3D Dot Game Heroes Retro Spectacular

this is awsome its old school zelda under a different name

It even has the logo! Except instead of a shield and a giant Z, there's this dragon.

I hope you can build useful stuff in this game with all them pixels. That way it wont be a zelda ripoff

If they just called it ZELDA, released it on a NINTENDO-system and claimed miyamoto shigeru made it, this would definitely be a huge success.

Looks fantastic. I hope that it comes out in English in the not-too-distant future.

This looks so damn cool. I mean, it's very strange, but I love the concept of thinking of the pixels in 8 bit characters as 'blocks'.

For some reason that looks fun to me.

this is awesome!!

Grreaaaat...from pixels to cubes. Congratulations, you just unlocked the 3rd dimension.

Looks more like Dragon Quest...

this is shit!

It looks alot like Lego meets 3D Bitmapping.It will be interesting how the game is in actual motion/gameplay.

This is so pretentious it makes me vomit blood. And anyone who compares this disgusting eyesore to sprites deserves death. Sprites have charm. This mess does not.

WOW!!!

That's a game I'll put on my "To buy when obsolete" list for later!!! Yeah, it does look a lot like "Link to the Past", esp the mountains that produce endless boulders, but that's cool! The pixelation, however, is at the "Legend of Zelda" / "Final Fantasy" NES level and LTTP is SNES and looks almost like a real cartoon.

I think the art is balanced, however. IMHO if they doubled the pixels it'd just look like horrible CG.

Here's what I'd really like to see "Retro" style:

Atari 2600 "Adventure" done with simple 3DCG. Perhaps an expanded quest and area scrolling, not just simple rooms. The dragons are still annoying vore freaks, but they don't look like F*cking DUCKS. However, the graphics have "Cel-Shading" and textures taken from "Bob Pepper"s artwork, the artist who did the cover! So its a cartoon in rich, lush artwork!

So does it have English Subs or not?

Looks just like Persona 4 'Void Quest'...

wow This looks really good, tha graphics look so clear and vibrant

cant wait to see more info on this game

I'm a sucker for ARPG ,DO WANT

You know if you look carefully, you'll see Zelda amidst those stupid blocks. Chickens and (gasp!) bushwhacking anyone? LOL

Wow.

Why in god's name would someone put that much effort into trying to make shitty 8-bit graphics look prettier instead of coding art that doesn't look retarded?

Like putting five coats of polish on a turd. Shines up pretty nice, still looks like shit.

ITT 14 year old kids think that Zelda invented chickens, villages and grass. There's a lot more DQ stuff anyway, particularly the throne rooms being pretty much a carbon copy (rather than just DURR IT'S SOME MEDIEVAL HOUSES, MUST BE ZELDA) and the fact that there's a coffin following him in some of the images.

Smooth and clear 3D but no viewable panchira and upskirts.. No thanks. :<

Amazing and cool concept anyway. :3

looks like the Persona 4 dungeon

Oh how I want to play this.

Should be for the PSN or XBL, not a normal retail game.
Just looks like a poor rip-off mixing the Lego games graphic style with some elements of Zelda.
Instant pass and questionable why this even needed an article.

Anyone else feel like it's borrowing alot of elements from Zelda?

Sure is Magic Boomerang, Tektikes and Cucoos around here 8D

i have ps3 but don't know if i want to buy this or not...

must get... if it comes out in english

Awesome, I've been waiting for when creativity comes back to from software and it has finally seem to have happend!

Hey, looks just like FF4. And that hero, isnt that Cecil?

That gameplay heavily reminds me of Legend of Zelda, with the boomerang and the dungeon.

looks fuckwin, if i had a ps3 i'd check it out, nostalgia'd all over the place. second to last image looks like the spider enemy from zelda one.

Do want

Awesome concept, but it just looks wrong somehow.

Grotesque.

ME WANTS!

The people look great, but whatever that floating thing is looks rather poor XD

Looks like Lego

more dots more dots

i don't know why, but i laughed!

Looks neat, im a real retro fan! I hope this is going to be available for pc too.

thats ALL from Zelda!! ò_o!! i hate it, its worse than braid (xbox live) -_-

This looks like Minecraft trying to be a mix of Zelda and Dragon Quest to me.

That's what I thought when I saw the second picture.

Why can't they just stick to 32-Bit? It was a good time, with fun games and with todays technical advance the games could be lasting thousands of hours! Hell, you could even download them online bit by bit and with enough great writers the story could advance in different directions depending on the players choice,.. who am I kidding. Game Makers don't care for good games and satisfied players, they make realistic graphics and want stupid guys to buy it, because those guys got no real life to experience the graphic of real life anyway. Suckers.

Also, Zelda-Rip-Off is a Zelda-Rip-Off. It got the chicks, the chars, the environment and even the same enemies! Talking about plagiarism...

Looks fantastic. I love when striking new visual styles hit the markets. I'm not about to import, but I'd love to see it translated.

I sense a fail, at least in western gaming world. Older gamers don't really like PS3 and the younger ones will be like "what the fuck is this shit game".

Focal blur? In MY sprite game?

Pushing the limits of the PS3's 4th dimensional gaming power

Legend of Dragon Warrior 3D.

Doesn't look half bad, seems like a pretty unique game.
The fact that you can move the debris around after killing a monster is a nice touch though. And the water looks respectable, I guess...?

^Except Sony didn't make this game, From Software did i.e. makers of Armored Core. Now, does your words taste like bull or shit? Whatever the answer is keep it to yourself.
