Kirby Epic Yarn TGS trailer makes you wish LBP looked this good.

[QUOTE="Filthybastrd"]

I'm going to have to see some reviews. Could go either way for me...

I do think the artstyle is unique and I do want to like but It sort of looks like a collection of mini games and all the bosses revolve around flinging crap back at them like SMB2.

Half-Way

lol wut?

if anything LBP1&2 is more like that.

No really. It's pretty cool that he changes into different veichles but FX the tank parts look not so fun to me. Also, I find the music depressing. I'm not trying to bash it, but for me this is a wait and see game.

Also, I think Sackboy is more charming but to each their own.

I will be picking this up. I won't be picking LBP2 up. I liked LBP, but the platforming was too floaty, and I'm not one for all the user-created stuff.

KEY will certainly get some art awards. I just hope the gameplay is up to the same standard.

im not saying your opinion is wrong or anything, and i clearly didnt mention any of those things above,

you said kirby was a "collection of mini games"

this would fit more with LBP because the levels them self play differently and are made by different people. The whole concept of the game screams "mini game collection" lauder then kirby dose

its pritty clear that Kriby epic yarn its going to be this gens Okami

(not sales-wise i hope)

best art this gen, as well one of the best looking games overall

but what really makes it like Okami is that the graphics and the gameplay are connected.

im always impressed with great looking games, but im more impressed with graphics focused on the gameplay

JonSnow777

Best art this gen. Yarn on fabric.

Not sure if srs.

look above,

the whole concept of LBP is different levels made by different people

its ironic that someone would call kriby a collection of minigames, but not see that LBP clearly plays more like a mini game collection

Terrible bit of gloating going on here.

It looks like a snes platformer updated with cleaner graphics. There isn't any real innovation here, it's been done.

Seriously now? This pink blob with muzak in the background is worth gloating about?

[QUOTE="iMojo786_PSN"]

so the LBP bashing has begun, im pretty sure this can be remade in LBP as most games have, especially side scrollers

Half-Way

remade? With the terrible jump mechanics?

you can barely make it look like that, not to mention make it play like it.

LBP was designed to be user-friendly and simplistic.

do you honestly believe that you can remake a game like kirby in LBP? "I dont need to buy any games anymore, i can make them on LBP2! because it has all genres."

If you didnt like the jump mechanics it in LBP1, now you control the gravity in LBP2.

And I dont think he was saying that LBP2 is a substitution to all games, he was just making a point on how creative you can be in it.

Kirby's Epic Yarn looks so dumb that it made me trade in my Wii for a PS3. Well, actually Demon's Souls made me trade in my Wii for a PS3, but it was pretty close to when I looked at Epic Yarn and let out an epic "meh."

well creativity isnt something you learn, and together with the limitations of LBPs game editor

its not really a good mix. Thats why i prefer kriby

If you read the previous posts, you'd know that the gameplay is slightly different than previous Kirby games. He's no long eating powerups as before. I remember similar comments being made about a certain SNEs platformer, how the art was too childish, and it's considered to be one of the greatest platformers ever (Yoshi's Island).

Why do sheeps keep taking a stab at LBP with Kirby? Cows havent said anything bad about Kirby but Sheeps just keep on bashing LBP.J-WOW

People tend to attack what they are afraid of.

I'm not saying it is the same as previous kirby's. It's just a 2D platformer. That's it. It is a 2D platformer with a ncie art style, that wont be to everyone's tastes. (Too cutesy for me, but I appreciate the work that went in to it). Most 2D platformers had a gimmick that set them apart from the others during their heyday. They weren't really original because of this.

LBP2 is on a different level because it allows people to create almost anything. This is a new concept to consoles. Why on earth the OP is bringing LBP into this discussion is beyond me. As a comparison, it's bound to fail. Kirby, for all its hype, will probably be a 7.5 on here.

I disagree with your projected score, but otherwise, you're quite right. LBP2 doesn't fall under the category of platformer to me, and shouldn't be compared to Kirby, or Mario or any other platformer. I think "User-created" content games like this should have their own sub-genre, because platforming levels will only scratch the surface of what the game will be. Not my cup of tea really, but I might rent just to check things out.

i dont see your point at all, firstly this is about graphics, i dont see you coming on graphics king threads and explaining why killzone 3 looks better then crysis, because you find the gameplay to be more original.

secondly

kirbys epic yarn isnt just about the graphics them self, like most of those games coming out these days, its about the gameplay mechanics that are based around the graphics.

and third. Il about LBP

creativity isnt something you learn, and together with the limitations of LBPs game editor its not really a good mix.

they didnt mange to do great platforming in their past effort, and now they need to try to great in all genres.

Im not going to believe it before i see it, the gameplay looks lackluster, unlike kirbys which looks excellent.

No really. It's pretty cool that he changes into different veichles but FX the tank parts look not so fun to me. Also, I find the music depressing. I'm not trying to bash it, but for me this is a wait and see game.

Also, I think Sackboy is more charming but to each their own.

this would fit more with LBP because the levels them self play differently and are made by different people. The whole concept of the game screams "mini game collection" lauder then kirby dose

English is'nt my native language so maybe my point came out wrong.

I meant that while the idea of changing into several different shapes and changing gameplay accordingly is very cool, I just fear that the sum of the parts will be lesser than the whole. My only experience with LBP is the demo, which I admit, impressed me. It gave off a very pleasent vibe that I'm just not feeling from Kirby atm.

But I do recognise the imagination that went into this so it certainly deserves the benefit ofthe doubt.

Kirby make look better than LBP, but ultimately LBP will be better than Kirby given plenty of more replay value.

That's one of the reasons I'll be passing on Epic Yarn. One playthrough and I'll be done with a game. $50 is too much.

well i understood your point, but it the way LBP is supposed to be played is more similar to a mini game collection then kirby

what kirby dose is pretty similar to mario suits, it gives you a power and you are able to play with different abilities for the time it lasts.

While LBP is about playing different user created levels that play differently for a short period of time, then move to the next.

its very similar to the idea of a minigame collection

It's so CUTE! ^.^

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"]That looks so awesome.Half-Way

Please someone explain, what looks awesome about this? I honestly don't see it. I think people are hyping this purely because its an exclusive from nintendo and don't even look at the game. Looks like a very standard platformer of which there are dozens on the snes.

Donky kong and lbp look soo much better.

well good taste isnt something you can learn

All i can say is great art style but why is everyone comparing this to LBP2 lol.

Im not gonna even bother looking the new trailer. Cause I know for a FACT that LBP looks waaaayy better than kirby epic yawn. I mean yarn. ReaperV7

Just because a game has guns, violence, sex, etc doesn't mean it's mature or awesome. If you lose respect for an adult who plays such a game, I feel sorry for you.

Check out the new trailer here.

Seems like another cIassic entry into the Kirby series. Defientaly shows you how good a game can look graphically when you go for a bold new art styIe.

Very interested in the one. Thank God there is still some creativity out there.
