welsh_gamer Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I got the standard DVD from HMV on Friday. The film was much better than I had anticipated and had some truly epic Layton & Luke moments. Defintley the best film based on a video game I've seen, and I hope they'll keep to their word and release one animated film per year Was the book worth the extra £15 or so and is it really approx 700 pages? Care to share a few pics from the inside of it?
Cube Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Was the book worth the extra £15 or so and is it really approx 700 pages? Care to share a few pics from the inside of it? In short: Not really. The packaging is really nice and the cover to the book looks great. But it's simply what it says on the cover: it's the storyboards for the entire film, 638 pages of badly-drawn black and white images with notes in Japanese.
Fused King Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Does anyone know any other sites, apart from mymemory.co.uk, that support PayPal and has that Layton goodness?
Ike Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Does anyone know any other sites, apart from mymemory.co.uk, that support PayPal and has that Layton goodness? The Game Collection do.
flameboy Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 If anyone wants the film and isn't bothered about collectors edition stuff the regular one is £5 at ASDA!
Ike Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 My copy didn't arrive today, I guess GAME are delaying postage on this one, or does my post suck?
welsh_gamer Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 My copy didn't arrive today, I guess GAME are delaying postage on this one, or does my post suck? Got mine from GAME today along with the cube. Can't wait to begin it later!
Tales Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Bought it today at Game because my import got stopped in the customs. Oh my god it's expensive. Almost takes the fun out of the game.

Tales Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Approxmatly 45 pounds. Could get for 30 on the Internet. Don't know why I didn't >_>
flameboy Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Approxmatly 45 pounds. Could get for 30 on the Internet. Don't know why I didn't >_> blimey £45 is pricey! I imported the first layton though and it got held up in customs as well and I ended up playing £18 on top of what I already paid annoying!
FireMeowth Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 £45? Game's price is about £50 in Norway, Tales (unless it differs from store to store, which I highly doubt). ...I got mine for £14 or something, though. x3 (The price being high is obviously because Norway's one of the countries that doesn't have a messed up economy. £50 is practically nothing to me. :P) Just finished the game last night. It was... well, simply amazing. Definitely one of the best games I've ever played.

FireMeowth Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Of course I have. I've been a fan of the series since the very beginning. Professor Layton and the Lost Future is by far the best of the first trilogy.
Dante Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 How come the topic title has been changed yet?
flameboy Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Of course I have. I've been a fan of the series since the very beginning. Professor Layton and the Lost Future is by far the best of the first trilogy. ok cool I just wanted to check if that was in the context of someone who has played the whole series which is was...so can't wait till I have the money and pick it up because like you am a massive fan. You seen the film?
FireMeowth Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I've ordered the film, but... it hasn't shown up yet. That's what I get for living in the country with the worst postal service ever, I guess... :I

That's what I get for living in the country with the worst postal service ever, I guess... :I Sounds bad, but I have to import everything from the UK in order to get the BRITISH ENGLISH SPEAKING LAYTON. After Curious Village, Nintendo of The Netherlands thought it was a good idea to translate all the dialogue and texts into dutch:nono: So when I run to the store on the day of release, I see 'Professor Layton en de Verloren Toekomst' May a ten generation curse be bestowed upon their families and their genetalia! (TheGameCollection.net have dispatched my copy, Thanks again Mike!)

Fused King Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 I am Dutch, but prefer English above all else (Or Japanese with English Subs:laughing:)
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Of course I have. I've been a fan of the series since the very beginning. Professor Layton and the Lost Future is by far the best of the first trilogy. So the ending doesn't blow like the first two?
Fused King Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 So the ending doesn't blow like the first two? Haha, I'd like to know as well. I didn't think the previous endings were bad, but I don't expect Level-5 to pull off the 'it's-real-but-in-the-end-it-is-not-real' stunt once again:laughing: Nah, TIME TRAVELLING FOR THE WIN!
FireMeowth Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) The ending is... well, it's amazing. Everything makes sense, nothing is overlooked, and the whole thing is just unbelievable (in a good way, obviously). It's a great ending, not only for the game but for the series as well. *nods* Also, finally got the movie just now. I'll probably watch it later today. 8D Edited October 27, 2010 by FireMeowth
