I love the concept and the art, but I wish the game really looked like that. Tri-Ace are the kings of bullshots.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Wow :O
it will be a crime against humanity if this title wasn't localized.

Well it's obviously going to be lower resolution with less (no?) AA, but other then that I don't see anything impossible for the 3DS to do. From a technical perspective, it still falls behind what Capcom are doing with their MTFM games.

 

[Wazzim]

Well damn it Tri-Ace, now I gotta get both new handhelds.

 

[Wark]

This game is looking really nice and the music off of the site is awesome. Maybe I'll have to pick up a 3DS sooner or later.

Lower resolution and no (it will be no, the 3DS doesn't support MSAA) AA is what I'm talking about. And to me at least that makes a huge difference, just compare the pre-release SO4 screenshots to what the final game looks like.

It looks so good because of the bullshit high resolution and AA. Sure, the art direction is really nice, but people wouldn't be drooling over this quite as much if it didn't look so clean.

Bullshotted SO4 looked great and clean, and ingame it was a blurry/jagged mess.

Fair enough. Lack of MSAA support doesn't mean no AA though. 2D mode could still have 2xSSAA (it's practically free so I would hope more devs start using it).

 

[Jerk]

On one hand: Looks good.

On the other: Tri-Ace.

 

[AniHawk]

On one hand: Looks good.

On the other: Tri-Ace.

but its director directed valkyrie profile 2!

 

[Pureauthor]

Just wanted to come in and say that this looks nice.

 

[Acosta]

Looks pretty awesome, I dig that visual design.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

Just look at it this way, there is always worse.

If by "worse" you mean "greatest ever" than yeah.

 

[Grampasso]

Graphics put to shame every Wii JRPG ever released :O

Xenoblade says hi.
Anyway, hype +1000 :O

 

[jj984jj]

The girl looks cell shaded but the actual game dosen't. I don't know, the screens look strange to me, she looks strange in the environment.

It's not cel shading, it seems to be one of the popular 3DS shaders for character models.

 

[Krev]

A few more games like this and I may have to reconsider holding out for a 3DS.
A price drop must be coming pretty soon...

Don't kid your self

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Bit puzzling it doesn't look like a dungeon RPG but it is one, if it was an action/adventure or just adventure I'd be sold on it...kinda eager to see just how it plays at the core.

 

[Pureauthor]

Forget the screenshots - the music is the real selling point of this game. I could listen to that music all day.

 

[mello]

Portable gaming ftw!

 

[Sadist]

Looks awesome

 

[Tenbatsu]

David Bowie will be the final boss

 

[Negator]

Are these pictures upscaled or something? I don't think the 3DS has a 640x384 screen.

 

[Medalion]

Bullshots confirmed

 

[Durante]

Are these pictures upscaled or something?

No, in fact they are downscaled. From something around 2048*1152 or higher I'd guess.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Looks very promising.

 

[grumpy]

I really hope they announce this for EU-land.

 

[madara]

Need to see this in motion, could be great. Something about the character and environment not meshing is my first reaction.

 

[Magicpaint]

Looks hot.

jp 3ds import confirmed.

 

[Amir0x]

Dang that does look swell.

Also, "3D Dungeon RPG" is just the type of thing to get my blood going. Sounds rad, new 3DS game to anticipate acquired!

 

[Ramenman]

That does look well.

Unfortunately the "dungeon RPG" part (ie : the whole game) will probably bore me to death.

 

[Mr_Brit]

Bullshots through and through. The final game will look nothing like this.

I don't get why publishers release bullshots for portable games when we all know they won't look spectacular compared to console games.

 

[Izayoi]

Fantastic music. A Japanese 3DS is always so tempting. If only I weren't broke.

Unfortunately the "dungeon RPG" part (ie : the whole game) will probably bore me to death.

You're a monster.

 

[Luigiv]

On the topic of Shingo Mukaitouge, I found Valkyrie Profile 2 for only AU$19 on Ebay. Should I get it? I don't have my PS2 with me right now so how does it run on PCSX2? Will I be alright with my Core 2 Duo E6750?

I don't know anything about emulators and stuff but Valkyrie Profile 2 itself is an awesome game.

Whoa, ha! This hilarious. Got the whole thread?

Are the screens bullshots? Most probably. Will the final game "look nothing like this"? Impossible to say and at this point a baseless assumption.

 

[dk_]

Looks nice!

 

[From The Dust]

You're a monster.

Fragile Dreams

 

[wrowa]

Fragile Dreams

That was developed by Tri-Crescendo and not by tri-Ace, though.

 

[Mortrialus]

Wow, are those actual in game screens, not prerendered or anything?

 

[Mr_Brit]

Wow, are those actual in game screens, not prerendered or anything?

Supersampled screens.

 

[A.KU.MU]

Bullshots.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Now this is a game that looks like genuine effort in visual design has been put into it.
The backgrounds are a bit low poly for my taste, but damn the visual design and mood is really appealing to me.

Also, the screens look like a 3DS game to me. Compared with Revelations and MGS3 or the Conduit Engine port, it's about what I expect from serious 3DS projects.

 

[Tucah]

I'm looking forward to this, not because of the obvious typical tri-ace bullshots, but because the director directed one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

 

[GDGF]

Waiting for someone to post a screen of "what it will really look like on 3DS" that looks 100X worse than it will actually look on the 3DS. Then thread will be complete.

 

[-KRS-]

Wow! Looks incredible!

I'm sure my 3DS owning friends will drop their jaws when they see these screen shots. This is definitely more in line with what I was expecting.

 

[Jerk]

Supersampled screens.

Most likely.

Still, pretty damn good looking game.

Especially on the smaller screen.
