Not famous but I remember there were a few for SO4.

That's because it's the only time it happened.

 

[StickSoldier]

I actually don't find this that impressive on a technical level, especially compared to, say, the MGS3 demo or the RE games - the environmental geometry looks fairly simple, and I don't see any real shader usage other than some cel shading on the main character's model. That said, the textures are good and the overall art direction is excellent, which counts for a lot.

I agree, it's just the direction they took with the overall feel. The atmosphere in those pictures looks incredible. I'm also a fan of the structures and how the character sticks out as if she was glowing. It's by no means some technical feat, but damn is it pretty.

Someone needs to rip that song from the site and gently give us a download link.

Done. Not sure if I can post a download link here?

 

[Vazra]

Done. Not sure if I can post a download link here?

Hmmmm PM or ask a mod?

 

[Branduil]

Done. Not sure if I can post a download link here?

A single track freely available to listen to any time on their website, you should be fine.

 

[Aeana]

That's because it's the only time it happened.

No it isn't.

 

[A.KU.MU]

Hmmmm PM or ask a mod?

I just did. Will wait for the reply before I do anything, if all.

 

[Ezalc]

- 3D dungeon RPG
- young girl as a main character
- girl will talk a lot

I was excited until I read that. The game still looks fucking ridiculously good though, damn.

 

[Boss Doggie]

No it isn't.

That's what it looks like in the game. Hell, I think it looks better in-game.

 

[Skilletor]

That's what it looks like in the game. Hell, I think it looks better in-game.

No it doesn't. It's a jaggy, pretty game.

That might be what it looks like on an emulator, though.

 

[Spirit Icana]

MOTOI SAKURABA!!!!

YAAAAAY!

 

[Aeana]

That's what it looks like in the game. Hell, I think it looks better in-game.

Did you miss the fact that the image I linked is 2048x1536?
This is not an emulator shot. This is an officially released screenshot.

 

[Spirit Icana]

Wow, this looks pretty fucking cool. And the music on the website is awesome. I want to believe that this is Motoi. Some parts sound like it's totally from him, but I could be wrong.

It's definately him! It's his synths at least, and his style is present in the harps and timpani.

It still looks better in-game though, and well... it being a PS2 game should expect a smaller screensize.

So if anything, maybe they can actually "improve" the screens we have so far.

 

[green sticker]

You know that you can turn it off for a reason, right? Even without 3D this game would look pretty impressive.

Yes I do know that and I'm certainly not discrediting it. If anything it looks impressive as hell regardless of the 3d setting.

 

[Aeana]

Ultimate tri-Ace bullshot:

 

[Spirit Icana]

Oh wow! I wish Infinite Undiscovery did came out looking that way.

I still liked the game though. Seraphic Gate was lots of fun.

I remember beating WKC first, then going back to beat IU. I wish somebody would give me confirmation, I'd swear IU is totally sub-HD (going from the sharpness of WKC to IU was like playing with someone poking your eyes).

 

[Boss Doggie]

Well I never followed IU. So I guess you're right then

 

[jj984jj]

I was excited until I read that. The game still looks fucking ridiculously good though, damn.

Except they didn't confirm if she was the main character.

 

[jump_button]

well if they are bullshot why not do them all this one look like it could easy be a real one or a messy/lazy not to do them all

just wait for a vid

Well, the resolution alone isn't saying much, though. I've seen screenshots of DS games that have a higher resolution than the linked screenshot Print magazines need screenshots in a high resolution, so publishers deliver screenshots in high resolutions.

The lack of jaggies on the other hand is a clear sign of it being a bullshot.

 

[Sage00]

Getting sick of 3DS screenshots with bullshot IQ. This, RE Mercs, Tales of the Abyss. It's like the PS2 (or Square Enix on PSP) all over again.

The lack of jaggies come from it being rendered in absurdly high resolutions then scaled down.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah, that screenie actually looks good in-game.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Ok. This IS a good reason for me to buy a 3DS. If Third Parties deliver, 3DS is going to be as enjoyable as DS.

 

[Yuterald]

It's definately him! It's his synths at least, and his style is present in the harps and timpani.

I figured. Yeah, it was the harp transitions that gave it away for me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Seems like Sakuraba can't leave tri-Ace stuff eh?

 

[Neon_Icarus]

MOTOI SAKURABA!!!!

YAAAAAY!

I hope he tries something different with the battle theme this time. :/ It's pretty much just copy and paste with him these days.

 

[Jay Sosa]

Oh wow didn't read the entire title and thought this is for the 360..

Now on the one hand I'm pissed..on the other quite impressed. Looks beautiful and interesting, very Ico-esque.

 

[test_account]

That graphic looks pretty good indeed

 

[Boss Doggie]

You should hear his RoF themes.

 

[ULTROS!]

You should hear his RoF themes.

I liked Kohei Tanaka's more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sodrHUPsrnw

You mean you didn't read the thread title.

I like that, silent protagonists are the WORST thing possible in RPGs. Rarely does it ever work out nicely.

 

[udivision]

What but the Gloves of Increased Grip Strength? With those and a pair of pants, she could star in the next ICO game!

 

[Dreams-Visions]

amazing.

 

[EatChildren]

The bullshottery is strong with this one, and I dont see it as anything really out there for the 3DS. Pretty basic geometry (thanks to the art style), some blurry and pixelated textures, etc.

It does look great, but it doesn't look like something the 3DS couldn't do, especially when you factor in the bullshottery.

I think those textures look pretty good especially when you imagine them on the 3ds screen instead of these larger images. Also everything looks better in motion.

 

[From The Dust]

but she already got pants dawg!

I think her outfit is really cute ^_^

 

[The Mana Legend]

No it isn't.

Uh, did you play Valkyrie Profile 2? Because it looked better than that.

 

[Ratrat]

uh, those are bloomers and they look silly.

 

[Black Republican]

i dont know why but she reminds me of that girl from the cancelled 360 rpg Cry On

 

[Vazra]

This one?

 

[Squire]

Wow. A tri-Ace game is on my radar. Thought that would never happen agiain!

Spoiler

Pretty funny them announcing this post-Gears of Start Ocean-tech demo, you gotta admit.

 

[From The Dust]

uh, those are bloomers and they look silly.

Wrong. She's such a cutie ^_^

 

[qizah]

It looks really nice.

Will be looking out for it in the future.

 

[Solune]

uh, those are bloomers and they look silly.

What's wrong with bloomers? At least they can put a female character into a game without pandering to certain audiences. They look fine.
