From Software has been on a roll lately. Demon's Souls is amazing. And now this.
The game reminds me a bit of the old FF, Zelda and DQ games.

Looks like Dragon Quest 1 with Lego blocks.

just looking at those screenshots hurts my eyes.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #3 on:** August 20, 2009, 03:42:40 PM »

It looks really cool, but does anyone know what kind of game it is? RPG? Adventure? Action?

Third · « **Reply #4 on:** August 20, 2009, 03:55:21 PM »

Action RPG.

The story:

Quote

3D Dot Game Heroes is set in the Kingdom of Dotnia. This world was once made up of 2D sprite art like something out of an old school game. However, wanting to attract more people to the kingdom, the king decided to use technology to make everything 3D. This is where something goes horribly wrong, although just what that is has yet to be specified.

...

The game's background story involves six magic orbs which were stolen by a demon of darkness, who was then defeated by a brave swordsman and sealed away using the combined power of the orbs. You play as the grandchild of that brave swordsman, and you're tasked with saving the world.

lol

The game will be released this coming november in Japan

I'll import if it has english text, and if it's any good.

I'm with the guy who said the effects are out of place and ugly. The actual pixel/polygon art design is neat, but then the reflection effect on the water and some of the reflections/lighting just looks horrible. Curious to how it plays though. Hopefully it's not just a joke game made for satirical purposes.

Demon Soul was an amazing game.. but the difficulty was just too much. I gave up on that game because of it, and I cant remember when was the last time I did this.

I guess Atlus and Ignition are both interested in bringing this to North America.

This is actually starting to look neat. I wish I wasn't so anti-importing for $$$ purposes atm. I'm not importing like anything as I've lost that feeling that an import game is worth $80-90 when I'm getting used to paying $40-55 for big US games. Also 2G2D and stuff has me lowering my spending costs. I think the only games I will pay that import money for are SMT SJ (I'll buy every R&D1 game, sadly) & FFXIII this year.

I hope they pick this up for the US. I would totally buy it at $40-55.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #28 on:** September 08, 2009, 12:52:26 AM »

This was the first video of a game I've seen in a long, long, long time that has made my jaw drop.

Goddamn seriously this game looks insane. From Software

like, right now

I'm hoping it's like Demon's Soul that at the very least it gets an English Asian version. I want this so bad.

The two things I was skeptical on, combat and how it look sin motion, were both solved with the video. Combat? It's 2D Zelda.

Graphics? incredible

Demon's Soul was published by Sony, they always do English language versions of their titles for Asia. This is published by FROM, so I'm guessing no English version for Asia.

Is there anything to point that it is something other than a basic DQ1 rpg?

cool breeze · « **Reply #44 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:51:23 AM »

yeah, it definitely seems like 2D Zelda

and the only two new concerns I have are that the perspective seems like it's locked, which would suck since I'd like to free look around the world, and you might need to create a character and their walk cycle too.

Quote from: Bebpo on September 14, 2009, 04:03:23 AM

I think the water looks awful even in motion, but otherwise it looks greaaaaaaaaaaaat.

yeah, the water was a bit of a let down. I was hoping it would rise bit by bit, but instead it just seems to shimmer a lot and look weird. Everything else looks great. It all looks like it's done in stop motion, and when objects move at normal speed, like dead enemy bits, it makes it seem even more cool.

They should bring it to 360 and PC too. 360 at least should be reasonable since it's not published by Sony, right?

Yeah my opinion of Ignition is pretty low still. All they have to their name is a bunch of shitty localizations and Muramasa, where they basically spent a few hours translating the bare minimum, left all the other Japanese voices/text in and then called it a day.

Bildi · « **Reply #46 on:** September 15, 2009, 04:41:12 AM »

That blur is a little frustrating, it obscures an awful lot. I hope they tone it down. The water is a missed opportunity too.

I'm more excited because it looks like all 2D Zelda games in the style of Zelda 1 if it was done with legos. Only the water looks bad and out of place.

cool breeze · « **Reply #53 on:** October 01, 2009, 12:34:04 PM »

It has to do with how much I like Zelda games. If you aren't crazy about them and laugh when you notice this game even copied the pegasus boots animation, then some of the appeal is probably lost.

Personally I think if Nintendo's given up making decent Zelda games, someone else might as well have a go.
