Support NeoGAF

[Punished Miku]

That looks promising. Hopefully it is better than Grand Knights Historia, where it seems to have some of its roots.

I forgot all about that game. I didn't like it either.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Looks good. I'd prefer an action-RPG like Odin Sphere, Muramasa, Dragon's Crown... but I'll get this.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Nice. A Vanillaware game on Xbox. Hold tight Xbox gamers, I foresee this kind of game announced for Game Pass closer to release.

I dont like anime art, but Vanillaware art is pretty good. It's anime style but has a unique detailed colour and shading palette which isnt so anime obvious.

 

[Hudo]

Weird choice to put it on Xbox but not on PC. Oh, well. I'll get it on Switch then.

Still very much"anime" it just Vanillaware always goes for storybook style hand painted rather then cell-shaded look.

Day -2024.

Sadly no PC version, but I'm fine with PS5.

 

[DragoonKain]

Love the music in this trailer.

 

[IAmRei]

Somehow i also wants grand knight history re released again now in switch, that game had similar vibe and the gameplay is addicting

 

[Thief1987]

I would prefer something more action-oriented, but, well, it's Vanillaware, must have in any case.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Hopefully they get Sakimoto for the OST.

 

[drganon]

Always interested in anything from vanillaware.

 

[blackjon24]

Finally Vanillaware fully reveals their new game. Saved the nintendo direct for me no doubt. Really liked the trailer, I'll admit I was hoping for something more along the lines of Dragon crown or muramasa especially after the very story heavy 13 sentinels (Excellent game) but I do love a good srpg.

Is playing Grand Historia worth it? Seems similar but I've heard mixed things from it

Phil money to Sega

 

[Killer8]

It's Vanillaware so I will buy three copies.

 

[EruditeHobo]

I would kill for a Kiwi & Melon Platter right now...

Can't wait, Vanillaware rules. They never let me down.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Fucking mint!!!!

 

[SirTerry-T]

Artbook as well, please Mr Kamitani.
Cheers

 

[NanaMiku]

We still don't know who is the director for Unicorn Overlord, but Grand Knight History was not by Kamitani. The director was Tomohiko Deguchi. He left Vanillaware and tried to make spiritual successor of Grand Knight History called Grand Kingdom.

Phil money to Sega

Phil Money would extend to game pass PC as well.

This is another Atlus' mindfuck decision.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

The game looks great. And it's Vanillaware. I'll pick it up on the PS5.

 

[LakeOf9]

This looks amazing, I’m in

Is a PC version unlikely? I can pick it up on Switch or PS5 if I have to but I’d rather get it on PC. Still probably getting it either way unless reviews are awful.

All Vanillaware games currently are not available on PC

 

[Danjin44]

I'm trying to decide to get this on Switch or PS5, in one hand I played ALL Vanillaware games on Playstation, even back in PS2 days, in other hand Tactics games can be fun played on handheld before going to sleep.

 

[Pejo]

Looks ok. Not really what I was personally looking forward to with Vanillaware's next game, but I'm sure the art and food will be top top tier. Also, Kamitani still allergic to PC versions it seems.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Nice to see Vanillaware putting content on xbox as well.

Now for the rest!

Maybe see how their games run on Switch? I think there's a demo for 13 Sentinels to try

 

[supernova8]

I thought everyone was joking and joining on some big collective meme saying this game looks awesome... I guess it's just not for me.

Not all games for everyone, that just nature of video games, I mean everyone praising the crap out BG3 but I'm not in to type of game at all but thats just life.

 

[Shifty1897]

After 13 Sentinels, I'm Day One to whatever adventure Vanillaware wants to take me on.

 

[LakeOf9]

13 Sentinels apparently runs better on Switch than PS4 because they cleaned up FPS drops on the Switch version that the PS4 version never got patched for

Spoiler: 13 Sentinels spoilers

I think the frame rate drops actually made sense in context of the story though lol

Yes, I know. And I didn't find Grand Kindom very engaging either. Mechanics weren't that fun.

Issue is that when one's reference in the genre is Dragon Force, it is extremely compete. Not that Dragon Force is a masterpiece in terms of strategies offered. BUT, it is simply very very fun and you can mess around with the world and nations as it is entirely open. Brigandine did come close (I made an official thread here) but it wasn't exactly as fun. Battles often ended in rushing the enemy commanders to get rid of tanks that would drag the battles endlessly, magic and healers were overpowered. And the game was full first degree, needed some more jokes and fun moments.

Atlus TGS 2023 Media Briefing Will Include Unicorn Overlord

Atlus will include the newly announced Unicorn Overlord in its TGS 2023 Media Briefing which it will also upload to its YouTube channel.

Nice we getting more info on this game on TGS.

 

[pepodmc_]

Sucks it's not coming to PC as well but looking forward to another masterpiece from Vanillaware!

YUZU

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

YUZU

Oh, I'll get it on Switch or PS5 (haven't decided yet), but I was just saying that it's odd that PC gamers are left out again. But yeah, I think it should run great on Yuzu.

 

[graywolf323]

I’m really surprised they started putting their games out on Xbox before PC (would have thought if it was coming to Xbox it’d come to PC as well)

Same, was a bit shook and had to double take when I saw the platforms it's releasing on lol. Good for Xbox gamers and I sincerely do hope they'll do their best to support this Vanillaware release.

 

[64bitmodels]

Every game that's ported to Switch is available on PC.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Massive Mystaria / Dragon Force flashbacks. Interested, haven't played games like these in ages.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, I'm aware. Yuzu is really great for that lol so I guess PC gamers will be okay. They should still support the dev though by buying a Switch physical copy.

What's with the Mario watermark

Video was uploaded by Nintendo of America.

I know why it's there, I'm questioning the aesthetic decision

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Where the frig is another re-release of Muramasa?

 

[NanaMiku]

I hope Marvelous do something with it. NIS already re-released GrimGrimoire

I had actually came to this thread to post the same thing lol - deciding PS5 or Switch.
The PS5 version will be 4k but I'm kinda thinking about getting rid of my ps5 and I already have a Switch so I could just get that version and play it on the built-in OLED screen, which should look fine but then I'm also wondering how easy it will be to read all the text on the smaller screen and how it will run compared to the other versions.
I wish there was a PC version but I just don't think it's going to happen, but then with the Switch 2 being so close I'm wondering if I just wait and see if they announce a 4K version for the Switch 2 (or if the Switch 2 will even support 4K lol).
Hmm... I'll probably just wait for reviews and see how the Switch port compares.

I decide go with PS5 version, majority of Vanillaware games I bought was for Playstation and I'm gonna do the same with this game was well.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Dunno about you guys but this one and P3R are like the perfect case for the PS Portal. I'll play them both mostly there.
