****, they changed artists. Game ruined for me.
It's not that I like Cavia but their artist is amazing and I was really hyped about it before.

So Cry-On is another Microsoft RPG, as I said many times although jarrod wanted me to put it as a 3rd party RPG 
wow at Blue Dragon localization, I can see it doing VERY good in France, Spain, Italy and such thanks to Toriyama + Dub in our languages.

Did the publisher also change from AQ Interactive?Kurosaki Ichigo said:So Cry-On is another Microsoft RPG, as I said many times although jarrod wanted me to put it as a 3rd party RPG

Dunno, I meant its Mistwalker+Artoon again.jj984jj said:
Mistwalker could've just wanted to work with Artoon again after working with them on BD and AQ allowed them to do so, we don't know if they handed the project to MS or not since neither developer is owned by MS. Basically this is all possible and it still could be AQ's project.Kurosaki Ichigo said:

Actually I forgot Artoon is also part of AQ. Who is going to publish this outside Japan? I still think this is a Microsoft exclusive because of Mistwalker and so a Microsoft game since they own Mistwalker...jj984jj said:

There hasn't been any media released on ASH has there? Blue Dragon and Lost Odessy looks great, if ASH is getting released soonish, how come we haven't seen anything?
Wow. Cry On was on my list of must haves before, but now its seemingly responsible for bringing Kusunoki back into games design majorly...wow. Mistwalker and Artoon have pretty much cemented themselves as my new favourite developers after Yoshi's Island DS, Blue Dragon and now this. And if Sakaguchi is so excited, I can't wait to see a real joint project between them both, originating with a Kusunoki idea.
Artoon and Mistwalker are independent studios. This game was announced by AQ Interactive and as duckroll said it's still being published by AQ Interactive in Japan. It currently has not being announced for North American but I'm sure someone will bring it over.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
All we've see are the three screens from when it was announced, though no gameplay IIRC (but I think they said the scenes fit into the normal gameplay or something).Thunderbear said:
Aside from Square-Enix, we don't seem to have much of an idea of what is coming on the DS this year beyond March from anyone (not even Nintendo).

I don't see what's so great about this new guy, he's done nothing but be involved in games I don't like. Of course the same is for the other guy but at least his art was good.

Isn't AQ Artoon+Cavia+Feel Plus? Its not like AQ is outsourcing the game...jj984jj said:
Now Mistwalker, I don't get you or duckroll, its funded by Microsoft... aren't they supposed to be included in Microsoft Game Studios Japan?
Mistwalker to you is like Level 5 for example?
Kurosaki Ichigo said:
It's not funded by Microsoft, it's not a part of Microsoft Game Studios. In fact, Mistwalker is not even a game development studio, they're a planning studio with a VERY small staff. Microsoft merely wanted to fund two major RPGs with Mistwalker doing the planning. The actual game development of Blue Dragon is 100% Artoon. There isn't a single programmer working at Mistwalker.
duckroll said:
not true. MS didnt want only to fund 2 games from them. this entire generation, mistwalker is going to make games for xbox 360 only as home console. for handheld, MS doesnt care.
and from the relationship this is going, i wouldnt be surprised if mistwalker didnt continue to make games exclusive for the next gen xbox
in fact. these 2 are getting along together to the point they annouced Blue dragon is going to be a series and not just one game.
so i expect a sequal for it by the end of xbox 360 or for the next gen xbox

Then sir I have been deceived all this time because thats what I have heard since it was announced.duckroll said:
Going through your explanation, like Level 5 just with oursourced programming, could SCE approach Mistwalker and fund a project from them for PS3? I highly doubt it.

Ok. Nintendo has closed with Artoon's bad development and now they develop for Microsoft. Cannot wait to see the result !
Nice news all around... I'd love to read the Inafune and Itagaki bits as well...
I did read somewhere that a bit of the Itagaki story says that he's working on a "new action game" that I'm guessing is NG2... if if it's another action game that's being made on the side, that would be nice too since NG2 has already been announced to be in development and isn't exactly new...

You are very confused, which I can understand since it's a very confusing set-up.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
AQ Interactive = New publisher established in October 2005 (mainly to publish titles by Artoon, Cavia, and Feelplus [though not restricted to titles by these studios]), has a number of titles in the works but they own no developers AFAIK.
Artoon = A third-party development studio made in 1999 and has worked with Microsoft, Hudson Soft, and Nintendo in the past but are mostly known for their relationship with Microsoft. They have recently been working with AQ Interactive on Vampire Rain (just released in Japan) and now Cry On. However, they are free to work with other publishers like Microsoft (on games like Blue Dragon) and Nintendo (on games like Yoshi's Island DS) in the future.
Cavia = A third-party studio made in 2000, they are fairly huge but have mostly been noticed for the development of the Drakengard titles with Square-Enix.
Feelplus = A fully owned subsidiary of Cavia, they are even located in the same office. A new studio made with Mistwalker for the development of Lost Odyssey.
All of the above are part of the Nakayama Renaissance group, though aside from Feelplus they all operate independently. And lastly though it seems to have been cleared up:
Mistwalker = A studio Sakaguchi established when he left S-E, but nobody cared until they announced their partnership with Microsoft. They are not part of Microsoft.

As long as the flow of quality games for 360 is consistent in Japan, it can continue to carve out a nice niche. Dead Rising--> DOAX2 --> Blue Dragon --> Lost Planet --> Gears of War --> what's next? There's gotta be potentially good to great games coming out every month or so. Did winning 11 come out already? Fuzion Frenzy is an OK release, but stuff like VF5, Armored Core, Lost Odyssey, etc. are needed to help the 360 image more.

I liked the old Cry On artstyle a lot more and this new concept art doesnt look very good but i still have hope for the game and i hope it doesnt disappoint.

Hype +10,000,000
Seriously, Kusonoki's design plus Sakaguchi's general whatever he's doing will make this game rock.
Also, I thought Feelplus were part funded by Microsoft.

Looks like a pretty sweet project. But did anyone notice any similarities between this and SotC, or is it just me. It still looks pretty cool.
I've posted this on the Blue Dragon topic a few weeks ago, this is from the credits booklet:XSamu said:
Main credits: 32 people (also credited elsewhere for the most part)
Voice actors: 39
Microsoft: 18 (marketing and also audio/art/game design)
Mistwalker: 9 (marketing/vp)
Artoon: ~300
Music: 15
Recording: 7
Sound: 8
CG (Robot) : 3
Story Unit ufo table: 5
CG Unit Shirogomi Inc: 45
Jet Studio: 7
Live Company LTD: 9
Sunny Gapen LTD: 3
Print: 3
Test: 13
Microsoft Games Studio: 39
Microsoft: 11
Microsoft tests: ~60
Artoon did all the grunt work on Blue Dragon except the CG cutscenes.
Most likely it will be the exact same thing for Cry On. Mistwalker doing the overall design (except the main graphical designer will be from Artoon) and planning.
Works for me
Great news! I hope MS will have a new press briefing in Japan soonbloke said:

Duckie, you really think LO is going to come in the middle of this year? Weren't you the one who was saying that LO needs way more time in the over after that demo playthrough?
Otherwise, I'd agree.

You don't know what this game is partly about right? They claimed it was going to be like a Miyazaki movie so art IS important.

Can someone tell me the concept for Cry-on? I remember reading of it a few months ago -- something about crying (as the name implies) and making the user....feel certain emotions.
I don't know what I think of the art. It has a definite SotC feel, but it's too early to judge. Only several pictures have been released....
