The screenshots in NP look gorgeous, that video posted earlier using a camcorder does it no justice. Then again the NP screenshots could have been cleaned up....

Mmmmmm...

The first and second screenshot... wow.

I'm pretty confident this may be the best looking Wii game yet.

Naah, doesn't really mesh, looks like cardboard cutouts. Pretty cardboard cutouts but still not a proper scene.

Style, n. The universal defense employed by artists who failed at making something the audience approves of by claiming it was intentional and noone understands the work.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #57 on:** October 02, 2008, 04:23:34 PM »

Except it is intentional and so far you're the only one that doesn't like it, so...

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #58 on:** October 02, 2008, 04:33:50 PM »

is this wiiware or full blown retail game?

And? What IS gaming if not fun? These are finally things these people can enjoy! Hell, I don't even get how you can claim "non-games" have no challenge, most if not all of them are highscore hunts and I don't see people getting gold or platinum medals on their first few tries.

What IS a "good value for their dollar"? Seriously, what? When a game is fun, isn't that enough? What exactly do you need to get a "good value"? Are you just saying again that you don't like the games?

What IS "quality"? Good games, no?

Aren't all your arguments "I don't like their games therefore they are stupid"?

You know, I've been saying that 3d Zelda < 2d Zelda... 2D Zelda didn't have much story. Neither did 2d Mario. You probably saw me call OOT and M64 bad. I still stand by that, I don't like those two much. Both have massive increases in complexity from all that 3d movement stuff. Mario doesn't just jump and run anymore, he can sideflip, backflip, triple jump, slide on his belly, kick, wallkick, stomp, ... Why? Wasn't jumping and running enough?

...cracks me right up.

Retail game.

It's mostly something I snapped up from polycount where people would defend their mistakes as "style". Proportions out of whack? "style". Face looks like Picasso drew it? "style". Made it impossible to point out the mistakes and hence I'm somewhat allergic to people invoking "style" as a defense for their stuff.

Those different sprites really don't mesh well together, the edges feel too different from the rest of the sprite.

My god.

My god.

My god this game looks fantastic.

The STYLE is remarkably nice, because STYLE is a perfectly valid concern when making games or any kind of art, and the world would be aesthetically VAPID without the benefits of style.

The trailer looked kinda dumb. Not visually, but gameplay wise. It looked like there weren't any combos or anything like that.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #65 on:** October 06, 2008, 02:55:39 AM »

That trailer was a year ago.I think they added more in that time.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #66 on:** October 08, 2008, 11:32:50 PM »

More delicious screens! (The location variety is so, so nice...)

More here!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #67 on:** October 09, 2008, 12:19:19 AM »

These screens are beautiful.
I really like the last one.

Caliban · « **Reply #68 on:** October 09, 2008, 03:06:03 PM »

*stunned*

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #69 on:** October 09, 2008, 03:28:09 PM »

And now have an (off-screen) trailer to cleanse your palette! Man it's beautiful...Particularly the ocean scene at the end!

(I know someone is going to mention it, so I'll preempt that by saying that any "framerate jumps" appear to be intentional pauses when hitting enemies...)

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #70 on:** October 09, 2008, 03:31:21 PM »

I'm bothered that the earliest enemies have zero fight in them.

The combat paints itself like it's the action-platformer equivalent of side-scrolling schmups (the easy ones).

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #71 on:** October 09, 2008, 03:51:26 PM »

Looks like it has TONS of involving boss fight. i like.

Caliban · « **Reply #72 on:** October 09, 2008, 03:53:48 PM »

After watching that trailer, I got to thinking on how cool could it ever be if Okami was done by the same company that is doing Muramasa, and in full hand drawn visuals... bliss I say, bliss.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #73 on:** October 09, 2008, 04:47:45 PM »

What, a 2D version? That'd be pretty cool, I must admit...

Caliban · « **Reply #74 on:** October 09, 2008, 04:59:50 PM »

A 2D version indeed. They've got all the reference artwork done already, "Okami: Official Complete Works".
