I think this game will be a sucess, its amazing graphics, new and unique style and Mikamis talent should really make this a hit.

Im thinking this game will be bigger than DMC, and I also hope to see some other settings/environments then desert and spacestation.

Then again, if the gameplay is there, maybe it could move a lot of consoles. Here's hoping it's not just Devil May Cry with different characters and settings.

I seriously doubt this'll be bigger than Devil May Cry, due to the significantly lower install base of the GameCube, as well as the less "bad-ass" appearance of Vanessa. I also think that the futuristic setting of the game, while attractive and marketable, doesn't have the same mass appeal that Devil May Cry's setting has.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add to that the fact that it has the same release date as all three console versions of Soul Calibur 2 in Japan (March 27).
Anyway, I think it looks pretty cool. Hopefully it will be really fun.

'Neue Infos zu P.N. 03
19.02.03 - Im Actionspiel P.N. 03 stehen Heldin Vanessa neun Kostüme in verschiedenen Farben zur Verfügung. Das schreibt die Famitsu in ihrer neuesten Ausgabe. Mit jedem Anzug verändern sich ihre Fähigkeiten und Angriffsarten. Release: 27.03.03 (Japan).'
Translated: Heroine Vanessa from action game PN03 has nine different suits in different colors at disposal. This is from the newest Famitus. Every suit changes her capabilities and attacks techniques.
I WANT THIS GAME SO BAD, even more after hearing this. Its also supposed to have a really epic story.

I agree with others on this thread about the dancing thing. It should hopefully set us up for an extrodinary experince and provide us with some interesting gameplay that goes beyond the typical jump, strafe and shoot. Some people might be worried now about the dancing, but I was actually more worried about the game before because nothing looked interesting about it accept the graphics.
I have to echo my sentiments from a post I just made in the F-Zero thread--These are the best times to be a fan of Nintendo, image and popularity be damned.

Someone mentioned the dance moves being "alternate attacks"; this is what I thought at first too but if you watch the original trailer there's no dancing at all, and there's a TON of gunplay. In the newer trailers Vanessa is never seen using a gun at all. After going back and comparing the "before and after" trailers, I'm convinced that the guns are gone for good. Or until Capcom changes its mind again.

And I don't see anything about how you have to control her dancing about. They could just be variations on special attacks (rather than doing a spin jump, drop to the ground, and fire huge beams of energy, she does a spin jump, drops to the ground, and fires huge beams of energy *WITH STYLE!*), or they could just be her getting down with her bad self. With the frequency of her boppin' around, it looks more like she's just really funky
I mean, she could just be so detached from her job that she's bored and has some headphone-style implants and likes to get down while blowing up robots. I mean, the way she just stands there in a lot of the movies while robots and gunfire rain around her could definitely mean that she just doesn't give a damn.
Plus a lot of the projectile weapons look like some sort of compressed energy, rather than bullets. If you're shooting energy, isn't it more accurate if you integrate that into your hands, which are very agile and precise, rather than holding on to a rather antiquated design (the gun) for an entirely different type of weapon? You'd imagine a hyperfuturistic technology would be better integrated into people instead of held by someone, allowing it to not only be knocked away, but also include all of the limitations of a hand-held weapon. Kudos to Capcom for actually thinking about futuristic technology, instead of just updating what's around now.

The only problem I have with this game is the potential repetitiveness. There's only so many times you can see some girl do a half-pirouette-laser-shot in the exact same way every time before it gets old.
Unless it's a real girl
... but I digress.

So you won't see the same thing each level. We've only seen one level so far, outside that building and inside, I assume.

That'd be roughly 50 USD. Last I checked it's around 100 yen per dollar- granted, that was a WHILE ago.
I'm looking forward to this game quite a bit myself. It sure would be nice to see more than just the frst level of it though.
Post by: babble on February 25, 2003, 07:22:06 AM
Why cheaper? Capcom realized this game was not all that good and decided to bring it out fast to concentrate on the other games? Would that explain the lower cost?

The amazing graphics are already visible, and if the promised epicness (does that word exist?)
and the obvious variety in gameplay (with the 9suits) its bound to become a HIT. Maybe even one of this years bestsellers atleast in the West.
This game greatly fits in my coming library because its a contrast to other games I plan on buying soon like Zelda, FF:CC, F-Zero,Soul Calibur etc
Post by: babble on February 25, 2003, 11:32:07 AM
But, don't you think that the animations for her dancing and jumping are not that great!?
Hey, I' m really interested in this game since day one, but I always found that her animations needed a lot more work. Which it seems, that they didn't do.

which i think will help boost sales in japan.
the rave scene has grown over the last few years over there.
the 9 suits look to be the same suit to me, just 9 different colors.
i never noticed the change they made till now about the laser shooting from her hand and not a gun.. when did that happen?

This game is just gorgeous. Period. No questions asked. It is both bright and dark at the same time.
I love the whole design of everything, especially the 9 suits.
For those of you who say those moves could get repedative, OoT had the same 3 sword attacks, but no one complained there, because the game was just too good. I doubt the several moves we have seen will consist of all the possible attacks. From what i see, the targeting system looks pretty good, and it even appears you can hide in the shadows. The robots are awsome.
I know some of the story is that her parents were killed when she was young by the robots on that planet, and so she is going for revenge, but i heard that ALOOOOONNNNGGGG time ago.
Anyway this game is definetly on my most wanted list. It just looks like too much fun to pass up.
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on February 26, 2003, 06:17:22 AM
I think we know too little about this game to be judgemental about it, but so far indications are its a good game if not excellent.
This game is just what we need.
And just like StRaNge said, the girl looks like a raver chick, hell, pack the game with some LSD or Speed and we got the new bestseller in Japan
Back on topic, do you guys think this game will feature more than just those stage designs we saw, like a Fire or City like world?
After all, theres 9 suits and the footage of what we saw only showed one suit, and that was in the space station and the desert part.

this game could be a great hit, a huge hit infact
i was a little sceptic at first, but the awesome graphics, the obvious variation, the promised epic storyline and the fact that Mikami is doing this one all changed my mind
Post by: Mingesium on March 02, 2003, 02:21:01 PM
The game has more stages and environments. The game is an arcade shooter so it doesn't have a deep storyline.
Post by: Gonandorf on March 02, 2003, 07:13:07 PM
Now,i've seen all the trailers released for the games,and i've seen them over and over again.i just can't get over the idea of having to play in a beautifully drawn environemtn with only a few colors on screen.Don;t get me wrong,i'm not one to call for SMSS variety of colors,but the least i expect is something in the level of Metorid Prime.
on the other hand,i'm in for anything Mikami-san chooses to equip Vanessa with.guns,dancing,whatever,as long as it's fun,i don't care which weapon she uses,and perhaps her dancing will be relieving from the tiresom shoot-em-up genre.
i think i talked too much,hehe.

The choice in the colors are supposed to give the game style man. That's the first thing that stroke me about it, I simply fell to my knees when I saw the different hues of black on white with the occasional bright colors added for beams and special moves. The game is incredibly stylish, and fits extremely well in the high-tech futuristic background it's trying to project. This is what I dreamed games on the new-gen consoles would be like.
In any case, here's what I heard about PN03's gameplay. With the points you collect by defeating enemies you can purchase Aegis Suits and "tune up" different abilities. Each of the different Aegis Suits have different maximum limit for Attack/Defense/Energy stats (initially?), and you can "tune up" (customize?) with the points you collect.
Orange coloured gauge is "Energy Drive Gauge". It will deplete with the use of Energy Drive (special attack?).
Green gauge is "Barrier Gauge". When it's empty, it's game over.
You can fill each gauge with corresponding items found in the stages. The number shown is amount of (above mentioned) points you've collected.
By destroying enemies in succession (within certain time), you start a combo, which increases bonus points. Collected points can be used to purchase different Aegis Suits, items, & etc. at the end of each mission. By destroying enemies effectively, you can extend combo which leads to high points (which leads to more "customization").
This is a game that I am very highly anticipating, along with the rest of capcom's 5.

we all know the game looked good from before but now it looks better
the video also shows footage of her suits in action
also the moves look a lot less choppy than they did in the first trailer
the animation also looks to be more fluid
if this game isn't too text heavy, it could be a good import title when it comes out
Post by: Gibdo Master on March 07, 2003, 08:23:44 PM

Post by: CaptainN on March 08, 2003, 07:23:03 AM
Just wanted to throw in my two cents about this latest foray into
"alternative" gaming from Capcom. Knowing that Shinji Mikami is directly behind a game of this nature is certainly surprising, to say the least. The game appears to be quite an aberration, especially compared to both Dino Crisis and Resident Evil.
I'm not sure I am as excited about this game as some people in this post. The concept resembles Sega's United Artists' Space Channel 5. Granted, this game is more action-oriented, but thus far, the motion captured dance moves don't look as well-done as SPC5. The game generally looks like SPC5 meets DMC -- I'm not as sure the gameplay will be as varied, however, as DMC.
Still, the game definitely looks promising. Graphically, the Gamecube is very much proven it can handle more polygons AND look better than the PS2. I just bought Onimusha II for my PS2, and let me tell ya, graphically, RE on Nintendo makes Onimusha look like a PSOne game. Yes. I mean it.
I was just thinking about the title -- you notice something? Yeah, the abbreviation "PNO3" stands for Product Number 3 --- BUT just try saying the individual letters -- P --- N --- O (Piano?)...
