The lighting is nicer in the new shots. But then I've been fairly happy with the graphics all along.

The graphics look fine to me.

If Sonic X-treme had accompanied the original Nights up against Mario 64, then we'd be playing this on Sega hardware. But I'm looking forward to this game and if Sega messes it up like they do so many.. all of their other games, then I will truly have lost all faith in them. Nights not being fantastic means the one of absolute worst sentimental disasters in gaming history.

Sonic X-treme wouldn't have even come close to touching the awesomeness that was Super Mario 64. I've seen the screens and videos and while it looked ok it wouldn't have been the Nintendo killer. . .

He doesn't mean that they would kill Nintendo, just that Sega would still be in business and this NiGHTS game would be on a Sega system instead of now on a Nintendo system.

Ah I see my bad.

I don't think it woulda kept Sega in the hardware business though TBH . . .

Adrock · « **Reply #105 on:** August 21, 2007, 08:31:44 PM »

No way. Nothing could've saved Sega, least of all Sonic X-treme. Sega released some of their best games on Saturn and Sonic X-treme was declared crappy by all.

The only way Sega could've stayed in the hardware business is if they adopted Nintendo's business model of maximizing profits and even then, they're games generally never made as much as Nintendo's. The market is barely large enough for 3 players now and we can assume that no matter what Sega did, the 3rd party support Nintendo had would've gone to Sony anyway because Sega was utter failure in Japan. The market is barely large enough for 3 players today. If anyone was getting pushed out, I have no doubt that it'd be Sega no matter what they did.

Barely large enough is right. If Microsoft wasn't so willing to lose money, I don't think there would be room for three competitors at all.

Sega made so many bad decisions that there's no way one game could've saved it. From the unecessary Genesis add-ons to the Saturn's surprise launch to the never-ending stream of battery-sucking handhelds...everything Sega did after launching the Genesis went wrong, up until Dreamcast, which was too little too late.

NiGHTS website up!

The BGM is just as amazing as the original! Some hope for this game returns!

Kairon · « **Reply #108 on:** September 01, 2007, 09:14:39 AM »

That IS some pretty neat music.

The trailer is also so utterly totally nifty. I'm looking forward to the game again!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #109 on:** September 12, 2007, 08:13:34 PM »

Magical happenings in the new trailer. http://media.wii.ign.com/media/873/873984/vids_1.html

Is it just me or is the character model just ugly design?

Not really... then again... this IS Sega... *sigh*

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #111 on:** September 12, 2007, 10:45:42 PM »

So I take it you two never played the original? The character design is actually BETTER than the last game...

couchmonkey · « **Reply #112 on:** September 13, 2007, 03:20:40 AM »

Man, do I want this game to be good. I hope you're trying, Sega.

If by character model we mean the hero, I think he looks fine...until you put him next to a realistic design like the kids. Then he looks like a freak of nature with eyes like headlights...but so would any anime character.

cubist · « **Reply #113 on:** September 13, 2007, 03:58:34 AM »

I just saw the trailer for this game. It looks promising, but I can't say I'm jumping for joy. We haven't heard/seen enough of this game. I played the original many eons ago when I worked at Toys R Us.

I just watched the IGN Insider trailer, which is weird cause I'm not an insider (FF ripped from their server even though they said I had to log in first), and I must say that this looks a whole lot better than the first videos that were released. I still don't really see the lure to the game, but it does look like a magical children fantasy (rated 3+).

Multiplayer via WFC and Artificial Life

Sega needs to learn to make videos. The pixels in the new trailer make Cruisin' look passable.

Adrock · « **Reply #117 on:** November 21, 2007, 07:28:13 AM »

Sega just announced a Nights into Dreams remake for................... PS2.

What. The. Crap.

I have the original on Sega Saturn so a remake on any system is inconsequential to me. It's just that I can't figure out why this isn't at least coming to Wii also. I was thinking that maybe the original is included in Journey into Dream, but would anyone buy a remake at that point? A PS2 version is fine since the userbase is so large. At the same time, wouldn't a Wii version make just as much sense seeing as the sequel is coming out this year? This is probably just another case of "Oh wait, this is Sega we're talking about."

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #118 on:** November 21, 2007, 07:33:26 AM »

I have an odd feeling that the original NiGHTS will be included on the Wii disc. It would make sense since there is such a small number of people who have played the game or have the chance to own it. Hopefully the PS2 port is just throwing everyone else a bone who isn't going to get the Wii version. I guess we will see.

The Traveller · « **Reply #119 on:** November 21, 2007, 09:12:00 AM »

I hope it is on the Wii disk. The PS2 version is getting the art galleries and interviews with the creators etc. Maybe if the original is on the new game it wont include all the bonus extras.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #120 on:** December 17, 2007, 02:56:15 PM »

Thought I would give this a bump with the game coming out THIS WEEK. I took the dive and preordered it after reading some positive reviews on it. Here is hoping for a good game.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #121 on:** December 20, 2007, 07:03:00 AM »

Well can't say I've played it much but so far, so good. The game is pretty fun with good controls (though I cannot say how good the Wiimote controls are, since I'm using the classic controller). Forgot that Nights was pretty linear in its flying, you can only go right, left, up and down, not 3D like the Mario games. Regardless it appears it has decent production values, even if the visuals make you appreciate how gorgeous Galaxy is.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #122 on:** December 20, 2007, 12:54:06 PM »

Any impressions on the multiplayer yet?

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #123 on:** December 20, 2007, 01:29:07 PM »

Nope, probably won't get a chance to play that until the weekend!

Mario · « **Reply #124 on:** December 20, 2007, 02:12:38 PM »

Whoa I didn't even know this had multiplayer, awesome.
