Forums - Sony - Who else is psyched about 3D Dot Game Heroes?

*Someone may link to this thread and say people hyped 3D Dot Game Heroes, blah blah blah. I dont care. I just love everything about this game. I am being 100% genuine when I say this.*

This game has hit me like a wave. I have become absolutely obsessed with it since it was first revealed and now I am eagerly anticipating it's Asian release, which hopefully at least has English subs.

This game's style is absolutely amazing. It seems so old school but at the same time feels so incredibly fresh. It's action RPG style looks to be fun and I can't wait to see it in motion, hopefully at this years TGS.

I have been searching the internet for at least 3+ hours tonight just trying to find anything I can on this title. I found that this game not only has incredible music, but the game's head of promotion is the main guy from the old NES game Spelunker!

Awesome!

This title has been released on Japan's PSN if I am not mistaken so it makes sense that he is in the JPN release of Dot Game Heroes.

Now what gets me thinking that this title may actually see a US release is this, which I found on N4G today.

Supposedly Spelunker is going to see a release on the US PSN store!

Interested in "Spelunker"? Check the video at the bottom of the post.

 

Now, enough of this games "Head of Promotion" and back to the main point, which is 3D Dot Game Heroes.

This game contains what may be considered your "run of the mill" JRPG storylines. 

From IGN:

"3D Dot Game Heroes is set in the Kingdom of Dotnia. This world was once made up of 2D sprite art like something out of an old school game. However, wanting to attract more people to the kingdom, the king decided to use technology to make everything 3D. This is where something goes horribly wrong, although just what that is has yet to be specified."

"Despite the retro theme, the game does look impressive technically. It's being developed by Silicon Studio, a developer who worked with From on PSP's Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuke, but who also does middle ware. 

In line with the visual style, 3D Dot Game Heroes has some traditional RPG themes. The game's background story involves six magic orbs which were stolen by a demon of darkness, who was then defeated by a brave swordsman and sealed away using the combined power of the orbs. You play as the grandchild of that brave swordsman, and you're tasked with saving the world

Here are a few of the wonderful images I have found for this soon to be gem from From Software.


 

 

Anyone else completely psyched about this game other than me?

I am really psyched for 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Unique different game from the same company that made Demon's Souls. And is a Ps3 exclusive!

The sperlunker doesn't hold my interest too much, but it sure interest the people that is supposedly excited about NSMBW, since it offers similar gameplay but triumphs over it because has 6player ONLINE co-op, HD1080p graphics and is cheaper (unless they only excited for NSMBW because they are nintendo fanboys)

Well, I grew up on Spelunker. I actually still own the game and on GAF I read how people thought nobody would care since people in the US really do not own the game at all. That makes me feel kind of special to be honest.

The game was a bit difficult when I was younger, but the music easily got stuck in my head and I love it!

 

I will be updating this thread and if the game gets a US release I hope I get to make the official thread.

I think this game has me more psyched that any game has this gen. It actually makes me happy. From Software has come a long way in gaining my utmost respect since I fell in love with Armored Core a few years back. Huge props to these guys.

I posted it because it is Spelunker!

He is the head of promotion for 3D Dot Game Heroes, so anything related to him can help when it comes to people possibly getting into 3D Dot game Heroes, since from what I know, he is going to end being a playable character.

Just because the thread is about 3D Dot Game Heroes doesn't mean I can't branch it out and show Spelunker a little love too.

Indeed from software has my respect also.

And I agree that some people might get confused about this thread, since you talk about two games, post pics and videos of the two without separating them well enough.

Some people won't understand that Spelunker=/=3dot heroes.



I am actually adding to the thread as we speak. I realized that I went from spelunker to 3D Dot Game Heroes pics.

I was just so psyched as I wrote this out that I wasn't even thinking straight.

well i know Spelunker, but i don't know anything about 3D Dot hero except that it is made by From Software.



I'm not! Dots should forever be doomed to 2D! :P

*Edit All jokes aside I actually watched the video and that is simply amazing stuff!

Quite looking forward to it. Love the unique aesthetic and story. I know Naz is hyped for it as well.
