Support NeoGAF

[perfectnight]

Looks like ass but who cares. It's a a dungeon crawler/loot whoring game. If they pack a lot of content into this thing and make it challenging then they have my attention.

 

[Nocebo]

This looks pretty cool. By the way are Japanese versions of games that have multiplayer compatible with us/eu versions?

 

[radioheadrule83]

Due to the low ass resolution most 3DS games remind me of Dreamcast games with added fluff. It's pretty messed up feature wise. Take DOA Dimensions for example, the characters look just below Xbox level, the lighting is more or less Dreamcast like, the DOF and other shader effects elevate it back to Xbox level again while the animations are worse than the PS2 animations.

The best poly performance people are going to crank out of it is somewhere around Gamecube level, with 3D probably somewhere between PSP and GC... but with shaders and effects tacked on games can look way better than Wii games. Which is more than acceptable.

Dead or Alive 3 (Xbox)

Dead or Alive Dimensions (3DS - obviously bullshot resolution + AA, but pretty good account of how it looks)

I disagree that the animations are worse than on PS2, DOAD has great animation at times. The launch software makes a woeful account of 3DS' capabilities, I expect E3 will have some better looking software.

As a concept Heroes of Ruin sounds quite exciting, especially the prospect of the social stuff... hopefully the execution is as good as it sounds.

 

[Dies Iræ]

This game would benefit from some shaders.

Is square-enix london the group that is producing/overseeing this?

looks like it

Dead or Alive Dimensions (3DS)

Nice 3DS resolution

 

[From The Dust]

Feels weird seein SE's name on this

 

[Brad Grenz]

Bullshots. Now imagine it with 1/4 the resolution!

Having trouble deciding whether this or the new Shinobi game is uglier.

This is what DOA looks like:

To be fair it obviously looks better in motion and turning on 3D removes some of the jaggies. The game is quite impressiive for a handheld title but overall the texture resolution is quite poor especially Leifang's dress for example or Hitomi's pants. The lighting is quite 'flat' too. It doesn't run that great in 3D either(it runs smooth without 3D).

It doesn't look anything like this:

The DOF effect isn't visible like that during the action, the hair isn't as detailed and doesn't bend like that and the costume textures are way lower res and to top it off the colors are a bit 'dull' on the 3D screen as well.

 

[EatChildren]

Looks a bit meh, but its colourful, and if it runs at a solid framerate I'll be stoked.

The spotpass/streetpass features sound awesome, as does online. A proper hack and slash dungeon crawler with randomisation is a brilliant match for portable gaming. I'm down.

 

[AceBandage]

Can saying "it looks like a N64 game!" be bannable now? It's just derailing threads with stupidity.

Anyway, it's exactly what I was expecting. 4 player loot whore game. I'm so there!

Isn't backseat modding bannable?

This is what DOA looks like:

That doesn't look any better than Tekken: DR on the PSP TBH. I remember thinking this game looked really good last year.. I guess I was fooled by the bullshots.

Backseat modding: "[User] Should be banned."
Not backseat modding: "Can [lame meme] be banned?"

 

[UncleSporky]

This game looks awesome.

I agree, it's not going to be as zoomed in as these "action shots" during gameplay. The fourth pic is probably most representative of the game.

 

[Truth101]

Looks good, but I always hated the art style WoW uses and this game has the same art style.

Will have to wait till I see it in motion.

 

[Magicpaint]

Wow this looks awful

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Graphically it isn't too impressive, but this looks like it has the potential to be fun. Too bad it isn't coming sooner.

 

[Brazil]

The first game with a real online structure in a Nintendo platform, filled with interesting ideas, and this thread is full of 2000s kids who never played a 64 game in their lives and graphic whores judging 3DS games by zoomed-in screenshots in higher resolutions than the handheld can handle.

Come the fuck on, people. Get real.

 

[Luigiv]

In motion the game looks a ton better then Tekken DR. That's just a really unflattering screenshot.

 

[The Technomancer]

Definitely a strong Torchlight vibe, which is not a bad thing at all. My eyes are on it.

Is this the start of the actual 3DS support?

E3 is going to blow your mind.

there is a trailer on the official site,

[Neo Child]

E3 is in a fucking week. Can i use the n word? Seems appropriate?

 

[AceBandage]

When is the n-word ever appropriate?

 

[linko9]

This trailer is taking forever to download... hope this looks good in motion.

 

[Vic]

It's a teaser, not a trailer. 80MB of bandwidth wasted.

 

[Truth101]

This trailer is taking forever to download... hope this looks good in motion.

There isn't any gameplay in the trailer, just a little tease of black screen and words.

Why do you make a 1080p video that just shows words on a black background.... =C

 

[GameE]

Um that trailer is just a 30 second teaser with no gameplay

Edit: Beaten

 

[DieH@rd]

i'm gonna play as this guy.

Im gonna play as a muddy ground texture. Oh well, maybe game looks better in 3D.

 

[linko9]

Wow, I just downloaded a 80MB logo.

In 3D? No.
At its proper resolution and not zoomed in like that? Definitely.

Very stoked for the potential, but I'll wait to hear more about how the game handles friends and in-game invites before really getting excited. If it's as neutered as SSFIV and DoA, this would dampen my interest a bit.

 

[Pooya]

bah, 80mb for that, I thought there was something in it :|

 

[perfectnight]

Wow, I just downloaded a 80MB logo.

Seriously.. what the fuck is wrong with publishers?

 

[Yoshiya]

Yeah, for a game being announced in 2011 this looks pretty bad. I don't know whether to blame the dev or the hardware, but all I can say is the lack of any software by this point has comprehensively unsold me on the 3DS. Hopefully Cafe isn't a similar miss.

 

[dallow_bg]

Looks terrible of course.

Oh well, will wait and see.

 

[Father_Brain]

I think it looks fine, especially considering that this is how it'll look at actual 3DS resolution (well, minus the AA):

If you're going to judge 3DS games relative to the hardware available on other platforms in 2011 then you might as well write off the platform forever.

I assume that this E3 will be a great one for all 3DS users - lots of games to see, the online shop will be up, etc.


Regarding the game, I am mostly encouraged by the online features, 3DS will host online multiplayer games with ease, at least that's smth...

 

[Yoshiya]

I did. Vita and iOS for me, unless something pretty dramatic changes the landscape. The system's more and more outdated with every passing day, already to the point where I find it hard to justify a purchase when it's been on the market for a few months, let alone years until the 3DS lite.

This might be an amazing loot game, and I hope it is given I love the genre, but I'd be disappointed if a PSP new release looked like this (admittedly the art has a lot to do with that).

i expect 3DS game in 2011 (late) or 2012 to look better than good psp games.. i hope ill have it

 

[Jinfash]

Please edit the title from "Trailer" to "Teaser."

I've been rickrolled.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Interesting game, hadn't heard of it before now.

On the "one to watch" list.

If the existence of butt ugly games made the platform outdated, regardless of great looking game actually existing, you should write iOS off as well, since out of dozens of thousands of games, you can count on a single hand the ones that make the hardware specs any justice.

Actually, the vast majority of iOS games that are actually 3D aren't too far away from the screenshots posted here in geometry and texture resolution, mostly because *surprise* most iOS applications cannot use much more RAM than the 3DS actually has. Most games are also less than 300MBs as well. And at least the characters have actual shadows in this game.

 

[WillyFive]

The graphics remind me of Korean MMORPG's. Looks nostalgic.

Of course, there will always be someone who has no idea what N64 games looked like.

 

[Sword Familiar]

WOW A NEW IP! Looks shitty...

 

[Princess Skittles]

Dungeons? Loots?

I'm so in. I hope there is some interesting StreetPass usage.

iOS lololol

 

[Father_Brain]

If you have already written off the 3DS platform forever, then why are you in 3DS threads?

Exactly. I dread a future in which every "screenshots/trailer of X 3DS game" thread degenerates into a discussion of the platform's specs compared to Vita and other handheld devices.
