What a generic title.... and those graphics are almost ok for DS.

Have you actually looked at the detail on those graphics? Just because a game chooses a relatively simple art design does not mean the graphics are "almost ok for DS".

Think the graphics look very nice actually.

They do look quit enice for DS don't they? Pity it's coming out on Wii though. Smilie

Seriously, just look at the textures on the houses in the third screen. The graphics are very, very good.

FFS, are you lot deluded by the "brown is real" bug or something?

gah. I hate this "DS" comparison that gets chucked up every time a game has graphics people dont like.

Seriously, the only way the DS could do a screen like;
http://www.cubed3.com/media/2007/September/jesusraz/king5.jpg

Would be if the backgrounds and houses were just static pics.

But even then a DS certainly couldnt do that degree of AA, nor Texture filtering, and especialy not the subtle but nice depth of field in the image.

Its certainly nothing a gamecube couldnt do, and thus not using the Wii "to the max", but the graphics are certainly quite nice for the purpose.

The only changes Id make would be more irregular ground, some subtle atmospheric overlays, and (if possible) cloud shadows over the landscape.

oh, and completely redo the dragons breath effect.
This isnt a realistic game, but neither is it Paper Mario, that effect looks out of place.

I am with you on this Dr_R. I am well known for 'cutesy' style games. I have played more RPG games on my GBA than I have on a home console. I really like the look of this - just have to wait and see what the game plays like.

If I don't like the 'look' of a game then I generally lose interest. All those war and horror games with their never-ending brown textures are horrible to the eye (mine). Just because a game is colourful doesn't make it bad. On top of that, my daughters (who are seriously mature gamers at 12 & 14 - they have been raised on games), will love the look of that game.

All judgement reserved until release and reviews, but it looks promising.

Temporarily banned until further notice.

The graphics look cool Smilie

But I thought them more realistic Smilie

I never said I didn't like the style of the game and yes, the graphics are nice in certain areas (ie. nice looking textures and models) but all you have to do is look at those tufts of grass and the trees to see that this game is nothing special so far. It is early in development and these are just screens (I realise everything always looks better in motion) but for a so called 'dream team' I'd like to see something a little better than another simulation that could've been handled on a last gen system five years ago.

I've got nothing against cutesy games. I was drawn to Dewy's Adventure before I even saw anything about the game. This has nothing to do with realism, it's just certain parts stick out like a dogs proverbial which really does ruin the nicer aspects.

Also, what's with the random blurring around the edges of the screens?

For those wondering who Townfactory is, it's a team made up of ex-Lovedelic people (LOL, moon, etc). For reference, other off-shoots from the breakdown of Lovedelic are Skip (ChibiRobo, GiFTPiA) and Vanpool (Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland).

Nice to see the third arc of Lovedelic now on-board Nintendo's format as well!

Also, it's great to see Cing testing the waters on Wii with this venture...gives the team more experience for its future solo games (Hotel Dusk and Another Code sequels, perhaps?).

'Tis depth of field blur by the looks of things.

I also don't get bad grfx claims - most of it looks pretty nice, and there really doesn't look like there's anything wrong with the tufts of grass or anything....

The graphics are certainly not that advanced but it's got an oddly appealing look about it. Lots of pretty colours. Is it meant to be some kind Harvest Moon-Settlers hybrid?

Nintendo Lad 04.09.2007#12

Here was me thinking Soul Caliber Legends had set the new bar for worst graphics ever.
It has been beaten.

I'm sorry but motion sensing controls are cool and everything, but when a game looks this terrible it kinda cancels itself out.

So you're saying..

Man o man Faust, I spent a lot of my youth in the wild 70's playing that first picture, on my Hanimex game system on a small black & white television.

Times change, but we really had a massive amount of fun with it. Oh my poor myopic vision Smilie Makes me feel old just looking at it.

Lol those graphics would be considered AMAZING on the DS.

But anyway yeah there basic but have a nice clean look to them and arn't ugly at least.

Aside from the lovely graphics (clean lines, bright colours, good design), the game itself sounds really interesting. Like a cross between Harvest Moon, Pikmin and a traditional RPG. Should work really well.
