I know you have it in you to do better than that ;)[QUOTE="Thunderdrone"]
[QUOTE="Samox"]
What? You don't like hearing the truth? I'm sorry. I'll try to be more subtle with it next time.
But yeah. It's going to be casual.Samox
Some titles shouldn't be resurrected, and this is one of them. I bought a Boy and His Blob on NES new for about $60 back in the day, and I gotta saythe game is nice to remember, but not as much fun to play.
I will watch this as I have been, especially watching the reviews, but those that haven't played the NES game, go back and play it, and ask yourself is this really Current Gen worthy? I know this opinion won't be popular, but so be it.
I do hope however, that if the gameplay was FIXED, I would dig it...conceptually, the game is grand, the implementation was piss poor.

The only thing salvaged from the old game was the concept. Boy finds shape shifting alien / alien reacts to jelly beans / Boy uses jellybeans to overcome enviromental chalanges.
Thats it, and to be honest, its a better game concept than 80% of the generic crap people hype in these boards.
Even if this game was casual, since when did casual become a bad thing? Its getting pretty sad.
Anyway regarding the game, I can just tell its going to have amazing music. Just by looking at the images, i can hear what its going to sound like and i cant bloody wait!

click the link ;) Oh and those "casual" comments are such a poor attempt at trolling i just take them as unintentional comedy
same author or creator as braid :o? looks a lil similar expandedDon't know about that, but from what I've seen it has a nice light-hearted look to it (fits right in with the characters), and it seems they've streamlined the game mechanic to make it more accessible. Sounds like fun. My only gripe is it's currently only for the Wii, even though it's third-party. Here's hoping it jumps.
is that coming to ps3?Solid_TangoNo [QUOTE="jonnyt61"]The art direction is pretty amazing, and I really do like it... But it does look very simplistic. If this is indeed aimed at a very casual audience, it'll probably remain far too short and simplistic. I'll wait and see on this one. Wayforward doesnt make simplistic casual games. See Contra 4 or Shantae And the "casual" audience doesnt give a crap about a 2D NES inspired game. Its a pet project the Wayforward staff always wanted to make

And based on GS's own impressions of the game, they've adjusted the gameplay mechanics for the better.[QUOTE="Solid_Tango"]is that coming to ps3?ThunderdroneNo [QUOTE="jonnyt61"]The art direction is pretty amazing, and I really do like it...

The art direction, as I said, is pretty damn good, and that's one of the easiest ways to win a purchase from me. Is there a PAL release announced?
[QUOTE="Samox"]Try harder next time. Looks like the same thing could be said for the developer.Amazingly casual.

Try harder next time. Looks like the same thing could be said for the developer. :lol: Great line. False, but a great line nonetheless.I loved this game back in the day, but why do they have to make it so childish?xscrapzx
Because they dont really care about the teen segment who needs to be assured of their maturity with muscled protagonists and dumb enemies as anatomicaly complex as bags of red goo ready to explode.
Is it me or is it always someone with a sony sig making childish troll remarkes like this?Looks like the same thing could be said for the developer.

I hate generalizing but i'm calling it as i see it. Almost every single troll-like comment lately is being made by a poster with PS brand preference, a PSN sig, and/or PS exclusive avatar. Its wierd[QUOTE="xscrapzx"]I loved this game back in the day, but why do they have to make it so childish?Thunderdrone

I wasn't looking at it that way, I'm saying that it looks cartoonish and childish. I really don't care for games like that. Thats all I'm saying.[QUOTE="Thunderdrone"] Is it me or is it always someone with a sony sig making childish troll remarkes like this?

Its wierd However ... The game wouldn't look out of plave on Playhouse Disney. With Comments like that, i hope you;re the kind og guy to regularly browse through kids shows to see if any of them interest you.those little blobby things remind of a cartoon i used to watch as a kid on cartoon network.....damn now this is going to bug mejg4xchamp
herculoids ;)
It looks kinda easy from the vid; hopefully there will be challenging puzzles
Does anyone know how long this game is supposed to be? It looks like it could be rather short, but looks are often deceiving so I'm hoping for the best.mattbbplIt's supposed to be a Wii downloadable, so I wouldn't expect it to be very long. This is a bit of a guess, but perhaps 3-5 hours?

^Skepticism fail.
It's pretty clear you have no idea what this game is or where it came from.
I think you're thinking of the Donkey Kong Jr. Math remake that's coming out in September.
Does anyone know how long this game is supposed to be? It looks like it could be rather short, but looks are often deceiving so I'm hoping for the best.mattbbplHard to say, the first one was really quite short, so if it's a remake it can be beaten in 20 minutes max, if they have made all new level designs and such, it could be much longer... hopefully. I don't think it will be a 'kiddie' game just because it looks like that, I mean Braid was really well done and it had a similar look.

I don't think it will be a 'kiddie' game just because it looks like that, I mean Braid was really well done and it had a similar look. Its not really a remake. Appart from the concept, characters and certain locations, its a completely diferent game. As for the kiddeh look, yeah i dont get that criticism, Monkey Island looks like a Disney cartoon, Grim Fandango looks like one of those yearly CGI animations, Braid looks like a children's book ilustration and Muramasa is pretty much anime inspired. Are they knocked of as kiddeh crap games by the SW crowd? I'd love to see them try.
