@1:01, Is that's his take on the ring dash?

Already posted my comments on the front page.

Basically, I think it is generic niche flying crap. Is that video based on the the 3DS or Wii version? Either way, the graphics suck too.

I really thought this was going to be cool, too.

I think it looks pretty cool.

Best thing Prope has ever done by a long shot at least.

Hey man, watch your mouth! That game where you tap on the screen until the bear stands up is hardcore.

I just watched the trailer without sound at school. Watching it now again with sound I can say, Yuji Naka still has it. Yeah i'm talking about the Yuji Naka behind all those beautiful games we have had apart from just the first few classics.

Yuji Naka is back baby.

The music is actually pretty nice, and i'm not really into that sorta music. Good melody :)

Looks like a combination of NiGHTS and Sin & Punishments. Art style looks quite good, however the character designs are beyond terrible and the cutscenes look really low quality.

Has potential to be good but I am not completely convience just yet, some parts of the video looks cool, whilst others look a bit messy.

I seem to kind of disagree with most of you, I think the gameplay graphics look rather meh but the CG cutscenes look like a lot of fun. I like the character designs and their facial expressions.

Sort of reminds me of Blue Dragon, which I didn't play, but the style I mean. Glad to see Naka attempting to do another actual GAME instead of casual bs. As for its low budget...that's sort of to be expected, it's an indie game.

Considering the low budget, the fact that there's CG cutscenes and (good) voice acting at all is nice.

It sure ain't marza quality haha. The guy has his own independent studio now so i'd say let's cut the guy some slack. There is also a good thing about limitation which is that they have to pushother aspects to higher levels to make the game apeal. I see some great things in that trailer. That last part remenisnt of shadow of the colossus. But the best part is just how great they translated the feel of flying through the air. It looks really apealing.

I honestly think i'm gonna love this game. The game certainly doesn't look like a cheap title(in the sense of effort), it actually looks really impressive imo.

i like what i saw but i am still confused about the control scheme, i know the game is supposed to be played with "remote only" but after watching these footage i still don't understand how the control actually works! need more explaining videos ...

Lots of good looking not-SEGA games coming in 2011. This, Child of Eden and Project Draco look great! Shame SEGA isn't attached, but it's great that nearly every article about those games open with a SEGA mention. I know SEGAbits won't be covering them too much, but I like seeing a bit of news every so often. We also should have reviews done for these. Maybe under a special "SEGA Legends" banner or something.

Or After Sega. Sega Legends sounds like they're still with the company speaking of which, shouldn't this be in a different forum?

As a member of the mod squad, I'm going to say it stays here as long as there is only one topic for the game. A good chunk of speculation and comparisons sre going to be based on Naka's past games with SEGA, plus we probably wouldn't be even talking about it were he not a SEGA legend.

I like that "After SEGA", btw. :)

Well he isn't a legend to me, made some good games with a few others who never get much credit. At best he's been lucky. Now he's on his own we shall see. As for your explanation, its a bit more than George gave. Still don't think it should be on here though,even if Sega may get a bit of the profit if this game is succesful.

And that's the worst part of it for me, SEGA used to be making games like this In-House , it's a great same this isn't really happing now
Game looks quite stunning really. like a crazy mix of Sin and Punishment meets NiGHTS .

Just a bit pissed it's leading on the Wii and not the PS3 or 360

I am surprised anyone thinks this looks that good at all, I really think it looks awful. Everything around the game sounds ridiculous, like Wiimote-only controls, bad graphics, same level of quality on both platforms, terrible music and Prope.

Rather play Captain America.

Hmm, I am skeptic about the gameplay. Wiimote only ? As I look at the trailer I hope for a real "flying" experience, but when I look closer it looks pretty simple. I really hope it gives freedom to fly how you want. That would be awesome, but the wiimote only feature makes it sound as if the game is gonna be very simple. Hope Yuji's first big game is not gonna suck. If so, than too bad.

What's wrong with Captain America?

Also, I don't get why you hate the look of this game, it looks like it has some potential at least. It doesn't look OMGWTF HOLY SHIT THIS IS DA BEST, but it looks okay.

And yes, Prope sucks.

You barely know of any of the games I dislike, and the ones you do is only because I dislike them due to the fanbase usually, like how you said I lied about playing a PlayStation 3 because I did not understand why so many people were so positive about Valkyria. Classy!

I did not insinuate that it sucks. I am not looking forward to it, but I think it will be alright, maybe very good.

In any event, I much rather play that then this. Not Thor, though.

Having seen the trailer again, the art direction is kind of bland, at least in the way it feels like the hundreds of platformers which weren't too special in the 16 bit era.
Title: Re: First Rodea the Sky Soldier trailer
Post by: George on January 27, 2011, 06:44:39 pm
You hate Valkyria Chronicles and like every other game that is great on PS3. So I'll be getting this. Approved to be great.

EDIT: I think this post in response to George went kind of far, and I apologize for it. I just get annoyed with how mindless this "Console war" crap gets and am really tired of how personal some people always take it.

Hmmm, is Rodea voiced by Junichi Kanemaru? Because it sorta sounds like him.

If it is him, it's the first time he's used his trademark "engrish" in a dramatic scene, instead of being done for comedic effect.

Console war?

LOL Alright. This game is on Wii.
