Dan_Dare Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 ok, I like it because! They're going for a more fable like, fantasy setting in this one. They've said the feeling should be like Arabian Nights or similar. Therefore, the 'painted' look to the textures seems fittingly unreal and, importantly, open to use for truly otherly visual effects etc. additionally, the quasi super human antics of the prince would not lend themselves well to the more or less realistic style of assassins Creed, although i think it's safe to say we can expect an animation system to be borrowed from there, what with it being Montreal's last output.
spirited away Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Umm yer soo... POP looks good! I agree with Dan: the surreal textures look to lend themselves well to the fantastical nature of the POP series. Importing the animations and such would be a no-brainer. Can't wait to see how Assasins' physics play out in self-contained, specifically designed areas. We're getting spolit with our parkour at the moment eh?
Retro_Link Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 New POP: Speed Artwork Trailer http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33651.html What is Ben Mates, like 12!! Anyways, new art direction looks cool, and that is seriously some impressive drawing for 20mins of work!
spirited away Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34503.html Beautiful new cinematic - I really love this new cellular art-style
Cube Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34503.html I'm confused. Isn't this supposed to be a lovely-looking cel-shaded game? What's with the extremely dull and generic graphics in the trailer?
Hellfire Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34503.html Beautiful new cinematic - I really love this new cellular art-style It's just cgi. Seriously Ubisfot, this isn't 1998, no one cares about pre rendered graphics anymore.
LazyBoy Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Why are they white? Seriously what the hell. If I wanted to play as a dark haired white guy and a white chick with big nakers i'd play, well any other game pretty much ever. Damn Ubisoft suck.

Retro_Link Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Wonder if this new ally character in the trailer is a hint towards a co-op mode?
Hellfire Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Wonder if this new ally character in the trailer is a hint towards a co-op mode? The character helps you during the game, we've seen that in screens, so it doesn't necessarily mean co-op, but it's possible.

Cube Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I wonder how the combat system will work with lots of enemies...
Cube Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 it won't. every fight is a duel And all my excitement for the game has just flown out the window.
Dan_Dare Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 why? the combat looks amazing- beautiful, choreographed looking martial arts, epic music, genuinely challenging enemies. think about it this way: what's the best fight in zelda history? dark link. Best enemies in Halo? Gold Elites. Why? because they're equals. They're actually interesting, not cannon fodder.
Cube Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I just don't like them much. Against crazily powered bosses it's fine, but otherwise I just don't find it that interesting. think about it this way: what's the best fight in zelda history? dark link. Awesome room, extremely dull fight.
Goron_3 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 wow the footage i've seen of this looks fantastic. I've never played PoP before but the art sytle of this one looks fantastic. Definately buying along with Gears, Far Cry 2 and Lego Batman.
Aimless Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I just don't like them much. Against crazily powered bosses it's fine, but otherwise I just don't find it that interesting. I hate to use this card, but seeing as you haven't played the game I think it's a bit early to be passing judgement. The combat is designed around one-on-one fights, so frame it in that context; think along the lines of a simplified Soul Calibur as opposed to God of War. Anyway, with this, Mirror's Edge and Tomb Raider Underworld all due this year, it seems like a good time to be a fan of acrobatic videogames.

Ashley Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Okay only midly relevant but its going to bug me so I need other people's opinions. Whoever this chick from the new PoP is, is it me or does she bear a striking resemblence to Lisa Rinna? Yes, it bugged me this much. The chin, the hair, the eyes, the boobs...just me?
