I'm looking forward to it. I would have played AC for longer than a couple of weeks if I didn't have to do shit like water my flowers every day. VP allows you to hire poor migrant workers to do your chores for you.

Leave off.
He may not be (North) American. Pinatas aren't very well know in Europe. Certainly not in the UK anyhoo.

It uses the CbtG Engine, or at least parts of it. I think the original idea was My Garden and a Xbox Live game. You had to plant seeds in a garden. (rumors say it was Miyamoto who had this idea)
Then they seemed to scrap that idea and developed a new prototype out of it (called Your Garden according to the makers), which is this Viva Pinata.

Hey, to each their own.

indeed!
But yeah, this is just beautiful. Even in motion, it is breathtaking... even if the game is not a direct match for your taste, it cannot be denied. I never liked Kameo - people said it was beautiful, but it just was ugly to me shy a few distinct areas. This is true next-gen to me.

Yep, one could even mistake it for a PS3 game.

origin:
"The original concept was conceived in 2002 as 'Your Garden'," explains Gregg Mayles, lead designer at Rare. "A game that could run on any device that could communicate with another, where the player attracted animals into an environment and then traded them with their friends. The 'animals' became pinatas from a very early stage to give our creatures a distinctive look and a unique world that we could build upon. Work started during the development of Grabbed by the Ghoulies, where we had an isometric 3D garden running on a Pocket PC (pocket is still actually the game's codename). We soon moved the game to an Xbox development kit to allow us the freedom of a fully 3D world and actually had a prototype running within Ghoulies, using the Flying Imps as temporary 'pinatas'. From there we briefly ran the game on a PC, until we realized that to fulfill the concept's potential and implement all the ideas we had created we needed even more power -- so the game was transferred to the Xbox 360. Even now we are pushing the technical capabilities of even the Xbox 360 extremely hard. We're proud of the fact that even after all of the game's traveling, the core concept remains exactly the same, though."

I'm guessing it's the European equivalent of "**** off", or as the Canadians would say, "take off, hoser".shpankey said:

Live Anywhere ftw?

What the shit, this isn't a PS3 game!?
...
So yeah, I mean it's pretty good looking for a 360 title... but you can see the issues, like with the rock cliff wall and other such areas. Definitely could use a little extra power. Maybe it would benefit from not being on DVD9!

You sir are a doofus!!
Even I know what a piñata is, wanna know why?

I am North American since I live in Canada, but I'm not an American of the US where Spanish is a big part of the culture. As UltraMagnanimous said, Pinatas are not a big everywhere so it's not like I did not know what one was, but I did not make the connection between the graphic style and the name.

Joke post maybe? Pinata shading?
Seriously jj, that is no excuse. no excuse.
Spanish doesn't have to be a big part of your culture to know what one of these things are. These things are known everywhere; used in commercials, books, movies, etc... even in some pop culture references! Canadian or not, you should be ashamed.
Check out this awesome Juicy Fruit commercial. THEN COME BACK TO ME.

Great graphics, but certainly not the best (Gears of War looks a million times better, IMO).
No he's right, look at the strands of paper located between two colors, they are colored twice when in fact they should be one color only. A minor problem, but it's true.mckmas8808 said:

Never seen that before. I did know what a pinata was, I just did not make the connection. It's usually spelt piñata so when I saw the name of this game the first time I was even saying it wrong up until people told me what the name was referring to in this topic. Although I know you're just playing with me now Ami.
