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

I know. But because of it I keep my expectations in check (as much as I can). Not only that, it's Tri-Ace. I'm not their biggest fan, I'll give it the benefit of doubt

 

[Boss Doggie]

Why are people saying that the tri-Ace team that did VP2/RoF are the ones who did the other games (especially SO4)?

 

[Paracelsus]

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.

Nah, game will look like that, just add 4xa (not a typo, I mean "aliasing")

Also

Curious to see what exactly they mean by "RPG."

This.

 

[RurouniZel]

Tri-ACE has some amazing tech wizards working for them. Awesome looking stuff!

 

[Barrett2]

Looks very nice.

 

[Hot Coldman]

This.

What if it's basically Demon Souls, except you can only attack using environment objects, like pushing rocks from heights or lighting fires or stuff like that.

Can you level up from throwing rocks on monsters? If so, fine with me.

 

[Hot Coldman]

You can level up by killing monsters. You know, like an RPG.

I don't know what people are seeing here. Those textures are horrible...

 

[From The Dust]

I don't know what people are seeing here. Those textures are horrible...

They are the best textures I seen on the 3DS thusfar

 

[ace3skoot]

I'm getting an Ico vibe, which is basically the best possible vibe a game could have.

looking forward to seeing it in motion with the 3D effects. the screens are looking hot.

 

[Paracelsus]

I don't know what people are seeing here. Those textures are horrible...

All in all I like this way more than Resident Evil

 

[Londa]

wow, wow, wow, those screens look better than some games on Wii. o_o goodness..

[Bizzyb]

I think it's safe to assume at this point that many high profile Japanese games will get NA releases.

They NEED the support/sales as the JPN market alone won't do it.
That said, I'm looking forward to this game, One-Piece and Tales of the Abyss

Game look gorgeous btw. Can't wait to see what they've done with MGS3 so far.

 

[thehillissilent]

I really like the art style. It reminds me of Ico. However, I not really impressed with graphics on a technical level. The poly count doesn't seem that high and it needs some more normal mapping.

 

[maxmars]

Portable Demon's souls? That would be something, expecially if they implemented some kind of streetpass feature in it.

The game also runs in 60fps sweetness <3

 

[Kolgar]

I'm still getting used to the fact that, as good as this looks, those screens will have a whole extra dimension when I play on my 3DS.

Wow.

 

[UncleSporky]

Keep in mind those are the wrong resolution and certainly have too much AA applied...the actual game might look more like this:

(correct resolution and with some simulated aliasing)

[anddo0]

Impressive! And an original title too.

I'm hopping on the 3DS train when Zelda: OOT releases. So, it's nice to see other titles that spark my interest.

Really. That settles it. *switches to open eBay auction tab and buys*

Ha. I wanna say I didn't fulfill this because this pic is probably still a bit better than what it will really look like.

My secret hopes is that every 3DS game include an option to get 2xAA when 3D is off.
That's good enough for the small screen.

- Tri-Ace game
- girl will talk a lot

Well that does not bode well. Unless they have an amazing script writer and voice actress.

Still, those screenshots look pretty sweet.

 

[A.KU.MU]

- girl will talk a lot

They tend to do that. Joke aside, the game looks good and will most likely be a must buy.

 

[Luigiv]

Every game is unlikely, given that some games double framerate in 2D mode (actually more like framerate throttling in 3D). However, if there's none of those framerate shenanigans at play then Devs have no excuse not to include it.

 

[Kyoufu]

All praise Komami!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Really. That settles it. *switches to open eBay action tab and buys*

Very much, here's a sample

And some high skill-level fights. Eat your heart out, Tales of Shit!

 

[Londa]

I don't care if it looks worse on the 3DS. The 3DS has no rpgs right now. Will buy day one no matter what.

 

[Jinfash]

Haha, I just saw them and those were my first thoughts. Probably because the launch games I picked up, while fun, were underwhelming graphically (3D effect notwithstanding).

But this really look good. Tri-Ace throwing some weight behind a handheld to create an original IP is exciting, regardless of how well you received their current gen games

That dosn't look too bad when compared against most JPRG's this gen.

Although, obviously, it has the look of "early 2005/6" actual gen graphics.

About the 3DS game, looks really good, I'll like to see footage of the game, but it does looks beautiful. I hope we can see more and more games starting to use 3DS graphic capabilities.

 

[kinggroin]

Last Story looks better.

Xenoblade character models look like crap. Environment wise I think Xenoblade looks better.

Monster Hunter Tri looks better except characters models.

Nah. Monster Hunter Tri looks better in every way. It was and still is, a gorgoeus game imo.

That said, this game looks like a fantastic first effort from tri-ace. Cant wait to see some gameplay videos.

 

[gimz]

you guys really think this game can be release in this year?

 

[Luigiv]

The game is already 60% done, so it's possible.

Wait... what is this?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Wait... what is this?

Valkyria Profile 2, some great PS2 JRPG that I'll finish someday (as many other JRPG I have on my backlog)

 

[Fernando Rocker]

But... but... GAF told me that the 3DS was just a DS with 3D tacked on!

 

[wrowa]

Wait... what is this?

Valkyrie Profile 2 for PS2.

 

[DieH@rd]

nice pr bullshots in OP

 

[Drone-Arms]

ICO-noclastic fantastic, can't wait, love the art style, hope the game lives up to it.

 

[Quixzlizx]

Isn't Tri-Ace famous for bullshots?

[Kyoufu]

I'll reserve judgement until I see gameplay videos. Definitely looks pretty for a 3DS game.

 

[JaMarco]

Wow, looks really good.

Yeah, the art design is fantastic.

They're hardly "famous" for bullshots. I know for Star Ocean 4 they had bullshot incidents, but can't think of an instance before that.

 

[Finalow]

yeah, seems pretty good.

 

[Vic]

Impressive.
