Shorty Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Any Avatar fans? Platinum Games fans? Both? (*raises hand*) Platinum Games is developing The Legend of Korra, a third-person combat game based on the Nickelodeon TV show. The Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Bayonetta 2 studio and Activision will launch its downloadable Legend of Korra game this fall on PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. Korra scribe Tim Hedrick is writing the story, which takes place between The Legend of Korra’s second and third seasons. As the series' leading lady, players will use the Avatar's fire, earth, air, and water elements in combat to fight familiar enemies such as Mecha Tanks and Chi Blockers, as well as other Benders in the 3-on-3 Pro-Bending arena. A Webfoot Technologies-developed turn-based strategy version of The Legend of Korra will also hit Nintendo 3DS this year. Where Platinum's action game is all about fast-paced martial-art combat, the 3DS game will "focus on tactically maneuvering Korra and her allies on the battlefield."

S.C.G Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I must admit that I was more excited by Scalebound but being that it's exclusive to Xbox One and this presumably is multiformat... well, more from Platinum is never a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's a bit early to take anything from the screenshots, but if we get an MGS: Rising style game in the Korra universe? I'm already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'd love them to go back and do games of Aang's story the previous games were very lackluster to say the least I'm cautiously optimistic this will be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm a huge Avatar/LoK fan and almost spat my tea out when I read that Platinum games was making this. Now we can dare to dream we get a decent licensed game out of this. IGN wrote an early preview that sounds promising, so fingers crossed. I'd love them to go back and do games of Aang's story the previous games were very lackluster to say the least A game with the gaang set in early Republic City would be pretty ripping.

gaggle64 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Gameplay at last and still looking promising with fast fluid action. Apparently it'll be a fairly bite-size campaign (about 4 hours, which makes sense for a download title) with an aim for re-playability alongside the pro-bending mode.

Shorty Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 On the one hand I'm excited, on the other hand I wish it was going to be a much bigger title. Still, licenses + quality developers, always an exciting combo. Maybe if it does really well and makes a good return, they will cash in by expanding it.

M_rock Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It will be interesting to see how this does after nickelodeon decided to pull the show off the TV shedule. (Still a weird decision to me but oh well). This has a lot of potential, and it could become a really fun game! I like the graphics too. Also quite a bit of a shame this isn't coming to WiiU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
