COME ON ATLUS BRING IT HERE NOW...just don't change the boxart and name of the game please...

What the Japanese call 'dot art', we call 'pixel art'. I wouldn't be surprised to see the name changed to '3D Pixel Game Heroes' or something. (I think it would be a good idea, actually.)

 

[dallow_bg]

Seriously, it's starting to bother me. I love most of it so much but why the hell are the ground blocks so shiny that they reflect like mirrors? Hopefully it looks nicer in motion than it looks like that.

It is but one one of the evils caused by the Mayor's decision to make the world 3D, too much bloom and other effects!
Save the princess and restore your world back to 2D!

Its not just Japan that uses the term dot art.

There are differences, one is digital and one isn't, although in the case of this name pixel art would be correct.

I can't believe I'm posting this but he's talking about using the phrase to describe it in the digital sense.

 

[hie]

I'm so unbelievably hyped for this game. I'm pretty sure I've had dreams just like this in my youth.

:lol

Eh, some of them have a marble style floor. Outdoor ones aren't like that. Really weird complaint -_-

 

[mujun]

I looked at the latest Famitsu, the sword looks pretty stupid if you ask me when it gets like 20 metres wide and 100 metres long.

Why couldn't they just have weapon upgrades.

[Animation-Imp]

Imported the moment an english version is released...

 

[Thunder Monkey]

I want to make a character that is a giant sword, so he can hold another giant sword with his sword hands.

You just blew my mind man!

 

[onken]

http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/1227293_1407.html

That is fucking mental. I need this game.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

hahahaha

You can be a cube :lol :lol

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Wow, you could spend just hours alone creating your character like that.

 

[Furoba]

This looks awesome, release in 2 months too.
<3 From Software.

 

[Danne-Danger]

How did I miss this?

Looks downright amazing. Such a refreshing style, it's almost hard to believe it's for current-gen consoles.

 

[Hypereides]

Man I really hope this game hits the big time.

hopefully Japan is nostalgia tripping when it gets released.

 

[HunkyDory]

Damn, I really hope that we don't have to wait too long for this one.

Everything about it looks amazing - especially the Zelda vibes that it's giving off.

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

150k new PS3 owners prepared for this game's arrival. Hopefully they do not disappoint us!

Character editor is above and beyond the call of duty here. Looks incredible.

 

[Freak]

Seeing that editor reminded me of this neat little time waster

Some interesting ideas for a character. OMG you could make a car or this:

:lol

Think it'll be pretty funny seeing what people make.

[SaitoH]

Colour me impressed.

 

[SappYoda]

Someone has done 3D Dot Game Heroes default Hero :lol

[∀ Narayan]

I lurves me that logo, mostly the use of the vine plant.

The US cover art better be this awesome.

 

[Link1110]

It reminds me of that one fight in Persona 4. That was one of my favorite game moments of the past few years, so I'll definitely get this.

 

[eXistor]

God this game is looking better and better, right up my alley.

 

[∀ Narayan]

It reminds me of that one fight in Persona 4.

I really need to play Persona 4 so I can know what you guys are talking about.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

*character creation*

http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/1227293_1407.html

So, does this mean the characters are most likely going to slide around vs really "walk"(since you can't really designate where your legs are) and how do the sword animations work when you can design your own characters, possibly with no arms?

Just random questions :lol The more we see the more curious I am about how it'll all come together in movement.

 

[DangerousDave]

I need character import-export, and be able to get any character that other people do.

 

[OatmealMu]

I won't buy this game if it doesn't have per-pixel hit detection.

 

[Septimus]

Can't wait for the expected TGS blowout on this title. From <3.

 

[Quixzlizx]

http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/1227293_1407.html

:lol :lol

I'm going to end up spending more time in the character editor than playing the game.

 

[TreIII]

YES. YES. YES. YES X 100.

Honestly, the only thing I could say is that really, I was expecting perhaps Nintendo to do some thing like this, with Zelda. Ah well, their loss.

As much as I love the idea of crafting my own chars, I wonder if you have as much say-so in designing weapons and properties too.

But yeah....November 5 is going to be awesome...

 

[elrechazado]

can we lock and bury this thread so I don't have to be constantly reminded that I can't play this yet?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

can we lock and bury this thread so I don't have to be constantly reminded that I can't play this yet?

Or until some footage/trailers hit!

 

[onken]

Man a shareable dungeon editor would just be an unstoppable barrage of win.

 

[Jasoco]

This might be it. This might be the game that makes me buy a PS3.

For the PSX it was Crash in 2000, for the PS2 it was Katamari in 2005. This could be the game that gets me to finally get a PSTriple.

But I still have to see a video. Do we know what kind of battles it has? Are they real-time like Zelda? Or self-contained? I don't assume they're turn-based like DQ.

It is coming to the US I assume? Is there a date?

From the screens it seems pretty clear it is going to be very similar to the classic Zelda games, just in 3d.

 

[bafflewaffle]

all games should look like this

Not too much of a spoiler, I don't think:

[Majmun]

Lol, I can be a box? :lol
Awesome.

Character customization looks fun.

 

[Forkball]

If I ever get this game I am totally creating Link.

 

[distantmantra]

Someone mentioned a rumor that Ignition and Atlus were interested in localizing it. That's it. No official word. No release date.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Fucking awesome, FromSoftware is kicking all kinds of ass these days.

Not too much of a spoiler, I don't think:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eerGy_aJP9c

Meh. I'll just wait until I play the game. I don't know much about P4 anyway. It's all intentional, of course.

 

[EXGN]

A co-worker of mine talked to Atlus recently about publishing the game in the US, didn't seem like a very positive response. Pretty much told him they weren't working with FS on any other projects(outside of Demon's Souls)... I'll see if I can dig up the e-mail.

3D Dot Borg Heroes

it's almost hard to believe it's for current-gen consoles.

One thing I've noticed over the years since we've moved to 3D ... lighting and shadow effects look far more impressive when using 'simple' assets. This delta is particularly notable when comparing something with complex textures versus something without.

Edit: http://kyucon.com/qblock/#/1462 :lol :lol

OMG :lol :lol :lol

 

[speedpop]

I hope this will have a good camera system.

 

[Dante]

Damn, Still no trailer yet?

 

[Log4Girlz]

Cool editor, hmm, think I'm gonna make me a cock monster.

You can draw each of their animations in edit mode so I'm thinking you could have a lil fun with their walking poses.

Shame if true, this game is right up their alley.

Well, I guess I'll cross my fingers for Ignition then. They seem crazy/sane enough to do it.
