Keyboard icon?

GET IN

Online confirmed ? Why else do you need a keyboard ??

 

[Skilletor]

That swimming pool/city area looked awful.

The rest of it looked damn amazing.

 

[onilink88]

Well the first town looks disappointing to me. Seems more like a scifi setting than a high fantasy/steampunk one of Colony 9.

I don't know if you've been paying attention, but this is a sci-fi-themed game, with hints of fantasy - a return to form for Takahashi.

 

[Machinehead]

This seriously looks like four completely different games.

And that just makes it that much more amazing

I'm dumbfounded. I have no words for the Direct today, with this, Splatoon and Majora's 3D.

 

[Anbec7]

We need a demo!

 

[MicH]

Well the first town looks disappointing to me. Seems more like a scifi setting than a high fantasy/steampunk one of Colony 9.

That's because this is a sci-fi game. Did you not watch the earlier trailers?

 

[Benzychenz]

Not sure I like the New LA angle. So we're going to see present day architecture instead of architecture belonging to sentient alien species? No Frontier Village or Alcamoth?

Yeah I was disappointed when they showed every area in the game.
Think they even spoiled the ending.

 

[Tathanen]

There's actually some crazy LOD stuff goin on in this gif:

Check the rocks on the sides.

It's just one town. The towns in Xenoblade were varied.

Quick and dirty

that 3rd part where he's jumping over the fence reminds me of the Sims...

 

[Zero²]

That building looked really detailed xP
Anyway I'm so happy we are getting such a high profile RPG, specially one from Takahashi xD

 

[NotLiquid]

The game is straight up beautiful.

I haven't seen a game in a long time with visuals of a world I want to explore so badly, and the game actually letting me do it. In awesome designed mechs no less. I haven't finished Xenoblade yet but goddamn.

 

[squall211]

This is the one game that makes me jealous that I don't have a Wii U.

I can't justify buying one...but I really hope this ends up selling well.

Just was looking at that, keyboard text chat, person voice chat?

I see off tv play too

 

[Prototype]

The way it was worded makes me think New LA is going to be the only city.... I hope not.

I was too busy looking at the Giant Naked Beast to notice a rock

But it's been known as a sci-fi/fantasy game for a while now. Alien world, space ships, etc.

now I have to fix my X

Yeah, the guns and mech suits were a giveaway. I mean I like scifi, but scifi JRPG is new to me.

Last year's E3 trailer showed that off.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

now I have to fix my X

There's going to be a lot of X fixing for us gaffers it would seem. Anyone have a clean version of the new X?

 

[Astral Dog]

Fuck Xenoblade X, where is my FFXV?

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

looks gorgeous, hugely improved from the last showing...

but UGGGH the return of xenoblades absolutely fucking dreadful questing.

 

[Xord]

Fuck Xenoblade X, where is my FFXV?

Ask Square.

 

[Delio]

Keyboard icon?

GET IN

Yeah I noticed the keyboard on my second viewing. All the hints of Online.

Get that global hit game!

Nice that Xenoblade X is getting some attention in Japan (assuming that's trending in Japan list). If Xenoblade X (and also FFXV) succeeds, maybe we'll get more ambitious RPGs in the market in the near future, especially if the Japanese audience starts to get into it.

 

[Feichaw]

Fuck Xenoblade X, where is my FFXV?

In development

Spoiler

hell

.

 

[Dice//]

Last year's E3 trailer showed that off.

The only thing that bugs me about Xenoblade X stuff this ...eugh, this year (I hate following a game so early on), is that we've basically ONLY seen that one beach/plains area and none of the stuff from the initial trailer. I hope that changes soon; certianly the most amazing thing about Xenoblade 1 is that it DID keep changing

 

[Hypemaster]

Fuck Xenoblade X, where is my FFXV?

???

 

[SolidSnakex]

Ha yeah it does. You can see the dome in the background though. New LA is going to be HUGE.

It just sorta stuck out given how everything else looked like a natural upgrade over the original Xenogears

 

[Seik]

Holy shit, this will be so good the time it'll come out.

 

[CerebralTiger]

I think Iwata mentioned something about doing certain missions with friends.

yea, that was probably what kept me playing after the quests and combat had just bored me, each new area was fascinating

Xenoblade is 6th on the JP list

 

[Palculator]

Man I really want to play Xenoblade Chronicles now in preparation for this, but physical copies of the Wii version are super overpriced and I already have a 3DS so I'm hesitant to buy the new one just for this...

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Fuck Xenoblade X, where is my FFXV?

We got a brand new video showing the world map a few days ago.

Unless you were being sarcastic.

Okay I admit I haven't been paying too much attention to this game since its first reveal, but this looks proper ace.

I'm guessing now that it has a concrete release period (in Japan at least) they want to stay away from scenes later in the game.

Didn't the early trailers of the game had some form of live chatroom of sorts? See the lower left box here:

Nice. The official Twitter account has also gained more than 2k followers already.

"Fuck Xenoblade X"? then wtf are you doing in this thread?

 

[paolo11]

This is GOTY contender (MGS V, Arkham Knight)

 

[Scoops]

Monolith did it on their first try Square....

Terrific.

 

[onilink88]

Quoting for new page:

 

[Ooccoo]

I dunno. Of course it looks gorgeous but playing as a nobody in New Los Angeles (wtf) kinda ruins the story for me. The characters are generic, dunno if I'll be able to "connect" with them like in the first game. Can't really know before we have the game.

I get serious PSO vibes from the game world and monster design.

 

[Cow Mengde]

The colors look more vivid compared to all the other previous vids.

This is a misconception. Having gone through all of the available footage thoroughly, the time of day and weather affect how things look; the color palette hasn't changed.
