Interesting. Other than the lack of music, it seems the Wii version is staying true to the Saturn versions formula. Speaking of a Saturn, I need to get one. I really want to try Radiant Silvergun. >_>

Ask Panzer.

Anyway see what I mean people complain about it going to suck when it is nothing but a "more of what you love" sequel.

It seems to me "gamers" or what they're called don't even know what makes a good game anymore.

Then again with those who claim Resistence, Last gen ports, and watered down PC ports as games of being "quality" I'm not surprised.

Good luck finding a copy, and making it work on your console (it only came out in Japan).

And no, you can't have my copy. :P

clearly you've never played the original NiGHTS, it's not fun to watch, but it's very addicting. It pretty much looks like more of the same, which is a little dissapointing, but, hell, it's still NiGHTS.

I'm not really interested in Sega anymore but their latest Sonic on Wii has me hoping they can turn around the series.

As for this game, doesn't look too good atm, but who knows? Might turn out to be a fun game on release.

If it as good as Panzer_Zwei makes it out to be, I hope I can. I have always had a respectful appreciation for SHUMPS, I just never really got to play many. Most were for PC back in the mid 90's and knowing Panzer, probably not even considered SHUMPS. >_>

It looks like it's using the Sonic Wii engine.

I bet this game sucks as bad as Sonic did.

And I still don't get what you're supposed to be doing.

Radiant Silvergun is the best SHMUP ever made in my opinion. And it has the deepest system ever in a SHMUP, but that's not an opinion. I mean 7 different weapons with just 3 buttons, and each weapon has an use and that you have to use to master the game.

Compared to Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga was an enormous letdown, on everyway you look at it.

Making it work on a system isn't the problem, since you can just buy a ST-Key for less than $5. But Radiant Silvergun is the most expensive Saturn game, and it goes around $150-200. This is ironic, since Radiant Silvergun was cheaper than most Saturn games when it released, since it was published by ESP.

I think they just haven't added the background music yet, guys. One of the composerse of the original is on board, so that's probably the explanationfor no background music.

Sonic's problem was his transition to 3-D. SEGA simply struggled with the transition; that doesn't exactly mean that they can't put out good games anymore. There are no transitions to deal with for NiGHTS, unless you count the controller.

This isn't being made by Sonic Team. It's being made by some unknown US studio.

Wasn't it the US division of Sonic Team (Sonic Team USA or something)?

It looks remarkably similar to the original.

If youve seen or played the original you shouldnt be too surprised at how this game plays.

Still, the trailer was pretty ugly. the lack of background music made all the little annoying sounds (the frogs particularly) rather jarring. The graphics too, were particularly sub-par, though hopefully that was the low-res video talking and also hopefully they can improve on this game sizeably before release :(, hopefully...

Honestly, it doesn't look that different from the original, except the levels are larger and the rings more spaced out. That, and the footage is missing music.

I guess anyone who's bashing this wouldn't like the original either, and since the game is basically made for the fans of the original, it doesn't really matter.

I persoanlyl clicked this expecting lag and such, but didn't get that. What I did get however was a lack of any music, a barren wasteland lacking any enemies or life, and some really crappy looking gameplay. Sega, just leave third party and go extinct. Leave all your good games to companies who know what they're doing.

BTW, when was this "One of the most anticipated games for sheep"? :?

Those are ALL the games you have and you're complaining about lack of games? If you don't want to buy any games, that's your problem, not wii's.

At least for me it is. I have never had much faith in Sega though and the reviving of this franchise is just going to make it look bad with this installment.


I never thought it would be amazing but man this is a huge letdown even considering my low expectations. The graphics are just plain horrible. I mean it should at least look as good as SMG considering your pretty much on rails.

Fans of the original waited years for a NiGHTS sequel, the Wii is revealed and looks to be the perfect system for NiGHTS 2, then it is announced and everything seems too good to be true...and that's exactly what it was, too good to be true. The new NiGHTS doesn't seem to have changed anything from the original, besides the controls. This is nothing but a cheap cash-in for one of the most anticipated sequels this year. Yuji Naka leaving Sega makes sense, that company is hopeless.

The game is far from being done. The trailer just wasn't put well together. There are a lot of things missing. It's just showing off what the game is giong to be about. Stop judging it like if it's about to be released tommorow. Sega know what they're doing.

I am saddened by the negativity on this thread, it is evident that most have not played the original NiGHTS. The game should be glorious. The art style is pleasing, encompassing all the vibracy trademark Sega colour palette, the gameplay looks light, airy and majestic; and the worlds seem imaginative. One thing the footage does highlight is the importance of music in video-games, however on this front I have no fear, Naofumi Hataya- the composer of the delightful score in the original- is working as musical director. I am also intrigued about the use of the Forecast Channel, after all the original was a pioneer of similar features by using the Saturn's internal clock.

Yes the textures are bland and the gameplay seems very similar to the original, but is that really a bad thing? I once read an interview with a Sega employee (possibly Yuji Naka) who said the reason there had not been a sequel to NiGHTS is because they did not want to upset fans by altering it. The game will likely be a fan-service but there are few things you can do with a formula almost perfected on the first outing. For now I remain cautious about the implementation of the Wii controls but overwhelmingly optimistic that the game will pull through unscathed.

Shame on the pessimists of the gaming world, happy to lap-up the generic shooters and racers we are spoon-fed on a regular basis. I think I am now beginning to understand the reason why I feel so disenfranchised by gaming at the moment, and I can assure you it is not the influx of non-gamers.

Looks like a fan-based game. I think it's for the people who enjoyed the first one and were clamoring for a sequel and never got it. Sega's returning the favour. Besides Sega is a good developer with some great games. I don't understand why people are so against them. I think I'll wait for reviews. Seems like a hit or miss to me...

That is dependent on whether you have played the original, if so you will be aware of the subtlety of the NiGHTS experience. It is almost metronomic and soothing; elevating the player to a zen-like state of concentration. Gamers are so cynical and scornful today, we need to return to the child-like fascination and discovery games once brought.

Well is obivouse no one here played the original for the satrun (which is a masterpiece btw) Theres no sound because its still early in development, of course there going to add music, that was one of the strong points of the original. Also you dont just "fly through rings" you explore worlds and such, its a game that is more than meets the eye. The conrolles for the game havnt even been decided yet, it still has a long way to go.

Whats so bad about it?Drizzt13
Yeah, really. The character model I think could look a little better, but the environments are breathtaking... and while the music is kind of corny, you have to consider the kind of game it is. It isn't some ultra hardcore FPS, its a fantasy adventure game. The gameplay looks pretty nostalgic though.

I am saddened by the negativity on this thread, it is evident that most have not played the original NiGHTS. The game should be glorious. The art style is pleasing, encompassing all the vibracy trademark Sega colour palette, the gameplay looks light, airy and majestic; and the worlds seem imaginative. One thing the footage does highlight is the importance of music in video-games, however on this front I have no fear, Naofumi Hataya- the composer of the delightful score in the original- is working as musical director. I am also intrigued about the use of the Forecast Channel, after all the original was a pioneer of similar features by using the Saturn's internal clock.

Yes the textures are bland and the gameplay seems very similar to the original, but is that really a bad thing? I once read an interview with a Sega employee (possibly Yuji Naka) who said the reason there had not been a sequel to NiGHTS is because they did not want to upset fans by altering it. The game will likely be a fan-service but there are few things you can do with a formula almost perfected on the first outing. For now I remain cautious about the implementation of the Wii controls but overwhelmingly optimistic that the game will pull through unscathed.

Shame on the pessimists of the gaming world, happy to lap-up the generic shooters and racers we are spoon-fed on a regular basis. I think I am now beginning to understand the reason why I feel so disenfranchised by gaming at the moment, and I can assure you it is not the influx of non-gamers.

Now can you point me the way to the FUN in that trailer?

That is dependent on whether you have played the original, if so you will be aware of the subtlety of the NiGHTS experience. It is almost metronomic and soothing; elevating the player to a zen-like state of concentration. Gamers are so cynical and scornful today, we need to return to the child-like fascination and discovery games once brought.

FUN?!?

I agree with topic title "one of the worst gameplay footage I ever seen." seriously. this game will score below a 6.
