Quick Look: Dust: An Elysian Tail

Great screencap

First furry fighter if only it was friday.

Could be cool - been waiting for this QL :)

EDIT: Balls. Sentiment stands, though.

what

Maybe it could be good.

it's 12am where's my spy camera

Hope it's good

DUST WIELDER

Yes! So happy this Quick Look has finally come! This is gonna be a good day.

Heard a lot about this one, i got high hopes

I know he mentioned boating enthusiasts, but I watched the E3 demo and IIRC you can steer the ship any which way, regardless of the wind or current. I have a feeling sailing enthusiasts won't be too pleased about that ^^; #itsagameiknow

Watch the quicklook while I wait for it to hit the marketplace...

I completely forgot this was coming out today!

Midnight Quick Looks are the best...

EDIT: Not a terribly great fan of the Anime character design, but the backgrounds are gorgeous!

Nice art style and... furries...

Oh wow I didn't know this was a furry game... No thank you! Pass.

oh for fuck's sake....

Same here. I've been waiting for this game a looooong time.

Been looking forward to seeing what this is all about.

Already bought the points for this. Now to see if I'm going to spend them when the game comes out tomorrow.

Edit: Yep. This could scratch my Shadow Complex itch.

Tell me about it, years...though I only found out about it through the 2009 contest.

it's been agonizing tbh and i've only known about it for a few months

also: epic mickey is technically a fucking furry game. sorry it's really getting under my skin. unless the cartoon animals are ramming each other it's perfectly fine. beautiful animation and character designs.

carry on.

Midnight Quicklook to give some furry nightmares

I can't look at any kind of anthropomorphic characters anymore without thinking "furry".

If this is furry, every old-school platformer like Titus and Sonic is full of furries too. I think the artwork on this game is incredible and beautiful, and the gameplay looks awesomely deep and varied. Stoked to play this as soon as I get out of work this morning.

Okay, this looks pretty great. Like a proper advancement over Muramasa. I'm hoping there's a chance for a PC or even an PSN release somewhere down the line.

It's certainly hard to get it out of your head, I will admit. It's a shame, because anthropomorphic characters were the awesome thing for decades. Looney Tunes, half of every Disney production, etc. There's absolutely nothing inherently wrong with them. The internet ruins quite a lot of things.

i just choose to not look at those things and, hey, i'm fine.

Maaaaaan, I need to sleep!

@drgrumbles: Well, if that's what you believe, you better stop playing games like Banjo Kazooie, Pokemon, Sonic, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, the Elder Scrolls, Sly Cooper...oh yeah, don't forget about movies and TV shows as well like Looney Tunes, Disney movies, Don Bluth animated films, Ren and Stimpy...need I go on? Because, based on your ignorant definition of "furry", all of those fit and now have to be avoided.

Yiffing: The Game!

Sounds great. When do XBLA games go live? Its been a while since I wanted to jump on one as soon as it dropped.

What are we, children? Just because a game has anthropomorphic animals doesn't make it furry, and I hate to use Godwin's Law, but it's like saying every German is a Nazi.

(Hoo boy, I hope this thread doesn't blow up now because of me.)

Despite the quality of the character portraits, DAMN those animations look smooth as butter. Always gets me.

i'm biting my tongue

@MURDERSMASH exactly.

watched a minute of this and my god the game looks beautiful, but don't want to spoil anymore.

glad brad/jeff are indifferent to the whole furry thing at least and judging the game on its own merits.

Looks incredible

Only game of the Summer of Arcade I've been looking forward to. Wish it came out earlier so not to conflict with other good games, but I'll take it.

Edit: Side note, but I really don't like the Brad and Jeff Quick Look combo. Jeff just always seems incredibly unenthusiastic when Brad is leading a Quick Look with him.

I'm not digging some of the character design but this game looks neat! It'd be a shame if this is an XBLA exclusive forever.

NO, ALL OPINIONS MUST BE IRRATIONAL, BIASED, AND EXIST ONLY IN A BINARY STATE.

oh, my bad :D

Too furry for me. I'll pass.

I dunno whether to watch all of this or not. I already know I'm gonna love it so I don't want anything spoilt, even little things like side quests or whatever.

Looks stunning, certainly getting this. The only Summer of Arcade game that's interested me.

Love the charm.

the metroid-like map is just making me crazy pumped as fuck

gonna play this all day tomorrow (all night???)

edit: fuck a lot of people viewing this @ 12am, hopefully they're in the same insane boat as me.

DON'T!

There is a big thing in here.

I am i'd say...

got to the point with the two soldier dudes and had to stop

have a feeling i may really dig the story on this

Man, late ass quick looks make me super happy!

Tail? Get it? bahahahahahahha. Clever.

Instantly just looks like bad fan art shading to me...

My brain has no room to take on other possibly awesome games right now, but this would top the list

By that logic, you could say that near-every videogame franchise has been "ruined" by idiots on the Internet hating on them.

A guy on XBLA playing Call of Duty once told me that all Halo fans are black homosexuals (not the words he used) who wouldn't know a good game if it teabagged them. Does that have any impact on the actual quality of the franchise or its fans? Nope. Just like all the angry people from 4chan bashing on anything with anthropomorphic animal characters don't have any effect on whether or not those things, or the people who like them, are any good either. You were right the first time, duder; there's absolutely nothing inherently wrong with animal characters, so disregard angry haters on the Internet and judge the game on its own merits. :-)

Where did he say the haters ruined it?

I am pretty sure you don't get it, 4chan users aren't 'bashing' the idea, it's that a sub culture of people are dressing up as such and being linked to weird sexual encounters, and that one fact is so weird and memorable, when we see a speaking cat with an upright body, we remember the horrible furries. You just can't say "I'm not going to remember this awful thing 4chan, because I want to like this thing right now in a game." Your brain doesn't work like that. I am going to ignore that CoD analogy, because it made no sense in this topic.

@sunsetstreek: Thanks for the warning ^^

This game has style oozing out of it's ear holes. God, it sure is gorgeous. This is a definite purchase for me.

Times like this wish I had an xbox. ;/
