[Helznicht]

Very Nice. Is this coming out over here?

[littlewig]

And people were complaining about this game's graphics because of the overworld.

This game looks nice, a good indication of what FF3 looks like.

[Oblivion]

Looks nice.

[stressboy]

Looks very good. I need a DS.. and soon.

[Bebpo]

It looks really good. Much better than I would have expected.

[FallenOne666]

3D done.... well on DS?

[GaimeGuy]

NICE

[SantaC]

looks good actually

[elostyle]

rather hot from what I can tell

[Die Squirrel Die]

Too many Tales games. It's getting confusing remembering which is which.

I never really thought of Namco as milkers, but recently with this series they are earning their place right next to EA, Ubisoft, Capcom and Koei.

[Ronok]

If this game manages not to get a EU/US release, there is no justice in the world. >.<

[HadesGigas]

Where are these pics from?

At least with the handhelds you only need to hope for one. As long as it's in English somewhere in the world, everyone is happy. Except for the people who can't read English, but they need to get with the times already.

[neptunes]

looks good

As long as they're good... I don't care...

[StephaneC]

wait for quality pics ... remember children of mana :/

[Mama Smurf]

*scratches head*

I don't get it.

[elostyle]

I don't get it.

[AdmiralViscen]

I don't know crap about Tales games, but I'm trying all kinds of new shit on DS. I'm in.

[Die Squirrel Die]

*scratches head* I don't get it.

*also scratches Mama Smurf's head....hmmm lice, you's dirty*

Children of Mana looks great, what's the problem?

[Shaheed79]

Makes you wonder what a Cell-shaded Zelda would look like on DS. Better yet Jet Set Radio.

[StephaneC]

*also scratches Mama Smurf's head....hmmm lice, you's dirty* Children of Mana looks great, what's the problem?

first screens = village *omg amazing woooooooaw full 3D game !!!!!!!!*

and after that ... the real screens, looks just ok

[Matix]

Now this is how all future 3D DS games should look, because the Cel-Shading is doing wonders on my eyes. Also this is a good example how Zelda: DS might look on the DS, I fucking hope so at least.

[StephaneC]

name of the new character is rubia hatwick i think.

[Mama Smurf]

But they're all real in game screens. One isn't any more real than the other, when I turn on the game I'll be walking through areas as good as those first screens.

Even the dungeon bits looks great too. Not as great as the village, but better than most DS games. No one seems disappointed anyway.

[Oblivion]

If Nintendo feels compelled to use cel shading, for fuck's sake find a better character designer.

Nintendo makes the Tales series? :O (or are you referring to the character designs for WW?)

[ivysaur12]

A Day/Night system?

Looks great. I really like how this looks, especially for the DS.

[Oblivion]

WW, amigo. :)

[robut]

That pic of the shop looks WAY better than anything else i've seen on the DS.

[littlewig]

That pic of the shop looks WAY better than anything else i've seen on the DS.

Actually, it looks almost identical to the shop shown in the FF3 DS screens...

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

rakuten (online shop) description:

- Drawings of characters and backgrounds are expressed in 3D completely. The town presentation's followed of all the past series with a legible and a warm map. It's presented out a world that holds the feeling of the air which existing handheld machines haven't considered. - The battle is inherited from ToR's LMB with elements of the Touch Panel and the Double Screens are added on. Upgraded presence of battle scene to the 3D 3 Line Battle becomes deepen further. - The player is able to battled by switching, correspond to the high&low screens based on the situation. Further, the lower scene corresponds to the Touch Panel controls, so the controls of the player are assisted during the battle. - By using the Wireless Communication Function of the Nintendo DS, the quest where you can play with 2~4 people can be easily prepared. The adventure can be enjoyed together by multiple people. - Bonus gift with preorder is a 'Design Materials Collection'

It looks amazing. Namco Tales Studio are talented, both of them.

But I have 2 questions...
1) How long will Tempest be? So good graphics, plus voices....maybe only 20h?
2) Story. I don't trust Team Destiny anymore after Tales of KUREAAAAAAAAAAAA

Still amazed at graphics... :)

[norinrad21]

That's a DS game? WOW

[callous]

I'm just going to join in and say wow.

[speedpop]

Looks great, definite purchase.

[AndoCalrissian]

first screens = village *omg amazing woooooooaw full 3D game !!!!!!!!* and after that ... the real screens, looks just ok

Well, if you though Children of Mana DS was in 3D from the village screens, you let yourself down.

[Guns N' Poops]

Wow, looks very neat. Looks very comparable to the new console entries of the series. I think the shop is actually pre-rendered, though.

[Raiden]

Heh pretty good, DS time!

[Viewtiful Darkness]

The game looks very impressive. The Nintendo DS seems to be capable or current gen console quality cel-shaded graphics. Tony Hawk American Skateland looks great and Tales of the Tempest looks even better. Hopefully Namco or Nintendo will decide to bring the game to North America.

[Aurora]

Nice nice nice!

[Tim the Wiz]

And it's online, too? Very nice.

[ivysaur12]

And it's online, too? Very nice.

No, I think it's just local wireless.

[Aurora]

No, I think it's just local wireless.

I think that's better anyway. I mean how would online work? It would turn into an MMO.

[duckroll]

I think that's better anyway. I mean how would online work? It would turn into an MMO.

Player matching != MMO. It would work the same way as local wireless, except you don't have to be in range to play with a friend. :P

[radioheadrule83]

If theres any multiplayer I'd hope it'd be more than the plug-in-during-battles-but-sit-there-bored-the-rest-of-the-time stuff you can do in Symphonia

edit: oh almost forgot, the game looks very nice indeed. Do we have a date on this?

I don't think you are going to be able to play with 3 friends in the game...

Its more like using wireless you'll be able to do that in a quest. 2-4 players battles against some monsters...I hope they put player vs player too.

Date: 13 April


duckroll, how hot is tales ds now? :)


Btw, where is jarrod? DS thread plus Tales thread, and he isnt still here?
I have a new theory for you...

[duckroll]

duckroll, how hot is tales ds now? :)

Much hotter than Xenosaga I+II I have to admit.

Btw, there was a massive update on the XS I+II site but I don't think anyone wants to see more of the pain. :(

[MaddenNFL64]

IWATA says: You will say wow!

(sorry, never did it before :P)

Seriously though, that looks great. More 3D on DS please . Or quality 2D. Whatever...

[MaestroRyan]

hot as hell. symphonia was my favorite game, so this is a definite pick up.
