Dragon's Crown...2D brawling goodness

ParanoiaDragon · 06/09/2011, 06:27 PM

Wasn't sure how to word the topic of this, but, I was looking at pics & video's of Dragon's Crown by VanillaWare, & it looks sweet! I suppose this is a reason to get either a PS3(if you don't have one yet) or a PSV.

oh.

wait.

Tatsujin · 06/10/2011, 09:41 AM

I wouldn't call that exactly 2D, but I have to admit it looks quite le OK.

SignOfZeta · 06/10/2011, 01:18 PM

Uhhh...that shit is way too fetishized and gross. Even Frank Frazetta would want to slap me if I owned something like that.

Keranu · 06/11/2011, 02:54 AM

Damn, girls got a nice booty.

LOL

...but I think it looks pretty good. Although I prefer when games let you choose the gender of your class. I refuse to use a woman in a video game.

geise · 06/11/2011, 04:10 PM

So you don't play Valis games?

I have been a huge fan of Princess Crown and Muramasa the Demon Blade. Great games. I really hope though that there is more frames of in-between animation added. The characters and enemies look way to cardboard cut out. It does look like a fun beat em up which is highly lacking these days. Reminds me a bit of Capcom's Dungeons and Dragons beat em up games.

TR0N · 06/12/2011, 06:15 AM

I know i 'enjoy muramasa the demon blade and odin sphere highly.So yeah the,character size and shape for dragon's crown seem way off such as the head not matching it's body correctly.Still i'm not bother by how much the characaters look in drgaon's crown,even though i find it odd.

So let's here.

2d animation check !!
Multiplayer check !!
Gameplay suposely similar to capcom d&d check !!

Seems like a win,win to me from vanillaware.

TR0N · 06/12/2011, 06:15 AM

Btw hmm vanillaware

Yeah, men who play as women are just creepy...

Glad to see you are on my side Sunteam, a reference to the manliet game ever was great support.

Though, I should've clarified, I don't like using women in RPGs where the story revolves around the world and not your character. For example, in Diablo 1, couldn't pick the archer. However a game like Final Fantasy XIII I could sort of get into, because I was not role playing, but rather witnessing a role being played. Women characters in a game like Cotton are okay as well.

Any time I have to feel as though I am the character, and it is a woman, it doesn't work. I will never know what it is to have motherly instinct, thus I can't relate.

_Paul · 06/12/2011, 04:03 PM

There's always a lot of discussion on MMORPG forums about men playing women/women playing men etc. I think the answer is that some people are fine with it, some are not. That's just how things are. The End.

Tatsujin · 06/12/2011, 08:17 PM

In fact, I don't give a shit about. As long the character I'm playing with does appeal to me, there is nothing wrong with it.

I mean, there're peeps out there playing with hedgehogs and stuff, c'mon!!! *kiddn^.^*

It's funny you say that, cuz I think I read somewhere that the director George Kamitani was actually somehow involved in the Capcom D&D game!

yeah some people are just not very secure with their masculinity. Playing games like Valis or Fasuette Amour or Wonder Momo......Sailormoon games even......doesn't make you any less of a man.....or more of a woman hehe

Arkhan Asylum · 06/13/2011, 07:44 PM

I play as girls in a lot of games. They fit my play style.

In alot of beat em ups, the girl is quick. Or fighters, Chun Li is quick. Ryu is slow. Kasumi is fast, all the dudes are slow (except Ryu). I like moving around quickly. I could never be the Warrior in Gauntlet. I was the elf. If he had been a chick it wouldn't have impacted my decision. If the warrior was a chick, it still wouldn't.

Other games only have girls! Like Fausette, Steal Princess, Izumi... it doesn't stop me from playing them. I don't mind. As long as the games ok. I don't care.

Ive got chicks on MMOs. I have dudes also, but its nice to have variety instead of big burly dude 100% of the time.

Admittedly, I have a cat on FF14. If there was a male gender for them, I definitely would have been male though. Sucks theres ONLY females.

Now back to the game here, I think its realistic actually.

If a chick with tits that big in real life was running around in that silky dress, her tits would be all the fuck over the place just like that. I had gym in high school, I saw all the big breasted girls getting wacked in the chin during basketball by their own rack. And that was in a tshirt!

VestCunt · 06/14/2011, 01:05 AM

I don't give two squirts what gender character I control in a video game. Chun-Li is easy on the eyes, E. Honda is not, Ryu looks cool. Stopping to think about it much more than that is kind of weird and might indicate the need for some personal reflection.

As far as the Dragon's Crown art, I agree with Zeta. It's overly fetishized. IMO, fetishized to the point of being stupid, bad art. Everything from the sorceress' boobs to the dwarf's shoulders have been exaggerated to the point of caricature. Personally, I like a little more realism and/or room left to the imagination in my fantasy characters. I'll take 1970's D+D art with its dumb bell-bottoms over new-school, half-demon/drow elves with septum piercings and over-sized, serrated, two-handed swords any day.

JoshTurboTrollX · 06/14/2011, 09:45 AM

while it looks like something that might be worth Downloading the demo of, it looks like a slightly better animated flash game you can find on newgrounds.

CrackTiger · 06/16/2011, 06:36 PM

I prefer playing games as female characters. But I don't consider them an avatar of myself in real life. It's just a game.

I also don't mind watching films or shows with female leads.

geise · 06/17/2011, 10:09 PM

If people are really worrying about how the character design looks, then that's their problem. It doesn't make a game bad when it's your own personal opinion. I don't see too many people really worrying about the character art style that much. I think the game looks freaking fantastic. Vanillaware has always had the same character artist all the way before it was Vanillaware doing Princess Crown. I think the game is going to be a nice beat em up that is severely lacking in this day and age. People are making to big a deal about it when no one has even played it. Looks like it will be fun to me. It is a beat em up though and could get monotonous like quite a few. Hopefully there will be enough gameplay to break up the monotony that a beat em up usually has.

Let's say "senior year" gym class, so that way it is less creepy.

haha I had a similar experience except I was in the 6th grade. One day this girl came to school wearing a muscle shirt (you know like a regular over sized tee with the sleeves cut off) and she was not wearing a bra or anything for that matter underneath so everything were hanging out and out in the open. Come to think of it I am surprised my teacher didn't send her home for that! hehe

How old was she ?

I'm kind of confused by the american grading system.

6th grade would be 12 or 13 years old.

As nando stated check out odin sphere,it's on psn for 5 bucks.The game itself is pretty much a "spiritual successor" to princess crown.

Had Princes Crown since release. I've been a long time fan of George Kamitani's work.

Ditto,so much attention to the details far as the 2D animation go's.I can't wait for the game and id finally got a %100 in both D&D games.So i am ready for dragon's crown.

munchiaz · 07/27/2013, 02:13 PM

I got a chance to play this at EVO this year, and i really enjoy it (have it pre ordered). def plays alot like the D&D beat um ups. I only had a chance to play as the amazon (dat booty) but def fun multi player. One awesome thing is when you are in town you can attack towns folk, but if you do it to much, they throw you in jail

I've been thoroughly enjoying it.
my only complaint is that the wizard blinds everyone else when he's using his spells; can't see shit sometimes

geise · 08/08/2013, 10:05 AM

I have no problem with how it plays. Using the Sorceress or Wizard I kinda question decisions for how you cast magic, but otherwise it plays just like Princess Crown. I have been enjoying the game immensely. I might even get it later for PS3 so I can play it on a nice larger screen. It does get kinda hard to see at some points on the Vita when the camera zooms out.
