Surprised there's no thread about this game yet.

In case you're not aware, here's the website:

It's a gorgeous 2D XBOX Live Arcade fighting game scheduled to be out sometime early next year. The production is very open to fans so everything they put into the game is being shown in vids and what not. The animations look fantastic and the fighters look extremely unique.

Here's a sample vid of how the game looks.



Anyone else looking forward to this game as much as I am?

 

[fake]

I saw it at NYCC. Looks OK. I didn't want to stand in line to play. I let my friend do that. I haven't talked to him about it yet to see how it is.

 

[cdamm]

that opponent looked cheap as hell!

still there is something to be said for a move that lets you put your opponent into a bag then have your team come over and kick it.

 

[Cavalry]

yeah, I think I'm looking forward to this more than anything right now.

 

[HeartlessNinny]

Looks kinda lame to me. I think I'll stick with KoF XIII (if it ever comes out).

 

[Maury V.]

I interviewed voice actress Cristina Vee last month and talked to her about this for a bit and it looks pretty solid to me! It's at the 8:30 mark.

 

[Gigaton Chode]

I'd wank to that.

 

[complexz]

I usually hate on the girly kinda anime fighters where the character select screen is more like a imaginary girlfriend select screen..... but this doesn't give me that creepy vibe and the engine looks very interesting, plus the GGPO integration

 

[HeartlessNinny]

I'd wank to that.

Admit it, you already did.

 

[SNKorSWM]

I'd wank to that.

Gameplay video or interview video?

 

[Normdog]

Game has interesting visuals. Reminds me of my 5-year-old nephew's cartoon shows.

 

[Hot Chocolate]

If I had a 360 I'd get it

 

[complexz]

If I had a 360 I'd get it

it's on ps3 too

 

[elixir]

Shit is never coming out.

 

[Dio Brando]

Shit is never coming out.

Sounds like you need more fiber in your diet, then.

 

[bokmeow]

Looks super generic. Even if I had an Xbox360 I'd pass.

Then it is getting got, thank you

 

[mesmer]

I'm sick of the game's visuals being called Japanese and/or anime.

 

[$CASHMONEY$]

too bad it doesn't sound as good as it looks... that 'music' is awful..

 

[SSS]

Looks super generic. Even if I had an Xbox360 I'd pass.

I know right, there hasn't been an original fighter since '93 when Sam Sho came out.

 

[cannonball]

The artwork is nice, but I'm not into the 50 hit combo but only takes 1/4 life bar fighting engines. I'd be bored after the first fight.

 

[GregN]

Looks generic, like a flash game. Pass.

 

[ferrarimanf355]

I'd rather play this than Soulcalibur V, though.

 

[mesmer]

Looks generic, like a flash game. Pass.

no sprite rotation, every frame is hand drawn

 

[dspoonrt]

It honestly looks like a much cartoonier Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The pace of the game and the combo engine look largely the same - off-the-grounds seem to play a big role.

If it ends up as a polished, non-glitchy final product, I may pick it up.
