New 'X' trailer [Monolithsoft] shows uncut gameplay
- Thread starter Exentryk
- Start date
good lord a lot of you people never played Xenoblade
I'm guessing there's a gameplay limitation. Fuel or some such.

Disappoitned that they still won't give us full details on this game. The fact that they have "Tester" and then "Player X" etc. listed really makes me worried about what direction they may be taking it in.

I'm guessing the reason the text seems so crude is because this is footage from the Japanese version. I'm sure it'll be cleaned up in the english release.

The Nintendo Direct footage actually had me a little worried. The enemies just looked like huge bullet sponges that weren't posing a threat.
But, still, #inmonolithwetrust

Really wish they'd so along with something more along the lines of Xenoblade's UI the next time we see it.
Clean and not too chaotic.

I am disappointed. No I have been crushed. My heart......
Looks boring, animations are meh, did anyone see that guy run comically fast, battle system is from Xenoblade which I was not a fan of and there are some QTE's as well. The UI also looks like a mess. I though they would improve stuff like that from Xenoblade.
Hype deflated. I feel so defeated.......
Xenoblade combat had the same type of QTE stuff in it. Pretty minor...

It's funny seeing people saying they were disappointed or didn't get what they saw with that X gameplay. It literally looked like Xenoblade with the option to jump in mechs. And some Engrish. What were people expecting? (aside from a story trailer)
I think this game is getting delayed though. Iwata didn't comment on it being a 2014 release unlike the other games, and we still don't have a title. Also still not sure what's going on with the characters, especially with the names (Tester, player 2, etc).
And the difference in player levels... this is totally an online game. We still don't have any confirmation of AI party members beyond "duh, why a story driven RPG have AI party members?!" despite the fact we've barely seen a hint of story either.

I don't know what any of those numbers mean.
I need this in my life.

There is. We've seen images we've fuel gauge for the thing.
In no way does it look like Monster Hunter... Have you ever played Monster Hunter?
And I don't get the complaints about the UI. It looks just like Xenoblade's but updated and fancier. Looks awesome to me.

And I hated it. The thing I that put me off the most when considering Xenoblade was the combat.
Says you. I really liked the combat.

Game looks really nice, but we really still know nothing about this.
I mean, is this gonna be MonHun with mechs? Is there any story at all? If so, are we talking Gears/Saga worthy or shounen stuff like blade?
Come on Takahashi!

It's not.
No. Yes. Yes.
Really, people. Watch the other two trailers and play Xenoblade and all your questions will be answered!
Just like when you first encounter Dunban and Dickson in Xenoblade then.

Wii U owners are starving for games, ofc they are going to hype, even if it's crap.
I'm hoping footage of X in the future is a bit better. Something about "Hey, kill this monkey. It has pretty much no AI so just mash till it's dead, it'll take a bit longer than you'd hope though" followed by "Okay do it again but in a Mech" didn't really click with me. But the combat was the worst part of Xenoblade too, so hopefully they show the better parts of the game soon and re-hype me.
Most likely the game is not coming out this year at least not in EU/US. I would wait for next year with buying wiiU. It may even get a price drop in the meantime.

it will most likely not be massive, but I hope those playing in the footage are all humans.

Initial reveal wowed me a lot more than this gameplay...

Looks pretty much like I figured it would. Still no official title.

Looks alright, but there are a few things that worry me.
The hud is completely jarring, it's way too busy. Those numbers, and the button that keeps popping up. What is that anyway?
The encounters don't really seem all that meaningful. That big enemy didn't really seem to pose much of a threat. It's like size is only about flash and is superficial.

Pretty much. Footage wasn't exactly inspiring.

Looks very similar to Xenoblade. More xenoblade is gooood.

Looks like Xenoblade to me...just with the added mechanic of mechs that can give you power boosts but have fuel limitations? Mechs are probably vital in the fighting the large enemies.
Its weird we have got nothing on the story.
Xenoblade's story was pretty much shounen. Saga was ridiculously complex to the point it was almost a joke. Gears had one of the greatest story in an rpg I have played.

Looks like tension is back with the B button.
It also looks like you can dodge stuff now.

Yes, how dare people be excited about a follow up to the greatest JRPG of last gen...
Seriously?

I don't see how people are surprised about the combat. It's looked just like Xenoblade's ever since the reveal a year back. If anything, it looks a bit faster than it was in Xenoblade, not to mention the swappable weapons. Also mechs, of course. =p
My thoughts too
I thought Xenoblade was really good, despite it's meh combat. So I am pretty interested in this. This trailer confirmed my suspicions that it will indeed play like Xenoblade.
If you can play this couch co-op and it has a proper campaign like xenoblade, I will buy a Wii U just for this (though I'd probably buy Bayo 2 as well).

Just having this would make this a major improvement over Xenoblade.
