[Krusenstern]

The concept art looks fantastic.

 

[hypostatic]

Sign me up yesterday.

 

[Whompa]

Looks like the sequel to Daikatana.

 

[FlyStarJay]

this looks freaking good. sci fi rpg. Except for mass effect and defiance, do we have sci fi rpgs?

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Sounds neat on paper. No proven record from these guys, so could go either way. Will keep an eye on it at least.

 

[Donthizz#]

my kinda game, hell ya.

 

[Tohsaka]

Sounds potentially awesome, need to see/hear more to decide whether or not to back it though.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Environment looks beautiful. Not digging the tiny heads though

 

[Black Door]

A team with no pedigree, gameplay "inspired by" lots of stuff but not actually doing anything creative on its own (didn't we take another KS project to task for this recently?) and the typical "Blade Runner" cyberpunk visuals instead of something fresh. I personally need to see more than concept art before I "day one" this, especially with 2077 on the horizon

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The art has me intrigued.

 

[Endo Punk]

OH LAWDY DAT ART!

Pretty much. Let's not fall into the Kickstarter trap of getting carried away and funding bold ideas with teams that we have no idea whether they can execute.

 

[Takao]

Yeah, $150,000 is correct. Pardon me all. I haven't really slept much since Tuesday.

Yeah, there's no way they're doing justice to their concept art for $150k.

 

[timetokill]

she just had to be wearing 12 inch heels or had them built into her cyborg legs or what have you

 

[element]

I agree, but 13,000 a month is absurd. Maybe try living not in the most expensive part of sf? East Bay anyone? Health insurance costs money, but not that much...

$13k is actually on the low side. That takes care of salary, insurance, retirement, taxes, computers, power, rent, and any other expense related to an individual employee.

A programmer will probably be between $70k and $80k yearly, which ends up $6500 a month just in salary alone. Everything else adds up really quick.

Not to mention acquiring software such as a proper UDK license, Adobe products, Maya/Max, and other tools.

Phantasy Star was one of the first and best.

 

[Akainu]

150,000? That seems more attainable.

 

[Raonak]

sweet jesus. want want want want so much want

 

[Soriku]

$150,000? Uh...hope it turns out OK. Fixed the OP in any case.

 

[chaosblade]

150,000? That seems more attainable.

Has there ever been a kickstarter game without a PC version to get even close to that amount? Especially with the lack of pedigree this has. $150,000 still seems like it will be really tough to get.

I have no clue, but it's not 1,500,000.

 

[cheststrongwell]

That character art is hideous. Goddamn.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I always wondered why neo-tokyo was a thing, and never like neo-new york or london.

 

[Beermeister]

I'm in... wait...

... release the game digitally in fall 2014.

... and I'm out.

 

[Paertan]

Sounds cool. Will try and keep an eye on this.

Oh and them tactical high heels xD

 

[Some Nobody]

3D Action/RPG with Devil May Cry-style combat, a detailed RPG leveling system, stealth segments, and gorgeous art and they're only asking for $150k? Unless they have serious funding elsewhere, this is a pipe dream.

This. To be honest it sounds like a game that would cost $50 or $60 million, easy.

 

[Labadal]

They had me until the combination of the three letters DLC popped up.

 

[Stevetopsy]

Getting serious Quantum Theory vibes from the art direction. Meh.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Looks and sounds really interesting. Definitely now on my radar.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

The plot synopsis sounds like a Ninja Gaiden script that got tossed away for being too stupid. Seriously just replace Musashi Miyamoto with Ryu Hayabusa and it makes total sense

 

[Dark_castle]

Descriptions sound awfully similar to FFXV. lol

And license board system?? They need to be careful with how they name and implement it, or else Square will slap them with a C&D.

Otherwise, 150k should be attainable. But the project seems way more ambitious for that amount, unless they downsize things.

 

[Contra11]

Looks like a girl with a boxer body

 

[DangerMouse]

Looks really cool.

Also, always nice to get some RPG/action RPGs this early.

Directly into my veins.

This.

 

[cuyahoga]

$150k budget is completely unrealistic, unless the dev team is 3 people or less. Very skeptical here.

 

[Dunan]

Much as it disappoints me to see Tokyo chosen again and again and again for the setting of seemingly every Japan-based game, I kind of liked seeing Ameyoko in Ueno:

...because I'm in that area every week.

Still, how about a Neo-Sapporo or a Neo-Nara once in a while?

Sapporo is boring as hell and Nara is an historical city. Neither make much sense as a location.

 

[Nome]

ALWAYS down for some cyberpunk.

 

[Jaroof]

I'm in.
Action RPG is my favorite genre.
Hopefully it's good!

 

[Mentok]

I don't know a lot about development, but 150,000 seems really light to achieve the concept art and vision they're looking for.

 

[Salex_]

I'm in... wait...



... and I'm out.

Why would you not buy a game because it's only a digital release? I don't understand this logic.

 

[Blinck]

This is very strange, I'm almost sure that this is a personal piece from Raphael Lacoste ( currently working as Assassin's Creed art director) and not actual concept art for this game.

messing around with cityscape composition"

Usually when it's art for a project the artists say so.

This was painted and posted in his portfolio almost 1 year ago, I find it very hard to believe that he would post it so early before this game reveal.

 

[Liamario]

Without gameplay, you might as well show me pictures of turnips for all I care.

 

[Kenshin001]

Seems they've been a PS4 licensed developer since April and have global product approval for all of SCE. They already have a PS4 devkit. Wondering if they are getting some assistance then.

 

[Dunan]

Sapporo is boring as hell and Nara is an historical city. Neither make much sense as a location.

But the game is set nearly 200 years in the future. Two hundred years in the past, Sapporo was wilderness. All kinds of things can happen by then.

 

[54-46!]

I thought this was about 2gd's arena FPS, I leave disappointed.

wat

and this piece is from 2011

Where did gematsu get the art for the gallery?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

The cityscape concept art looks amazing at least. If that's actually art for this game and they capture that vibe, I'll be all over this.

Looks very cool. We need more sci-fi games.

I'm sorry, but I'm kinda glad you are--if it had been about an FPS, then I would've been disappointed, and gaming gives me enough problems.

what tiny heads are you talking about?
