Holy crap that's hideous. This lightning engine is atrocious for outdoor areas. The HUD is pretty awful too, what were they thinking with that? Everything is so close to the center of the screen, covering up all the action. I have an awful feeling about this.
Not to mention now that they have the base game and game engine made and no doubt with new consoles on the horizon I imagine DEV kits got cheaper.. they could be making taking all the old Climax Heroes assets slowly to make this game a yearly update one every year in the same vein as CH...
The general concept of the game I actually like however, Kamen Rider seems a natural fit for the Dynasty Warriors style of play as boring as that will get quickly.. I've pre-ordered the TV Music version on AmiAmi
Even big names like Naruto and DBZ failed horribly in that department and just went back to fighters which immediately sold more. I definitely see this game getting a sequel but no way in hell will it get any more than that. And considering who the developerprobablyis, I'm already disappointed that this game will be selling off of the Kamen Rider name rather than being an actual good beat em up game.
Since they're recycling so much ****, I'm hoping we get an HD CH game next year. We've never gone wrong with that.
I think the end goal might be to make a Sentai game out of this template.. maybe once netcode has been worked on to allow online play in groups.. maybe cross the two series over with the release of another cross over film.
I already have my own dream Rider game planned though.. and all you need to do it take Batman Arkham city's engine, make the city look pretty, add widmills, monsters, the voice cast and you have yourself the perfect Kamen Rider W game![]()
It's sad really; because we are not the target audience we will never get a Kamen Rider game even half as good as the one all are dreaming of.
It's even sadder that I have a few engines made from scratch that I plan to turn into full on games but have no kickstarter or a developer team to make much more progress. I have one that's a lot like Arkham City actually, mixed with Revengeance and GTA elements. I really want to make it first person actually. Now that you bring that up, I have an irresistible urge to work on it...
