that back pack should have been blue for the win

 

[Dark Cloud]

Might be. It says it's a NS exclusive, but that doesn't mean there isn't a PC port coming, too. I can't read the article to get any other information. I'm curious to see this in action.

He said its direct feed from the game. Why are you saying PC when it's Switch exclusive?

 

[Portugeezer]

As some of you pointed out, we also have a few pieces of concept art on the site. Next week we'll have a video interview with the creators of the game as well as the first gameplay footage.

Let us know if the screens and footage is from the Switch.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

I reckon half these leaks are deliberate ones.

 

[valkillmore]

The kid has wings on his backpack. I wonder if you can fly.

 

[Fujinn]

Aren't these screenshots too wide? Looks like 21:9.

 

[Shahadan]

I don't think it's that impressive tbh? Looks good though.

Now we have to wait a week.

 

[Plum]

Ah the first overhyped indie on a new Nintendo system. Feels like it was just yesterday. Kinda looks to be using those stock UE4 assets from the kite demo.

Gotta keep those scoops coming somehow until the faucet is shut off next year I guess.

Your tag doesn't exactly make this post seem like genuine criticism.

who the fuck is overhyping this? what?

 

[EDarkness]

I can't read French and didn't know whether there was a PC version as well. Exclusive these days doesn't mean complete exclusive. The PC will get a version, too, sometimes. I can never keep that straight.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Time to start bashing indies is upon us apparently.

Nah, he just had to find some way to take a shot at Nintendo, and the only way he could do that in this topic is to downplay the game by any means possible.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I want to see this in motion first.

this game has been in development since 2014 if we go by the only video uploaded on youtube by the developer I wonder if it was always a Switch game back then.

The guy is in the topic. You can probably ask him. He said Switch exclusive on the website and gameplay is coming next week.

 

[Vanillalite]

Going from 3ds games to this in terms of handheld graphics is fucking bonkers.

Are you lost?

Most are

Yeah well, let's see how the console handles handheld mode first. We still have zero clue. I wouldn't be surprised if there were sacrifices

Thanks for the update

 

[10k]

New IP? Sign me up. I need to see gameplay first.

 

[PdotMichael]

It uses the UE4 engine, there is no build for Switch avaiable for indies.

Also the reason why they can show that game.

Any news that could be seen as positive for Nintendo, is like the Bat Signal for P&B. He sees a thread and knows he has to come shit on everything inside.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

going from Wii U to that is a nice step up as well

not mind blowing but it looks good

Havent you see Zelda?
Going from 3ds to switch will blow everybody s mind

It has been pitched at least to ea and sony. Crazy that of all of them it's nintendo that would pick it. Actually the whole story about this studio is crazy, unfortunate it's only available in a french podcast.

 

[Luigiv]

Aren't these screenshots too wide? Looks like 21:9.

They are but they're also exactly 1280 pixels across, which means they were probably just cropped after they were captured.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Looks very nice! My dog and I will enjoy playing this game!

we need some English news sites to report on the team soon I would love to know more

I understand French well enough can you link me to the podcast it would be worth a listen

 

[ArchedThunder]

Yo, this game is a looker, makes me feel really good about the system's capabilities!

 

[EDarkness]

I would have imagined that they would have tested it on an NS by now and that also doesn't mean that they couldn't get the updates from Epic with Nintendo approval. I know that the NS isn't even listed for Unity, but supposedly there are some approved indies that are using it now. The rest of us have to wait until the official launch. Probably the same case for Unreal 4.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Looks gorgeous, wonder why its being revealed this month rather than the Switch event?

 

[Head.spawn]

Ultra-wide support on Switch?

Nice.

 

[KooopaKid]

If those are indeed real-time graphics running on Switch, then the jump from Vita to this is very impressive. A real next-gen jump.

 

[Vanillalite]

Yeah well, let's see how the console handles handheld mode first. We still have zero clue. I wouldn't be surprised if there were sacrifices

Even in lower power mode this shit is gonna be nutz after playing on the DS then 3ds for a decade.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Ultra-wide support on Switch?

Nice.

Doubt it, I think the images have just been cropped.

 

[KAL2006]

Looks gorgeous, wonder why its being revealed this month rather than the Switch event?

Perhaps a surprise embargo lift for ports and indie games in December

Then on the main event they can focus on new stuff.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

yeah that is a bit weird

 

[paragonpro]

Looks like the UE4 Kite demo, doesn't it?

Yes it does...

 

[Dark Cloud]

Maybe to throw us some nice early bones? Lol

This is what I wanted from Nintendo. I wanted them to give us a little Switch news here and there along with some smaller game announcements until Jan 12.

Yes, upper class indies getting early access to engines and builds all the time. Nintendo doesn't give a no name dev without publisher backup the attention of the first announced Nintendo Switch game.

And not even the ratio of those screenshots is correct.

 

[Shahadan]

Zelda is a port of a less demanding game that is already doing big sacrifices and gets away with it because of its artstyle.

We're still not sure how the machine handles games made for Switch specifically. But yeah in any case it'll be better than 3ds that's not hard. Really impatient to get rid of that one

 

[Luigiv]

I'll believe this is running on the Switch when I see it. Even if this game is meant to be Switch exclusive, that doesn't mean these screens can't be bullshots (or not even running on the switch at all). IQ looks way too clean.

 

[Mexen]

The Last of Guardians Part II

 

[ArchedThunder]

If those are indeed real-time graphics running on Switch, then the jump from Vita to this is very impressive. A real next-gen jump.

It actually makes me hopeful on the possibility of Switch getting some multiplatform games.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Wouldn't be a bad idea

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Edit** why would they show off a switch game in ultra wide mode when the tablet isn't ultra wide? That's not a PC screenshot?

 

[EDarkness]

I thought it was implied that they got Nintendo backup? At least that's what I gathered from some of the posts here. If that's the case, then they should have everything they need. No idea about the video, or screen captures, though. I wouldn't doubt they've been edited in some way.

 

[Candescence]

No kidding. Holy fucking shit. This bodes quite well for UE4 and Unity games, at least.

 

[Rodin]

What? Shots are cropped and super compressed, there's aliasing and artifacts everywhere. IQ is the last thing that should make you say this isn't real time. Lighting and foliage on the other hand...

Well, we can also believe that Nintendo allowed a no name indie dev to get early access to the UE4 engine for Switch, getting the pleasure of announcing and showing footage as first dev and everything is tight and exclusive to a French website.

I'm not gonna fight people at this point anymore.

 

[Guymelef]

Wait fot the trailer running on *PC.
