Posted April 16, 2010 http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/108/1084020p1.html First Look: Time Travelers Level-5 shares first concept art for its mysterious new game. US, April 15, 2010 - Here's what we know so far about Time Travelers, the newly announced game from Professor Layton developer Level-5. 1. It will have a time traveling theme. 2. It's being produced by Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino 3. It's being directed by Jiro Ishii, director of the critically acclaimed Japan-only 428 sound novel game. 4. It's being developed for a platform that "does not yet exist in this world." 5. It's being developed at Level-5's Tokyo studio. Get nice and cozy with that piece of artwork, as it's likely the last we'll see of Time Travelers for some time. In Tweets following the game's announcement, Hino said that now that it's been announced, the game will at long last be making its true start. This has to be a 3DS game right?! I'm already very excited at the prospect of this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 16, 2010 1. It will have a time traveling theme. There, I just bought it. Games that fuck with time are very high on my list (Chrono Trigger, Day of the Tentacle) HURRAH FOR LEVEL-5! and yes, I do believe this'll be for the 3DS. I love it that NINTENDO is so close with these guys, they stand for some top-notch quality of the highest order:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 19, 2010 It's being developed for a platform that "does not yet exist in this world." I wouldn't get your hopes up, it might be getting developed by Martians. Hence Earth dystopia artwork. It's coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just said Day of the Tentacle before the Zelda N64 games. Madness. Also I cannot reccomend Braid highly enough, if you haven't checked it out already. I also love time-travel games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 12, 2011 Level-5 is set to share its upcoming plans at Level-5 Vision later this week. But a few bits have started to leak out of this week's Famitsu. The big news we're hearing is that Time Travelers is now a multiplatform title. Originally announced for just 3DS, the game is due for PlayStation Vita and PSP as well. Famitsu also has first game details. The game is set in 2031 Tokyo. It will be fully voiced. A release is planned for 2012. Time Travelers was one of the main announcements from last year's Level-5 Vision. The game instantly received attention because of the involvement of Jiro Ishii of Chun Soft and 428 fame. Famitsu also has an updated report on Fantasy Life. This one is still 3DS. As previously announced, Brownie Brown is developer. andriasang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 12, 2011 Apparently also due for PSP/Vita Good news as far as I'm concerned, it should mean they'll really push the game. And then we'll get any additional benefits 3D can add on top of that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2011 Hmmmm~ Colour me intrigued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2011 Have to say I was more interested before that trailer. I didn't really like the look of the latest version a great deal... it's not really how I'd imagined it going off the initial trailer and images. Also the graphics don't seem as good in the new trailer, if you compare the footage of the tower in both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the graphics don't seem as good in the new trailer, if you compare the footage of the tower in both. Wouldn't surprise me if it was PSVita gameplay. As for the graphics since when do graphics alone sell a game? I do think more footage is needed and a more specific description of the game. Is it a puzzle game or RPG or puzzle game with RPG elements? Still so much we don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2011 Graphics alone don't sell a game, but I certainly dont want to see them getting worse as the game progresses! The previous trailers that only displayed the 3DS logo at the end, looked better than this latest trailer... and seeing as the Vita is more powerful, that doesn't really make any sense. But still, I'll also wait to see English language version of the game before deciding, because I just can't stand shrill Japanese trailers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikoto appears slightly different to each character - Hina Fushimi: An idol female announcer who's out for the scoop on the mysterious terrorist known as Dokuro the Beast - Yuri Fukase: A top student who has a major secret a past incident - Soma Kamiya: A top detective with the police.

Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) (Not a new picture) "Time Travelers was the big winner in this week's Famitsu review scores. The multiplatform adventure game from Level-5 and former Chunsoft great Jiro Ishii scored 9, 9, 9 and 9 on both PlayStation Vita and 3DS. (A PSP version is due one one week later.)" ...I should start studying Japanese. Edited July 4, 2012 by -Dem0- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
