so why are ppl acting like it looks great?

Because it does.

 

[mmafiend]

here's a hint: graphics ain't everything

you can have a good art style, with good grafix. smg come to mind. i really thought this was a ds/ psp game.

There's plenty of great looking PSP/DS games, plus the game is far from being finished.

here's another hint: "looks great" does not always refer to visuals

 

[ethelred]

King Story strikes me as a lot more complex.

In some ways, certainly. But that is not analogous to what Shrimp said, which is that this is like My Life as a King only a full game. For one, My Life as a King is also a full game; for another, these two (though they have some superficial similarities) seem to differ in a lot of ways and offer, ultimately, very different experiences.

You sir are destined for greatness.

In other news on this thread, the all-time high of comparisons to My Life as a King are seen in a striking correlation to those who don't know what they're talking about.

 

[speedpop]

You sir are destined for greatness.

:lol

He already won't touch DQIX merely because it's on the DS.

 

[titiklabingapat]

It still puzzles me that people even compare King Story and MLAAK.

Superficially, they seem the same, but one is a shortened sort of sim game while the other is an RTS.

 

[Linkhero1]

Reminds me of Super Mario RPG

can't wait

 

[ethelred]

...while the other is an RTS.

Er... no it isn't.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

RTS.

FUCK

Er... no it isn't.

 

[AceBandage]

If awesome had a taste, this game would be delicious.

Ah, I love GAF. No, 'f' and 'ph' are not interchangeable.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

I'm getting the feeling that this will be better (or, more fun) than Square's FFCC game on WiiWare...

A full $50 game is better than a 40MB $15 game? Who would have thunk it.

This game has been my most anticipated 3rd party game since I first heard about it and these pics change nothing.

Why my fucking ds and psp so shit

I feel so cheated man..I'm always getting fucking defects.

 

[CTLance]

I talked with the team and I actually can confirm you one thing : the game is not yet planning for a western release...

As soon as the embargoed goes away, I will tell you more about it.

Spoiler

Sauce unknown

Nooo don't do this to me. Please.

 

[Amir0x]

here's another hint: "looks great" does not always refer to visuals

Honestly though, for a Wii game... this is the way to go. It's very appealing in its own, laid back way. Of course, I wish somehow they could apply the filter that is in the animated cutscenes to the actual game. That would be so rad.

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

King Story

QFTW. Really nice. But I hope that they'll implement more complex art design.

 

[Night_Trekker]

This had better make it to the US.

 

[polyh3dron]

I guess gaf doesn't allow for hot linking from that site. :/

It's probably more likely that Famitsu blocks GAF.

 

[Phife Dawg]

Looks great!

Well this better get picked up by someone or else...

King Story strikes me as a lot more complex.

I think the only thing in common between both titles is the fact that you are playing a little king.

What system is this for? Looks like PSP?

More like Colecovision, hur hur.

 

[Neomoto]

Looks awesome. One of my most anticipated Wii games. I'll be there day one if it gets a western release.

 

[ksamedi]

My most anticipated Wii game for sure. I can't wait to see what kind of landscapes the artists dreamed up.

 

[Haunted]

I feverishly await a localisation of this fine video game.

No.

:lol

Looks great. Hope it makes it to the US before the end of the year.

 

[Captain Smoker]

I love it.

Well, one Marvelous Wii game has made it to NA. Now for the other two.

Oboro would probably be picked up by Atlus.
This one... maybe Ubisoft again?

Oboro needs to hope it comes out in Japan before it can start planning for a Pacific vacation.

Are you talking about that Famitsu blurb?
Did we ever get any context for it? Or is it just a case of people overreacting again?

 

[ethelred]

lalalalalala bad news I can't heeeaaar you

Sure, okay.

 

[PantherLotus]

100% agreement. I think it's called the "storybook filter" or something, and I think its the best way that devs can appeal to the harder-core audiences on the Wii. Cell Shading, Paper Filters, Storybook filters, bright colors and great artwork. None of those are directly related to graphical horsepower and can be exploited to produce visually compelling and pleasing games.

Beyond the way this looks, I will say that this game actually looks fun, but I'm wondering how long the adventure really is. Can't wait for more details.

 

[Amir0x]

I'm just a little nervous at that dude who said there is no planned Western release at the moment. I can't read moon language!

 

[PolyGone]

probably my most anticipated game at this point

I'm just a little nervous at that dude who said there is no planned Western release at the moment. I can't read moon language!

well, the official website does have a whole section in English. Why would they do that, if not to entice western gamers?

Spoiler

maybe to make the betrayalton sting more?

 

[AceBandage]

Sure, okay.

When they posted the same thing about Crystal Bearers, I said people were making much ado about nothing, as well.
Just because we don't get news daily, doesn't mean the game is in trouble.

But when the developers say the game is in trouble, that probably means the game is in trouble.

A good point. I didn't know that.

 

[ethelred]

As far as King Story goes, I'd be pretty shocked if it isn't localized. Marvelous is publishing the game in Europe, and their European branch (Rising Star) picks up pretty much everything the mothership releases. And there are a ton of niche US publishers that have a good relationship with Marvelous, and I'd be surprised if none of them at all have any interest in this game.

There is absolutely a planned western release. There is already an english-version trailer floating around here somewhere.

You mean like Doki Doki Majo Shinpan, the game where you touch little girls inappropriately? Can't wait for it's English release!

 

[PolyGone]

is this the one? Its from Jan 22nd.

It looks like they haven't updated the english site, but the Japanese version was updated yesterday.

 

[Dascu]

Didn't they show one of the trailers at GDC?

 

[The-Switcher]

Sweet zombie jesus, that is the coolest dragon ever.

 

[PolyGone]

hey guys, take a look at this. Its a shot from their blog that corresponds to one of the in-game shots famitsu posted, but its a bit closer up. And it appears to have that cool pencil-colored look to it:

if this is what the final game looks like... holy shit.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Wow...I love the style. I love the brush stroke/oil painting effect used. That's beautiful.

 

[Shiggy]

I really hope that Rising Star Games hurries up with the localization. I don't want to wait several years like people had to with Harvest Moon.

 

[JDSN]

Two pages and no one has translated the Famitsu scans?

For shame JGaf.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Natsume might publish it. They publish a lot of Marvelous's games. The biggest being Harvest Moon and Legend of the Riverking.

 

[ethelred]

I'm hoping for Atlus since Natsume does a shitty job localizing and they take about five years to do it.

 

[Father_Brain]

I really can't see this not being released overseas. I wouldn't worry.
