Glen-i Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Can't have the risk of this slipping under people's radar. Shown at the Devolver Direct. This seems to be James Turner's (One of the Pokémon artists since Black/White) project after leaving Game Freak. Looks really promising, and the concept is very cool. Definitely keeping an eye on this one. Edited September 17 by Glen-i 2 3
Dcubed Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Well that looks rad as hell! Defo looking forward to this
MindFreak Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Yeah, it looks really interesting. Please show me more.
BowserBasher Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Giving me bit of the Link Between Worlds vibe so I'm interested. Plus that art style looked awesome.
Glen-i Posted June 10, 2022 Author Posted June 10, 2022 Real talk, the moment Jot left the book, I audibly said "Whoa!" out loud. Haven't done that since Smash Ultimate's "Everyone is here" moment.
RedShell Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Wow! Looks great. Edited June 10, 2022 by RedShell
killthenet Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Still looking great, no telling how this is going to look on Switch though - will surely be a big visual downgrade
Dcubed Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Better update that thread title @Glen-i... It's 2024 now. Edited August 7, 2023 by Dcubed
Julius Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 Just to add, there were also some other games delayed too: Bit of a shame, but 2023 has been and continues to be stacked, so I say let it cook. As for having a dedicated showcase for delays...

Glen-i Posted August 7, 2023 Author Posted August 7, 2023 Yadda, yadda, yadda. Obvious Miyamoto quote. These days, I'm always gonna be fine with delays. Wish more games would do that. My god, I've turned into a Stanley Parable fan! 1

As for having a dedicated showcase for delays... I thought they nailed it, much better them owning it all in one go than a bland press release, or even worse, multiple ones. Either way, much better than the "we're not releasing it yet because we want to make it the best game it can be" that Nintendo rolls out for every single one of its delayed titles. We know that's not the reason, don't bullshit us.
Julius Posted August 15 Posted August 15 (edited) September 17th it is! Next month has filled out quite nicely by the looks of things: Astro Bot, this, Zelda, some other titles like Space Marine 2, UFO 50...okay it's filled out a good bit more than I thought it had when I started typing that list. Should be a good month! Edited August 15 by Julius
killthenet Posted August 15 Posted August 15 the question is will the switch version come out then too - i'd imagine we'll be waiting a little longer for that one to come out
Julius Posted August 15 Posted August 15 3 minutes ago, killthenet said: the question is will the switch version come out then too - i'd imagine we'll be waiting a little longer for that one to come out So there's actually this trailer on the Devolver channel which went up on 25th July, which I'm guessing was kept private as it's only just become watchable and has a very low view count; description says it's coming to Switch on September 17th too! Quote The Plucky Squire will be hitting digital bookshelves on September 17 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch! So there we have it 1 2
Julius Posted August 15 Posted August 15 (edited) The game will also be included Day One in the PS+ Game Catalog. What a get! They've been knocking it out of the park with some of the indies they've got on there Day One this year! Edited August 15 by Julius 2
Glen-i Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 That was wayyyy sooner then I expected! Zelda's lucky I can't use my NSO voucher on this.
Julius Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Confirmed by Nintendo themselves for the 17th too 20 minutes ago, Glen-i said: That was wayyyy sooner then I expected! Same, very surprised it's come around so fast after not getting a meaningful update for a while – but probably means they were being smart and just letting it cook. From the outside looking in it seemed like it would be lucky to scrape into Nov/Dec, if not potentially getting delayed to next year. Glad it snuck up on us like this instead, always nice to have a game release a bit earlier than it was perhaps expected!
MindFreak Posted August 15 Posted August 15 How many styles does this game have? This seems like an old school RPG now but the older trailer I saw showed lots of 3D and 2D blending action and platforming. Nice to know it's coming soon but will probably not get it right away. It looks cool but I'm not quite convinced that it'll actually be fun to play.

It's got a lot of different genres in it, for sure, but not once did I see anything like an RPG.

Or it's perhaps more a Zelda-like here, with it not being turn based battles but rather action based. Edited August 15 by MindFreak

I thought that was apparant from the start. The 2D bits play like this mostly.
