TMNT: Out of the Shadows - Coming This Summer
 

From Digital Spy:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows has been announced by Activision.

The downloadable title will be available on Xbox Live Arcade, PSN and PC download service Steam this summer.

Inspired by the Nickelodeon animated series, the third-person brawler features a "hyper-realistic 3D-style", "true-to-life" environments and a combo-driven battle system.

Four-player online co-op sees players control Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael as they attempt to defeat the Foot Clan in New York City.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows will be developed by Red Fly Studio, the team behind Thor: God of Thunder and the Wii ports of Ghostbusters: The Video Game and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2.

Awesome! Can't wait for this! :)

Sounds good to me!

Aw. So close.

Just saw this. How is it inspired by the Nickelodeon series when these are the BUTT UGLIEST turtles I have ever seen? They're absolutely hideous.

Goddamn it.

YES! Looks Perfect IMO, it's like a mix between the Nickelodeon Series and the New Action Figures. The Foot Soldiers look exactly the same as the Nick Cartoon.

Pretty much exactly what I expected from a New TMNT Game :) Can't wait.

What action figures make the turtles look like monsters with nostrils and plaque psoriasis?

I need to see some decent pictures before I fully condemn those character designs.

Interesting would love to team up with you guys on ps3

What is bothering you so much? Is it the nostrils? Or the fact that they look like monsters? They are SUPPOSED To be giant mutant freaks, what did you expect?

I'd agree the sudden change in style from the Show may be off putting but come on, it's the perfect blend of the IDW Comics and The Nick Show!

IMO, it's a great update :)

You're absolutely entitled to like it. I just don't think it looks much like anything I've seen. IDW, Nick or elsewhere.

I will say this, I'm glad to see that they have actual elbow and knee pads rather than those ratty bandages they always get in the IDW series.

The designs can grow on me, I suppose. But Red Fly Studio?

Ouch...

Good look
 

I for one like the look, they look fairly realistic (not too toony ala Nick).

Sucks this is a downloadable game and not the full version. I have an Xbox360 but not Xbox live.

I wish there was a high-res version of the trailer. From what I can make out, these seem to be a bit more realistic looking Turtles. Can someone try to make some screencaps from it?

I have.... mixed feelings about this.. and Raph's face creeped me out.

Finally! A Turtles game I can play on the Playstation 3!

Dude, you just made my day! :trazz:

Download only? Not on Wii?

No go for me.

Yay, Steam version :)

The trailer looked decent enough. Keeping expectations in check but i'm still stoked for this.

Can anyone find a better quality trailer though? To not release an HD trailer in this day in age is an insult. That video quality is garbage.

*edit*

FOUND, 720p below

I'm not getting the impression that this is based on the Nick show at all, despite the description. Will still buy.

Here is a high quality image of the 4 Turtles in the Game:

Here we go:

Captures (pt. 1) click for larger -- it may be 720p but the video quality is highly compressed. best i can do

I can't help but wonder why the press release states that the game is "Inspired by the Nickelodeon animated series"....

It doesn't look like the Nickelodeon show at all. It's clearly a new, realistic design approach to TMNT.
In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this look will end up resembling the upcoming Bay Turtles more then the Nick show.

Could it be that this game will try to warm us up to what's to come Bay-wise?

DUM DUM DUUUUUUUM! :teek:

it looks nothing like the nick version :D .....But I'll buy it :3 they do look cool~

.....I wonder if Mikey will be able to use his kusarigama? :T

only Nick inspired gotta be the wrapped feet, besides that they are pretty generic, flaring nostrils considered.

It should read, "Inspired by the success of the Nickelodeon animated series."

Inspired by that money.

Wow, those designs are awful.

Y'know, I think these designs are pretty good for a downloadable game. I wouldn't be upset if the Bay TMNT looked similar.

You All missed that detail: "Based on the Nickelodeon Series"
Not:"Based on the art and design of the Nickelodeon Show"

Seriously....come on.

If the design is different, the story isn't connected.

You have to admit that it’s odd if they’d have redesigned the Turtles solely for this downloadable game…

If you look at the different designs of the on-screen TMNT Turtles since their birth it’s unprecedented.

Not considering their looks in comics, these are the different Ninja Turtles we’ve had so far:

1987: first animated TV show

1990: the movie look (with it’s sequels roughly based on the same design)

1997: Next Mutation

2003: second animated tv show

2007: CG feature

(Up until now all past video games featuring the Turtles have been based on these looks)

2012: third animated tv show

2013: Out of Shadows

2014: Bay

That in mind- it seems to me that Nickelodeon is a bit overzealous in redesigning the Turtles, don’t you think. Three completely different looks in three years seems a bit much.

That’s why I thought Out of the Shadows (or OOTS :) ) might be more than just a one shot for a downloadable game and why it might not be all too different from the look Bay is pursuing.

In fact it’s a pretty good idea to check if a look is suitable for the future. If the fan reactions are bad there’s still time to change it and OOTS’ll ‘just be a video game’.

Then again, maybe I’m wrong and OOTS will be unconnected from all the rest. It’s sure be a first but stranger things have happened.
Megan Fox will be April O'Neil... Nothing surprises me anymore.

I'm not really against them not basing the design of the turtles on their nick counterparts since I prefer a more mature look; but I really didn't like what I saw in the trailer. Something about the textures and models they used just doesn't sit well with me. It's not the shape or design that bothers me, it just doesn't look well presented. I'd venture to say that this is probably due to the fact that it is a downloadable game done by a minor studio, and that it didn't spend as much time in development as it should have. I was concerned about this the when the activision partnership was announced, but now I fear my concerns have become a reality.

I'm not gonna bash it till I see it in action, but I'm really worried about the quality of the game... I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Great Image of the Turtles in the New Game

Also check out their Facebook Page: Facebook.com/TMNTOutOfTheShadows
They have Exclusive stuff on the Game :)

what exclusive? There's nothing new on their FB page as of now.


Edit: Hey! I see a new Nick influence, Raph got his plastron chip and he got green eyes as well as Mikey and Leo got blue eyes.

There will be Exclusive info in the future. They literally JUST Launched their Facebook Page!

And we can officially say that this Game will be 'Influenced' by the Nick Cartoon rather than based on it.

(I also noticed a Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze reference in the Trailer at the very end where it seems like the Turtles are backing up, but they're actually crushing a robot with their shells similiar to how they crushed that Guy on the Vanilla Ice Dance Club!)

Yup that is definitely an unmistakable sign. The environments look familiar too, the dojo area is in their lair you can tell, it matches the Nick version close enough.

I'm giving it room to grow on me. I don't dislike the look, it's just different. I'd prefer a more Nick-authentic look but I'm flexible.

Maybe we get alternate skins to unlock where they look like the nick toon

soooooooo :3 do you think they will have different voices? :D
or the same?

cause I can't imagine Greg Cipes voice for that Mikey XD (I still kinda hope he does it anyway though...)

They'll probably use the Nick cast. they did used the 4Kids cast for ReShelled
