Project P-100 (Nintendo/Platinum Games) announced for WiiU [Director: Hideki Kamiya]
- Thread starter SteeloDMZ
- Start date
I'm pretty sure IS was just published by P*.
It was published by SEGA, I think Platinum outsourced the work.

Yeah, I meant it was done by nudemaker actually. Maybe PlatinumGames did the concept?
It's nothing like Pikmin
Kamiya wants to do director commentary for P-100 "if possible".

He won't be snatched by ninjas, will he?
I don't think there's much co-development there. Platinum Games kinda just helped them get the funding and stuff. Pretty much the entire game was Nudemaker.

As opposed to the fantastic main series Pikmin? No, this is supposed to be better than good.

Not actually that important
He basically gets it right the first time anyway, so it's not too bad and this means we actually get new IPs frequently

just over a minute in this preview kind of sucks because it sounds like these dudes are seriously lacking in gaming knowledge.

"I didn't think Platinum made Viewtiful Joe. I thought they only made Devil May Cry 3, I don't remember them being the Viewtiful Joe guys. I thought that was Clover."
*closes tab*
If you're going to be named GameXplain, knowing what you're talking about really, really helps.
The only one of his games that hasn't had a sequel is Bayonetta.
He just hasn't developed any of them.

I just tweeted Kamiya asking who the character designer and the composer was, he answered by linking me to his Nintendo Ninja tweet. XD
I tried!
I tried!
Isn't there like 2 Viewtiful Joe games?
We don't talk about them (there's 3 of them)
4. You're either missing Red Hot Rumble or Double Trouble (DS).
But the only involvement Kamiya had with the sequels was like script writing for at least VJ2.
Forgot if he was involved with Double Trouble's script too, or not...
I meant 3 after the main game, whoops. Brain wasn't thinking
I meant to say 2 sequels, but even that was wrong!

What's wrong with the ds one (aside from the scratching action, that is)?
Aside from the scratch power, there's the slide one which should have just been mapped to the otherwise unused Y button. Then there's the fact that there is only a maximum of two enemies on screen at once and the changed (worse) combo system to accommodate for that . Also, all power-ups are way to expensive, especially the VFX Turbocharger, and without that thing some of the puzzles can be really tedious. There's also no NG+ and no Ultra V-rated difficulty.
What's wrong with VJ2? I have only played the first one, but P-100 made me want to pick up the sequel (even though Kamiya wasn't involved in the development).
Silvia
I'd argue losing playable Alastor and Blue hurt more than Silvia's new fighting style.
I guess that's a matter of preference. I quite liked the unlockable chambers in VJ2 instead of the additional characters. Don't see much of a point in Blue anyway, and Alastor is just annoying to play as.
Also the problem with Silvia in VJ2 is not just that she's not as fun to play with as with Joe, but she also sucked the funny out of the cutscenes. Yeah, she's bossy, I get it.

VJ2's major problems were the tacked on character switching mechanic that added pretty much nothing (only had to use Sylvia for puzzles as she completely sucked at fighting except for the first phase of the final boss and her Replay ability does pitiful damage) and the complete lack of unlockables (the chambers weren't fun to complete at all).
Rest of the game was good but damn, was a letdown.

I would guess so, too. I didn't care for the chambers, but Alastor was actually my favorite character to play as!
I guess what I was hoping by the sequel (if not by VJ3...*sniff*) was that everybody would start getting their own distinctive movesets and such, so that it would seem less like you were playing Joe with a few differences here and there. Pitiable that much didn't occur until Red Hot Rumble, and by that point, it was a waste.
GamesRada'sr preview video - http://youtu.be/wmCZjzr8l-8
Awesome bit in that at 3:40:
Nintendo representative: "We haven't confirmed any details about the multiplayer, and how people would interact with each other. HOWEVER, we did show a little bit: there CAN be more than one player on the screen at the same time, controlling different groups of superheroes, so there definitely is that, but we haven't gone into details juuuuuust yet, but you never know: pay attention in the coming weeks, since we will be giving out more information."
It's great to hear a Nintendo rep acknowledge the multiplayer seen in the trailer and confirm it's real and that more information will be revealed in the coming weeks.
I recorded a girl playing a couple of sections yesterday in Madrid:

She's no expert, but you can check out level exploration and the already known robot-boss.
By far, the most interesting & original title on offer on this Wii U post-E3 tour. (Have yet to check Lego).

This is probably old news, but I thought I'd post some pics I took of the controls for you guys.
Played the game just yesterday and I want to give you guys my impressions.
Graphics
Despite what others are saying this game looks great and beats pretty much every other thing I played on Wii U with NSMBU being the closest and Batman being the worst (it's worth noting that Arkham City was a very early version).
Like in every other masterpiece attention to detail is what makes the difference. Some Higlights I think are worth mentioning are:
Gameplay
General controls are tight, movement is fast and the guard (ZL) and dodge (Zr) buttons are very intuitive as well as the Jump (B) and attack buttons (X&Y). I had issues with the touch and right stick controls being the the last one the worst. Maybe the sensitivity settings were set too low, but when trying to circle the citizens to convert them in heros I pushed the stick alll the way and the movement of the cursor was as slow as it is when you walk silently on SMG pushing just a little the nunchuck stick. Using the touch screen is a lot more agile, but I made a big circle using the whole surface on the screen and it was represented on the tv as a circle as big as a 1/3d of the sceen height and I ran out of "ink" to continue my circle wich proved a little frustrating. However the general mechanics of charging the most powerful attacks by using the regular ones forces you to think of the way you fight. Same things happens with dodge and guard attacks. e.g. You have to time perfectly your guard to avoid damage and bounce off your enemies.
I could keep talking about all the details, but I don't want to bore you, however feel free to ask any question. The game is great!

Like in every other masterpiece attention to detail is what makes the difference. Some Higlights I think are worth mentioning are:
- Almost everything on scene is polygonal and shaded instead of textured. (even the lines "painted" on the street are 3D)
- The characters look great with little details like their helmets and belts protuberances shown on 3d instead of just a texture
- Pretty much everything cast a shadow and there is even different walking animations for the various characters. However it feels odd that the characters only cast some "blob" shadows. (one cool thing is that even grided trash cans and individual grass cast a shadow)
- Good use of depth of field that even when trying I couldn't note the transition
- Looks like Rock Solid 60 fps and with little aliasing
- You can see detail on the little faces of heros that are like .5cm on screen
- Screenshots don't make the the game justice

Launch window in the US apparently (short of any delays). So, sometime before March 31 2013.
Thanks for the impressions. I'm excited for this game.
