More reason to not credit Clover Studio for their work.......

Also, the game is looking better with every sceen though it still doesn't wow me as much as Odin Sphere did when I first laid eyes on that. I guess to be fair, I'll wait until I'm playing it at home which I will when I buy this the day it comes out. If Vanillaware creates a game that doesn't choke on slowdown like Odin Sphere sometimes did, this will automatically be better my book. And I'm glad that this game uses the Classic Controller.

After watching that trailer, I got to thinking on how cool could it ever be if Okami was done by the same company that is doing Muramasa, and in full hand drawn visuals... bliss I say, bliss.

Wouldn't be terribly cool, they'd turn it into a "kill everything, go to next screen, kill everything again" game.

I think I might buy this game purely for the visual richness, to encourage this sort of thing being continued. Hopefully it plays well, too, but I can already see myself getting killed because I'm gazing dumbfounded at the gorgeous backdrops.

Seriously, they have a real depth and beauty and give a remarkable sense of space, like you're actually moving through a landscape, like you could actually venture into those backdrops. It gives a sense of inhabiting a vast world. And that's just from screens and a trailer. Can't wait to try this out; besides, it's been too long since I played a real good side-scrolling action game.

I think the appeal I was trying to suggest is the 2D artwork, and we do know that the game play mechanics could be generic but I think we all know that is present in pretty much every game now.

IIRc they have a pretty low framerate for the sprite animation compared to the modern competition.

It's Europe, the discs have to be stored in a cellar for at least 6 months before they get sold here.

Holy cow, this game just keeps looking better and better with each new trailer. I'm really looking forward to this.

Also, is it just me, or does it sound like the Marvelous announcer is saying "Mervous"?

Stratos · « **Reply #87 on:** February 08, 2009, 07:05:41 PM »

Will there be a co-op mode? I would love some co-op play.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #88 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:52:34 PM »

This game is so Japanese it sh**s cherry blossoms.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #89 on:** March 03, 2009, 01:33:58 AM »

More screenshots

No word on co-op yet Stratos.I look around for that info.

Stratos · « **Reply #90 on:** March 03, 2009, 07:17:25 AM »

Thanks for looking around. If it doesn't then I'll just have to hope for it in the sequel I would hope to see as well.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #91 on:** March 05, 2009, 09:59:39 PM »

A couple more details.
There will be 30 different types of stages.
108 different sword types.
You can temper swords.
There will be a variety of different special techniques.
Finally the game will support Wiimote&Nunchuk,Gamecube and Classic controllers.

Caliban · « **Reply #92 on:** March 06, 2009, 02:57:25 PM »

108 sword types? I sure hope they all look different, but more likely they will be in groups of 10 or so of the same design with different colours.

When is this game suppose to release in the US?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #94 on:** March 06, 2009, 10:38:37 PM »

Just checked Spinzilla.IGN has a July 2009 time frame. Another has a November 2009 but as I posted that was for Europe.
Finally Amazon has a July 28th 2009 date.

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #95 on:** March 07, 2009, 12:18:14 AM »

Huzzah, awesome. Thanks for the research, maxi.

This is slowly climbing up to be my most anticipated title this year. It looks incredible.

As good as it looks in screenshots it is great in motion.
