Old school animation as cut scenes... Interesting. Don't see that very often.

I won't go this far, but damn if that announce didn't come out of nowhere.
Excellent, excellent stuff!

And for the graphics, I wouldn't worry too much, the game probably started as a PS2/GC project before getting port to X360, so I expect the graphics to get better. Anyway FEoE rocks.

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

The graphics look exactly like NAMIDA's graphics. I imagine they're reusing the same engine with some tweaks here and there.

Yeah, that's what I think.

The game won't probably be a big budget, neither, but we can at least expect beter textures, shadows, framebuffer effects, and special effects.

Nothing really exciting yet. I hope they saved the best for TGS otherwise I fear for Xbox360.

People, let's keep on topic. No need to respond to other people opinions, especially when they're bordering flamebaits.

K Of everyting I've seen I honestly only think Project Gotham Racing 3 and GOW looks very good but I must have missed alot more looking at your reaction.. any suggestions for me

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

Well, now, I wouldn't say he's out there for flamebait.

From a more general perspective... we haven't really seen anything that great. Games like Tengai Makyou or Super Robot Taisen may have me really excited, but I can recognize that they're more cult favorites rather than mainstream, especially from a western view.

And, while PGR may look great we kinda already knew this from bizarre's website.

Frame City Killer (was killer dropped from the title?) is kinda borederline -- some are impressed some aren't.

What we need to see are some enchant arm trailers, some winning eleven, some ridge racer and so forth stuff to get the more mainstream gamers attention. Big names, you know. We haven't really seen anything new in that sense. Granted, in part, that's because the media has been kinda slow to trickle out... I don't think he's too off for saying it. If you go through the Japanese news sites there only a few blurbs here and there about a few games, mostly it's just a copy of the games list.

If MS is smart they'll do the same thing they did with the E3 trailers and host them in HD on their website. That'll get some buzz going... seeing is believing, after all.


EDIT:: Speak of the devil... Namco's Love Football.

IMHO they did a decent job when you compare it to last weeks PS3 showing.

Better leave some stuff under wraps for the battle that is TGS...

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

Well, I'd agree that they did quite well. The preception though, I think, is quite different. We haven't seen what they did. We're still missing trailers of

NNN
Em
DOA
FF11
RR
Everyparty

and some other stuff I'm not aware of, I'm sure. Really, we haven't seen or heard almost anything in relation to those games, so I'm not surprised if people aren't impressed.

 

[slider]

I don't think in terms of footage or screens we've seen anything that impressive (esp as most have already seen GOW and PGR3). BUT, what is quite impressive (andunsurprising) is the Japanese slant of the showings.
I don't really wanna say something inane like "MS have learnt their lesson and are serious about Japan this time". But they have and are.

Loads of enemy counts yes, but I hope for Mizuguchi's sake that the final game will have faster enemies.

Overall some nice names, but nothing really breaking They'll need much more to be accepted in Japan.

 

[PARANOiA]

99 Nights looks awesome..

Watching the trailer I thought "meh.. looks nice, very slow".

Then at the end when the enemies rain down... I got really excited. Looks like it could lead to a new style of genre thanks to the more powerful technology. Which is what the "next generation" is really about

 

[rabidrabbit]

Seem like a lot of next gen games will have the similar gameplay mechanism of "cutting through a mass of hundreds of enemies"
Ninety Nine Nights, Kameo, Heavenly Sword, that Zombiesomething game... at least these four come to mind which seem very similar gameplaywise (from the videos).
That could get old pretty quick, I hope the devs will soon find other uses for the processing power.

 

[PARANOiA]

That's what they said about walking around shooting stuff from first person perspective

 

[xmu]

Yeah NNN looks great, but I found it odd how the player's character moved and the enemies seemed to do nothing but stand still. But can't really pass judgment based on a shoddy clip of an unfinished game
