Ryne Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Looks great. But if we are going to sit back in line and attack back and forth in turns, I'll get very bored. Any gameplay vids out by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerXis Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 for a young boy like that his friends have rather big cups. Why does every animated character has to have a D cup :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider_Man Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ok, I'll say this first, it looks like it'll be allot of fun. I've always loved RPG's and the ones from Japan are always good stories. But, I'm wondering where the power of the 360 is used on this title? I'm not going to judge it right off the bat just cause I've not seen any gameplay demo's, but the 360 is a nextgen Console and the graphics look kinda last gen. Maybe they used the extra umph on spells and attacks animation. Some of the textures looked a little, well, a little blurred. again, this is from pics only and it may look totally different in person. So I'll wait and see, btu regardless, I'll still buy it for the sheer fact that it's Toriyama who did the character design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goji Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I cannot wait to play this game in, especially on a HD screen! Spider, no way does this look like a PS2 game or an xbox game. The image on the screen is clear and clean, no jaggies on a colossal scale. Go to YouTube and check out the vids, they are something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider_Man Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I cannot wait to play this game in, especially on a HD screen!Spider, no way does this look like a PS2 game or an xbox game. The image on the screen is clear and clean, no jaggies on a colossal scale. Go to YouTube and check out the vids, they are something else. Ok I just watched the vids. Now, I don't mean Last gen consoles because there are games whose graphics claim to be NextGen but aren't. The textures are very simple. From looking at the ground itself in the screens and vids, they skimped there. I understand why. Witha big game sometimes you need to reduce quality on some things that aren't as crucial. but the Nextgen idea is left out of the equation here. yes, the characters are drawn without jaggies and the lot, that does not mean it's nextgen. I can get no jaggies on my PC at home with my GF7600 on all my games, that does not mean it's a nextgen title. The original Xbox even had some titles that had no jaggies. In MY opinion, NextGen is something that could not be done on the old hardware. Something like Oblivion or Dead Rising. Look at the upcoming Assasin's Creed. Now that's NextGen. Interaction with the environemtn is critical in NextGen Titles. If we could do it on the Xbox then it's not nextGen material in MY humble opinion. And as it is, the PS2 vs Xbox, it's like arguing apples and oranges, if you want to argue graphics, the PS2 couldn't hold a candle to the Xbox. I just busted my PS2 out recently to play Final Fantasy 12 and was appaled by the graphical quality. Then I played Fable on the Xbox. Older game vs. one that came out a few months back. But honestly, what part of Blue Dragon could not be done on the Xbox? Great game, indeed, nextgen, not so much. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetik Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 for a young boy like that his friends have rather big cups. Why does every animated character has to have a D cup :p Because this game was intended for the Japanese audience. You know how they like their Dead or Alive franchise. Nice and bouncy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
