IGN have a MAJOR update on this game.

Aparrently there are new english movies and hands on, also there is an interview as well.

Im reading/watching them right now.

EDIT - Just read the hands on and I believe I found a rather MAJOR stuff up.

"Of course, it's not really a surprise that the visuals are so shocking when the main artist is Kosuke Fujishima (Ah! My Goddess, Gungrave)."

Thats a quote from the hands on...weird but its definently a stuff up.

EDIT - Watched the movie and I must say that we can all rest easy...the voice acting isnt that bad. Its good ...but thats it. Im happy now and am anticipating this game more then ever.

Nice! Gah, Summer isn't coming fast enough! =(

(Akdaman, Fujushima did the concept art for the game, so it's not really a "stuff up"...)

And Aiai, shut up...

What ?

I dont get it, Im not really into anime but Im getting the feeling that this Fujushima is really bad.

"What?" is what I should be saying...I don't get your point...

MysticalMatt517 · « **Reply #7 on:** May 01, 2004, 11:39:15 AM »

I'll probably get flamed for this but here goes anyway...

I didn't know anything about this game when I clicked on the link. The first thing I did was go to the screens section. Honest to goodness, I'm not lying, my initial thought was "Oh, this is a GBA game!"

Color me unimpressed.

The visiuals arent shocking. They messed up. Or are they trying to say that they are? I sorta missed why they are saying that.

How could you mistake this for a GBA game? Go to IGN or Gametrailers and watch the trailer. You will have a different view on it then.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #9 on:** May 01, 2004, 11:43:45 AM »

Oh, so you're flaming the game...Surprise, surprise... *rolls eyes*

A few kiddies need to learn that screenshots aren't a basis for determining how a game looks in action...

ruby_onix · « **Reply #10 on:** May 01, 2004, 11:49:10 AM »

Nonono! Fujishima is a fantastic artist. Ah!/Oh! My Goddess is one of my favorite series.

The "stuff up" here is that he wasn't the one doing the art for Gungrave. That was Yasuhiro Nightow, the guy who made "Trigun", and a completely different person.

ruby_onix hits the bullseye, winning the grand prize. Everyone else gets $1 gift certificates to McDonald's.

Just a response to the link with the pictures...
I studied art in college this past fall and I must
say the art on that page/link is amazingly frontal.
If this was not done purposely, and I have no idea
why someone would create such frontal art for a
video game, or any animated work, then something
is really messed up here.
Frontal art is how all art was drawn before the age
of the Greeks, its noticeable for looking 2-dimensional,
especially in the case of the eyes in profile view.

To sum it up, this is just extremely weird and surprising.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #14 on:** May 01, 2004, 06:40:16 PM »

It was done on purpose...Look at the way the characters look in the game...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2004, 01:24:46 AM »

joe: For model sheets in 3d graphics you need ortho images Since the viewpoint in the software is usually in ortho mode and perspective in the image throws off the proportions. I don't use perspective for sketches, either, since they're meant as a guide for 3d modeling, not as pretty pictures.

MysticalMatt: Not surprising, considering the game uses cel-shading and 2d/3d hybrid gameplay. Viewtiful Joe would look like a GBA game, too, if you picked the right images.

joeamis · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2004, 10:09:51 AM »

Only one character looks frontal,
Collette, the others look normal

Pale · « **Reply #17 on:** May 02, 2004, 05:57:47 PM »

Ya know, I had been quitely excited about this game for quite a while. I was expecting just a great 3d style rpg a la final fantasy. I never really looked to far into it. Now that I read the spread on it in NP i fully understand what the fuss is all about Bill.

I love when developers take chances artistically. It is something that needs to happen more often. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed when I saw how much FFXII is gonna look like FFX. I AM SO SICK OF THE ULTRA REALISTIC GIRLY MEN SQUARE KEEPS PUMPING OUT! I think I'm gonna hop on Bill's bandwagon and start wetting myself every time this game is mentioned. =P

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02, 2004, 06:03:57 PM »

Amen...and quoted...

joeamis · « **Reply #19 on:** May 02, 2004, 06:30:36 PM »

I wasn't interested in this game more
than any other rpg until I read the story
and character bios, and after further reading
I must say it's at the top of my wishlist.

By frontal as I said earlier, I don't mean
it's a bad thing at all, it's just a rare siting.

Although the graphic style has been done
in an rpg before on more than one occasion,
it's looking better in this title than ever before.
In my opinon cel shading does a great job
of showing emotions, much like anime for cartoons.

on a side note I just noticed today, after looking
at an old magazine that the girl featured in FF12
has her skirt up so high you can actually see the
bottom of her butt drawn, I too believe that Square
is looking worse and worse in regards to FF.
However, the backgrounds in FF12 look absolutely phenomenal.
The saving grace may be that the producer
is responsible for FFT and VS.

Ah! The mighty bill is quoting a quote in his sig. I just hope he doesn't wet the bed on ya

lol
I'm very looking forward to this game, as well as Baten Kaitos. The Two make a perfect Marriage ( lasts more than most

)

How long are the anime cutscenes? I'm very intrested in a frothing aspects of the game, and it increases.

Today i went to The-magicbox.com and read this : "Namco mentioned they do not plan to release the PS2 version of Tales of Symphonia in US, the game will only appear in Japan."

Wohoo happy times for us cubers and alot of rambling from the arse from PS2 fans.
