Here's the announcement trailer from last summer Xbox showcase event:

It'd be pretty cool if Microsoft did just start putting out games within quick succession of announcing the release date. Perhaps would explain why their 400 studios don't actually seem to be getting close to releasing anything.

I don't think I've ever seen stop-motion animation in a game, very unique, and I hope it's part of the actual game's art style. I remember seeing that trailer during the show, and thinking something was wrong with the frame-rate.

I really liked this trailer when it was announced. Hopefully the game comes close to looking like that.

2024, eh? I'm in.

The Deadly Tower of Monsters had some stop motion fun. It also had prop guys in suits. Was a fun game making fun of old 50's sci fi movies with stop motion and special effects.
The running comentary from the director while you played was fun too.

I can see stop motion aestethics, but not really animation style. Looks pretty fluid to me, I guess no one really wants Jason and Argonauts but isn't the point or charateristic of stop motion to see clearly choppy animation?
Anyway, Clayfighter did claymation back in its day.

Doubt it

That's the biggest potential disappointment: an art style in the game that doesn't measure up to the trailer.

Avowed has already suffered from this problem IMO.

The Neverhood (PC/DOS, PS1) and Skullmonkeyz (PS1) had stop-motion claymation. Very good games (Skullmonkeyz is very hard tho).

The trailer intrigued me. Was definitely one of the more notable things shown then. To me, anyway. Hopefully see a lot more of it soon.

 

[Robb]

Cool. Trailer didn’t do anything for me though. Need to see more.

If it was 2024, I guess they would've parade it across TGA.

I don't think its a high profile / budget game to make a big fuss about it.

I'd give it decent odds for MS to do another Developer Direct in January. They got a pretty good reception to the last one.

They usually show nothing at TGA. They focused on casual appeal games only. Hellblade and Blade. There's more for sure

Avowed is 2024, it didn't have a trailer there.

Kojima's game was there, that shit is definitely not 2024.

TGA trailers are irrelevant for date estimations.

The January developer direct was a really good call, I hope they do the same in '24 as well.
