I called it, bitches!!! Weaponlord meets Time Killers!
Ok, so I didn't exactly call it, but it seems like I was the closest.

Did you have any interest in it before? The concept? A gladiator-type Bushido Blade type game? Or is it the amount of blood that has now taken it off your list? Pure curiosity here; I obviously don't have any interest in the game what with it not being on the PS2 or older.
I'll agree with you there, then. Since High Voltage is going to be reading through this thread eventually, the copious amounts of blood are incongruous with your IGN statements of being "brutal, but realistic." People just don't bleed that much, unless you're surgically hitting all their arteries.Aeana said:
I'm not as interested as The Conduit initially, but if it controls well it could be pretty neat. Weapons-fighting game with Wii motion-plus, with different weapons to upgrade, stats, and probably a branching storyline based on your interactions with other fighters (think the career mode in the WWE games).
It's already looking okay considering the jaggies that are in every Wii screenshot should go away once we see it in motion.

High Voltage's game art makes Rare blush
the game pitch sounds interesting enough, though.

Nope. And I'm perfectly happy with what I still have yet to play on them! And replay. Ooooooh yeah.
I didn't have any interest in it "before" since this is the first time we've seen it. I do, however, enjoy the setting and would like to play more games set similarly. I don't know enough about the actual game itself to say whether it is or is not interesting. I am, like everyone else, expressing an opinion based on what we have here.Red Scarlet said:
It seems really silly that negative opinions are so frowned upon, like people would rather have 100 pages of "HOT. DAY 1" than actual discussion.
This tech is widely known and has been used in many games before it. It wouldn't work in Dead Rising. Basically you animate a set (less than 5 probably) of spectators, and then just have the same character at the same frame in its animation duplicated all over the arena. No need for AI (expect possibly randomly choosing one of the 5 animations).doomed1 said:
About the game, this sounds good. From the description of the gameplay, I'm getting a Punchout with Gladiators vibe. Could be a lot of fun.

Well, they seem to have new scenery artists:
If this two levels are somewhat like this in the game, im fucking in.
I love Roman architecture.
And I like the idea, better than the conduit for me because of its theme. If the conduit its finally fun to play im going to pay good moneys for Gladiator AD

Anyhow it looks awesome just as Colosseum: Road to freedom.
Hell yeah, one SERIOUSLY underrated game.
This game has the exact same concept, but I hope it actually delivers on all of them unlike Colosseum. I'd like to see the RPG elements fleshed out more.

I meant the concept. That could have been thought about long ago. I don't really care if you have a positive or negative opinion about it, not really sure why you are griping at my post with a bunch of others responding to you.

So please enlighten everybody with what you have seen and read that is different from us. Oh, you're just spouting fanboy crap.

The concept sounds really good. But the art is shitty. These guys need to hire some good artists. They have an engine that can make pretty damn good Wii graphics.
I wish they'd go with a RE4 style, instead of trying to bump map everything to hell and back.
If the game is good, though, I'll buy it. I think HV has talent there, they just need to get better artists.

Ive read the description and I think it looks incredibly good. I also like the music.
As I said, if the conduit finally is FUN to play, as that is the most important thing, I would be day 1 Gladiator AD for me.

Wow, never thought I'd see sprocket get mod roasted for pro-Wii fanboyism. :lol

I have to say, the detail on the clothing is pretty damn high.

big_z said:looks uninspired but the tech looks like it's more advanced than most wii games. have to see it in motion before judging it too hard.
a developer needs to remake this game with wii motion plus.
Die by the Sword was an awesome, awesome game. Good call.
cool idea
looks bad visually in those shots to me
Should probably have gone stylized with the visuals. I've never seen a game with an art style that brings to mind old Greek art. That could have been cool? I don't know. Realism just doesn't work for me on the wii.
I'll keep an eye on it however. I could see it being a fun game to play with a certain group of friends I know...

I like the art style...it looks about like Id imagine gladiator art to look. I dig the fact that it isnt overly done or nonsensical. Sure the assets could always be better, but as far as the art style...its fine with me. All I ask for at this point(aside from a good game) is that it runs smooth.
