Postprocessing effects are the only thing that interest me.

awesome thanks!

will DL when I get home

 

[hukasmokincaterpillar]

Links from the other thread. This game looks like all sorts of awesome.

Hell yes. Great friggin' trailer. Wasn't sure what to make of the art style in pics but it really shines in motion with the animation and whatever pp fx they're using there. I thought it was a third person shooter but gameplay seems to be strategy RPG oriented. Kind of got a Ring of Red vibe there actually (in a good way ). Mikey likes it.

 

[antiloop]

Trailer looking good.

 

[May16]

(A few I had kicking around before I knew the name of the game, heh)

 

[flipping_heck]

Wow, the game looks impressive from a an art standpoint, will keep my eye out on this one!

[Zalasta]

Wow, that's a pretty neat and innovative take on the whole SRPG battle system. I'm impressed, thanks for the heads up, will definitely be following up on this in the future.

[antiloop]

Feels like Worms. Just better in every way.

 

[DeBurgo]

This game looks weird. It's like turn-based RPG meets WWII FPS meets anime girls. I think I kinda want it.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Can't wait to see and read more about this game, I love the style. I don't trust Sega much but we'll see.

 

[Davidion]

Loving that art direction, everything looks penciled.

 

[besada]

Isn't there one like this (not the same art-style, but the same style of SRPG) coming out on the 360? Anyway, this looks gorgeous, and will be a welcome addition to my tiny PS3 library as I love me some SRPGs.

 

[Acosta]

The PSN trailer looks beautiful.

That is Project Darkness.

Thanks! That gameplay video was amazing! Not just the graphics, this looks to be a fun game even.

I'l admit I am weak towards srpgs but this looks so fricking promising. They have to bring this to pal-land.

Only thing I can complain about is explosion effects. They look a bit weak. But the rest... Damn!

 

[besada]

That is Project Darkness.

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't conflating two different games.

 

[Vashu]

Conflating?

But seriously, this game looks awesome. I hope the tactical system is good, but since it's from the guys who did Sakurai Taisen (hence the gun toting loli's) I think we're pretty safe on that. And I'll say it again, this looks awesome. Love the artstyle.

 

[besada]

Conflating?

con·flate (kn-flt)
tr.v. con·flat·ed, con·flat·ing, con·flates
1. To bring together; meld or fuse: "The problems [with the biopic] include . . . dates moved around, lovers deleted, many characters conflated into one" Ty Burr.
2. To combine (two variant texts, for example) into one whole.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Best cell shading i've seen this Gen

and that Trailer is beautiful

 

[Dante]

Wow, It's awesome seeing this type of style in motion, like an animated water color painting.

This is definetly on my radar.

 

[Anerythristic]

This reminds me of Ring of Red , remember that one ?

 

[Pimpbaa]

That's grim?

Grim future you say?

Yes grim, you freakin pedophiles.

 

[SaitoH]

Love the look. Definitely looking forward to this title.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Gorgeous art style. I watched the video today, and the screenshots don't do it justice. It looks great in motion.

 

[Kasumi1970]

I hooooope Sega will bring this to the US. I want to play this game in English.

 

[Kasumi1970]

Has anyone played it at the TGS?

1935 you say?

 

[spwolf]

wow at art direction... when is this coming out?

 

[S. L.]

wow
HUGE difference between screenshots and seeing it animated
looks great!

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Ooooh, that's nice

 

[besada]

I finally got to watch the gameplay video. This looks wonderful. Make more games like this. It's a weird mix of SRPG, penciled-animation, and FPS, as you get to aim, zoom in, and blow your enemies away. Do Want.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

wow
HUGE difference between screenshots and seeing it animated
looks great!

Yep, I just watched some of the footage just now and I'm very, very, impressed at how pretty this game is looking. Wow indeed. I also like how it uses the picture/painting to gameplay/cutscene transition like in The Mark of Kri.

[TrueReligion]

Thanks for the screenshots. This game looks beautiful. The gameplay seems unique and fun enough to warrant a purchase.

 

[Grimmy]

No more pencil fuzz??

 

[zoku88]

No more pencil fuzz??

My first thought.

 

[JumpJeff84]

SRPG? Really? Damn, could be the best game ever...

 

[Duderz]

Honestly, I think Eternal Sonata looks far better than this.

 

[Defuser]

Honestly, I think Eternal Sonata looks far better than this.

So what part of different art style over graphics you don't get?

 

[Duderz]

So what part of different art style over graphics you don't get?

Different art style? This looks about the same to me, with just a photoshop filter tacked on.

It doesn't look bad, but I'm just not seeing the praise it's getting. Eternal Sonata's cel-shading looks more appealing to me is all.

 

[Aaron]

Recruitment must have hit the cellar if they're fighting a war with little girls. Couldn't they train some dogs, or a dolphin, or something?

 

[lupin23rd]

Honestly, I think Eternal Sonata looks far better than this.

Except Eternal Sonata looks like (to quote someone else) "strawberry shortcake" and this doesn't, so this wins.

 

[TrueReligion]

Not a valid comparison.

 

[Duderz]

It's awfully late here, so I'm not entirely sure if you're joking or not.

 

[Chromax]

I like the look a lot more than ES.

 

[D2M15]

Nice outfits.

The most vehemently anti-Sony journo I know kissed and made up with Krazy Ken's box after playing the TGS demo, so I'm quietly excited. Then again, they had me at 'watercolour retro-futurist wargame featuring sharp-cheekboned female cast'.
