Thanks for this, but GAF is already angry today and I fear the consequences of a new NiGHTS thread.

Hold on, let me wait though 5 minutes of ads


...anyway, the normal speed still looks too slow, and the framerate still looks like it's on life support at times.

Other than that it looks pretty good. The music seems ... a little disappointing right now, but we'll see.

Maybe it's just the vidoes, or is the framerate really that poor?

It's looking much better, but there are so many little things that could do with ironing out and it's a shame it's not going to get the extra dev time it needs.

Delay it until summer next year and this could be fantastic.

Delay it Sega! It's going to be an overlooked turd this December, but could be a fantastic Q2 release.



....it'll probably bomb either way, but still.

The difference between the TGS stage (WOW) and the other levels (early PS2 standards with some decent effects) is SHAMEFUL.
Thumbs up for the bosses, the sound the kids make when climbing the chain at the beginning is 101% approved by Pedobear. :D

Eh, I was expecting much worse for the framerate based on the comments. It was terrible (not what I want, but I can live with it).

I'm getting really worried that the developers had absolutely no idea what made the first game enjoyable.

The point now is to get those keys from birds.. but if you get them you can't continue to do laps. But the birds, if you're doing speed boosts, seem completely unavoidable. What the hell?

Very few enemies, the animation when you join with NiGHTS looks AWFUL when compared to the original, and lots of areas which just seem barren. :(

Im pretty sure the devs know what made the first enjoyable since, you know, they developed that one too.

Are you 100% sure?

Because the director on this game was supposedly the level designer for the last game. At least that was the last thing I heard, and it was in a japanese magazine interview if i'm not mistaken.

I never knew Sega Studios USA (Sonic Team USA) was involved in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, some members must fly between the two studios.

Its getting there, I am starting to see the Nights I loved but this game needs more time. Frame rate is dropping at times, some of the levels still feel a bit empty at parts. I hope its good.

Would look mostly pretty good if not for the very very inconsistent framerate.

That is gonna kill a game like this, especially in this day and age. Tighten that shit up.

I really don't think that framerate will be in the final game... even Sega can't screw something like this.

BTW, 70% of the posts in this thread are quite useless... *sigh

It's double hateable because it almost seems to be mocking the original music by very superficially resembling it.

NiGHTS without awesome (and when I say awesome I mean the best) music simply just isn't NiGHTS, simple as that.

NeoGAF, please take a listen to the original soundtrack if you haven't already:
http://www.ultrace.com/uost/nights/
THAT is how great game music can be.

Sega, scrap this turd and just give us the original with bilinear and perspective correction and you won't ever hear us complain again.
