Well... that looks incredibly shitty.

heh.
You probably liked the Double Dragon reboot by wayforward as well.
You have horrible tastes, you're the last person i'd suffer calling me a "fool" for not subscribing to their delusions.
You tell yourself whatever you want, but TMNT is a quality show, anyone who has actually watched it will tell you the same.
And Double Dragon Neon is one of the best beat 'em ups ever made.

These guys are prettier
Keep it old school and release it on steam and I am there day 1.
yeah guys I'll buy your game if you stop making it right now and do something else entirely
No, I don't like the look of the new cartoon at all.
At least the Double Dragon reboot was a good game.

Looks interesting but they look pretty ugly. See what gets turned out.
Also, new show is amazing. Should actually watch it before bashing it.

well... it is going to be on steam. so there's that.
outside of the turtles, some of the character art is downright tragic (snakeweed, fishface, dogpound).

That actually looked pretty decent from the footage. But there's still lots of room for error.
Ubisoft fucked up the entire license with shit games except for the GBA brawler.
Interested, at least.

I'm concerned that Red Fly went from making good, memorable Wii games to this, they also have a 2.5D Mushroom Men game brewing.
Should've sought after interesting 3DS licensed stuff.

They look like they have the cartoony proportions, but have realistic textures. It looks kind of weird. Just do one or the other, don't try to do both at once.

It's a huge thread in OT about it.
It's a lot better than the 80s cartoon. It's not too adult but they throw in things only older fans would get.
Yeah, they look really bad.
While I can understand them not choosing the style of the new cartoon (even though I've grown to like it), they should have followed the stylized look of the 2007 film or something. This "realistic turtle" look is just ugly, and makes them appear kind of expressionless as well.
I'd love for this to be good. The Nick cartoon is great and has me itching for a good TMNT game. I'm not very optimistic about what I saw though.
The 80s cartoon is nigh unwatchable now. I thought the most recent animated one was really good (with the ninja tournament on another planet...it's been awhile). Is the new show comparable to that?

Nah. New show is kinda like a sitcom. Entertaining at least.

I saw that one coming a mile away..i really wanted it to be good, but the way they were going about it was way out of their league
The current cartoon is probably the best TV adaptation of the property ever, and one of the best written cartoons of all time. Any Turtles fan not watching it is doing themselves a disservice. It's not grim and gritty, but the people making it love the characters and are obviously fans of the source material.
Hell, they practically recreated the Shredder fight in the first issue of the original comic series panel-for-panel at one point. (Quoted for size)
Seriously, give it a shot. I have a hard time imagining any old school Turtles fan not finding something to love about it.

2K3 series is the best incarnation. The new toon is pretty good though.

i don't know what it was about the picture that was posted earlier in the thread beneath a bad grab of the new game, but the pics you just posted actually piqued my interest..if there' are enough oddball enemies and fisticuffs i may get on.
It's fantastic. Not just a great TMNT show, but a great SHOW, period. It's genuinely funny and clever, with a lot of references to us old timers.
Turtles in time, anyone?
And can be quite badass too.
No shortage of that whatsoever. I had the exact same reaction to the art style, but my girlfriend made me try watching a few episodes and I was hooked. It's just the right amount of balance between new stuff and nods to the classic material.
Did you see the 2003 series? I thought that was best adaptation of the original stories (and had some dark material at times too - including Shredder being decapitated).
Anyway, just saw the trailer to the new game - so far looks really good. I hope there is some sort of co-op play allowed on the same console though.

Nice. I had no idea it was any good. I'll definitely check it out.
Jesus...was that 2003? I feel old as fuck right now.

Those turtles look so bad. If they had the same artstyle as the show, I would not even hesitate to buy this.
I'd recommend it, even though it's something decidedly different. Even though the 2K3 toon (pre-Fast Forward) still remains my favorite at the moment, I'm enjoying myself with this new toon.
Plus, LH is awesome, and comparable to his role in the 2K3 series.
I did, and I liked it, but I felt it didn't bring enough new to the table. The great thing about the current show is that it's its own thing but is very much in touch with its roots. And Mikey is hilarious.

This game looks more in line with the early 90's film.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I really liked TMNT2K3's first season and then it started a non-stop journey into TOO WEIRDSVILLE and never stopped until stuff like an internet cyber-armour season pushed it past the point of no return.
So early days for the new toon, but hopefully it keeps things a little more grounded than what the other toons fell prey to.
I also never particularly understand why C-tier studios without the best ever texturing and modelling staff don't learn to love and embrace cel-shading rather than struggle to take obviously cartoony concepts and REAL-WORLD them. With TMNT2K3 games, thats what they went for a lot of the time and it was good and like the show:
Who knew! Cartoon characters look good as cartoons!

Judging by the likely budget, I have a very hard time believing they can afford Sean Astin. Stranger things have happened, though.
