Is that last bubble supposed to be a pizza?

 

[duckroll]

Rated M? Looking forward to seeing gameplay for this.

Australian M. Means nothing. Transformers Devastation was also rated M.

 

[TreIII]

I'm not sure what you mean. Platinum is definitely extremely agile in terms of development, but part of that seems to be because these days they don't even have a strict "team" structure anymore. Kenji Saito directed Transformers Devestation, but the team that made it is not the Metal Gear Revengeance team. They're just made up of a bunch of Platinum staff from various projects. Are you sure they're all working on Nier? Is Kenji Saito working on Nier? I haven't really been keeping up...

Ah, I see where I was mistaken. Nier:Auto's Producer, Yosuke Saito, was where I got tripped up on before, where I thought it was Kenji Saito doing double duty. Silly me~!

If so, then I guess that would just make it so he'd only have to possibly worry about being the Team Lead for two projects. Which would seem much more feasible.

 

[Zalman]

I'm pleasantly surprised that they didn't go with the Nick art style. Will be interesting to see how this looks in-game.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I must be crazy---I think that art looks awesome.

 

[Vibranium]

Yeah, the turtles were never edgy:



Really feels like people don't know the source material.

The Mirage comics are legendary, more people need to read them. They get really dark and the atmosphere is great. Fun fact: April never wore a yellow jumpsuit in them. Anyone who has only seen the 80's cartoon should read them.

IDW is good as well of course, love the look that Platinum is going with.

 

[Tizoc]

I wishlisted both vol 1 of the mirage and idw comics
Now to ser if my idiot brother will notice xp

Really hope to see more of this game soon and not have to wait for the nx reveal to overshadow any discussion of it xp

 

[MCD]

I'd love for it to look like this.

Fuck outta here with "terrible art".

I say this as someone who grew up with the 80s cartoon Turtles. Someone who played the shit out of the games, owned turtles pajamas, dressed as them for Halloween, had a crap ton of toys, knew the movies like the back of my hand, had Turtles themed birthday parties where professionals dressed as the Turtles showed up in the Party Van and fought Shredder. The 80s cartoon is one of the worst incarnations of the Ninja Turtles. That cartoon was my world as a kid, but it does not hold up. It's terrible. Every cartoon since has been better and holds up more. The comics are way better. The movies (even the new one) are better. Take off your fucking nostalgia goggles and get over it lol. I get the appeal of wanting something based on that era specifically after Transformers: Devastation happened, but come on. This shit is cool looking.

An insane amount of truth in this post.

Near identical experience for me, just lacking the live actors, haha.

I don't think it is likely at all for them to operate with the same director on two projects at the same time. That strikes me as something they would and can avoid, seeing how they're not afraid to give their staff chances to step up and take lead of projects. If this was indeed developed in parallel with Transformers Devastation, I think it'll likely just be different people working on it.

 

[cantona222]

I like it. Ralph holding these knife thingy looks cool.

*Thumbs up*

 

[GuardianE]

I need to see Shredder and April.

 

[The_Dama]

What happened to Wario64? Does has still post here? Didnt he get a job at GT.com or somehing

 

[JEKKI]

everybody's hating on the art?!?!

that's the comics Turtles, or IDW as many ppl are calling them.

IDW Turtles is incredible!!

haterz jus dont know!!

 

[BocoDragon]

This is close to an ideal TMNT design to me. Slightly stylized; mean... Yet still adorable.

 

[the TMO]

Thank god it's not 80s Turtles. Show ruined the Turtles' image. Turtles can get crazy brutal and it's a shame that the 03 cartoon is the onyl thing that could remotely capture the essence of the comics.

This.

 

[Tigerfog]

Also...you're THAT MNTG Tigerfog, aren't you? Respect~!

Yeah, when I'm not drawing mntg, drinking or playing video games, I roam neogaf. :3

I'm hoping the upcoming TMNT game will be have intense bite-sized levels.
Since I didn't play any of PG's smaller projects, I don't know what to expect in terms of gameplay. Simply hoping for a well executed local multiplayer.
Long live couch gaming.

 

[Platy]

SANTOLOUCO FUCK YEAH ! =D

Also ... I need to read more idw turtles =/

If they can do couch co-op without it jeopardizing the game being the kind of character action game TMNT has needed in years, I'd be all for it. But I'd be lying if the few times Transformers: Devastation actually had the other Autobots fighting alongside your chosen character weren't times I wish they were controlled by pals.

Speaking of MNTG though:

Spoiler

GOOD GRIEF, MAN! POOR RENOIR!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I imagine the game will, at minimum, be a lot like Transformers Devastation in structure.

Hopefully they expand beyond it.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

I need to see Shredder and April.

Shredder is in the background of that image. From the looks of it, he seems to have a scar below his left eye.

 

[MattKeil]

Yeah, the turtles were never edgy:



Really feels like people don't know the source material.

This is TMNT to me. I had the original Mirage issues even before the cartoon aired, and they remain the best TMNT. The show was pretty good, but it's a shame more people don't know the original comics better. If you liked the 1990 movie, most of that story comes directly from the original Mirage comics, minus a whole lot of blood and violence. It's also where the Krang race and the Triceratons come from, as well as Baxter Stockman before he got whitewashed for the cartoon.

 

[KidGalactus]

Terrible art.

You're a (blind) moron.

 

[GuardianE]

Shredder is in the background of that image. From the looks of it, he seems to have a scar below his left eye.

Yep, I see it. Good looking out. I glanced too quickly. Splinter, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady... the only one missing really is April.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah, maybe I am just so used to the 80's style. Most of the new versions look almost like they are trying way too hard to look edgy.

Err... TMNT is edgy, it was born from Daredevil parody that managed to make its own identity

 

[ZiZ]

IDW turtles?! Now I'm interested.

 

[CO_Andy]

The only two good Turtles series worth watching:

80s pilot episodes
Nick series

 

[Muskieratboi]

art could have turtle dicks and i'd still be excited af

It's on my Furaff-

ohwait this is GAF. *walks away whistling innocently*

 

[Boss Doggie]

The only two good Turtles series worth watching:

80s pilot episodes
Nick series

This is why no one listens to your advice Andy!

 

[cireza]

Those designs are really distorted and agressive. Not a big fan of it.

 

[Amalthea]

Is that last bubble supposed to be a pizza?

There were no Pizua references in the early Turtles. Most of the time they actually drank beer. No idea why Splinter let that happen.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

cowabunga motherfucker

He's adapted to moving at high speeds way better than I would've expected.

 

[Pyramid head]

lol like Tranformers?

It could match perfectly the 80's pilot series and opening tone.

It's a Platinum game, it's going to have combat in it. Transformers fought and killed in the 80's, TMNT basically just threw slices of pizza at Foot Ninja faces and made them bump into each other.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

I dont like the baby faces, but could be worse.

I see Shredder, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady and the Technodrome, so i suppose its based on the 80's cartoon in spirit, just with different art no?

Adult April with yellow jumpsuit then?

It draws on a lot of different sources. It has Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang, but it also has Bishop, Hun, Karai, Nobody, the Mutanimals, Fugitoid and a ton of original characters, too.

There's a mystical edge to this series. Splinter and the Turtles were Hamato Yoshi and his four sons re-incarnated as test animals at Stockgen, where April interned in college. Shredder is immortal due to his alliance with a Kitsune Witch, and has been alive for over 400 years. Then there's the hard scifi stuff with General Krang and the Nutrinos. It's a cool take on the series, and is definitely worth looking into.

 

[Cynn]

Please let Dark Leo be an unlockable character!

 

[jormungand]

Yep, I see it. Good looking out. I glanced too quickly. Splinter, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady... the only one missing really is April.

If it's true that the game will end up with Santolouco's art then you can expect that this will be Shredder and April.

 

[Drayco21]

I was only interested in this if it was based on the IDW Turtles, so I'm psyched. I'll probably pick this up at some point then.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Please let Dark Leo be an unlockable character!

Dark Leo and Metalhead Donnie.

 

[brawly]

Who cares about the art, need to see ingame footage. (as far as art goes I like it, but just saying...)

 

[cireza]

I personally prefer this kind of designs.

 

[jeemer]

I love this.

Still love Raistlin, though.

*flashbacks*

 

[Acerac]

If a new game had the original TMNT designs from the comics I wonder how GAF would receive it.

Personally I dig these designs.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I personally prefer this kind of designs.

Amazing! Much closer to the original 80s design.

 

[TropicalFish]

Loves it.

I love every incarnation of the turtles. Even the ones from the recent movie.

Excited for this.

 

[Raitaro]

I'm excited as well, especially if the art indeed ends up looking closer to that IDW style people keep posting. I do wonder though why so few Gaffers have put this (to me, dream come true) game on their most anticipated list.

TMNT!
TMNT!
TMNT!
(80's style would have been cool too...)
TMNT!

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I'd be shocked if 80's turtles weren't an alternate costume or, knowing Activision, a pre order bonus. Would actually look forward to seeing those designs in comic Turtles backdrop. lol.

Hoping there's a bit of Rising this time around. That plus co-op seems godlike.

 

[Muskieratboi]

I want Mirage mode.

Suddenly, Mad-World Shaders!

 

[Foxt3r]

IDW turtles? You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
