You know, I think I can buy "redrawn." An upscale/filter wouldn't look nearly as clean, and there's more detail in the higher res sprites.

True, whenever I think of HD filters, I think of characters coming out looking like featureless clay putty-men. Yet, when you look at the Noise monsters in particular, you can still see plenty of detail in their fur and stuff (e.g. 1, 2, 3). The only ones that really look filtered are the NPCs in those crowd shots.

 

[Hot Coldman]

As I and many others have said, SE is not in the business of giving you the things you want.

It's weird, considering neo-Eidos seem very much in that business... :lol

 

[Meccanical]

How is SteeloDMZ handling this?

 

[Hedja]

Graphics looks like they just ran a SuperEagle filter over the sprites.

They made a god damn countdown site spanning 7 days for an iOS port. What kind of troll marketing team did they hire this time?

That guy on Twitter sounded like he knew what he was talking about, I guess he didn't.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Why the vitriol? People seemed excited when Ghost Trick and FFIII came on iOS.

iPhone and iPad would do justice to lots of overlooked DS games.

 

[Seda]

duckroll actually understands how Square Enix operates and, like all people who do, expected iOS from day one.

I talked to him when the teaser went up. I know for sure!

I'm not being completely serious.

 

[Haunted]

Looks like people really hate TWEWY.

 

[slaughterking]

Who was excited for FFIII? I wanna see that guy. lol

 

[Nirolak]

Everyone, everyone, remember the chart!

It will help with all future countdowns.

So yeah, the only good one now was last 2008. I dunno if you want to count Army Corps of Hell "good".

 

[duckroll]

So are you guys ready to get all hyped up all over again? We have another countdown to attend! 5 days until #13Project!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wow, dat horrible filtering.

 

[hamchan]

Why the vitriol? People seemed excited when Ghost Trick and FFIII came on iOS.

No 7 day countdown for those.

 

[StuBurns]

I really don't see why everyone hates this so bad. It looks pretty, it's giving an exceptional game another chance to see sales, it was almost certainly cheap and did nothing to take away the chance of a sequel. It seems like something no one could be upset about, but alas.

 

[Pietepiet]

Does the world end for real now?

Jesus, this is really sad...

 

[heringer]

Am I the only one buying this?

 

[Pooya]

people wish that's for iOS too

 

[Meccanical]

Hell yeah, I fucking love Lightning she is such an awesome and deep character, a role model for women all over the world!

Spoiler

That hurt to type

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Everyone, everyone, remember the chart!

It will help with all future countdowns.

Why have I never seen this?!

It's perfect!

Also, what category does KH go in in that chart?

 

[outunderthestars]

If the whole release/countdown thing wasn't insult enough, I just checked the App Store here in JP, there's no LITE or demo version to actually see what the game is like before purchasing it. Probably typical for SE iOS releases, but good lord are you just going to drop 2000 yen based on screenshots? lol

Wait for a review or two? It is not like the DS version had a demo either.

 

[Goli]

Am I the only one buying this?

I wanna buy it but the listing doesn't mention iPod Touch 4 compatibility ):.

 

[Codeblue]

More like sarcastic duckroll.

If this thing bombs, kiss TWEWY goodbye 5eva.

It's a catch-22 pulled from Capcom's playbook.

You can bite the bullet and show support for the series which would get you more crap you don't want.

You can decline and show that you don't like the direction it's going it which would be misinterpreted as not having interest in the series.

I'll be picking up the album at least.

Choo Choo

Spoiler

That's going to be a hilarious day

 

[Nirolak]

That one is probably a 100-200+ employee console game.

Can't have too many people working on things that might end well!

 

[Kagari]

For what it's worth, this is probably the iOS title Nomura mentioned he was working on back in May.

 

[PK Gaming]

Does the world end for real now?

SE, Let this be lesson for you.

 

[Lord British]

This looks pretty good to me!

 

[Seda]

Probably because of the countdown, which really seem targeted at fans of the DS game. If this was just announced sans a week long tease, I think reception would have been a lot better.

Although there'd still be plenty of angry gaffers.

 

[Nirolak]

Why have I never seen this?!

It's perfect!

Also, what category does KH go in in that chart?

A lighter version of the middle one judging by the reactions to 358/2, Re:Coded, and somewhat to KH3D.

The KH3 part goes in the first one.

 

[wanders]

Sweet can't wait to play it! Although I'll get it when its a lil cheaper.

 

[electroplankton]

I really want to know how it's played on the touch screen.

 

[EDarkness]

Am I the only one buying this?

I'll be picking this up when it is available on the U.S. store. I can understand the disappointment, but that won't stop me from picking it up and enjoying the game again.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Dislikes are now at 1183. LOL. I was dislike 1092.

 

[watershed]

So is this pretty much the end of TWEWY IP then? It may be petty but I hope this sells like shit.

 

[raven777]

Am I the only one buying this?

I am getting it, but just waiting for some reactions. Also deciding if I should go for ipad version or iphone version.

 

[StuBurns]

At this point, if you get excited about a countdown that isn't tied to a public event, you're getting yourself burnt.

 

[Glass Rebel]

This is me right now:

Will get on a sale but now I think I really need to find my DSiXL and a copy of TWEWY.

 

[Akkad]

If it wasn't for their western PC efforts, SE would be a fucking joke to me. The Japan part is still a fucking joke though.

 

[raven777]

has anyone actually bought it? curious to see how battle plays out

 

[SykoTech]

How is SteeloDMZ handling this?

Haha.

SteeloDMZ, are you okay? Post if you're okay.

The KH3 part goes in the first one.

;_;

 

[Boogiepop]

Pretty amazing that their new features section appears to include a number of features that were already in the game.

 

[grimshawish]

So is this pretty much the end of TWEWY IP then? It may be petty but I hope this sells like shit.

Well if it sold great it might do well...the problem in the industry is theres a bunch of middle managers out-right lying. In the end the iOS version flopping will be sold to their higher ups as a problem with the franchise and not the strategy.

Expect some "The fans loved it but there just weren't enough of them" lines.

Am still hopeful for an eshop version then maybe the sequel one day...not holding huge hope...I just would like it to happen.

 

[Kurod]

I've never played the DS version. This looks rather interesting. I think I'll pick it up for my ipad once the price comes down some.

 

[jokkir]

What's the chance that this gets released on Android in the near future? I know Square has released some games on Android like FFIII and whatnot.

Spoiler

Does this count as port begging? >__>

 

[heringer]

I am getting it, but just waiting for some reactions. Also deciding if I should go for ipad version or iphone version.

Yeah, this is what I'm wondering too... Fuck, they should just make the iPad version Universal.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Right next Versus XIII

 

[raven777]

the file size for ipad version is 589mb, but apparently once you install it its 2.3gb lol

 

[Entropia]

I am disappointed with this, but uh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
