Capcom announces E.X. Troopers for 3DS/PS3 [Website and trailer online]

Aokage

Pretty nice guy (apart from the blue shadows thing...)
Almost positive the character design is by Bengus/CRMK/Cheese Gouda.

FUCKING SOLD.
 
Eh?

So they took MT Framework 2.0...

Enabled the SF IV Post-Processing Shader...

Grabbed all the assets & gameplay mechanic scripts from Lost Planet...

Added a new anime character & called it a new game???


Global economic austerity is really doing new things to Capcom right now huh?

Since you seemed to have played the game, tell me. Is it worth buying?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Looks very nice, clean low detail art style should lend itself decently to the 3DS low res screen, less shimmering and stuff.

It looks speedier than LP2 too.

It might not look so hot for PS3 though, in high res you can notice low res jagged textures, like on that red VS close up.

And the ice/snow stuff could have had some fancier shaders on both systems surely. They made it flat on REvelations too. I mean, even the Wii had some nice shimmery stuff for the ice in Monster Hunter Tri. Something lke that but more toony would work.

Er, isn't what you describe including the fact most of the models appear to be new already more different than the usual sequels that use much more similar engines and art styles and have even fewer gameplay changes (this looks a lot speedier to me, not to mention the potential structural changes, I imagine the school could be a hub that you choose missions from or advance the plot via JRPG style interactions). I mean, what else would you call this if not a new game? Did you notice it having the same levels and the same story so that you'd call it an anime remake of LP1 or LP2 or what? The cel shading is nothing like SFIV's either.

Oh yeah I remember the hub world and rpg like exploring in it from Lost Planet.

You're so wrong here, so very wrong.

Not so random if you think. I mean, Imagine if 3DS was the lead platform. 3DS is the best selling plateform in Japan. PS3 is the second one.

I agree but I'm quite surprised by the lack of a 360 version.
Or, better: I'm scared by this absence because could be a bad sign in terms of western localization.

Maybe the design :p
I mean, right now, all I'll say is speculation, so don't take it as fact, don't punch me :p
Maybe USA doesn't like much animated design for action shooters. And 360 is the best selling console in USA so... that's it :p
Even if I rather see this game 3DS exclusive, because I think that exclusive games use more the consoles specifications.

It's obviously PS3 footage, I can't believe why anyone would think otherwise.
This.
I think a lot of people will be disappointed when the 3DS version footage will come out and turn out to be a lot worse.

Yum.
I like that design a lot.

Yeah, watching the trailer, I think this is 3DS footage base... but I think it's possible to be wrong too, because I'm sure the PS3's game's base WILL be the 3DS game, so I'm not sure the PS3 game will look markedly better than the barren/low poly environments and characters we have in the trailer already. It's definitely going to be Tales of Graces F-type visual quality on the PS3.

Ok, cool character design and all, but...platform snow boots?
Inspired by geta I think:

Geta (木屐/下駄) are a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resemble both clogs and flip-flops. They are a kind of sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. They are worn with traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono or yukata, but (in Japan) also with Western clothing during the summer months. Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due to their extra height and impermeability compared to other footwear such as zōri.

I'm surprised anyone would think that. Only thing that looks good in this is the models, and they don't even look that good if you take a closer look at the screenshots. Very low poly to be a PS3 game, not to mention the low resolution textures on the clothes.

I mean, look at the backgrounds. Aside from the nicely cell shaded models this is almost PS2 level stuff. The IQ is what is probably throwing people off.

I don't know why people think this was a PS3 trailer. The graphics are pretty bad for a PS3 game which consequently looks pretty OK for a 3DS game.

This is going to be the same case as Sengoku Basara 3. Built for Wii, upscaled to PS3 with no changes besides resolution and framerate.

Ding ding ding. The PS3 version will likely just be a higher resolution 3DS game with better AA and maybe framerate. So it makes sense the they would take screens and footage from that if it is available. Ultimately both games will probably look very similar.

It looks that way because the PS3 version is nothing but an up-port of the 3DS game. Similar to Sengoku Basara 3 or Graces f it's simply running the game in higher resolultion with additional effects such as AA. The Ps3 port is low-budget, so much is obvious.

At the same time what we see in the trailer is too clean-looking for a 3DS game. You won't see it on your 3DS screen witht that amount of AA and the character shaders won't look as good either.

Maybe I'm wrong and the game actually looks better on the PS3 but I very much doubt it.

I like the levels are cel shaded too, often only the characters are and levels are just brightly textured to seem like it.

Here there are ink outlines in them where appropriate etc. At least I noticed them in the snow, not in the above pic.

What IQ are people looking at, the youtube is like 360p, what's the vid res on the site?

Obviously people don't think the 3ds will gain 1080p in the game, just talking about the assets, polys, shaders, texture quality...

Much like any ps360 bullshot isn't constantly pointed out, people just go "looks good" or "bad" or what they think outside the res/aa.

Or like you just said it's the ps3 version, not bothering to mention "but in lower res" as none of those images are even 720p.

I really like the general style, the music and the arcade-like gameplay seen in this trailer. Consider me very interested, games like this one are what I expect from a country like Japan; identity & gameplay. The only sad thing is the lack of support for VITA... what a waste.

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
It seems clear to me that the video is PS3 version, wich is a port from the 3DS versión. Those models and backgrounds are from the 3DS versión, the resolution is from the PS3 version. So PS3 version is a 1:1 port.

MML3 looked clean too and had some nice character shaders.

Looks great. Animation looks rather stiff to me, though. Also, I'm not seeing anything that looks outside the realm of the 3DS' capabilities there.

I'm still bitter zipper girl won.

Yuck. I'll never like that... thing on the right. A sleeve with a zipper on the side held up by a- Is that a belt? I had no idea Nomura had a hand in MML3's character designs. D:

I'll take Teekee over whatsherface any day.
 
Aero's finalized design was much better than what Shinsuke Koami sent in, if that's any clarification. It could have been a lot less interesting. It also could have been the frontiers-girl design instead, but Japan decided everything for the Western Devroom back in those days.

How did you come to the conclusion that the resolution is from the PS3 version when the video is 360p?

Looks like dreamcast game imo from the trailer

-environments are is empty,bland lifeless,flat ground textures and flat blue texture to represent winter environment.
-texture are very blurry up close in the trailer just look at the mecha scenes and enemy face closes up yuck.
-animation looks very clunky just look at the character moving around the evirmoent and those shooting sections.


ex-troopers_2012_05-17dkw0.jpg

even in the best screen so far, just look at those flat textures on the character models for coat.
 

jufonuk

not tag worthy
how rpg heavy would you say this game would be?
compared to all out shooting? and if so I wonder if the combat will be in real time?

really want another TPS for 3DS to justify my CPP buying choice.
 
I think the trailer looked kinda terrible. I still like the anime designs and such, but the actual gameplay looked pretty boring and stilted. Still, I hope some new information about how the gameplays will make it more interesting.

Really? Because I was one of the people who actually voted for Aero, and I hate the finalized design every bit as much as everyone else does. Either one of the females for EXT is a considerable improvement over that.

- This game is Mega Man Legends 3 reborn, from gameplay "vibes" to chara design

And i quote from another user

- This game is fucking hype
- This game is 10 to 1000 times better than Lost Planet 3 of War

So Capcom, while you must die for cancelling Legends 3, I love you for this, this is way more LP than 3 is.
European release please.
