He's also part of the Ninja Tribunal, but I haven't seen all of those episodes yet to now much vital info.

Anyone else here have waning enthusiam about this game? The gameplay itself looks fun, but my main concern for the game is the roster and it doesn't look too interesting so far.

The game comes out in September and so far all we've seen are 2k3/movie characters, and obscure character and (ugh) Rabbids.

Not based on a specific Turtle Universe? They might as well have made it based on the movie-verse.

Then again we did see the Technodrome, but September isn't too far off...

Also, I don't want the ancient one in the game. Last thing we need are fart attacks...

I don't see why the soon release date should have any effect on your concern over the roster. We know there are at least 5-7 more characters left to be revealed. Whether the game comes out next month or 6 months from now isn't going to change that.

In a better show, Venus may have been barely tolerable. In any show, the Ancient One makes it a terrible show. So Confuscious say.

The characters that have been officially announced for the game are all very familiar, such as all four of the turtles themselves. A close ally of the turtles called April O' Neil has been confirmed as well. The classic villains the characters have faced such as Rocksteady and Shredder are joining the fight too. And, of course, the sensei of the characters, Master Splinter, is available in the roster as well.

Wait, what?

*Samhain* · 08-10-2009, 10:17 AM

Ancient one sounds cool but yeah, Slash is better.

The full roster of fighters is yet to be announced but so far we've seen the four turtles, Master Splinter, Shredder and April O' Neil. As well as the likes of series regulars Casey Jones, Bebop and Rock Steady, we reckon you'll also see a few cheeky guest cameos from some of Ubisoft's other franchises too.

So now we have semi-confirmation of not only Leatherhead, but also Bebop and Rocksteady. That would leave 2-4 other slots to be filled if the rumors are true.

TurtleGuy · 08-10-2009, 11:42 AM

W00t w00t! Finally! Everything coming up TurtleGuy! Now a few more and we'll be in business.

*Ninjinister* · 08-10-2009, 11:45 AM

Like with Leatherhead and Fugitoid (before he was confirmed), I'll believe it when I see it. I hope they reveal at least one character this week... they haven't shown us anything since well before SDCC.

Tazi · 08-10-2009, 11:58 AM

One of those articles is a month old. Any other site which reported about Rocksteady/Bebop? I really hope it's true, but I have my doubts...

*Ninjinister* · 08-10-2009, 11:21 PM

This is mighty queer... I cannot seem to access the Characters menu on the official site.

EDIT: Here's an interview I'd never seen before... like most interviews, there's nothing new revealed, although points of interest are the interviewee thinking that Raphael uses swords, and making an uncomfortably out-of-place sex metaphor... o.O

*Samhain* · 08-11-2009, 05:12 PM

When I first heard of this game, I was so ecited. But now Im not that happy bout this game. We havent really gotten any ''new'' characters and everyone looks very cgi movie like. I thought this game was gonna be like a universal tmnt game with a bunch of awesome characters but its not looking that way. Oh and by the way, wth are they usings Lawson's art for those cut scenes, yuck! I mean, jim is a great guy but his art is not my thing, Laird and Eastman art would have worked better. Or Dooney. Just my 2 cents. I will probably get this game anyways. Ill be bitching as I pay for it. LOL.

Totally agree. I just wish the actual comics looked like that.

**Barkworm** · 08-12-2009, 12:48 AM

How does this look any different from Lawson's usual stuff?

*odupianist* · 08-12-2009, 09:55 AM

I'm not an art critic or an expert by any means (despite my love for comics), and I think these are less blocky than teh comics.

The Shelf · 08-12-2009, 10:52 AM

It's not that much different, actually. Compare that with early Volume 4 and late Volume 4 (bottom right picture labeled "Leo is surrounded" has the best example). The only real difference I see between Smash Up and late Volume 4 is the shading or toning or whatever you call it, and his Smash Up work looks a little more refined like he took his time with it. I dunno, though; I'm not an artist or a critic either.

*raphael_is_cool* · 08-12-2009, 02:12 PM

I'm not sure who's inked the Smash Up stuff but it looks a lot better than the Vol. 4 work. I don't think Lawson's artwork was ever that bad; his Return to New York stuff is up there with the Laird and Eastman art and his City at War stuff wasn't terrible. I think you really have to look at the inker a bit as well.
