Forums - Nintendo - Earth Seeker: New Details on the Story and genre

Over in Japan this week, Kadokawa Games announced Earth Seeker, a brand-new action/adventure game due out for the Wii this fall. The game is being developed by Osaka-based Crafts & Meister Ltd., an independent studio led by Capcom Production Studio 1 veterans Noritaka Funamizu (Street Fighter II, Monster Hunter) and Yoshihiro Sudo (Auto Modellista, Gotcha Force). Funamizu and Sudo aren't talking at all about gameplay details yet, but they did reveal Earth Seeker's setting and showed off some concept visuals to Japanese game magazines this week.

"The game kicks off on a post-apocalyptic Earth," Funamizu explained in a Famitsu interview. "All the world's human heritage gets packed into a spaceship and evacuated off the planet, but the spaceship crashes into another planet and its cargo gets scattered all over the place. The ship's main computer is trying to recreate Earth's ecosystem on this planet, but the crash has affected it and it's producing all this messed-up plant and animal life instead, which is hugely impacting the land."

The game's plot kicks off 1000 years after the crash, with the computer's off-kilter creatures firmly rooted in the planet's environment. The ship is now releasing poisonous compounds into the atmosphere for unknown reasons, and part of your job will be to figure out how to stop it.

"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

It's an action/adventure game, not an RPG.  No need to worry about grinding.

 

The concept of the game sounds really exciting.

...also worth noting that the principle founders at C&M are Noritaka Funamizu and Katsuhiro Sudo.  Both were longtime Capcom employes and were (some) of the diriving forces behind games and series like Side Arms, 194X, Little Nemo,  UN Squadron, Final Fight, Street Fighter II, Slam Masters, Dungeons & Dragons, DarkStalkers, Street Fighter Alpha, Puzzle Fighter, Marvel Vs Capcom, Street Fighter III, Tech Romancer, Strider 2, Powerstone, Capcom Vs SNK, auto modellista, Gotcha Force, Gundam Vs Gundam, Monster Hunter, RE Outbreak and more.  Most of the staff from C&M came from Capcom and worked on many of the same games.
