rallamajoop Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 So now that the game's finally out in Japan, we must be due for a new thread for news about it, right? In fact, it seems Overture actually shipped a couple of days early - so even though the official release date's barely here, there's already new media for it turning up on the web. So far, I've found a couple of short videos for download from the campaign/story mode of the game, revealing a new character I don't think anyone guessed we were going to see, and showing us Valentine's first appearance. Obviously, this means spoilers, so now would be the time to hit the back button if you'd rather wait until the official release. The extra character Download (14 MB) For context, this would be after Sol, Sin and Izuna finally get to Iluria castle to discover Ky's been sealed by Valentine - but it turns out one of That Man's servants is hanging around as well. It's not too clear yet whether he's going to be a fully playable character, but it does sound like you'll have to fight him at least once during the game. Meet Valentine Download (17 MB) Most of the dialogue in this one turned out to pretty simple, so I knocked out a quick transcript. (Usual disclaimer on anything I translate - I'm not fluent by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm still pretty sure most of this should be accurate.) Sin: W... what? Sol: This power... Sin! Stay back! Izuna: That's... the Master? Valentine: Hello. Sol: You! A... no, there's no way... Sin: What's going on! Old man? Sol: It's nothing. Focus on the enemy. Valentine: I won't run/you won't escape (can't translate the next bit, but I really don't think she's complimenting them) Izuna: You! (Can't be certain without context, but it sounds like he's saying something along the lines of 'You're the one who brainwashed my friends') Valentine: Me? I'm Valentine. Sin: Old man, her magic - it's beyond the ordinary. Izuna: Definitely the Master. Sol: ...'Master' you say. Izuna: Yeah, the Master you've been fighting with your Servants. The Master of everyone we've fought up until now. Valentine: All of you are standing in my way. I don't approve of obstacles like you.

9TNine Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Has to be! Raven's right eye is missing too, and this character has something for his left eye, but not for his right? -9
Zazz Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 i've just seen an upskirt shot of valentine, so in case you're wondering . . . they're black :drool:
Sephi_hatu Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Are those supposed to be vids or just sound? (Im assuming vids). Im getting only sound.
Sephi_hatu Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Youtube or it didn't happen. Ya, no matter what I try Im not getting video on this thing. However, quicktime was kind enough to tell me I might need a plugin. Then listed a thousand plugins I could try.
Akselziys Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Not a plugin you need, but a codec most likely Very cool to see Raven making an appearance finally though
rallamajoop Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 Couple of new gameplay vids have actually made it to youtube for a change. Red Valentine versus blue Izuna Purple Valentine versus white Izuna To anyone having trouble getting the other vids to work - there probably is a codec you're missing, maybe running it through GSpot would let you figure out which one. Or I could upload some versions in a quicktime format if that's likely to work any better.
Neophos Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 The "There's a battle to be won round 1, Let's rock" voice sounds like it's made in Microsoft Sam. Where's the spirit? It looked.. boring. Perhaps they should just stick to the fighting games.
Sephi_hatu Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Theres no way anyone will suspect that that guy wearing the mask is Raven! I mean there are tons of people with spikes in there head!
Vu Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 the computerized voice "theres a battle to be won" "lets rock" was really... bad imo...
Akira Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Ah, the voice is.... interesting. It's not irritating, but could be better XDDD It remembers of GGX, but much better. The game seems cool =] It would be better if XBox360 could have a mouse XDDDDDD Edit: Can anyone upload the op? The music's intro at the site seems cool
AtTheGates Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 the voice is just like accent core. timing is off. lazy bums. HEAVEN...ORHELLDUEL ONE. LETS ROCK theres a battletobewon
Zazz Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Looking at those videos, the areas in the game are named: Yomotsuhirasaka Illyuria Triora Bad Canto Valley Ganymede i'm guessing there are more unlockable stages as well, right?
zer0kage Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Dynasty Warriors would fare better with the RTS system to break up the action since it has large scale maps+a refine beat em up system.
Kayin Nasaki Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I wanna know what sort of plot supports this bizzare battle setup. Everything seems at least okay to me, but that seems kinda goofy.
reaVer Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Meet Valentine Download (17 MB) Most of the dialogue in this one turned out to pretty simple, so I knocked out a quick transcript. (Usual disclaimer on anything I translate - I'm not fluent by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm still pretty sure most of this should be accurate.) Izuna's sword sticks through his clothes! Nige nai or something like that means "don't run". As for the vid itself, it looks rather bad:/
DarthTrey Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 for all having trouble playing downloads just get the VLC player. Any word of a stateside release?
Cadenza Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 all this is pretty interesting, I wish I could play it
