Hmm.

 

Well, let's see what they show next week, eh? Personally, I would have just delayed publication of the screens with an explanation why rather than rush out ad-hoc shots that could give the game a bad impression.

I do feel bad for cacking on them earlier, BAD Jamba :nono: !

 

It just seems silly to me that they even released the pics. Where are these guys based anyway? Their website doesn't even say which country they're in!

I have very little confidence in this game. It seems to me they are a typical starting developer being way too overconfident. They boasted with their three titles in development, artwork, story, and are willing to release 'beta' screenshots to get some attention. It seems to me they want too much at the same time, and that's not the way to do it.

 

Beta screenshots don't look nearly that bad for a modern game. I think those were quick renders of some 3D model just to give an illusion they have working graphics yet.

 

Ten quid say this game will never be released. They are taking a wrong approach.

Maybe they were worried that all the hype surrounding E3 wiped out the attention they were getting during the previous lull of gaming news. Now that we're back into a lull they want us to stroke their egos again. We'll see next week, but like most readers I put these guys on my "We just want our 15 minutes of fame"/vaporware list. Do they get extra credit for having 3 vaporware games at the same time?

who ever bashes indie developers for not having capcom or nintendo like graphic is really stupid...not saying any names but everyone knows who im talking about just look up a few post.. N64 was no were near as good as this...and its still and early build of the game..Who knows how good it will look when its done.. Right now if the game is good and looked like that then i would buy it.. Like eternal darkness for cube not the best looking game but a great game..as long as it not fugly all is good with the world

I admit the graphics are shit, but what you graphics experts are forgeting, is the fact that they are an indie development team, with no previous experiance with the wii hardware.

 

If you think your all so clever, why don't you make your own game with 'super mario galaxy' like visuals?

 

Lets see how far you get...

 

Moaning bastards.

If you find anyone irritating then just block them form your User CP

Thing is, that would mean, motion, no-one would see your posts so why don't you try and think before you post.

Think before I post?

 

What's wrong with me posting:

 

"Another week, another crappy Wii game with N64-like graphics is announced."

 

?

 

Sharing my opinion, what message boards are for I thought.

 

I think the whole n64 like garphics is what is wrong with that post... It not a opinion its just stright bashing the game...unless there is a n64 game that looked as good as that...i dont know what n64 u were playing... then u call it crappy without even playing it... its not the finished game it just a test animation from 8 months ago...I have been really looking forward to this game and have been following it for a long time... it can be a sleeper hit really..

This is an interesting video.

 

1st things 1st, the concept art is nice but not amazing. I find it strange that she seems to have a different personality in the model though, because she looks pretty pissed in the concept art. But hey no really bad points to talk of.

 

Walk cycle is looking pretty nice. She has a nice feminine prance in it. But the dagger slash doesnt look good. There's NO anticipation on the initial slash and her stance is very relaxed and generally looks wrong. It makes her look as if she's doing it really casually and it's also made pretty wooden by the fact that her body doesn't flex that much.

 

Sorry for being so technical and damaging about the animation but these look loike basic mistakes to me. I recon I could do better than that by next year, cos I know I could hand-drawn animate it better and I've only been doing that a year. The animation is very much of student standard.

Those guys have like 3 projects running on the same time or at least announced, did not update their homepage for months and everything they show is PC only work which looks rather bad for todays standards. EVEN for independent developers this is the wrong approach. I don't see any effort at all.

 

It sounded like a promising project but someone obviously made the wrong choices...

The model test doesn't look that bad...

 

The thing is, when developers are releasing something ordinary like a months old model test (of which they should do dozens per day if they're doing it right) as the major news item in a year's time, you know this won't ever get done.

 

Still stalking me eh? never mind... try reading this. If anyone deserves to be banned, it's you

If that's so, then I think you should read the line: "Use of the R-E Forums is a privilege, not a right." a few times more.

Exaclty. No one cares how much you talk or how many excuses you come up with. If your actions don't show any kind of value then no one is gonna care. They didn't have to release those screens or that video until it was completed. How do they even expect to be taken seriously.

 

It only makes me more angry that these guys are paving a very unhappy reputation for indie devs. Not gonna make life fun for people like me in the future.

Need I remind you of your little stunt a few months back that got at least two respected members permanently banned?

 

It's getting to hilarious levels now.

 

So I'm to blame that they posted porn, bestiality, hentai shots and made a mockery of the forum? Sorry, they were 100% to blame for being banned. If I went into a thread that you started and began putting up those sorts of pics, you'd be responsible for my banning? No.

 

Have to say I'm thrilled they got banned. They deserved it after all.

 

If that's so, then I think you should read the line: "Use of the R-E Forums is a privilege, not a right." a few times more.

 

Read it. Nice sentencing.

It's called an opinion. 'I' think this game looks crappy. Message boards are for posting opinions after all. You disagree, fair enough, that's your right.

 

Why isn't this guy banned yet?

 

 

And by the way, the reason I've not been banned is because I haven't done anything wrong. I post opinions which people don't like, I get abuse thrown at me, laugh it off, and continue to post.

 

We've got an example on this very thread. I post my opinion that I don't like how this game is looking. You come in, and ask why I haven't been banned yet. :indeed:
