Platinum Games (Bayonetta/Metal Gear Rising) making new TMNT game? - Page 21

old_hob88 · 01-26-2016, 08:06 AM

This is the first time in memory I'm actually excited for a TMNT game. This looks like it'll be the best one in a very long time.

*shuriken* · 01-26-2016, 08:30 AM

^^ I agree. And I don't even have a current gen system.

*Bry* · 01-26-2016, 08:33 AM

...I think I want to kiss this game on the mouth.

(Listen, I'm allowed to be weird right now.

)

But yeah. Gorgeous art design, Santolouco's style is damn well represented, and it looks like a ton of fun. So, so nice to see IDW represented like this -- it's the current TMNT property that most deserves it. As long as the gameplay is solid this will be an insta-buy.

They could have based this on the movie, thank god they did not.

It's heartening that almost everyone else involved in creating for the property seems to actively avoid the BayTurtles and their style whenever possible. No final judgments until the game's actually out, but this feels like a reminder that there are some actual fans (or people who appreciate the better parts at least) trying to do the TMNT justice.

Well, aside from triggering some horrific flashbacks to this guy...

...I'd say I'm sold

*TigerClaw* · 01-26-2016, 08:52 AM

You can pre-order the game on Amazon, it looks like the 360 and PS3 version are 39.99, while the Xbox One and PS4 version are 49.99.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 01-26-2016, 09:03 AM

That was pretty radical!

I would have preferred if they'd used the art style of the turtles before or after Mateus Santolouco's designs as they're my least favorite of the IDW series. But I can't deny that this still looks awesome! Armaggon is in it! I'm stoked!

Hopefully there will be an NX version.

*MikeandRaph87* · 01-26-2016, 09:13 AM

So it's live now. The only thing on the site at the moment is the trailers. I was hoping for a set of character profiles and a synopsis of the plot.

I guess Armaggon is just a Foot mutant as Buldgeon is in IDW. No time travel gimmick associated with him.

*Bry* · 01-26-2016, 09:24 AM

Curious if there'll be any significant graphical difference between PS3/X360 and PS4/XBONE... Obviously the framerate will be much better on the PS4, but I wouldn't really expect anything too major otherwise considering the cell-shaded/stylized look of the game. But hopefully we'll see some kind of comparison before release?

Kind of irrelevant for me, as I don't have a PS4 and can't afford/justify getting one anyway. Still curious, though!

I doubt the frame rate will be different actually as none of their previous games were like that transformers ran at 60 fps most of the time on ps3. What last gen will be missing is more stable 60 fps, 1080p and smoother image quality.

a good example of what you would be missing out on if you buy last gen.

Yeah, I get that. I checked some comparison videos of PS3 vs. PS4 Dragon Ball Xenoverse as well, as I assumed it might be a similar situation considering the visual style.

Obviously the PS4 version looks a bit better, can't deny that. But the level of difference I see here isn't enough to justify buying a whole new console at this point.

The FF7 remake will probably make that purchase for me, but that's a ways off yet.

Cool, nice that we have a new shot with Rocksteady, but I don't know why his eyes are glowing yellow?

I wonder why they used Armaggon instead of Bludgeon? Armaggon isn't that well known (he only recently appeared in the Nick cartoon, and only has a role in tournament fighters that casuals would know about) so I wonder why.

*Powder* · 01-26-2016, 12:40 PM

Unless he's slated to appear in the comics, I'd guess he's a favorite of the team & they were given some creative freedom. Maybe they did it as an homage to Tournament Fighters.

*MikeandRaph87* · 01-26-2016, 12:42 PM

Tom, if you are lurking, when might we know the characters included in the game? The prospe t of minning the wealrh of characters has me eally interested in the game.

*Autbot_Benz* · 01-26-2016, 01:00 PM

Amazon lists the game as $39.99 for 360 and PS3 and $49.99 for the One and PS4

The game is coming out September 21st 2016 from what Amazon says. That is funny I thought it was a summer release.

*plastroncafe* · 01-26-2016, 01:08 PM

Saw links to this, did not click them until now.
It took me a second or two to realize this was the IDW turtles, and then...I got really excited about it.
(I'll admit, it wasn't until April that I clued in.)

Looks great!

Last day of summer is the 21st of September. That's what you call cutting it close
