Well, at least they remembered the Equalists. I hope the Liutenant will be a boss.

And it seems you can vote for the cover between three options:

Tough call. They all look pretty neat.

 

[Vitanimus]

my mind is seriously blown right now


this is the best ;_____;

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

um... why is Korra white in all of these?

Probably haven't inked the full colors yet.

what in the chocolate fuck is going on? Weird!

Wait what this i don even.

 

[hughesta]

Just woke up and checked GAF and whaaattttt

 

[Hamlet]

um... why is Korra white in all of these?

"Check out these concept art designs and let us know which should be the final cover art"

 

[abadguy]

They seem to be getting plenty from Microsoft and Nintendo.

A sequel to Rising is also pretty much guaranteed.

I love seeing them get this much work. Sony needs to step up now and fund a game.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Can we just let Platinum make all video games now?

Give it to Platinum™

 

[BumblebeeCody]

I really should watch the Avatar series especially now since it's been developed by Platinum. No idea what to expect other than it being fun as hell.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Wait a minute, isn't Activision supposed to be on EA levels of douchbaggery?

2nd

 

[Htown]

Meh, both are overrated.

If anything, Korra is underrated. People act like it's the worst thing to ever happen to television.

 

[Shyakugaun]

Avatar is not as good of a Series as Naruto, but it's worthy enough for me to check out this game when it releases

 

[ultron87]

It'd be cool if the Pro-Bending it mentions is in there as a kind of separate mode where you can play a league Blitzball style.

 

[Mr. X]

Or maybe Platinum Games is just that cheap now that Sega won't give them any money.

They were an independent dev studio from the jump. They pitch prototypes or get contracted to make games for pubs. If they fell from Sega's good graces (which I doubt) they ended up now with Nintendo and MS and now Acti is giving them work which are all bigger than Sega.

Sony needs to get in on the PG train.

Platinum, make a game based on this gif!

I think I like the top cover as it most accurately reflects the Avatar's role. Worth noting though that I haven't seen Korra yet (once it's all out on DVD I'll buy and watch it all), so I won't be able to play this. Loved Avatar though, and I know this won't be as good, but it'll still be better than most TV shows.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

One of those rare times when the videogame adaptation will be better than the anime?

 

[munchie64]

I need a trailer. Preferably a 60fps PC version.

 

[Kuro]

Korra is an awful show but I liked ATLA and this game could be pretty cool.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Wait a minute, isn't Activision supposed to be on EA levels of douchbaggery?

If Platinum thinks they're OK, then I think they're OK too.

 

[Byronic Hero]

It's download only and published by activision so I don't know.....

Still, it's Platinum and Korra. I was hoping for Kill la Kill, but this is the second choice I didn't even know I wanted.

 

[-Horizon-]

"Platinum..."



"Legend of Korra"

:/

Ehhhh, excitement lost.

 

[Phades]

Why would that be great? That would be shit. I don't understand. Why would you want that? What kind of person does this make you? What is GAF to you? A plaything?

Spoiler

/s

Seriously though I'm hopping for the best.

 

[Psychoward]

Wish it was based on TLA instead, but this is still awesome. A game set in the Avatar universe made by an actually good action studio.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

And with Activision no less. Well holy shit, color me surprised.

Will buy, just because P*.

 

[J10]

Hang on a second. Platinum Games is going to make an action game with element bending?

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

I would've much preferred a game revolving around the cast of the first series(The Last Airbender) on one of their many adventures after the conclusion(which they hinted about, hence they didn't save the world and stay idle). Though, if it's Korra, I'll take it solely because I love the world of Avatar, and in Korra's time, love how they've merged the fantasy Asian world of The Last Airbender with steampunk. If Platinum delivers a great game, I'm there!

Its a quick downloadable game.

Nothing AAA by Platinum so it's not REALLY the game Avatar fans wished for.

But anything PG is a good thing so no complaints (for now)

 

[RangerBAD]

No bat-shit insane story though. I need Japanese story shenanigans in my Platinum games.

 

[Despera]

"Check out these concept art designs and let us know which should be the final cover art"

"And btw, we colored everything in all 3 except the main character... whoops!!"

 

[Narroo]

Aw, but legend of Korra sucks. Why not Aang?

Heck, it seems book 3 is about how Korra continues to screw the world up.

Spoiler

"Korra, not content with undoing hundreds of years of avatar links, now is destroying the world by undoing the balance of spirits to the human world!"

 

[KHlover]

Interesting. Korra's not a bad choice for a game. The simpler ways in which bending gets used (relative to ATLA) are probably an advantage when it comes to making a game and mapping buttons, and it's a video game so the weaker writing isn't an issue. I'll definitely keep an eye on this, given Platinum's reputation.

As of the leaked episodes of LOK season 3 this isn't really true anymore. Bending in LOK was just limited by having to avoid property damage in the city. Season 3 has removed that and as a result the level of bending went way up.

 

[Kuro]

If anything, Korra is underrated. People act like it's the worst thing to ever happen to television.

Korra is a terrible character, the writing is cheap, too much teenager romance drama with the love triangle. After ATLA's somewhat good run Korra is just sub par crap.

Activision is bigger than Sega, but I don't believe that Activision will bother giving Platinum enough time or money to actually make a good licensed game.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Whoa. This could be amazing.

I wonder. Can we fully explore Republic City or is it a linear brawler? What about bending? Will it limited in use or can we string together huge bending combos? What about other characters?

 

[ChipotIe]

um... why is Korra white in all of these?

Because the box art is unfinished.

 

[Fireblend]

Yep. I want this.

 

[Kyzon]

Anyone know the original video of this?

I don't mind the fact it's a downloadable game. I think the cel-shaded style looks great. And yeah, I trust PG more than a lot of other studios regarding quality.

 

[Cornbread78]

I wonder who is directing it.

Well, we know it's not Kamiya since he is locked in on Scalebound and from his comments over the past couple years, he's not exactly a fan of Sony...

 

[Mononoke]

I really should watch the Avatar series especially now since it's been developed by Platinum. No idea what to expect other than it being fun as hell.

Yep, but it's also really epic. You will be surprised by how fleshed out the world is and how mature the themes/subtext are. The ending is also really satisfying (from a character/ plot perspective).

Korra Book 1 was pretty good (shit finale). Book 2 was pretty awful.

 

[ClearData]

I love both Korra and Platinum so sign me up.

 

[hughesta]

It's a downloadable game, so I'm just expecting a beat em up.

I'm fully confident in the P* train though WOOOO

 

[Sayter]

You'd think with the Nickelodeon IP they're going with this would be more of a fit for the WiiU.

 

[rmanthorp]

WHAT IF YOU CAN PLAY AS LIN BEIFONG THO?!

 

[Dark-VIII]

Not a fan of the show but Platinum though!
any word on the director?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Korra is a terrible character, the writing is cheap, too much teenager romance drama with the love triangle. After ATLA's somewhat good run Korra is just sub par crap.

The writing is hit or miss for sure, but counterpoint: she looks cool when she's kicking the shit out of people, so a game dedicated to that by the masters of games about cool looking characters kicking the shit out of people has the potential to be fantastic.

 

[Blades64]

Avatar is not as good of a Series as Naruto, but it's worthy enough for me to check out this game when it releases

What in the world did just read?

 

[New002]

Sweet.

 

[ohNOitsRO]

Nice I'm down

The avatar universe is great and the Korra series is awesome, can't wait for Fridays book three premier
