TMNT: Smash-Up - Page 12

*Mecha Cow* · 01-26-2009, 05:22 PM

Those screens actually look pretty nice, and they don't even seem like bullshots either. Consider me cautiously optimistic.

*Spitfire* · 01-26-2009, 10:35 PM

I still have this false hope that a Mirage or even cartoon style will be an unlockable extra costume. If it's like Smash each character should have 4 variations. I just hope it isn't just skin tone.

I'm really excited to see the Turtles getting some positive press on the big game sites. I won't get too positive until we find out that we'll have the ability to play the game sans-waggle.

Like Spit, I also hope for some kind of Mirage-like skin for all the characters, or at least the Turtles. Also, I hope to God they go completely overboard on the inclusion of obscure and classic characters. And if we look at Smash, the likelihood of clone characters is inevitable, but maybe they'll go insane and make them something like Image-style Cyborg Donny, which would be Rawsome!

And as Ray Barnholt said over on 1up, we NEED OT characters like Krang in there. NEED! PLEASE!

*R-iZZy* · 01-27-2009, 03:03 AM

Screens look decent, although Peter Laird doing the story makes me a bit skeptical. He hasn't been the same with stories since Kevin Eastman was still tagging with him.

But the fact that Mirage is actually working on the roster is f*cking awesome! Rat King, Leatherhead, maybe a bit of Justice Force, Radical, Carnage; the possibilities are endless.

*Kid Icarus* · 01-27-2009, 08:56 AM

I saw the screens on gamasutra at work last night... and then I foud out about the reissue figures. Best night ever? Pretty close!

Excuse me while I go sob in the corner and ponder my pitful existance

Dunno if someone posted this yet.

Don't you just love these motivating quotes by gary?

I guess you guys still haven't seen these.

We have, or rather, I have, at least... they're the ones that were in Nintendo Power, and also at IGN.

*VaughnMichael* · 01-27-2009, 10:59 AM

Yeah they're not based on the movie style guide or anything.

*Ninjinister* · 01-27-2009, 11:46 AM

Unless I missed something, I'm pretty sure that had already been established.

Huh? Really? I'm looking at IGN right now and I don't see them. Plus, the pics are listed as March 16, leading me to believe those are images from the movie based game, and not images of the current game. At least 2 of them are from yesterday, but the rest are all wrong.

That would make no sense... especially since Splinter only appeared in static cutscenes in the previous game.

TerranigmaFreak · 01-27-2009, 12:47 PM

Oh, ok, I see. IGN fudged up the screens. They actually posted screens from this game into the movie game section as well, yet I didn't see the large turtles images there.

*Ninjinister* · 01-27-2009, 02:16 PM

Bah... IGN's always buggered.

Well they kept saying the characters wouldn't have any set style guide and looking at everything it's all taken from the much over used movie styles.

*Kendamu* · 01-27-2009, 06:11 PM

I thought people were saying that, story-wise, it wasn't based in any specific universe.

That's because all the people who are working on the game saw the new CGI movie recently and loved it. They thought the style was "dark" and blah blah. It makes sense why they went with it since they like the style but the rest of us won't agree with them. None of them follow the comics and were all previously viewers of the first cartoon. Only the president of the project said he's a fan of the comics.

I hope like I said earlier that alternate costumes including a cartoon and comic style are selectable. If they are I'll never even play as the movie designs.

It has always been said that the look of the game would be taken from the last movie game (those models and sets are already built, so it saves a hell of a lot of money). The story is not based on any existing story from any particular universe.

Ah my bad, I must have read that wrong then.
While I just recently have played that movie game and it is a bit fun, I'm gonna pass on this one I've just had way to much of looking at the movie designs now to last me a life time.
These people need to learn when to much is just to much.

It's a fighting game, what kind of story could it possibly have?
