Target Link system, which is SORT of similar to QTE, but far more advanced. It looks like you use the two sticks; the left stick chooses areas you can interact with in the environment while the right chooses your action. In the middle shot of the first page, the guy is choosing "Bite" and the tape on his girl's pants. But he could choose to throw some other object or combine two other objects or whatever. Not exactly a linear QTE sort of thing. In the airplane engine thing, we're seeing three scenarios. One where it looks like he dodges a falling box that hits the guy holding his legs, one where he messes up and dies, and one where he selects "remove" while targeting his own belt to drop his pants along with the guy holding them. So theoretically, you can choose any option at any target point, giving you 20+ possible actions. So instead of simple QTE multiple choice, you can combine your options in creative ways.

SECOND
Second is an investigation/adventure game with multiple game modes. One is exploration, one is shooting, and one is selecting voice responses in realtime, which is very similar to Indigo Prophecy. The modes can happen on top of each other, so you can have gun shooting while choosing voice responses. So in the shooting scene they show, you can either blow the target away with your gun (by physically doing it, not selecting it as an option), or try and negotiate with him by selecting your dialogue. You can always change the camera with the right stick, and the options/voice commands change based on what you're facing.

I am curous to see these titles. Its obvious that some scans are running around from Famitsu but I havent seen anything from them

edit: Wow just saw the images in the link you posted. They look spectacular!!!!

Very impressive looking if real time

Btw I love that shot that shows 3 alternative cases. I am talking about the picture where the protagonist is holding on a metal and some bad guy is holding onto his legs while they are being pulled in a jet.

One of those scenarios show the masked guy holding onto the hero's pulled pants. His shorts are shown

Interesting articles..!!

I'm not convinced that the pictures shown were of actual gameplay footage..

They seem to resemble CGI concept work over anything else..

However I love the colours used and the art direction so if the game art is consistent enough then the three titles will definitely amaze..

I'm intruiged by the concepts too.. Hopefully we'll hear more about them at E3 possibly or maybe TGS..?

As we don't know how the visuals are being created, we don't know if they're real or not. the game sounds like you select between pre-cut sequences, a la Dragon's Lair. If so, they could be pre-redendered footage that's true to the game.

As this is mentioned in the other thread, might as well lock this one and keep the discussion there.
