WayForward and Adventure Time gives me sufficient levels of excitement

 

[AceBandage]

DS makes me sad.
RPG+Wayforward makes me drool.


SO CONFLICTING!

Spoiler

Will buy anyway!

 

[Maedhros]

The DS is certainly better designed in my eyes.

 

[jonno394]

Top down Links Awakening style game would be amazing.

 

[Zomba13]

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

 

[storafötter]

This will be cool, but I will say that Adventure Time was only good halfway season 1. Most of the reused gags and jokes ended up becoming old and way too similar. Season 2 was terrible (even if it got better towards the end). However the source material allows for different type of games so I am optimistic.

 

[Vampire On Titus]

yeah and i have the perfect plot for a regular show game:

mordecai and rigby want something cool, but can't have it because it would take work. everyone else at the park tells them to knock it off. then they discover a solution, and things are totally awesome. suddenly it turns out that the solution had a downside... a SUPERNATURAL downside. mordecai and rigby, with outside help, stop the threat, which ends up leaving them in a bigger mess than the outset.

Oh snap! A reductionist oversimplification that makes something seem poor/formulaic after ignoring the nuance and detail of the actual plot/specific episodes! lol Seriously you could do that with everything ever. You mean there's a conflict and they try to solve it? No way.

I think Regular Show's great, even despite it being a somewhat obvious cribbing of what I consider to be a better animated series, one of my all-time favs: Angry Beavers. Cribbing is probably a strong term, RS does have it's own style, but the influence is clearly there.

I don't know if I like AT or RS better, but games for both would be sweet. I wouldn't necessarily think of a rouge-like RPG Tower Defense thing for an Adventure Time game, but thinking about it now it'd probably be sweet.

I just want the right genre they'll allow way-forward to show off it's awesome 2D art/animation skills.

 

[Qwomo]

oh my god yessssss

 

[The Technomancer]

WayForward? This could be extremely amazing or just pretty good depending on if they approach it like one of their regular licensed projects or if they put the energy and creativity into it that they devote to their own works.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

they need to combine that animal crossing/tower defense and mount & blade idea and make something magical with it

 

[Divvy]

This is great news to wake up to. Wayforward and Pendleton Ward is going to be way hot.

 

[faridmon]

I don't have a single clue about this show.

 

[Maedhros]

Am I the only one thinking it can be the Shantae of the new generation? It fits the bill, since it's coming when the DS is already ending (probably will end after the Pokemon game).

 

[Omegasquash]

Would like on 3DS. Would like VERY MUCH on 3DS. Would be willing to wait for a 3DS version, and hope that it wouldn't just be an upscale.

But am smiling.

Edit: And let's not forget:

 

[Emitan]

You guys have obviously not played

 

[Jaffaboy]

Mhmm I caught that. Your posts wreaks of stealth advertising.

Spoiler

;P

Ooooooooooooh!

 

[TheCongressman1]

Can't take it with you if it's on consoles.

And? I don't give a crap, man. I want a huge Adventure Time game.

 

[Skilletor]

I will buy this and play it on my DSi XL. Much mirth will be had.

 

[Deleted member 284]

While I understand why you used that licensed game as an example, a game boy color game might not be representative of their work. Especially since they made a recent Aliens game last year for the DS.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Yup, totally going to get behind this with Wayforward making it.

 

[TheOGB]

In an alternate universe somewhere, Capcom still makes cartoon-license games and they made a Samurai Jack game based on Strider.

This post actually made me depressed

I was saying its awesome. Because its a good game.

 

[mollipen]

what
shidoshi why

It's well known how big of a DS fan I am. The more games I keep getting on the platform, the happier I am.

 

[TheCongressman1]

It's funny, the past few weeks I have been thinking of posting a "Would you want an Adventure Time Game?" Thread. Seeing this news last night was the last thing I would have expected.

So, while we're waiting for more news, let's talk about what we would like to see from this, and hopefully future releases.

What I'd like for this game: While 3D style gameplay is doable on DS, I assume they will go with a sidescroller. Hopefully it will be metroidvania style. Some RPG elements would be nice, but no need to go overboard.

What I want to see in future releases: To describe it most easily, Elder Scrolls and Zelda having a baby, maybe with a pinch of Minecraft. I won't go into much more detail because I'm sure you get the picture.

 

[The Boat]

Differential!

 

[Poyunch]

If it's polygonal 3D it might scale better on the 3DS. But it'll look like ugly DS 3D. :/

 

[Fuu]

Happy this is on DS since I don't have a 3DS yet, lulz. Love me some Adventure Time, hopefully it turns out fun.

Is this done by Wayforward?

Why would it be 3D?

It's almost like TV shows follow a pre-defined format or something

 

[cartman414]

It's well known how big of a DS fan I am. The more games I keep getting on the platform, the happier I am.

The DS will get less and less attention (and shelf space) as time goes on, and Pokemon aside, new games will likely be overlooked and/or underprinted.

 

[Gameboy415]

I love WayForward.
I love Adventure Time.

Put them together?

ALGEBRAIC!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

hey man I like RS too but every person I've spoken to who watches a bunch of eps for the first time comes away saying "wow that's funny but they're really formulaic aren't they"

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yeah, it's valid. Especially when its scheduling buddy is AT and that just does whatever the fuck it wants. I just don't think it really affects the show too much, it gets great kinds of crazy without that formula hindering it too much. (Actually, my favourite episode might be the British taxi episode, which doesn't really follow that formula as strictly as the others, which might contradict me a bit, but ho hum)

Probably means you can't watch a load of them in a go, but that's standard for cartoons in my experience.

 

[Skilletor]

Have they done anything but sprite based games on DS? Honest question.

Nope.

Watched every episode in a 2 day span when I first got in to the show, there are a lot of episodes that don't even adhere to broad formula. Even with it, there's a lot of room for different scenarios, to the point where I wouldn't even think to call it formulaic. No more so than any other cartoon I've watched.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Nope.

The only other 3D games they've done is LIT on the WiiWare, and some centipede game, if I remember. Can't remember if that was on DS or 3DS.

The plots of RS ARE waaaaaaaayyyy out there as well. My main issue with RS is the characters. I just don't find them half as interesting.

Centipede Infestation - 3DS and Wii, actually.

 

[Father_Brain]

Nope.

Actually, they did American Dragon: Jake Long, Shrek: Ogres and Dronkeys, and Galactic Taz Ball, all of which were polygonal.

But I don't see why this wouldn't be sprite-based. DS is still an odd choice for platform at this point, though.

 

[Skilletor]

Nope.

Well then I rephrase my statement to:

It's Wayforward on DS. Why would it be 3D?

 

[cartman414]

3DS doesn't have to mean 3D. It can also mean even better looking 2d.

 

[eXistor]

WayForward? Bought.

 

[Shig]

Am I the only one thinking it can be the Shantae of the new generation? It fits the bill, since it's coming when the DS is already ending (probably will end after the Pokemon game).

Overhyped and not very fun? I hope not.

 

[Busaiku]

Eh, not feeling the hype right now.

 

[Clydefrog]

Am I going to have to steal a DS now? Yes.

 

[TheCongressman1]

I've been playing this for the past week or so:

I found that texture pack and I've been slowly tweaking it to my liking.

 

[Data West]

The only benefit I could really see out of it being on 3DS is more room for voices.

Also, it could be doing the Contra style top screen/bottom screen.

 

[StrikerObi]

I cannot wait for this. Only way it could be better is if it was DoubleFine with music from Anamanaguchi.
