pedrocasilva Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Dante imagevenue doesn't allow hotlinking I think; at least I can't see them.
jammy2211 Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Seen them now, and wow. This game is shaping up awesome, I always thought it would be good but now we're seeing some evidence. I'm really hoping third parties are going to keep up with exclusives like this, there are plenty already but to me it's not enough, yet. This one is shaping up very nicely though.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 After seeing the scans, the rumors of this being a port of the PS2 game, are luckily not true. Text says that it is port (I can even see Poseidonia Shrine from the scans), but I would like to think it is as a port / remake of PS2 version. Original Rygar: Legendary Adventures had only three different types of enemies, and it started to get pretty annoying soon. Wii Rygar seems to be far more varied when it comes down to enemies. Furthermore, they have upgraded graphics significiantly. And considering that the original game sold below 100 000 copies worldwide, it is just good thing that game got second chance. BTW, here is excellent sampler from Rygar's soundtrack: http://rapidshare.com/files/42546149/rygar.zip.html Really underappreciated soundtrack.
Jamba Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I watched a vid from a PS2 Rygar game and it had THE worst voice acting that I've ever seen. I mean, its nothing next to House of the Dead 2 but thats meant to be shit. Awesome scans tho. Hope it is a good game and visually I think it looks pretty good.

The game supposedly also has an extra mode involving the new character. It's a bit unclear to me now.
flameboy Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Was kinda looking forward to this until I heard the rumblings it was little more than a port.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Was kinda looking forward to this until I heard the rumblings it was little more than a port. Have you played the original*? PS2 version is good game even today, and seriously underappreciated. * Highly unlikely, I know...
jammy2211 Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I don't get how this is a port, didn't it have concept art at one point? Why would you make concept art for a port? :S. I dunno, it still looks awesome, and having never played the PS2 version it looks fine. Maybe there are two Rygar games coming or something? :S

Game has lots of new monsters, and main hero has been changed to something that appeals japanese market*. Original New * There is very good reason why every JRPG features these days blonde pretty boys.
jammy2211 Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Nice, still, I don't blame them for porting it tbh. The original sold poorly and making a full blown new game is just foolish. I think a sequel will be planned for the Wii, they've made the game engine now and certainly looks to be pumping out visuals above PS2's capabilities. If it sells well then it's a no brainer, I can see me buying this as well, it feels to me much more a new game then a port.

Teppo what do you think? Is this a port (haven't played the original) something like Rygar "Sigma"? Regardless of what it is... I hope they sort these out before release.
Retro_Link Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Very early PS2 in terms of graphics! Infact even Majoras Mask isn't far of this in terms of graphics!
pedrocasilva Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Very early PS2 in terms of graphics! Infact even Majoras Mask isn't far of this in terms of graphics! Hmmm, in terms of scenarios it really gives off a PS2 feel to it, but the character is definitely new, as is it's weapon (and it's trail and such), so that stands out from the rest. I also don't know about some of the enemies, but the larvae seem new aswell. Anyway... I hope they fresh it all out before launch.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 hmmmm: Yup, it is Poseidonia Shrine. Monster is new.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Is that water, fog or lighting gone horribly wrong? Water, but it looks much better in motion.
Pit-Jr Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 this game bothered me on the PS2 because of all the moss and rocks (and mossy rocks.) I hope they liven up the environment a little this time. eh who am i kidding, i wont buy it anyway

At this point there is little or no chance of me picking this one up.
