The 2D bits play like this mostly. I haven't followed the game intensely but I haven't seen those gameplay segments before, hence being surprised by them. I've only seen the 2D sidescrolling bits before.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 15 Posted August 15 6 hours ago, Julius said: 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. The next couple of months is looking pretty stacked.
darksnowman Posted August 15 Posted August 15 When I'm not thinking this is a Tiny Toons game I have it mixed up with RPG Time: The Legend of Wright.
Julius Posted August 16 Posted August 16 A bunch of previews dropped about an hour ago, for anyone interested! Sounds like some really positive stuff 1
Julius Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Digital Foundry have released their hands-on impressions of the game: Man, it looks so wonderful 2
Dcubed Posted August 24 Posted August 24 That level of performance is exceptionally good. Gives me hope that 60FPS is not off the table for Switch
Julius Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Devolver have released a special video for the game revealing that it will be getting fully localised in 11 languages, including a dub in each of those languages for the game's narrator! This is so cool! They even listed the VAs and credited those who worked on the localisations in the video description In other news, the physical edition for the game had pre-orders go live yesterday, which are aiming for a 21st February 2025 release date:
Ashley Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Might be tempted to get the special edition depending on the art book. If there's actual notes, decisions etc I'd be interested but if it was just a series of screenshots and renders not so much. Shame there's no Italian, could have claimed it as revision.

It's Brazillian Portuguese 😐 It's still cool (the voice actor sounds really good, actually), but man, my hopes got way up. 1

Told ya, @Dcubed. The Europe in N-Europe stands for "European Portuguese is what Jonnas wants" Rolls right off the tongue! 3
Julius Posted September 5 Posted September 5 A new sneak peek of the game released earlier today: Not sure it was really needed this late on, but yeah, surprise! It still looks great
Julius Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Some lovely art from the team to mark that there are just 7 days to go until launch 1
Hero-of-Time Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Very happy with the projected length of the game. 3 1
Dcubed Posted September 13 Posted September 13 https://x.com/devolverdigital/status/1833896469159666015 Well... crud. PC it is then I guess.
Julius Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) Video on some of the game's accessibility and control options: A lot to customise here to your heart's content, great stuff! Edited September 13 by Julius 1
drahkon Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Getting really excited about this one And it'll release at 6pm tomorrow Might actually not get to play this before Wednesday.
Glen-i Posted September 16 Author Posted September 16 I'm quite sick now. Might not be able to make the trip home today like planned. Which means, despite releasing on a Tuesday, I might be able to play this day 1. Silver linings, y'know? Nothing like a good bedtime story to soothe a dodgy tummy.
Ashley Posted September 16 Posted September 16 For those wondering I split off the accessibility discussion into it's own topic in general: https://forum.n-europe.com/topic/40069-accessibility-in-gaming/ This is charming as heck: 2
Hero-of-Time Posted September 17 Posted September 17 A warning for those planning on playing it on their Steam Deck. Quote It's also plagued by technical issues. The frame rate drops alarmingly when fighting multiple enemies, the game freezes randomly, and some levels straight up don't work on Steam Deck. The Plucky Squire never claims to be Deck Verified, but it's a game perfect for Valve's portable and it's unfortunate that the developers couldn't make it work in time for release. 1 2

I'm a bit confused by this bit...because checking Steam, it is Steam Deck verified? And we've known for the better part of a week that it's going to be Steam Deck verified (source: Destructoid). My question is, were they playing it back when it was unverified? Or did they just somehow accidentally type that? Weird. [EDIT: there's also this page on Steam where they even explicitly highlight the fact that the game is indeed verified for Steam Deck] This seems like another perspective which is maybe a bit more balanced and fleshed out, they do call out several issues but a mostly consistent 30fps in a certain mode with some very noticeable frame rate drops at fixed points. It also just doesn't sound like the other person tweaked their settings when they hit these rough spots, which is a bit odd, considering, well, that's the benefit of a PC handheld? Sounds very disappointing either way, imagine it'll get patched but this does seem like it would have been the perfect type of game for the Steam Deck. Edited September 17 by Julius
