Nah the Saturn already looks like that, and the Mega Drive can do that as
well. That whole entire video was messed up, the explosions, have no shape and looks like....gas explosions, with a cheap Photoshop finish.
The PCE can also do that as well.
Ah. That game. The look is interesting to me. I'd like to see the Famitsu reviews when they come out (if they aren't already).
Yeah two years from now, and everybody will have hippie hair, and we are going to be retarded bald job worshiping morons, missing out on this and everything. Then again, it might be another button mashing wii wand stick, motion controller game. Looks like Pokemon for the Gameboy color,
with a dash of Dragon Quest.
The game has a unique look I haven't seen before - like a 3D-rendered world with FMV-looking characters over it - though the characters aren't FMV at all, I think they are basically high-quality 2D "sprites"(?). I've never seen anything quite like it before.
That looks Awesome
Isn't NISA bringing this game out in English?
I kind of question their decision to make all the characters hand animated 2-D, wile the backgrounds are 3-D. It's funny because they treat it as the games main selling point, though it just makes the game look really outlandish. It probably would have been better if they just spent the money they used to hand animate the sprites and used it to make good looking 3-D models that have sort of a 2-D cell shaded effect on them. That would of looked better, if done correctly.
You know what is funny, that is how all videogames looked like to me, already 2d sprites with 3d backdrops. That thing is in 3d, man. It is also kinda silly.
I need to have that game.
Asura's wrath is another game that mixes what the PC-FX was doing with some fighting games and it mixes some real time battle stuff. Good times!
Ark: I second that motion!
Akhan the Dreamcast can do that, along with every other 3d based system. Heck we do not even need the 3d, for that. Wonder Project J2,
in the mines level for example.
Maybe I am like this because my major, is what allows me to see the commercial in it.
Come on a young adult, with a plus pet flying around and it is not ErrantStory.
or Lunar. Meh to thats.

If it didn't look outlandish, it would just look like every other game and not catch anyone's attention. What you're describing with the cell shading, I imagine would come out looking like Valkyria Chronicles, or like Gal Gun on the PS3, neither of which look as weird and different as this game (tokitowa).

Tokitowa really looks like anime to me, more so than other games I've seen before.

Yeah, looks really interesting to me as well. It looks like the kind of fare that NISA or XSEED would normally localize but it sounds like it's just internet rumors for now.
I do get kind of irritated though that Sega did so little with the CANVAS engine, it was executed amazingly well for Valkyria Chronicles.
Uhh, wouldn't that just be a Saturn?

I agree, it definitely looks...different. Though it still looks unnatural and using cell shaded 3-D doesn't mean it would come out exactly like
Valkyria Chronicles or Gal Gunner. Besides those two games look great, using them as a reference wouldn't be a bad thing.
I might just be alone on this but I don't like it how it goes half way with everything. It should either be 2-D or 3-D, mixing both just looks like... a PC-FX game on the PS3 :roll:

Wonder Project J2 the mines level. This game is also in full 3d. You do not need cell shade to move like 2d, characters at all. Especially when most of the battle movement is computer oriented.
When Wonder Project J2 did it (for that one level) it was 1996. It's 2012, standards are completely different.
