Not expecting Bayonetta level of combat, but I haven't even seen Viewtiful Joe level. And if you're making a 20 hour action game, you better make the action work for that long, or the pacing goes to shit and draaaaaaaags on(Okami, the game that never fuckin' ends)

 

[Kouriozan]

Honestly? People worried about the gameplay on a Kamiya game (based on a IGN hands-on)? HONESTLY?

Heh
We got some impressions from GAFer and there is nothing to worry about, gameplay-wise.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

There s dodge offset and pudding parry, pretty sure there is enough combo potential.

Okami's pacing issues always stemmed more from the endless dialogue than anything. I always thought the game itself was fun all the way through despite being rather simple in execution and like 50 hours long. If it told its story in the same manner the paintings they took inspiration from do (ie: with little to no words) the game would be even better.

As for TW101, if it's truly 20 hours long, I'm sure there's a lot of situational variety to justify that length. I'm just personally not expecting super combo fest '98. Though I'd be fine with that too, y'know, whatever.

Plus, if each character has their own morph (or even 1/3 of them), it'd get pretty complex no?

What are the morphs we know of?

Gun
Sword
Hand
Hammer
Chain
Whip

Any others that are confirmed?

 

[Hoodbury]

I'm still a bit confused on the number. Are there actually 100 separate heroes that are all different, or is it just the main 7 that are in the OP's image and then the other 93 are just civilians you pick up along the way?

I would guess so, no way they have a hundred unique characters :b

Some utility and defensive ones: Pudding, spring, bridge and ladder.

The "other 93" are Wonderful Heroes too, if you recruit them they'll stay with you.
Apparently they have some abilities or something like that, but you really only control the 7 main Heroes.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Nothing they showcased have made me think, "Ok, this is gonna be an awesome action game!", outside it's superheroic style and those QTE gifs everybody will be quoting from now until the end of the world. If Hideki Kamiya wasn't attached to it, I'd be less interested based on the gameplay videos and demonstrations I've seen so far. It's also such a weird little game with a weird control scheme, there's no immediate game you can compare it to.

It's like the pre-release of Michael Mann's "Public Enemies" in my head right now, it all sounds really cool and looks superficially cool on the surface, but the actual product...eh, the verdict is still out on that one.

Well the Ninja is using some a pair of vega's, maybe they morph into that.

and The tiny kid has a 3ds like device, maybe his attacks are technology oriented or game oriented. Maybe he will be this games 9 volt, make em morph into video game stuff.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Meh. More of the same. Been there, done that.

I just noticed that the Ninja's helmet has the Chinese character for 100 on there...

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Btw we need a master photoshopper to put all of our avatars on a W101 weapon for the OT.

What we NEED is to "Wonder-eyes" our avatars with W101 masks!

 

[.la1n]

It looks fantastic. Kind of bummed about the lack of online multiplayer, that would have been nice.

 

[Chû Totoro]

I wouldn't worry about gameplay knowing who's behind the game (not counting Nintendo may have looked a little into the dev so they could have help with ideas for best use of GamePad capabilities).

Also like it has been said IGN is not the best source for impressions. I personally think that they may take a challenging and precise gameplay for something not really good simply because they don't manage to succeed in some part of the game.

Oh shit.

 

[Aostia]

Oh shit.

Wonder-shit!
Btw, Okami pace flaws were due to the genre (vast exploration, somehow bland) and the dialogues. W101 is a more straight to the point action game (with fresh ideas for combat, super attacks and environmental interaction)

 

[Nyoro SF]

I accept any and all attempts to Wonder-eyes my avatar. I think it would look appropriate, somehow.

 

[Lunar15]

Has it been explained why it's "wonder-eyes" and not "wonderize?" I mean, if they've got a reason, it's cool with me, but if not it's kind of bugging me out.

The game looks so good. *Hugs Wii U*

I think that: you are a Wonderful Hero only if you wear a mask. Masks cover your face and highlight your eyes.
So: Wonder-Eyes!

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Wonderize

hehe

It's 'Wonder-eyes' for some reason.

 

[granabanana]

Played this at eurogamer. Had no idea what I was doing...and I still fucking loved it. Day 1

Where does the mask go?

Also happens to be Japanese Kanji

I like Platinum so much that I will buy this game day 1, even if I don't plan to buy a Wii U until december

 

[69wpm]

I made a TW101 mask, use it as you wish for your avatars:

 

[javac]

When you put it like that...fuck. The Nintendo onslaught begins.

 

[StreetsAhead]

They are originally Chinese though. We still call them Roman letters and Arabic numerals even though we use them to write English.

Took the liberty to make the background transparent:

 

[bobbychalkers]

Awesome footage, was hoping to see more of Wonder Yellow, Black and White but its all good. Really hoping that female villain ends up as the 8th Ranger or something haha.

我知道了，學中文是我的愛好. However, I wasn't stating you were wrong, I was just stating an additional fact more relevant to the game and its development/origin.

Thank you based Kamiya. This game caught my attention since the first day they showed it and I'm sure there's infinitely more to the game than meets the eye and I caaan't wait to get to discover everything.

Game of the year, folks. Let's call it a wrap.

Let's not get carried away here.

Something about the enemy wonderful one reminds me of Berg Katse...I'm all for more Gatchaman references of course.

 

[Frodo]

Awesome, please make mine )

 

[Boss Doggie]

Let's not get carried away here.

Considering how most GotYs are given to "presentation over gameplay" games... yeah.

In a perfect world this would be qualified as one.

 

[Krev]

I like how this game features Joe and Dante.

 

[Frodo]

I like how this game features Joe and Dante.

And Bayo <3

I like how this game features Joe and Dante.

And it seems like Unc Dante no less.

If for some reason ( for now I am calling him wonder black) wonder black is like riley from the boon docks.

All mah money

 

[marc^o^]

You're too good, thanks! I'll keep it for launch day

 

[Odinson]

So ready for this. Day one! Can't wait to see the other wonder powers.
