Click for full.

There's uber high-res art, but I may have to provide that via MEGA or something, but I could give you a small preview pic. It's the box art without the logos, and there's also the logo on its own. And a STEAM medal logo.

 

[Squidofman]

It SOUNDS so good on paper. And probably will be. But it looks so gross.

 

[Immaculate]

 

[Busaiku]

Yeah, it's not doing well with that cover.

 

[Pops Maellard]

It SOUNDS so good and paper. And probably will be. But it looks so gross.

Honestly looks like a late DS game.

 

[Fireblend]

Need a trailer to do further judgement.

 

[Currygan]

hmmmm

 

[James Scott]

The concept sounds great, but those screens are awful. They should've waited till tomorrow to show the game off with a trailer

 

[FLAguy954]

.

 

[Jarmel]

Yea this not what I expected and I'm not sure if I like.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

While I am thankful for new IPs, I would have been much more excited had we gotten Majora instead.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

At least the art looks good on paper.

Well, not so much on character designs.

 

[oatmeal]

Looks like shit. Need to see in motion, should have been on Wii U.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Was this the major 3DS reveal that was hyped?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Something about the art makes me think of a knockoff JJBA... interested to see the Treehouse stuff tomorrow.

 

[Comet]

Looks blah, sounds great

 

[Papytendo]

Is this a TBS?

 

[jeenaudx]

why is everyone complaining about how this looks?
it looks fantastic to me.

 

[VARIA]

I hope this plays better than it looks.

 

[fredrancour]

Well. That cover. Hope for a financial success was nice while it lasted.

Honestly looks like a late DS game.

You cannot have experienced the soul-destroying trauma of DS 3d if you think that. I'm definitely not sold on those screenshots, but damn it would have been so much worse

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Hahaha. I don't know why I was expecting this to look like a sepia colored Child of Light.

It sounds so good, but looks so bad.

 

[DECK'ARD]

After all the mentions of Valkyria Chronicles, the actual art is like a slap in the face, ugh.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

The cover looks okay, but the childish direction taken with that cover is going to put people off.

Edit: Yeah the cover looks a lot better in the larger version where you can easily see the comic dots all over the characters. It gives it a more stylistic vibe, not much of a low tier cover aimed at younger audiences vibe.

 

[mjc]

Uhhhh hmm.

Not quite what I was expecting.

 

[Big One]

I like the art style a lot actually, they just need to edge out the graphics a little bit.

 

[plutoknight]

Looks like a 3DS game, to me. Want to see how it plays. Glad Nintendo is branching out a bit this E3.

 

[silver.tongue]

Looks awful in stills... Need to see in motion to make a better judgment though.

 

[Divvy]

I can see the Mignola influence in the cover, but I don't think it translated in game. Nevertheless, IntSys sRPG is a mustbuy

 

[DashReindeer]

The Mignola comparisons may have been a biiiiiit premature, but I still think this sounds like it could be something really special.

 

[Cosmozone]

My first impression is that it looks somewhat Aztecian? How does it mix with Steampunk I wonder.

 

[Zeeman]

I like it, but then I liked ALBW's artstyle when it was first revealed, so I'm clearly not in sync with the GAF hivemind

 

[VanWinkle]

Eechh. Interesting concept, though.

 

[Crocodile]

I think the boxart looks pretty good. Screenshots less so but we'll get video tomorrow so who cares about screenshots right now.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Yea, I think I'm gonna need a trailer. These aesthetics don't do anything for me, nor do the concept justice, personally.

 

[PixyJunket]

#BearGrenade.

 

[aza]

I'm not into strategy games, but as far as looks go, I think it looks fine.

 

[Nalsh]

why is everyone complaining about how this looks?
it looks fantastic to me.

I think it's pretty, but doesn't fall into what I like visually.

 

[Lijik]

I think the art style looks rad

 

[Smooth Operator]

The art style...

 

[EulaCapra]

It looks like they're fighting Suicune's.

 

[Kusagari]

The constant comparisons to Valkyria are doing the art no favors.

 

[Hours Left]

The screens look a bit meh, but I think the box art does a better job of conveying the look. Seeing it in motion will be the real test.

Everything else about it sounds great though.

 

[baconcow]

Well... not sure. Not the look I expected. Would have loved an AW sequel from IS.

 

[BorkBork]

Looks totally like Elite Beat Agents.

Awesome.

 

[bon]

Already rated? Did they say if it's this year or next?

 

[Kimawolf]

Yeah clicking on the box art it looks A LOT better. I imagine it'll look pretty nice tomorrow in the stream and some direct feed images, or on my 3DS. I am not worried. And as an American comic's fan i definitely see the inspiration, look at the box art closer you'll see it all up in there.

 

[Gartooth]

I don't have a problem with the artstyle, reminds me a bit of EBA which I absolutely loved.

Really want to see footage of this in action, but I definitely get a VC vibe.

 

[Neiteio]

Oh wow, I was totally ready to write this off as looking "focus group tested," but then I clicked the box art and looked at the large version. I recommend everyone does the same. It actually looks really good -- the art has Jack Kirby dots for that Silver Age flair!

 

[Amazeballs]

Hahaha. I don't know why I was expecting this to look like a sepia colored Child of Light.

It sounds so good, but looks so bad.

Strange. This is exactly what I was hoping for as well.

I really hope this game succeeds. It sounds good on paper but I fear that and good ideas it brings may be undermined by its choice in art style.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Graphically/Aesthetically it looks like complete shit.
