TMNT Mutant Melee is out! Its..well..(discuss)
 

Hey guys. Anyone else played Mutant Melee yet? I'm making this thread the official "What is this game??" thread!

Its an strange game. The Grapics are different. They made new models and all. I think they've made them a little uglier. First I even thought is this the real game?
All the textures are Way ugly and low-res too. The Bandana's stick out of the Turtles heads like palmtree leaves.... Its almost like with the action figures, when they bring out those fake ones.

Its pure button bashing, all the way. Its gets so boring. I really dont recommend this game. Even if it is TMNT. But just judge for yourself. Or if you have questions just ask

If the game is so horrible, why does the thread title say "It's awesome!"?? :-?

??
 

-->> ..so should i finaly slap down some green for a game cube ?? :sick:

..i don't mind really..there are some real slick games i've wanted aside from this TMNT - M.M. one.. but yeh.. why the f7ck they do this with some games..release it on 3 out of 4 major platforms and leave one in the dust (Ps2) ..i don't undertand the logic or f7cked up marketing behind that.. :evil:

I didn't know this game was out already

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure he meant "awful" and just got the words mixed up.

Wha? The game's out already? I thought it was scheduled for a March release. :???:

^ Seriously...

I heard it was scheduled for a March release. I have to check this out...

The previews for game was just up.I thought it was march also.

Sorry about the Awesome. Was a mistake.I did mean awfull. Its so ugly I almost think its a fake!
Konmai cannot get away with this graphics. The Turtles are really fat, and blocky. With a weird grin on their faces. The weapons are oversized and balloonlike.
I cannot believe it. If you compare it with TMNT 2, you scare the hell out of it!!
If you thing of what Konami is capable of (Metal Gear Solid) then this is a BIG joke

where'd u get it Raphie??

Damn straight.

I don't think you can compare a generic license game to a high budget game like Metal Gear Solid.

Is this game even out? I'm pretty sure it's March, Gamespot and the like have it listed as such, while EBGames doesn't even seem to have it on their site yet. Are you sure you haven't just played a demo?

Ninja Nin!! Dude, I haven't seen you in ages! Hope all has been well. :D

Peanut brings up a good point. I was snooping around EB Games, and they don't have it yet. As for the graphics being horrible... I watched a video clip at Gamespot a few days ago, and they seem to be pretty similar to TMNT Battle Nexus. The bandannas don't look like they're sticking out as you described, and I couldn't seen any grinning expressions... :???:

The PC version is floating around on a lot of torrent sites. He most likely pirated it

Yeah I got it from a torrent site. But it is the full 2 cd version. If its indeed a fake. Then that kinda well done. If its really how the game looks. Then Konami just wants to make quick money with another TMNT game. pirate version or not, its is the ISO version (the full install as it would appear in stores later on) and its still to fast after TMNT 2

You gotta agree with me right?

Well,I have a couple of comments on what Raph said. I'm trying to remain hopeful that this will be a decent game.

First, usually when you have a port of a game from a console to the computer, the console version looks better. Games are designed to work on a low resolution TV screens, and when you port a game to the PC without creating new textures to take advantage of the higher resolution, it can look very ugly.

As for the button mashing, Smash Bros. is a lot of button mashing also, unless you spend the time to really learn how to play the game. Someone who knows the mechanics of the game and the controls really well can usually always beat a button masher.

Wow! Seriously, it's like taking a trip down memory lane! Good to see you again Azure!

And yeah, I saved the preview videos to my hard drive, it doesn't seem as bad as described by the author, though I'll admit that those are only videos... and they made TMNT2:BN seem not as bad as it was (sad to admit, but the game wasn't that hot). This seems more like a game you'd play with a bunch of friends to kill time... who's the best among button-mashing? It still looks fun, nonetheless, if you have a bunch of friends who have this pride/ego game going, and must be superior to the other. This game looks like you can have a few good laughs beating your friend up. I'll get it regardless, the turtle groupie in me is going to force me to. It has pretty good graphics, as far as I can see. And they look like they'll have special individual attacks. I did want a game similar to Tournament Fighters, this will be that game for me!

I have TMNT 2: Battle NExus also on the PC, and its so beautifull. So really its horrible compared to that.

I'd just like to say, pirating is not cool.

Really The Game Is Pirate...hehehehe......
Hey Any Pics For This New Game??

Supposedly they can only make a certain number of games a year or something like that ....... :ohwell: and the ps2 is releasing TMNT3 in October

as for it not coming out on the ps2, i think its because its intended to be a multiplayer game. With the PS2 only having two controller ports I can understand why they aren't releasing it on the ps2.

I thought the game wasn't suppose to be out in March.

I got it today, havnt played it yet.

I will let you know what I think later.

jestergoblin: With the PS2 only having two controller ports I can understand why they aren't releasing it on the ps2.


but ps2 have a multitap for 4 playes??

I have the multitap for It.
It costs like $30.00.

yes...!!


hey raph do you have the game really?? have any pics?? for this....

Hi NAKI,

I tried making screenshots to prove its not as beutifull as TMNT2 , but I get black screens or a small stroke of the image I printscreened

Sorry

Question is it released in Europe first then the U.S.? *blinks*

I will have a go.

Here you go, this a pic of the first part.

Ive managed to unlock a few archie comics

There is no way to enhance the graphics or to choose your spec, thats why its poor graphics.

Although I'm guessing in the retail version (when its released) you will be able to.

thanks....
do you have any with extras characters??

There are loads of characters, Ive met 2 weird aliens one big grey one with a bowl on its head or somthing and a smaller skinnier one.

I havnt watched season 2 of the tmnt cartoon so I dont know who they are.

But there are loads of unlockables.

The game is fun, it takes some getting use to, the combat system is rather weird. and the game can be very frustrating at times.

But its actually rather fun.

So far ive unlocked april and casey, and I can play their adventures now.

Oh yes, and there are loads of weapons that you or anyone else can pick up.

Swords, Axe's, Hammers, Rocket Launchers, Machine Guns.

jasonorme666 Thanks for the screenshots. Do you agree that the Characters look ugly?? Low skin textures, weird grins, bouncy bandana's. No motion capture. BIg weapons, strange shadows.

Its not like azureTurtle said. that the graphics are the same as TMNT2-Battle Nexus.

Oh and by the way jasonorme666, You said that when the retail version is coming out it will be better, and you can enhance the graphics.
I've been downloading games, for a long time. always a month before they come out, cause then the games are already finished, only not yet in store. And always the downloaded version was the exact same as the retail. So it will stay this ugly...sorry

yup, i too have been downloading games before they come out for years, somtimes months in advance. I always notice that they are perfect quality also.

But now and then you do get the odd few that are uncomplete (very rare).

To me this would certainly seem to be missing either a graphics config file or somthing.

All I can say is just wait for the "In Shop" version, and see how it compares, I very much doubt that they would allow graphics like that to be released, ive seen screenshots and videos of TMNT Melee and the graphics are much nicer.


But personally, I am still enjoying the game.. it was quite hard to look at it after playing games like Half Life 2 and Far Cry on full Spec.

But its still enjoyable.

Another picture

Notice he has his mask on.

Some matches he takes it off, and Ive so far met 2 alternative skins.
