60fps in 3D mode!

Shion · (03-01-2013, 03:47 PM)

Impressive, but Shin'en really needs to improve their character designs.

Snakeyes · (03-01-2013, 03:47 PM)

Love the normal mapping.

DaBoss · (03-01-2013, 03:47 PM)

It looks like it's now a 2D platformer. :/ EDIT: GOD DAMN I'M BLIND.

It was impressive that they had a 3D platformer look like Galaxy on the Wiiware size limit. I enjoyed the first one, so I hope this one is better than the last.

Looking good

manueldelalas · (03-01-2013, 03:48 PM)

Yay! I love eshop games with effort behind.

Relaxed Muscle · (03-01-2013, 03:49 PM)

I wanted Shin'en to prove you could do a full 3D plataformer on the console... :(

Oh well, looks good.

120fps if you turn the slider all the way down?

j/k

nooferu · (03-01-2013, 03:50 PM)

I'm quite fond of the original Jett Rocket game on WiiWare and am really looking forward to the 3DS sequel. In Shin'en we trust! :)

Hasn't it been proved to be possible by Nintendo with 3D Land?

serplux · (03-01-2013, 03:51 PM)

Just what I expect from you Shin'en. Looks fantastic.

You sure about that?

It seems like it's more of a 2.5d-ish game. Honestly, I'm not even sure what we call it. There's also this:

I mean something like Galaxy instead of the pseudo 3D gameplay in 3D land.

DaBoss · (03-01-2013, 03:51 PM)

OP, put the screens to show it's also a 3D Platformer.

Is there AA in 2D mode?

Joeshabadoo · (03-01-2013, 03:52 PM)

damn, these guys know how to push hardware

evilromero · (03-01-2013, 03:52 PM)

Fuck yes. I enjoyed the first and hope they keep the 3D platforming bits.

Rash · (03-01-2013, 03:53 PM)

I guess the original was successful, eh? From the demo it seemed like a competent game, and more 3D platformers are refreshing.

The sequel looks like it takes the Galaxy 2 approach. Full 3D sections as well as sidescrolling ones?

grimshawish · (03-01-2013, 03:53 PM)

Wow looks good. Never played the first, should I excite myself?

Tron#1 · (03-01-2013, 03:54 PM)

I can't imagine what there next Wii U title will look like.... They are amazing devs. BUY THEM NINTENDO!!!

I wouldn't want them to do that, they showed their interest in staying independent, but I do would like Nintendo to fund some of their projects.

Rash · 03:58 PM

The character design needs work but otherwise the actual screens look fun. It'd be sweet if one of Nintendo's artists could work with Shin'en.

Perhaps a new FAST game? You know, to fill in the void of F-Zero.

They already develop exclusively for Nintendo. Let them keep their independence and keep on making awesome eShop games.

Somehow keep them exclusive!

MarkusRJR · (03-01-2013, 03:57 PM)

I love Shin'en and I think this game looks technically great, but damn that art style is horrible.

EightBitNate · (03-01-2013, 03:57 PM)

Are there any 3DS games with good AA? SM3DLand, SSF4, and few others would look infinitely better with it.

I wouldn't say artstyle so much as character design. They need to make a mascot for themselves.

EloquentM · (03-01-2013, 03:58 PM)

Wizards indeed

I just don't trust it. I can see a Sony or Microsoft throwing some big money at them.... They are gonna take notice once their next Wii U projects are shown. Seriously these guys get it.... They know how t develop games.

Rm88~ · (03-01-2013, 03:58 PM)

Dem bullshots.

Still, the first one was fun so I'm buying this one. Now we neeed FAST 3DS please.

Coolwhip · (03-01-2013, 03:59 PM)

The main character looks so generic. You need a recognisable character for a platformer Shinen!

Yep.

This is shinen so I doubt these are bull shots.

Exactly they are actually competent devs. They don't need bull shots to fool consumers to buy their game.

They literally have never made a game outside of a Nintendo console, plus they get preferential treatment by Nintendo (early dev kits, eShop placement, etc.). They clearly don't seem to have an interest in other hardware.

They're way, way higher-res than an actual 3DS screen. That's the thing.

I can only hope but sometimes money talks... And a 5 minute stage demo at a console unveiling press conference:)

Well its not like they're trying to fool anyone, but it wouldn't make much sense to release the shots at the 3ds resolution since most people will be looking at them on other devices.

evilromero · (03-01-2013, 04:06 PM)

In a strange way I find the horrible character design charming.

Aostia · (03-01-2013, 04:06 PM)

so good, can't wait!

It's 800 x 480. Double the resolution in 2D

They're technical wizards for sure, but when it comes to artwork, they're no wayforward, thats for sure.

Vollume · (03-01-2013, 04:08 PM)

Wished their games had better art direction looks impressive otherwise.

How many people work at way forward compared to shinen?
