Holy wow awesome yay

 

[Shiggie]

wow, this looks awesome!

 

[Gwanatu T]

Dang that's sick looking. Definitely some sort of crazy simulation/RPG mix, and it looks fantastic. I guess only the Tekki guys could pull something like that off anyway.

In case it wasn't made totally clear, the official site states it's due in 2009 for US, Europe and Japan.

Holy Shit, the DS keeps on getting the interesting RPG's

I am intruiged

 

[bluemax]

Portable + sci fi + rpg + ship customization == something I can get behind.

Ooh and sim combat? This is practically a dream game.

I'm still fapping over this. This is basically what I would have wanted in a Star Trek game if I'd had my way. Is there any indication of whether this will be story-driven or if there will be more freedom, like in Elite and so on?

According to Kouno the game will be largely story-driven as far as the narrative is concerned, but at the same time there seems to be a large degree of freedom in where you can go, what you can explore, how you go about doing things, etc. There isn't much info out on the story but I would think since the entire game design is so inspired by western PC space sims, the narrative flow would be similar too. Nudemaker has ever made a traditional JRPG ever, so there's no reason to expect one here.

Sounds like that's what's up.

Like I said before in other PlatGames threads...2009 will be year that stands to be one where all of Platinum Games' titles will probably get my money. :lol

There's something about this that screams 'Elite DS' at me. Naturally, this is an amazing thing.

I'm actually more excited about this than I am about Platinum's other two announced titles.

Thanks for the screens Sega UK has their website up so it's definitely coming to Europe (if there was any doubt)...

Looks totally fucking sick. Very unique. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Green Tentacle]

Man, I'm way more excited about this game than I thought I would be when I first read the concept. The DS lineup keeps on getting better and better.

 

[jestro]

Looks and sounds aweful lol.

Looks and sounds aweful lol.

GTFO

 

[incendiarycommittee]

Sounds amazing, hopefully they can pull it off. I loved Childhood's End.

 

[Delio]

This game has been on my radar since i heard of it. Seeing more screens just gets my hyped for it. I could see myself wasting time just building a kickbutt ship.

 

[angelfly]

Sounds awesome and I'm definitely picking it up. 2009 is a long wait.
