Platinum make fun games. This will probably be fun. Korra is easily the worst but that is still 'feels' good. Even if it does feel not as good as everything else they've put out. But this looks more like a Transformers Devastation budget game, and I'm still surprised by how good that game was. So I have faith in our Platinum coated overlords.

 

[Bronetta]

I still need to pick up Transformers Devastation, damn I'm falling behind on the Platinum love.

 

[Chillz0r]

If it ends up looking and playing as good as Transformer Devastation AND have some proper coop im there day 1

 

[ar4757]

looks meh
hate cell shading

What about wind waker cell shading

 

[sajj316]

Same here .. Like the art style. If they can bring back the feeling of playing Turtles the Arcade game when it came it .. I'm all in!

 

[Übermatik]

Shadows are shockingly bad.

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

So we know there's co-op, but whether it's online or split screen isn't known yet correct?

Really hoping for split screen for some couch co-op.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Everyone's bitchin about a nose and I'm over here mad that there weapons glow lol either way I'm in day one

 

[Q8D3vil]

Yeah, look very rough, but i guess its a very low budget game + 60 fps.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

This is not the Rocksteady Turtles game I was always hoping for.

Last gen needs to go away already damnit!

 

[Daingurse]

I didn't even like these designs, but the faces here look better than in this new game lol.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

This is not the Rocksteady Turtles game I was always hoping for.

Last gen needs to go away already damnit!

Platinum combat > Rocksteady combat

Are we using "last gen" as a derogatory term for lower budget games now?

 

[ResourcefulStar]

Are we using "last gen" as a derogatory term for lower budget games now?

It's a cross-gen game: http://portal.mj.gov.br/Classificac...JogoForm.do?select_action=&tbjogo_codigo=7070

 

[Future PhaZe]

We need a no noses petition asap

 

[Whompa02]

Looks cool but I wish the shadows weren't textures. I wish the style flowed more dynamically. It was an issue I had with the Transformers game too. Looked nice in still shots but the actual in game looked too polygonal and flat. Wish it was more organic like the tv show.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Can someone at Platinum get rid of those noses before release please? They look shit.

Pretty disappointed with this visually. It's not tickling any nostalgia or excelling in any area. It really looks like a very budget Turtles game with slightly off art direction. Not really up to the usual Platinum snuff tbh.

And I don't want to hear any "b-b-b-b-but thats how the IDW Turtles look!" because many different artists have worked on that title and they've looked a LOT better, Ben Bates run in particular:

I've always said they should have just copied the NECA toy design as they're the defacto nostalgic Turtle design since with coloured headbands they straddle the original comic and the show's action figure packaging:

I'm getting a feeling this game has an even slimmer budget/timescale than Transformers or its just by a group in Platinum that give less of a shit than Saito's chosen squad.

 

[MrBadger]

Ahh, didn't know that. (although it should be obvious. I'm not thinking today)

Still, I don't think that changes much, assuming the scope and budget of this game is similar to Transformers.

 

[antitrop]

Platinum combat > Rocksteady combat

And it's not even close.

 

[dan2026]

Damn so much Platinum hate in here. I thought they were quite well respected.

 

[bumpkin]

Hideous.

I hate to be a debby downer, but I was really hoping for Nickelodeon TMNT style. Even if they add skin options in the game to switch, that'd be fine. I really don't like the way this looks.

Also, WTF at them wearing headsets with antennas?

 

[mrmickfran]

Don't forget Guilty Gear Xrd. Arc System Works outclassed even CC2 with that game, 3D close ups that look eerily close to anime, "2D" graphics that makes you forget they're not sprites.

Don't know how I could forget Arc System Works. GG Xrd looks glorious.

 

[The Boat]

I still need to pick up Transformers Devastation, damn I'm falling behind on the Platinum love.

Same here bro...netta.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Looks good, can't wait. Loved Transformers.

Next, let Platinum work on this.

You jumped in and took this right from my heart didn't you? I would love for this to happen.

As for this TMNT, I am liking what I see so far! (noses being a little speed bump)

 

[zeroroute]

Transformers gameplay is wild though, there's never been a deeper TF game. When a character action god like Saur loves it, you know it's good.

Thanks for linking this. Why doesn't this guy have more subs?

 

[dan2026]

Seems like there is definatly some inspriration from IDW.
Bebop with a chainsaw for one.

 

[kodecraft]

Since it's cell-shaded, I hope they pull another Transformers and nail the particle effects to really make it shine in motion:

Its cool, but I don't want all that flair in a TMNT.

 

[kodecraft]

In fact i was waiting for a dark themed TMNT all time (Rocksteady style), but because of the Platinum Games, then i am ok with it

A Rocksteady's TMNT is the TMNT we deserve.

Platinum combat > Rocksteady combat

Nothing makes you feel more like the character being a bad ass then the combat system Rocksteady cooked up.

Add the Dual switch/combat Rocksteady gave us with Arkham Knight and you have what TMNT should be.

So in that instance RS combat > P*.

 

[texhnolyze]

Holy shit I definitely won't be able to play that game.
If TMNT is anything like that then I'm out.

 

[Jazzkokehead]

Everyone's bitchin about a nose and I'm over here mad that there weapons glow lol either way I'm in day one

Both the weird weapon glow and the appearance of the Turtles are pretty awful, but one's a lot worse than the other.

 

[ScriptedReality]

I like it, even the noses. I need to destroy my backlog so I can get to transformers and other games... *sigh*

 

[Kouichi]

Rocksteady and Platinum are both great picks for TMNT, but I'd much rather have Platinum do it if I had to pick. Platinum are just perfect for the kind of colorful, crazy, and humorous style that TMNT embodies.

 

[krang]

They look like bald dudes in an average display of cosplay...

I think it's the noses and proportions.

 

[Shin-Ra]

They could be 3DS bullshots!

 

[Possumowner]

Similar in look to Transformers Devastation...which ain't a bad thing as that was a great little game.Hopefully co-op is great.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Platinum combat > Rocksteady combat

And it's not even close.

Amen.

 

[G-Fex]

Everyone whining about the stupidest things.

I don't necessarily want to feel like a "bad ass" or empowered. I want to feel the struggle and progression. I want to feel myself progressing by getting better and better. None of the arkham games offered me this. Platinum combat is exponentially more engaging and fun when you get into it. Rocksteady's combat is a lot more instant gratification granting but it also doesn't have as much space to grow. The highs that Platinum combat reaches are on a whole another league compared to rocksteady combat.

The same can be said about RS combat though. Watch some high level players on YouTube playing Arkham and pulling high combos, mixed variations and not getting hit once.

Either way, players can struggle and progress with both combat styles.

It ain't just about combat when talking RS, their TMNT would have the lore, easter eggs, soundtrack, and great dialogue.

But that's a fantasy, back to the thread.

Me actually playing like a badass and being in absolute control over the badassery happening on screen makes me feel like way more of a badass than the rythem action, simon says button tapping of Rocksteady's games.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

No of course. A game about martial artist mutants shouldnt have the same amount of flair as a game about ass kicking robots.

The things I read on this forum I swear.. .

Im convinced that half of you have no interest in this game but are just bitching because its not a AAA hand-crafted to tickle your nostaliga itch.

That game was never going to happen. People dont give a fuck about turtles like that. Hell I dont think they ever did. Plus activision is never going to give anything not named Call of Duty a decent dev time or budget.

If spiderman, who is by far more popular didnt get anything but a "ok" set of games since the 90's I really dont know how people are expecting miricles with turtles license.


We knew the game was coming from platinum, we knew the game was going to be published by activision. Adjust your expectations.

 

[mrmickfran]

Holy shit I definitely won't be able to play that game.
If TMNT is anything like that then I'm out.

?

But it looks awesome.

 

[shaowebb]

This game and Transformers Devastation are gorgeous. Has Platinum ever had interviews outlining their particular cel shading work flow? It looks miles beyond everyone elses.

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

Holy shit I definitely won't be able to play that game.

It's really not as hard to follow as this GIF makes it out to be. This is a REALLY extreme example. I'd say Bayonetta had more going on than this did.

 

[Kurt Angle]

Like clockwork the first post is nit picking the least important shit

this is important

fuck noses

 

[dan2026]

They could be 3DS bullshots!

You arent trolling hard enough.

It looks like a GBA game.

But serously why havent they announced this game?
That is concernig.

 

[User 479360]

I'm not sure of what to think about the art style, but it'll likely look better in action.

 

[DemoCracy]

I like PG games. It seems such as T. I'm interesting to play this pure action game. I hope it will be a good action game based on TMNT.

 

[Chû Totoro]

Ugly art style. It's a no for me.

Sorry P* but I can't go with this design... even if I knew I probably wouldn't like the design and be alone (yeah I like the TMNT 2012 design... sorry).

 

[napalmjam]

I really want to be excited but if it's as barebones as transformers devastation I won't bite.
