Indivisible - Valkyrie Profile + Metroidvania - NOW IGARASHI APPROVED

[Tensho]

Win7 64bit runs perfect for me. Graphics remind me more of KOFXIII than SG except sharper because it can run at 1080p.

[Negaduck]

Also to note. Since this is a prototype, the backgrounds and stuff in the final game should meld better with the 2d aspects.

[angelpalm]

The actual game play looks really good and has this Bof look to it. I think what put me off is dudes artwork in the game and not the actual “sprites” or whatever they are. Probably see if I can run it.

“inspired”

It’s literally a re-skin.

Not exactly, the battle mode is more real-time than VPs.

Also, there’s no RNG in combat at all. Stuff that is based mostly on timing (e.g. the boss in the demo has an attack that has a 14 frame window to defend against).

So, cause there’s no “pause” between phases it suddenly inherent it into a new game even though it shares the same exact elements? Fuck no.
And what RNG are you talking about during combat? Enemy share the same functions that both VPs had. This game literally offers noting new to the table. Why would I wait for this game to come out when I can play the exact same game right now, on my PS1 and PS2.

What the fuck is rng?

Stop making stupid acronyms you dickbags.

Random Number Generator.

I never heard of this term either until I started playing Hearthstone.

It’s just another word for luck.

There are still noticeable phases. It’s just that the way the “ATB” bar functions feels more like Final Fantasy in that you can go as long as you have stock.

[Hecatom]

Well, that is the actual name, since the “luck” depends on the RNG to even happen.

[Manx]

That’s the joke Art was making. People perceive RNG to be luck when it’s absolutely not by it’s very nature. If something’s supposed to happen 10% of the time then it happens 10% of the time. There is no luck about it.

To bad this game is godless, then :P.

[Tensho]

What are we arguing about? a prototype to show off the movement and bare-bones fighting system?

So, in a recent update to Bloodstained backers, IGA stated that he sat down and played the Indivisible prototype.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Since I played the English version and basically don’t read English well, I was kind of flying blind. So my gameplay was certainly not impressive, but please be flexible about my linguistic shortcomings!

Right from the title screen you jump straight into the game. I really like seamless title screen transitions, and Indivisible does this well. While playing the game it was clear that this team really knows action: The controls are very responsive, and even the jump timing feels totally natural. It’s hard to put into words, but there’s something great about the feel of tight, intuitive jump timing. As a creator, you can tell right away that they get it.

Now let’s talk about the art style. I’ll admit that, at first glance, you could find it looks dated… but then the animation kicks in, and everything moves so smoothly that the art is suddenly alive and none of that matters. There are lots of ways to make art do what you want, from shaders to animation to simply working at a higher resolution… but in this case they just nailed the animation. The effects are great as well, so the game just looks cool.

It’s a really polished prototype, and I hope people take a serious look at it. A lot of action games have been adding in RPG elements recently, for a variety of reasons, but it’s nice to find a game that has polish on the action side as well as the RPG side. I enjoyed it—and it’s a free prototype, so I hope more people give it a chance. The prototype is available for Windows, Mac and Linux right now, and console owners… maybe wait just a little bit longer, OK?

You can watch him playing it here.

Game doesn’t seem like my cup of tea but nevertheless it looks like a quality production. Would suck if it didn’t get funded. The indiegogo campaign is apparently not doing too well at the moment.

Random Number Generator.

I never heard of this term either until I started playing Hearthstone.

In the context of gameplay determined by randomly determined outcomes I’m pretty sure it stands for Random Numbers Game, as in that’s very often what Hearthstone boils down to for example, a random numbers game. Doesn’t really matter which you use, gets the point across the same.

[crotchpuncha]

Too many games in the topic title.

[angelpalm]

For realz…calm the fuck down.

Waiting for the title to include dark souls and or the phrase “redefining the genre” in it lol.

[crotchpuncha]

Yea i dunno, maybe its.just me but “Game + Game = New Game” doesn’t get me hype. Like Assassins Creed + Arkham Batman = Shadows of Mordor wouldnt get me hype. Mentioning the Nemesis system in the other hand…
