(honestly, I feel they could have done better with the graphics...)

 

Reminds me of Final Fantasy IV DS

Wow besides the egg corridor, i am deeply unimpressed with how they handled the graphics. I still think their concept art looked better with the game being 2d

 

This looks....
Disappointing.
But it might look better in the actual game.
And I noticed, why the old HUD?

 

OHOHOHHOHOHOHO Must see every one!

Oh yeah, and what everyone else's opinion about the graphics and stuff.

 

I'm really disapointed in that. They reused the old status bars, and the resolution isn't as good as imagined. They get an A for concept and a B for execution. Hopefully it's just a beta.

In the corner of these screenshots there is a note that says "Game Under Development" I'm hoping by that they mean that this is not the final design of the game entirely.

fingers are crossed.. they have a little over a month to go to make this thing well worth my $40

 

Nobody likes the graphics? Is it just because everyone here is a purist or something, because they look great.

I just think they could be much better is all

To me they just look shoddy.....

 

Hmm...

Well, I feel like they could have done a better job of interpreting the zones into 3D while keeping the original feel.
Nostalgia goggles aside, I really think there was room for some fresh interpretation without completely revamping the colors, themes and environments.

 

This game wasn't meant for 3D

 

To be honest, i think they should be doing it like the wii version of la mulana, That shit looks insane, so beautiful, and well made

 

the graphics are well done, but give a much duller, darker and sadder atmosphere to the maps.
i mean look at the sand zone!
you cant tell its sand... and those brown probably not yet shootable blocks
dont even look special... and theyre supposed to.
this is seriously disappointing

This. Which is probably the worst thing possible ever.

Although the character model looks a little bit better but everything else just looks a bit underwhelming.
Pixel's talent really comes through when he is working with, well, pixels, and I feel like the entire game is sort of selling itself short with what it's doing right now.

I feel like a bit of an asshole for whining but honestly I just hate the creative direction the game has taken. I guess I was expecting more textures and vibrant landscapes, sort of emulating the cave story we all know, but giving it a facelift.

WHATEVER

 

Yeah i was expecting a lot more smoothness, the character model has been rendered horribly..
Though Im guessing its gonna be in actual 3D (Vision)
That may be coool.

One thing though..
They best get the music right this time round cus if not I'm going to be heart broken

 

I'm pretty sure that UI in the top left-hand corner was shopped in after rendering the screenshots...

And I loved the idea of 3D Cave Story, but I don't think they're taking it in the right direction.

 

I personally dont think Nicalis brain-storm ideas enough,
The game looks like soon as an idea was thought of they implemented it instead of brain-storming ideas and putting em all into the pot then choosing the best ideas or even better combining the best features of ideas.

Just feels like Nicalis get ahead of themselves and come up with ideas and get excited about them instead of taking a second to think about flaws and changes they just rush into making it.. and it shows...

 

Update: New box art and a new release date (delayed)

I truly feel they should delay it even more just so they'd have more time to polish it and make it look right.. but that's just me... c_c

 

"As far as new content is concerned, there is a new stage within the game, but Nicalis isn’t sharing details yet."

OHO OHOHO
