New Fragile (Wii) characters and screens!

Character designs don't jive with the atmosphere of the environments. I'll have to wait to see if the contrast is thematic or if it's an annoying incongruity.

I'm not really seeing the "wow" here you know. The lighting is looking worse and worse, which is really worrying. Just compare any of the earlier screens where there's no UI, with any of the newer screens with UI. The art direction is really interesting, but I'm not feeling the game at all honestly. The more I see of it, the less interested I am in it.

Really? The game still looks incredible. I don't know what's up with the lighting, but in some shots it doesn't even look like the flashlight is on.

It's from tri-Crescendo and the Venus & Braves team. It's going to be good. Too bad their publisher sucks.

IDK about. I myself fond the early screens "Interesting" but the hard light of the FlashLight gave me the impression that it wouldn't really have the "feel" I was lookng forward to.

I prefer the newer screens to the older ones like in this case. .

Wat. The character designs fit perfectly. As for the lighting, get hyped for The Conduit instead if you like that better, lol. Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about that. The older shots are still there and many of the new ones look as good as them.

Also, I demand the content of the official site and the developer blog to be fully translated! (p-please)

The protagonist fits, the enemies are ridiculous. I'm not sure what exactly the gameplay is like, but I imagined the game being mostly exploration and some sort of mystery solving--not "ZOMG JELLY, ZAP WITH MAGIC."

I already wondered about them. The shots with enemies in them where a little strange. I don't quite feel the fighting in this game yet. That half-bodies are somewhat creepy, though. Hopefully, the enemies will appear at the official site.

Nice shots! Although, it has finally occured to me that all shots thus far have been 4:3. I really hope this game is 16:9 (why the hell wouldn't you be 16:9 in 2008?!), but I'm getting the feeling it won't be.

Really hope this turns out to be a good game.

I'm wondering if the flashlight doesn't lose power the more you use it, as it would in real life (batteries winding down and all that)?

Anyway, looks great to me. Will pick this up day 1 if it makes it to NA.

Hopefully not - that will be pretty annoying for a game based on exploration.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Who is actually developing this?

I worry that the screens are touched up or something, that it looks too clean/pretty and will be disappointing in motion

This game continues to look amazing... mark my words: Fragile is going to end up being one of the most fondly remembered Wii games ever created.

Am I the only one who thinks the lack of any lighting on character models is a stylistic choice? I mean, considering we've seen the flashlight cast lighting and shadows on the game's environments, not having those on characters seems intentional. A way to make them stand out..even more so considering they're essentially cell shaded (or have a very flat coloring) in a non cellshaded world

I like the HUD, but they really could have saved space by taking out the vertical "hitpoint" text and moving the health bar farther to the left.

You mean like No More Heroes?


EDIT: Hopefully after FF4, Suda and Co. are creating the next sequel or at the very least another game set in No More Heroes universe.

I'm pretty sure it's not cel-shading (not cell-shading). It's just that the characters are purposefully done in a colorful, cartoon-like style. Much like Dark Cloud 2.

It only hurts more now seeing everything else getting a current gen restart. And I already said that it looks good, but it really shows in the art direction.
