Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks the music in this video sounds extremely familiar. I've been trying to figure out what it reminds me of for a little while now but I've got nothing.

d+pad · Sep 30, 2009

I could care less that this game is a bit of a Zelda rip-off. It looks *fun* and that's all that matters to me. Sure would like to know who is going to bring it to the US and when, though...

Nevermind I already figured out where I'd heard a version of that theme before. It's the music for the second level of the flash game Syobon Action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsOZlvZtKt8

Yeah, the original music is from IREM's Spelunker theme, since for that "game mode" (?) you play as the actual Spelunker

wow talk about awesome

this wasnt even on my radar, and was it me or was the game already in english

Parallax Map

Reflection

Normal Map

Frozen Shader

SolidSnakex · Oct 2, 2009

In addition to the world map, From's latest update on the game revealed a fourth playable character. Joinng the Hero, Prince, and Scholar types comes the Ancient Hero. In the game's story, this is the hero of legend who, long ago, sealed away the devil demon Onikis. This was back when Dotnia Kingdom was still 2D.

And closing off today's update, some details on the game's magic system. As you progress in the game, you'll earn the ability to cast "Shader Magic." The examples shared by From today have rendering-themed names like Parallax Map, Reflection, Normal Map and Frozen Shader. You'll have to use these both to combat enemies and as a means of solving puzzles.

sweet .

this game look like the ultimate wet dream for Japanese RPG fans , but it will be shame when it end selling like crap just because it's a non-brand / no name game ( not Tales , DQ, FF ) and not on the DS , I really hope the Japanese gamers open their minds for this game .

Oneself · Oct 2, 2009

I'd say that this is the game of the forever. Forever. I'll grab the first version that has english language in it.

GeoramA · Oct 2, 2009

Really is turning out to be the next Zelda that I was hoping for.

SapientWolf · Oct 2, 2009

Is there a top-down view? It would be interesting to see how much it would actually resemble a 2D game.

Warren Ellis · Oct 2, 2009

i'm almost crying.. best game ever since siren ps2.

denomes · Oct 2, 2009

This game looks so cool.

When the first screens came out I was intrigued, yet skeptical. But now, seeing the videos, I am all for what appears to be an adequate 2D Zelda clone with a fresh retro-chic art style.

I think "homage" or even "parody" is more accurate than "rip-off." The game's plot seems to be a critique of the transition from 2D to 3D Zeldas.

Is there a link to this Flash game Nagakute Futoi Oreo that 3DDGH supposedly rips off? Googling it doesn't turn up anything, at least not by that spelling.

Is it going to be sold at retail or via download?
It's a retail game.

Stupid Q

Can you always save?
You can always save. However, there are restart points. If you save on the field, you'll start back at the previous inn. If you save in a dungeon, you'll start back at the dungeon's entrance.

Japanese developers please please please learn how to fucking make fucking save points in the fucking dungeons in your fucking RPG games.

Can you edit maps and stages?
You cannot edit anything except for the main character.

:/

Can you exchange data with others?
This is possible by exchanging the edit data in your save data management folder.

so I guess that mean we can exchange characters via gamesaves *hug PS3 sharing gamesave feature*

How big can the giant swords get?
Depending on the sword, the size extents change. Some can get so big that they fill the screen.

:lol

That would make dungeon crawling simply a save-point-rush thing. Rush to the save point and do wtv you want without fear since losses are minimal. (I'm betting this game also restores health after a wipe out.)

Ranger X · Oct 3, 2009

WOW WOW WOW WOW how I did not see this game before?

This is now my most anticipated title!! This looks brilliant.

If this doesn't come in America there is no God

jiggle · Oct 5, 2009

lots of new info
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/10/05/3d_dot_game_heroes_screen_grab/

confirmation that the game has screenshot feature
4 camera angles
custom character can only have 7 colors max
and the guy even made Atelier Rorona with it :O and took screen with the screenshot feature

Gomu Gomu · Oct 5, 2009

I see the game already has English in it. This is good news.

slaughterking · Oct 5, 2009

No, the game has no English as far as we know (expect for a few phrases in the menu/HUD).

Threi · Oct 5, 2009

this game looks freaking amazing.

my mind is blown.

I don't think all the text is in english actually... if it is though, I'll order it ASAP.

BTW, they thought of everything in that damn game, I love the "old school Zelda" view !

remember this game is not Sony's :lol or SEGA game

all Fromsoftware games this gen got published in North America

Armored Core: For Answer + Enchanted Arms + Tenchu Wii all published in NA by Ubi , Tenchu Z and Ninja Blade ( published in NA by Microsoft ) , Armored Core 4 ( published in NA by SEGA )

also the two game developed by them like Chromehounds ( SEGA game published by SEGA in NA ) or Demon's Soul ( SCEJ game published by Atlus in NA ) , so overall so all their games ( their IP or just developed by them ) this gen went to NA.

Dead Prince · Oct 5, 2009

i like the over the top view but man the water is terrible really.

Sceren · Oct 6, 2009

I'm pretty sure I would force myself to learn Japanese if this doesn't get a US release.

SolidSnakex · Oct 6, 2009

For people in Japan

The wait for Silicon Studios and From Software's retro-themed RPG 3D Dot Game Heroes may not be as long as expected. While the game is still due out on November 5, players willing to make the trip out to Yokohama will get an early sampler on Saturday (10/10).

From will put the game on playable demo at the Yodobashi Camera near Yokohama Station. Visitors to the shop will be able to sample the game from 9:30 to 21:00. As From did not have a Tokyo Game Show booth this year, this will be the first time the game has been playable for the general public.

The official site updated with some new songs

http://www.3d-heroes.net/main/

Track 2 sounds like something straight out of Castlevania. And Track 3 sounds like an old RPG battle theme. They seem to be doing a fantastic job with the soundtrack.

iratA · Oct 9, 2009

Holy crap track 4 is the stuff of legends. Hype x1000 I so want this. Any chance we'll see an english version port NA/EU before the end of the year?

SolidSnakex · Oct 9, 2009

Highly unlikely since it's October and no one has announced that they've picked it up. I wouldn't expect a US release until the middle of next year at the earliest.

iratA · Oct 9, 2009

Thanks Snake... this makes me sad panda

But damn this looks and sounds so fresh. I must have this! From Software you have a new fan.

damn, they're all good. Track 3 is my favorite

I think it sounds more like megaman than old RPGs though.

Amir0x · Oct 9, 2009

After Demon's Souls, From Software has my goddamn attention with this shit.

OnPoint · Oct 9, 2009

Is this due for release in America?

speedpop · Oct 9, 2009

I'm really trying so hard not to get too hyped by this in case it plays like utter shit. I mean, we don't really know whether the developer themselves are good or not.

But I can't help but feeling that I will be playing this game endlessly. I said it before months earlier in the thread that this was like Dragon Quest having a baby with Legend of Zelda and it's true.

LiquidMetal14 · Oct 9, 2009

The music on the site is so good. Track 2 does have a Castlevania vibe. Fuck it sounds awesome, I'm listening to it now for the first time. LOVE the 8-bit sampling.

Track 3 sounds more like Contra/Action game kinda music.

SolidSnakex · Oct 10, 2009

Anoop is at the demo event for this game

Holy Zelda, the dungeons have this awesomely retro feel. They scroll like the old Zelda.
