Haha...why is anyone saying Batman looks "good". That looks just awful...like a joke version of the game.

I'd have tried the Star Wars game though.

I havent played it in a few years and I remember a few sections where the camera felt a little wonky, but its one of my favorite platformers from that gen. Really fun Rayman 2 style platforming mixed with cool telekinetic powers and it has an amazing sense of atmosphere and scale. The soundtrack is really good too, no other game sounds quite like it.

Rayman 2 you say? I'll look into this game now

 

[Forsaken82]

All of the combat stuff is copy pasted from DMC4, outside of the enemies which are based on ones from DMC1. I doubt there's anything there outside of maybe code and some pipeline stuff they could have reused for FU2. Unless that's what you meant.

Yes. I'm referring to backend development tools that they developed for an action game.

Gotcha. I appreciate the clarification. I've never worked professionally with tech or in the entertainment industries and is just a very basic, amateur developer, so there's a lot I don't know still.

This is based on A FEW WEEKS OF WORK. For something that was slapped together in a few weeks, that's damn good.

 

[ramparter]

I love what they did with the backgrounds in Batman. Looks so comic / anime.

 

[exmachina64]

Who are the people who said you can't do DMC on a Wii?

Capcom.

I wonder if Red Fly are still working with Versus Evil? This page has had the same message on it for at least two years now.

They probably stopped existing in any real sense.

 

[Chinbo37]

I got really excited when I saw X-Wing vs TIE Fighter 2, but then it looked more like Rogue Squadron.

no thank you

Lol same. When I saw the logo though I almost shed a tear.

Woah, Dig Dug looks awesome!
I would have loved to play that game - looks like the spiritual successor to an N64 game that realized that 2.5D can work. A bit janky, sure - but as a proof of concept it seems to work pretty well..

That prototype is running on a Wii, so we should expect GameCube level graphics. It does look good for what it is.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Well all these protos look good for stuff that was pulled in weeks. That's mighty quick and probably nowhere near as optimized as what an end result might have looked like

 

[PR_rambo]

Kudos for giving the ol' college try but

Wasn't meant to be

 

[TheMoon]

LOL at people complaining about graphics and speed on a PROTOTYPE with only a few weeks worth of work. Do you guys really think released games look like that when they are in the initial stages of development?

We all played Mario Maker. We know how real games are made! It's all just a bunch of legos!

Was Mushroom Men any good?

Yes.

 

[Red Devil]

Not being a fan of the original Dig Dug looks interesting, Batman and Devil May Cry look like they could've had some potential, too bad they never came to be.

Loving Dante's face.

Can't stop seeing that for some reason.

 

[wildfire]

Funny that some devs were willing to make games like this but the publishers for these titles simply weren't interested in supporting the effort.

Wii owners would accept their games not looking as good just like they did with Resident Evil and Call of Duty.

 

[chargin' chuck]

I'd be all over that Dig Dug game. Pooka and Fygar look fantastic in this Wii version of America's #1 underground pumping-up game.

A shame it never saw the light of day.

 

[massoluk]

Probably should have make the Batman game celshaded or something, I don't think it looks good.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

The DMC and Star Wars ones looked good.

 

[keidashxd]

The star wars game looks far worse than the rogue squadron GC games... but more emptier also... DMC looks slow and dante's face reminds me of xenoblade's faces... DigDug seems boring but not that bad and Batman I kinda like it... looks like a more classic Batman with that little texture detail.

 

[Claude Augario]

Loving Dante's face.

"Lit's reck, beby."

 

[samred]

I have heard some interesting/hilarious things about these demos. sounds like Red Fly was kind of a mess--and anybody who knew the studio intimately could tell you exactly why, probably in a one-sentence answer.

one thing I heard that was interesting is that this version of Dig Dug was originally going to be a 2D game in which the wire attachment could shoot different kinds of air at enemies, which would make them react in different ways (fire, ice, etc)--and you'd use those to solve environmental puzzles accordingly. might've been a really slick puzzle platformer, but I guess we'll never know.

The DMC and Star Wars ones looked good.

Dante's face really soured me on DMC's aesthetics even though it's an alpha. Overall all 3 games were passable for Wii level graphics. It wasn't going to be the major black mark publishers and non-Wii owners wanted to say would turn off consumers.

Yea no shit a quickly thrown together "hey let us make this" prototype looks worse than a finished game made by absolute Nintendo hardware magicians.

It's like people don't read what these videos are or don't think about the fact that these are prototypes...

to be fair, most people even on here are still clueless about even the most basic basics of how video games are made.
