is this another case of gaf member steals post from another forum that stole it from gaf in the first place?

 

[malek4980]

Was the cat designed by Rare?

 

[xexex]

that looks like PS2 graphics. but its just a blurry picture which doesnt mean much.

Now if what we saw at the Tokyo Xbox 360 event in July was any indication of the animation & graphics, we're in for a treat.

Probably. I got it from Evil Avatar.

Lock if necessary.

Probably not.


But now that you mention Rare in this thread, I would love to see their take on J-RPG's.

The backgrouns maybe, but the characters look pretty damn impressive. Almost looks like some action figures in a diorama

 

[civilstrife]

heh,
sorry about that.

Just found the original post. Stupid search button didn't turn it up the first time.

 

[Andy787]

That looks terrible.

I'm a lot more interested in Lost Osyssey. Which is the one being done by Artoon? I'm hoping this.

the picture is a blurry mess how come people said it's horrible? GAF surprised me.

holy shit Nubuo doing the music, Sakaguchi in charge and Akira Toriyama doing the artwork sold.

[PhlegmMaster]

They expect a game with that kind of art to sell on the 360?!

Well, I guess it might, in Japan...

 

[Zilch]

Terrible...?

Yah this is the one being made by Artoon, the director also co directed Blinx 2.

That's the point of them recruiting JPN devs.

i like japanese rpgs like FF & Wild Arms.

i never owned an XBox (only a ps2 & gamecube) but i plan on buying a 360.

i believe the 360 is gonna get a much bigger fanbase than the original xbox, so i would hope that they put out more japanese games.

if the 360 only put out a bunch of FPS & western games, it would eventually lose interest from people like me. they're doing the right thing by releasing games like this trying to expand their base.

 

[jj984jj]

No it was modeled by the creators of Blinx.

That looks terrible.

Yes it is being done by Artoon.

So you think they're going to have a bigger fanbase, but they should put out more Japanese-style games or else they won't get a bigger fanbase?

 

[Slurpy]

Its all about the animation. And frankly, that has been the weakest aspect of the 360 games ive played. Makes them look so primitive.

 

[puebla]

So you think they're going to have a bigger fanbase, but they should put out more Japanese-style games or else they won't get a bigger fanbase?

i believe they will grow because Xbox is a known brand now.

but if they were to put out more japanese games, then they would grow alot more.

so basically what i'm saying is without japanese devs, they're still gonna grow but if they put out more japanese rpgs they would grow that fanbase by alot more. if they don't then, a person like me might lose interest & buy a PS3 to play rpgs.

get it now??

 

[Mr_Furious]

Don't like the character design (or lack there of). I think I'll be passing on this unless some super spectacular media convinces me otherwise (probably not).

 

[Ceb]

You're supposed to be able to interact with most objects in the game. I think once we get to see big town shots and the stuff you can do in them, people will start getting impressed. Unless you aren't interested in another "kiddy" RPG.

 

[acidviper]

Chrono Trigger AM Not.

 

[ourumov]

The art reminds me of COwa, one of the latest Toriyama's comics...Good

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Blim's site, www.xboxyde.com, has a better quality scan of the pic. I like the look, even if it looks like all of the other Toriyama stuff, character-wise. It looks like the game will come through with some nice lighting. I want to see this in motion after reading those press impressions of the demonstration Sakaguchi gave them some time back.

 

[imastalker co.]

who's actually developing this? is it Mistwalker out of nowhere?

Artoon

[BlueTsunami]

Yesh

 

[BioFan]

dont particularly hate/love toriyama's art...but I think this is gonna be good...

 

[ourumov]

Found a pic of Cowa:

 

[jj984jj]

who's making Lost Odyssey? Mistwalker?

Some studio made by Mistwalker/MS under Cavia.

 

[Trojan X]

LOL!!! :lol

Anyway. Personally, I have a feeling that this game will be awesome. Let's wait and see...

 

[Zweisy1]

Doesnt look THAT bad.

Just not a fan of Toriyama artwork. I do like his monster designs for Dragon Quest series though.

who's making Lost Odyssey? Mistwalker?

Feel Plus is making it... Mistwalker provides the story, art and music + oversees the development just like with Blue Dragon.

 

[Timen]

Well, it -looks- ok, but is there any info on this game... what it is about for instance?

 

[swordsman]

The game will be finish end of 2006
Why so late>>
I know don't rush with a master piece.

 

[AssMan]

You xbots are so damn lucky. Both this and L.O. looks phenomenal, but I'm only going to be a two console owner next gen-PS3 and REV.

 

[Naked Snake]

- Nobuo Uematsu doing the music

Holy shit, SOLD!

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

After getting used to seeing Dragon Quest VIII, it's weird to see another game with Toriyama design go for a more traditional 3D look.
