I'm low-key hyped for this as a turtles fan.

 

[Party McHardy]

Oh my god, this could be REALLY cool. I hope it's handled well. I just read this last year and I absolutely loved it. As a kid, Michelangelo was always my favorite, this whole story made me love him even more, lol.

WTF!

Why ruin the surprise

 

[The Shepard]

Is that a scene from FFX?

Return of the jedi CGI ending which got added in 97.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

A lot of different opinions on this and fighting over GoW. Good. We need a proper non-soylent Ragnarok discussion now the dust has settled.

I still need to read this even though I own the hardcover but hopefully it's better than the last few licensed Turtles games minus Shredders Revenge.

 

[kiphalfton]

Oh... you mean the new God of War.

 

[KungFucius]

Yeah, because those games were total trash.

If something is a big enough hit, it must be shit.

 

[Corpsepyre]

The writing in God of War Ragnarök is shit tier, the number of interruptions in the story and gameplay is excessive, it really is SLOG OF WAR, with shitty soap opera/marvel(which is shit) level writing.

The character of Kratos even devolved in GoW Ragnarök.

To the corner with you.

 

[Fuz]

Precisely my reaction.

Hopefully without the same shitty camera and spider sense.

 

[lughnasadh123]

So a rat and a tadpole reconciling their relationship one pizza slice at a time.

I'm down for it. The new GoW is definitely a good one to be inspired by.

 

[MiguelItUp]

WTF!

Why ruin the surprise

There are plenty of synopsis' out there that just practically mention it right out the gate. So it isn't much of a surprise. Apologies regardless!

Do yourself and read it ASAP, if you're interested, you're doing yourself a disservice. It's not long at all, and has a great flow.

“…set in a future where only one of the turtles has survived.”

Not really. The Last Ronin uses all of their weapons, leaving his true identity as a mystery for a while. The story was written by Kevin Eastman (one of the original creators) and is based on a story conceived by him and Peter Laird (the other creator) in the 80s.

Wow, could be great, the comic is AWESOME,.

not everyone has the same opinion. combat was good and graphics looked nice but there are so many other better influences they could be taking from to make a turtles game.

But wouldn't their main inspirations from GoW be the gameplay and one-take camera style? I don't see them doing a copy paste of GoW's story for TLR considering it's already written and that the final turtle isn't a god. They wouldn't even be using the same writers...

...The more I think about it, the less the 'but the writing was bad' seems relevant.

i never said anything about the writing though.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

We just got an announcement of a darker-themed AAA TMNT game and goons up in here shitting up the thread with their edge-lord takes on popular games.

You hate GOW... Good for you!

Can we get back to talking about how great this TNMT game could potentially be, please?

 

[RAIDEN1]

Shredders revenge was good enough to make me watch the 2003 series, now there's a game being based off of the darker turtles.... fuck yea

I just couldn't get past the fake accent of Splinter, I mean they could have used someone more authentic (talking about the 2003 series)

 

[March Climber]

i never said anything about the writing though.

You said 'combat was good and graphics looked nice', so I figured that leaves one major aspect to criticize. I think that not saying something can still be a way to allude to something else, but I'll admit that I'm wrong if you could elaborate on what aspect of that game left you with the impression that it shouldn't be used as an inspiration.

 

[dezzy8]

I just read this a couple of weeks ago. I can totally see this as a GoW or Arkham Asylum style game.

 

[jm89]

That story premise sounds cool. Always wanted a more darker TMNT world.

Thank you. It had to be said.

 

[Raven117]

The first movie was actually a little dark....It was awesome.

As a kid, I always thought I identified with Leo the most, but...as it turns out....I'm 100% Raph.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

I love how just the name GOW triggers people. Some people can not stand the influence Sony's franchises have had on the industry. Just good ole story telling, gameplay and graphics, and people HATE that....

 

[Labolas]

 

[Bo_Hazem]

“…set in a future where only one of the turtles has survived.”

This kind of defeats the purpose of TMNT?

I honestly never thought they ever died in any kind of media. This only makes it great! Last time I played TMNT game was on Sega MegaDrive and Nintendo Family Computer before it. The new one is shit and I've grown too old to play that shit, same with Streets of Rage 4 that I loved a lot back in the day but doesn't mean I want to play a polished old game now.

 

[Esca]

Huge potential here. Can't wait to see what it in a decent state. Hope it doesn't suck

 

[dorkimoe]

Day mother fucking 1

 

[TheKratos]

I'm not feeling a serious/dark tone TMNT game, definitely not as a story driven/cinematic game like GOW.

 

[DragoonWalker]

Not sure if want.
Never read the comic but sounds like that ol' DBZ storyline where only Gohan survived and has to fight the androids and raise trunks.

 

[drotahorror]

That story premise sounds cool. Always wanted a more darker TMNT world.

When Raphael said DAMNNN in TMNT, 5 year old me in the theatres thought it was the coolest shit.

But yeah, a dark TMNT sounds sick.

 

[brian0057]

That story premise sounds cool. Always wanted a more darker TMNT world.

People think that TMNT is rated E for everyone. This is mostly due to the cartoons.
But the original Eastman and Laird comic (and The Last Ronin, written by Eastman) was dark and violent. A far cry from it's apparent kid friendly appearance.
Hell, it started because the pair were fans of Frank Miller's Daredevil (The Hand, The Foot, you get it).

 

[DelireMan7]

Pretty cool idea. The setting of the comic is great. I found it a bit underwhelming at the end but still a cool one.

Oh my god, this could be REALLY cool. I hope it's handled well. I just read this last year and I absolutely loved it. As a kid,

Spoiler

Michelangelo

was always my favorite, this whole story made me love him even more, lol.

Edit: To me not a spoiler, especially since it's even mentioned in the synopsis in some places, but hey. If people get upset about it...

I was thinking they will keep the mystery for most of the comic but they revealing it in the first or second chapter xD. Miss opportunity for me.

WTF!

Why ruin the surprise

Fair but he has now edited his comment but your quote isn't so you should edit it too

 

[NahaNago]

I'm kinda mixed on this. While I did somewhat enjoy the last ronin I would have liked to play as all four turtles. Plus the god of war thing is a bit odd.

You people just wouldn't give up your plastic straws

 

[Beer Baelly]

Yeah, because those games were total trash.

Last Ronin better be a freaking videogame.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Last Ronin better be a freaking videogame.

It’ll be like Hellblade 2.

 

[norm9]

Sorta like a beat em up in the same vein as the older TMNT (gamecube) and Xmen games? I'm hoping that's what they mean. Make it a four player coop and I'm totally in.

That doesn't sound much like a God of War 2018 inspired game starring only one turtle.

 

[Killer8]

I would rather it took inspiration from God Hand.

 

[dorkimoe]

this would be the first and only ultimate collectors edition i would buy (as long as the game is remotely good)
