Whats there not to like about them. That game looks sweet. I just wish I could play a Dragon Quest game for once in my life
-
Thanks Adan.... :D
Miss MoneyPenny is now very happy because she loves RPG... like me :D.
-
A world map that is traversable (lacking in many "next gen" rpgs).
Interactive towns (lift barrels, rummage through closets, etc...)
Graphics to kill for....
What\'s not to like.
This is shaping up for a must have :)
-
Release date?
-
;) Now i see ! Adan just likes that type of cel graphix. That\'s why you liked my test render of my robot too huh ? Yup Cinema4D XL
comes with that plugin built in.

Haha, it\'s going to be that...

Amazing graphics, very cartoonish.

Is this getting a PAL release?
-
It sucks graphically IMO

Shut up: P They are at least as good as manhunt:p :D . I think it looks pretty good. The only thing that i dont particularly like is the enemy design so far except for that crazy lookin aztec dude. He looks badass:) . I know they only show one though. The main character also looks kinda funny, but that doesnt mean that he will end up being a gay character. The more i look at it this game does look pretty promising.
-
GRRRR!!!IT SUCKS OK? :mad:
:D
-
I think it looks amazing..

Lets see...
It\'s a RPG and a good looking one in that... i i say.. Pob\' not :(.
/me shakes angey fist at the Power that Be. :mad:
-
thats a shame. I wonder why so many games dont get PAL releases. I forgot what the differences between here and PAL games. Isnt it that Pal has lower res but is faster? Meh. I think you guys might get this one

It\'s actually the other way round, PAL is higher res but slower.
-
i really dont like the way the main char dress. graphics are nice imo. easier to penetrate a fantasy world when the graphic are cartoonish over trying-to-look-real.

this shot dont like right....the lighting on him is too bright IMO>..
-
Looks good. Granted, not the "best" on the PS2...but deffinetly not the worse.
IMO, all the shots, the character(s) look out of place. Less so in certain areas then others. Still, not a bad looking game. Maybe one day, I would play it and finally play a game that is a part of the Dragon Quest series. Maybe.
-
it\'s very weird that he seem to have a sorce of light right in front of if face, not the rest of the body, and the shadow he cast is oposite from the light shining on is forehead. the big church thingy in the back cast none.. :rolleyes:
-
Maybe it\'s a cut scene where someone is approching him (off screen to the left) with a lantern.
Who knows?!
-
It makes me want to play Dark CLoud.

What? No it doesn\'t, it looks great. Your opinion is wrong, IMO. ;) Now if you\'d said that in regards to DW7 then you might have been on to something, but this one looks good.
-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OMG!! It\'s the big red machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
:D
-
What makes this game so great graphically?You people seem to find the graphics very nice, while I see them as mediocre at best.
-
For a cel-shaded game, it has incredible detail..
Seems as though it\'s going to look better than Dark Cloud 2..
-
I know games that look 10 times better than that.Even Jet Set Radio looks better than that.
Not to mention that all glorious hard-to-distinguish-from-Anime graphically cell shaded title that is called ZOE2.
-
As far as I know, ZOE2 isn\'t cel-shaded. It does have some cel-shading in it, though (puffs of smoke, etc).
And Jet Set Radio does look good. :) JSRF is still probably the finest example of cel-shading I\'ve ever seen.
-
Couldnt they have made this one(DQVIII) a little bit better looking?I mean I dont think you will argue that the 3+ year old JSR looks better than that or many other cel-shaded graphically titles.
I get disappointed when I see sequels from popular titles (especially coming from Squareenix) that doesnt exploit the hardware\'s potential much.I think it deserved a better treatment.Also seeing this quality of grapchics it gives me the impression that they havent put much effort to the game generally because of Dragon Quest\'s fame as one of the most succesfull RPGs since the old days of the first final fantasies.
Ofcourse I might be wrong.
-
*shrugs*
I don\'t think JSR/JGR looks better than this (at least not just from stills. I haven\'t seen this in motion). I think this title, graphically, looks very polished, and certainly up to the level of any other cel-shaded game (Dark Cloud 2, Zelda, TFLO etc.)

You\'re going to have to help me out, because I\'m not finding "10X better looking than DQ8" anywhere here.

I say anything looks better than a big red x.

Actually the red X\'s were quite small. But just because Spudz didn\'t like them, and I\'m only doing this for him and only because he wishes he was as cool as me, I\'ve replaced them with links which can be clicked for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

I feel so loved.

JGR at nightime.I dont find DQ8 impressive when I compare it with old games.
What else is missing from DQ8 is the cartoonish, anime shading you find on most cel-shaded games.In DQ8 its only a black outline.Now take the cel-shaded characterts out and nothing else is cel-shaded.The Backrounds arent THAT great.

Just to let those who are interested know:
DragonQuest up to the last series was actually developed by a company named HeartBeat. They did all the actual coding for the game. Since VII, and some subsequent re-releases of previous titles, the company has gone bankrupt.
Since Enix had been publishing the titles, they retained the rights to the name, and now have switched development firms for the game to Level 5.
Some of you may be aware, that Level 5 is the same company that has made Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle. Hence, the results that some think that it looks like those games.
As for the graphics and artworks, Enix continued with using Bird Studios for character designs. Bird Studio is headed by Toriyama Akira, also known for his manga and Anime series DragonBall and Dr. Slump.
Although SquareEnix is officially releasing this game, it\'s not the same Square team that is working on Final Fantasy and other games, thus you\'re going to get a difference in quality and amount of effort put into games. When you really start digging deep down inside, most japanese games out there are rarely ever developed by the big name companies that are releasing the titles anyways.
