If Factor 5 ARE working on this...

...what in gods name is Retro working on? It would make more sense for Retro to be working on this, F5 have been busy until a few months ago - Retro has been free for a solid 1.5 years...

And I'll be surprised if the main character is as adult as the concept art shown here. Pit isn't THAT well known as a Ninty character - I would imagine would stick as close to the Brawl version as possible, to help build the brand awareness.

He also strikes me as very "Zelda" style...

Same here.  I could see Kid Icarus as a Zelda-like game with a bit more emphasis on platforming and combat than exploration.

he could stand to be more badass....as ong as he is not down to this again



b/c that just screems i want to be emo and cut my self.... in fact?



the only thing missing was bad hair dye job, cuts, and rockband shirt.....he emos

Note to self... ask for ignore user feature in Website Discussion.

ahh i am hurt Words

I don't like all the concepts, but some of them looks really good. I like the weapon designs. If this is real concepts for this game, it will probably end up looking better then what we see here.

I don't like the way Pit looks like in Brawl, it's just so... But I do understand that some people likes him that way. And why should they use a design similar to what we see in Brawl when they did not go with the Link look from Melee in Wind Waker?

Plus, this is a dead gameseries that will see a revival to a new market and to go with something new is not uncommon or to change a character to something almost completely new. If Kid Icarus goes the way these concepts suggest and flops, then Nintendo might revert Pit to his former self again. This might also be something that will work, so pleace hold of untill you will see official art and ingame looks of Pit, the other characters and how the game looks, works, plays and the story before you decide to skip or hate the game.

We don't even know if this art is real concepts or what it will look like beyond early concepts. And most of the people that will buy this game are not the ones that did fall in love with the previous games, people who might never ever have heard about Kid Icarus before. If there will be "Icarus" in the title, then a part of the legacy should be there to, whatever happens.

I like the concept art enough. I just really want to know how the game mechanics will work. Is it gonna be GoW brawler with light Platforming/Puzzle elements (if so count me out)?, is it gonna be an evolution of Factor 5's Lair philosophy? An aerial platformer/brawler? WHAT IS IT?

Great work mesoteto. You make this old ghost proud.

at least someone can see it

It looks like the "concept art" was taken from Deviant Art, I've seen a lot of people do that with game characters, they'll make concepts to make their own cartoons and comics.

BTW for everyone saying it has to be Man Icarus forgot that it could end up being a prequel ^_^ so yes Kid Icarus could still be a kid. Though personally I do hope they make him an adult in the game but I like bringing up points people don't think about. Either way I'm going to keep an eye out for some real confirmed screens/art.
