Looks awesome. The acrobatics remind me of the original and although they obviously didn't focus on the combat, it looks very dramatic.

Lookin Sweet.
I might need to pick this one up.
The magic is hit or miss. Using it for a double-jump is a cool effect and a natural evolution of the old platforming, but randomly bounding all the way across the map? Why are there glowing circles on random cliff walls? Why do they shoot you to completely randomly placed locations? Why don't we just use them to shoot to the end of the level like a sane person would?
Overall though it looks fun. I really like that they pushed the monster of the ledge even though it had a health bar that wasn't done yet.
Agreed.
It's like going to a film and having half the cast speaking in their character's native tongue.
I mean, I can appreciate the 'authenticity', but then I have to spent time not watching the actual film and just reading text.
As for the magical stuff, I kind of dig the idea. If nothing else, it'll add that much more to the whole 'leap of faith' approach a lot of the puzzles have.
On a side note, the girl's top looks totally painted on - is that just the cell shading?
I also don't like the voice. It's not just like "oh that's not a Persian accent, I want it real!" He just sounds like a Disney lead character
art style looks cool, wish they would do more though. doesn't look so next gen in a way..
Cool style. The character texturing is a lot less noisy in motion than the stills seemed to let off. I love how a lot of the FX have a spidery look to it like the font they used in the captions.
But man, the dialogue and voiceovers. I can live with the American accent (though I'd probably prefer British or something), but the dialogue sounds like the kind of shit I remember from 90s saturday morning cartoons, where the character is just overly
"cool" and lots of self-referential bullshit (aww, man, why do we always have to go towards the bad guys?).
Looks fun, though.
I really like the art style, and I like the direction the series has taken, I hear there are open world elements, but how much of it is just "pick a level, then do some linear platforming again?" With parkour becoming such a big feature in games these days, you'd thing they'd throw in the old "emergent gameplay" into their very average linear platforming.
I'll wait for reviews, but unless it gets insane scores I'll wait for it to hit the greatest hits status.

And now I read what everyone else has written... and I feel superfluous
the gameplay however looks interesting, prince of ico.
C'mon, it's next-gen Sonic & Tales!
