Disgaea 4 has been formally unveiled by way of a preview video, showing off a variety of new gameplay elements and some “improved graphics“…
Their place-holder site claims “super-high resolution graphics 300% over our past titles,” admittedly not saying much in their case. Inspecting the HD version of the video certainly reveals sprites at an acceptable resolution, but very little else in the way of modernity seems to have filtered through.
Nippon Ichi’s growing reputation for backwardness and endless rehashing seems unlikely to be dispelled any time soon, and whether their financial problems will be solved by yet another Disgaea rehash is also an open question at this stage.
so many DFC…
I dont care if the game looks like s♥♥t… MAKE THE GODDAMN CAMERA AND TARGETING WORK!
I admit i had enough fun to play a few dozen hours of Disagea3 but if I end up fighting the camera like in the last game i am going to rage.
well, I’ll admit that those graphics do look really awesome, I just hope they don’t get too carried away, and pull a nintendo, where all their games feel sooooo gimmicky because their all “we spent the time and effort to develop this million dollar novelty item, and by god, we’re going to make you USE IT!
Looks perfect to me. But what is this “Disgaea has poor graphics” nonsense? D3 could have improved the res like this earlier perhaps, but what exactly do the critics want anyway? The block based terrain is due to and necessary to the gameplay, and has plenty of it’s own charm. And the series has always used it’s sprites brilliantly and creatively in it’s battle field animations. I’d hate to ever see the sprites replaced with some ugly 3D models and slated as an improvement.
I was introduced to Disgaea only 2 years ago, and have since played them all. The idea that the graphics were in need of “updating” never crossed my mind once.
No Laharl… I am disappoint
