Rules of Nature fits to everything. Even Legend of Korra.

I read in one of the articles that it uses music from the show
Oh great! good to know, thanks.

Great stuff, thanks for this! I just keep getting more hype, especially since I've finally started to watch Korra.
Different mobility for each style is nuts, can't wait.

Thanks for this!
Watched the Rev3Games, gotta love your enthusiasm hahaha
Very interesting to know you can taunt, I wonder what in-game effects it has, or if they just put it there for fun since the button won't be of any use outside of finishers.
For some reason I still think it's super weird to play character action games where the attack buttons are on [] and /\ instead of /\ and O.
Charged attack incresing your overall damage is pretty sick if the system is free form enough to allow for some charge cancels just so you get that little bit of extra meter during a combo.
Even better if it can be used to cancel recovery.

Coming from the studio that gave us Senator Armstrong, seeing them tease the final boss as a highlight for the studio pretty much ensures I'm getting this, and I bailed on Korra after season 1.

Wow, Platinum sure are making a lot of games these days.. But it sounds good, so I'm exited!
It's great that a great studio is allowed to continue making great games.
Now SCE should contract them to do a new Skyblazer.

One more tidbit I got out of them that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere: this game is being directed by Eiro Shirahama, who was also the lead designer on Anarchy Reigns and one of the designers on MadWorld.
Yup! Sounded a lot like the show's score. When describing the music / sfx, they kept using the phrase "based on the show" - whether that means it's actually sourced from the series or just very similar-sounding, I'm not sure.
Yeah, that's exactly how it works - I fiddled with it for a little bit, and it seemed like charging up a strong firebending move and then switching to waterbending before releasing would let me release a charged fire attack before going immediately into a water combo.
I'm not 100% sure whether you can cancel out of charges, but it seems like you can cancel out of most moves by using the right-trigger's dodge move. For example: when waterbending projectiles at enemies, Korra still moves forward like with any other attack, and some of the stages are pretty easy to fall off of - but you can cancel out of a waterbending combo by dodging backwards.
And suddenly a new character action game appears.
This sounds great. Thanks for the impressions! Can't wait to see some videos.
Meh, I saw it mentioned on the Rev3 video.
lol
That's good, but part of me really wants a RULES OF NATURE equivalent.
AM I CRAZY FOR EXPECTING AVATAR OFFSET?
HHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
THE THIRST IS NOW OFFICIALLY REAL
I don't understand how you apparently got to a good enough level to get Platinums but somehow missed the astonishing depth and complexity of Bayo. Did you play Hard? V. Hard? You seem to have unlocked Infinite Climax but are just repeating the same move over and over, are you still getting Platinums by just spamming the katana's charge move? Did you learn about dodge offset or its offshoots?
The mind boggles.

I really wanted an Avatar game like this but with AANG! or Hell give us a different Avatar. I don't want to be going through the shoes of a whiny brat like Korra

Yeah, this sounds great! Just like a week ago I was goshing at the chance of an Platinum-developed Avatar game. Hope it's as good as it sounds. Don't fail me, Platinum!

This my cue to start watching Korra again. I stopped after season 1

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
This was totally unexpected. This is so awesome, and Platinum is one of the developers that seems totally fit to develop an Avatar game.
I kinda wish this was somewhat like Naruto: Rise of a Ninja (as far as the open world) with Platinum Games' action expertise. Baby steps though. I'm more than happy with this!

What constitutes "Depth"? Cuz i thought Bayo was boring as hell. Repetetive encounters, Horrid weapon switching, Way too much time is spent on irregular gameplay segments, systems are poorly explained or completely unexplained, using the trigger to dodge (seriously, never put a timing sensitive action on a piece of shit trigger. Put it on bumper or face button)

My mind literally boggles at things like this. I mean, mostly I'm ok with people criticising things I like because if they explain themselves well enough I'm able to try and look from their perspective and think "Yeah, if you're that person I can see why they don't like x thing" but I don't get the criticism of Bayonetta. If you want a character action game (or whatever you want to call them) and you don't think Bayonetta is the best (or one of, other options are available) then I just don't understand you. It's like not thinking Mario games are good platformers (of the 2D and 3D variety). It's just something I cannot comprehend.
Repetitive encounters in what sense? Like fighting Gracious and Glorious is like fighting base-ass angels, or a Beloved, or anything like fighting Joy, or Fearless/Fairness... not to mention Iustia, Temperatia, Sapientia or Jeanne. Horrid weapon switching? I mean, you just tap a button to switch your equipped set... or are you complaining about not being able to pull out a whip-sword-guns-shotguns without going into the menu? I guess I could kind of see that. Won't argue about the irregular gameplay, Kamiya can't stop himself. Iffy about the tutorial systems, most of the base gameplay is explained in game, dodge offset and item/taunt offset are advanced abilities and imo part of the depth. Nothing wrong with trigger to dodge afaik, the timing window is astoundingly generous, especially once you get bat within.
Depth in Bayo is finding new mechanics after 150 hours of play. It's defeating an entire posse of angels without touching the ground, about fighting each and every verse your way, experimenting, comboing weapons/items/weaves and figuring out how to express yourself through combat, about not getting touched in Angel Slayer at all.

Maaaaaan.
I guess a separate online component might've been a little much to ask for an Activision budget title.

I've been saying Avatar game from Platinum for years. This is my destiny.
Triggers aren't any less precise as far as timing goes. You can still apply binary inputs to the trigger with no noticeable deadzone. The only difference is the feedback.

final boss i some super version of Amon(brought back from the dead)

Ask yourself, are you getting nervous game companies are leaving press out of the loop since they can simply play the game on twitch or use something like the Playstation Blog to talk directly to the people interested in their games?
I really hope that someday Avatar can be made into a videogame that isn't based on the current TV series.
Takes place hundred or thousands of years BSC, you are an avatar (you get to choose your starting elements) who has to deal with a crisis and learn to master the four elements while doing it. Plays like infamous mixed with Skyrim.
I have some hopes for this game, but I hope its not just a brawler with powers. Want to be able to do some notable environments based stuff.

Woah, that's going to rustle somebody jimmies for sure
If there's one thing that platinum games always do correctly, it's the final boss fight. I'm hype for this.

I play all of Platinum's games and will likely play this one.
I guess I should watch the series first, but do I have to watch The Last Bender too?

If the countering works more like rising than bayo then I'm even MORE excited. I love both but I like Rising more because it's counter system forces you to hit EVERY attack back when you're getting razzamatazz'd. In Bayo you kinda just need one good dodge, but in MGR you gotta keep going. don't fuck it up. parry every attack. and don't fuck it up.
Oh, very nice. Anarchy Reigns was fantastic. :-D

That´s how i see it too. As far as i´m concerned if you have blocking in your game, you should do it like in MGR. It´s the definitive blocking mechanism going forward.
Block - Block - Block - Block - Block - Block - Block
Now imagine just holding down one trigger the entire time to block. meh.
Yeah, the blocking in Rising was insanely satisfying. It made sword fights feel like sword fights since it actually felt like two forces were canceling each other with equal but opposite force.

Never seen the show, never will. Still excited about the game because it's a P* action game.

People complain about Rising's parry mechanic a lot but ignoring that the camera in that game is evil incarnate I just love the concept behind it. You're just forcing your way through an en enemy attack with your own and it's reinforced by the input, tapping in the direction and attacking. It's really gratifying.
