TMNT: Smash-Up - Page 17

Oh yeah, I want to direct your attention to this screen shot.

Notice the lack of glow on the Turtles? Looks like it can be turned off. Having a choice is always nice.

Blade Raider · 02-28-2009, 08:16 PM

That looks soooooooooooooo much better without the glow. Now they look like part of the environment.

Als, looks like they fixed the odd color choices for the glows. Now Leo's is blue and not green.

Hopefully we'll eventually get some solid info.

The glow is probably for when you do power moves or something.

The Glow?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Sho'nuff!!

I remember reading some where that the glow is to help figure out which character you are. Example, player one is blue, player two is red, etc. I guess that could help you figure out which character you are but also looks like it can be distracting.

Why does it look like Leo's shell is strapped on? I swear if Raph were to slash his belt off, Leo's shell would come flying right off.

They're all that way. Probably so they can be agile without having to make the shell bend.

I do believe GoongaSnatch is correct. It appears the hard, ridged carapace is attatched on the upper-back, allowing the waist area to be flexible. ...even though the plastron would also be ridged...

Yeah, but we've always had good reason to suspect there is more to those shells than nature would imply:

Eh?

Leo's shell looks like bad rigging, hopefully they'll fix it

The IGN blog was updated (see a few posts up for the link). Matt goes over the reasoning for the art direction, which makes perfect sense to me.

Blade Raider · 03-17-2009, 07:20 PM

I do thank them for the white eyes (though they were white in the movie game), but it still feels like a copy&paste of the movie game's models.

If they really looked well intro the different designs, they should have realized they could just make their own.

*Ninjinister* · 03-23-2009, 08:09 PM

Official site has a picture of the game's cover. It's just the Nintendo Power cover all over again. Phooey.

*R-iZZy* · 03-24-2009, 04:49 AM

Aaaaand, Leo and Raph take center stage while Mikey and Don play the back. Old habits die hard.

*Ninjinister* · 03-24-2009, 03:17 PM

Quite unfortunate, isn't it? But then again, given the teaser trailer, it wasn't unexpected....
