Capybara/Cartoon Network announce OK K.O.! Lets Be Heroes (consoles/PC)
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
I suspect it'll be shown at E3, portrayed as releasing this year and pushed to next year as is status quo.
They're a multi-team studio IIRC.

Looking forward to playing this.
Polygon also had an article on it

It's definitely multi-platform. Brawler-meets-RPG is the way its described, but like many games it doesn't fit totally in that description. There's definitely punching robots, though.
Also, we have 2 teams and always have made 2 games at once, so Below is still trucking.

Is it coming to the switch ?

What's wrong with that? Wording is fine.

I don't think they mean it as "two consoles" but rather "both consoles and PC"
I think he's referring to a 3rd recently released console like device.

Still absolutely nothing wrong with what Polygon said.

you should read it like: "it is coming to consoles and PC, both". Obviously PS4 is announced cause its up on the PS Blog ( http://blog.us.playstation.com/2017...nd-find-easter-eggs-in-ok-k-o-lets-be-heroes/ ) but that's all so far.
It's the wrong assumption. Article is fine.
Guess it depends on whether or not you consider Switch a console.
On topic, this is great but that show really needs to get aired if they want more people to get excited about it. CN is really dragging their heels on this one, they've been sneaking short animations on their youtube channel for months.

They way it's worded they could be referring to 100 consoles. The "both" isn't describing the number of consoles.
I agree with you all, just pointing out he seemed to be eagerly defensive that Polygon might not have considered the Switch a console.
I understand your point, but it's unrealistic to expect better from polygon.
I don't think that's the case because the only consoles it's apparently coming out for are Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and they didn't even specify they were talking about Xbox One.
Still, eh.

No that's exactly what they meant. It's plain English.
Yeah, whatever. I digress.
It certainly has been a long time coming. This new style from the intro is much more striking, though.
Actually, a CapyBara representative came here to specify it's just "consoles and PC" for now, with PS4 specified due to PSBlog's post.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The show is AMAZING, and has style for daysssss.
Also, here's another screenshot that wasn't posted in all the articles...
yesssssss
Gravity Falls eventually got a game (don't remember if it was any good) so it's certainly possible.

I like that Nathan from Capy has gone basically unnoticed in this thread

For those who don't know, the main character K.O. is voiced by none other than Stephanie Nadolny, aka, the original Kid Goku and Kid/Teen Gohan.
Since a lot of people seemed to have missed it, there was actually an OK KO mobile game last year that was a pretty cool little brawler
Looking forward to this new one and the show

As awesome as it looks, I wouldn't expect the show to look like that. That's Studio TRIGGER doing the opening, so things are bound to look awesome.
I do like the finalized character designs and overall style though.
If you think it's crazy seeing the pilot and the shorts eventually turn into this, try following Ian Jones-Quartey's work for the past 15+ years. I used to read his RPG World comic back when he regularly updated in the early 2000s. I was a freshman in high school then, and now I'm teaching at that same high school. I'm so freaking happy that he finally has his own show on Cartoon Network. If there's anyone who can do video game parodies, it's him.
I doubt the show will look as great as the intro, but the animation in the shorts was pretty good. They did get a lot of different animators to do them though and I wonder if that's something that'll carry over to the full show.

Ian is, honestly, one of the most talented people I've ever met. He's been a driving force in our collaboration along with Toby Jones, his partner on the show (who has a similarly rad path to KO).
The biggest strength is that they play videogames. Lots of them. And then they made a show where videogames are at the core - not in some HEY LOOK VIDEOGAMES way, but more thoughtful and creatively.
