New Dragon's Crown trailer

Does anyone know anything about this really? It really does look like a very stock beat 'em up, which would be a curious design choice after the great balance of action, adventure, and RPG in Muramasa.

Does anyone have any actual details as far as what the gameplay is beyond basic brawler stuff?

What a sad title. :/

And oh, awesome trailer. If I buy the PS3 version, will I get the PSV as well? Or should I buy the 2 in 1 pack to get that? And how do I get that artbook?

EDIT: it seems buying PS3 version does net you PSV version as well.

This is much better than the grotesque monsters they're calling women in dragon's crown. When it comes to DC, it's as if the character artist was an alien from another world, who read in a book about what humans find attractive in females and tried to concoct it.

The archer is an okay design, good lord I can't stand that anorexic witch or the mega buff barbarian gal.

I think I will love this game to death but my god what are they thinking when they set that price tag?! It's like sending the game to die. It would be even worse if it is indeed the price for a ps3+vita bundle unless they also offer separate SKU for each version.

Man, they are really on another level from pretty much everyone when it comes to 2D artwork. And to think this game will be displayed in HD resolution?! I don't even care if this game feels clunky and stilted like the usual Vanillaware fare. I'll be there Day 1 with a handful of cash.

It's nice to see some of the setting and world in this trailer; You get proof that all the main character designs are DRASTICALLY EXAGGERATED compared to the "normal" people in the world, from the ones who are actually alive (such as the queen and king), all the way to their statues and arts (which show pretty "normal" people).

This is what Beat'em ups are at their best, people. While other games were making big boss sprites that were large and well animated, BEM's allowed us to PLAY those sprites, as actual characters. DC here basically makes Odin Sphere and Princess Crown-style boss designs into playable characters, and, due to this, steps the boss designs up another notch in terms of size and exaggeration.

Setting aisde the characters for a second, the stages are looking very nice and varied. An octopus destroying a ship at sea, walking through deep catacombos with knee-deep water, fighting outside of old temples one minute, and along lava-lakes the next... they really seem to be going all out.

I'm glad we're getting the D&D Collection (hopefully?) before this... it'll hammer home how much of an homage this game really is to that series, which should really make it all the more fun.

Wow

Vanillaware hit it out of the park with the art, and realizing that this will be in HD on the PS3 and displayed on an OLED screen on the Vita means it'll be damn impressive. I love the variety in locations and bosses they showed. I love that there's a brand new beat 'em up game coming out in 2013.

Looks gorgeous, but so did Muramasa and in the end it was an extremely dull and repetitive game.
I wonder if this is going to be any better.

I absolutely adore the absurd proportions on these characters. Very bold! They've been pushed to the absolute limits of regular taste, which is something I wish happened more often in entertainment media.

The continues to look fantastic. But they went overboard on the breasts. I love breasts as much as any guy but its they're ridiculously huge on most of the female characters.

To be fair it's not strictly a "breast issue"; everything and everyone in the game seems to have deliberate hyperbolic proportions.

Hmm. Looks interesting. Have to see more assests before I decide to shoot from the hips. Butt my Vita needs new games so I'm sure I won't be rear ended from the quality.

I think I'll buy the collector's edition, if there is one, and the digital copy. This game is the reason I bought a Vita last year, after all.
