Story Feedback
Either way, looks really cool (even if it does remind me of Hatsworth with a new skin).
It actually looks a lot better (and Henry Hatsworth was good).
It's the opposite for me. Confirm it's not Metroidvania style gameplay and I'm there
Not saying I wouldn't get it otherwise, but I'll have to look into it a lot more before making a decision.
HH is awesome, the devs are awesome, the ideas are awesome, and the look is awesome!
I was thinking the same thing. It has a very old school SEGA feeling to it. Always nice.
I was saying this the other day. EA has been actually releasing games I find interest in the last couple of years. Compare the EA of last gen to the EA of this gen, it's almost like two different companies.
@Hongo
Except if I understood correctly, this game is just developed by most of the Hatsworth team that left EA and opened their own studio and this still is without a publisher. Hence my earlier comment.
Someone insecure? If it was a boy character, you wouldn't have said,"I wish I had the choice to pick a gender, cry."
Looking forward to this game very much. It'll probably be my next DS game (which says something about the current state of the DS software lineup, which is mostly LAME).
And yes, I am skipping Zelda. I'm all Zelda-ed out after Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass. That series needs a SERIOUS reboot.
And it looks beautiful to boot. Wow.
