Child of Light Remains Absolutely Freakin' Gorgeous

This obviously has controller support on PC even though it's not listed in the features on the steam page... right?

Everyone is loving/hating this trailer for the art but I think the music is fantastic. I've watched it multiple times now just to hear it.

Still looks good, but nothing about it seems as mindblowing as the press makes it out to be. I mean, the graphics look sort of like Braid, but the animation looks wonky in a Monty Python way. And the combat system looks like typical retro RPG style that people would call Square Enix lazy for, if a Final Fantasy game were to use it.

I can respect it, but man I really dislike that art style.

@suits: Yeah, picking "+1 MP" 120 times does not make 120 different skills.

Dat Hair!

Meh!! think i'll give it a miss. Doesn't look up to much just another side scrolling puzzler, level up save the world blah blah blah.

Wow, I'm not even into this kind of game, so I'm really shocked to find out that art style means that much to me, because I really, really want to play this.

The art department get's a giant gold star for this.

You're absolutely right. This is much, MUCH better. Keep it up with the Ubi Art, guys. It's awesome. Also, love the Mike Stoklosa vacation avatar pic.

The name is the same as this song. It's weirding me out a little.

Looks so freaking good

This still isn't Beyond Good & Evil 2, Ubisoft.

Great art style.

YOUR CLASSMATE'S STEP-SISTER IS A WHORE!!!! Pretty game....I'm sold.

@aeterna: I was just going to post that and was wondering why no one else shared my feelings, and then I scrolled down to the last post :)

This reminds me so much of Aquaria. Which is an excellent thing.

The art looks great and it's an RPG side scroller type of thing. I'll keep an eye out for this.

Ubisoft has been killing it with the downloadable games.

Cool trailer. Game looks great. I'm glad they're finally using that Ubiart engine for other games besides Rayman.

It's still my favorite JRPG battle system. If this game carries over the cancel/counter mechanics from Grandia as well, that would be fantastic.

There's a lot of people in these comments who have evidently lost the capacity for joy.

Looks nice.

Maybe I'm just a cynical asshole, but nothing about this art blows me away or makes me want to play this. Especially seeing as the gameplay and narrative don't seem like anything special.

Please be good. Please.

Looks cool but the main character doesn't seem to fit (maybe that's the point but im not a fan)

WOW...

Looks, pipe dope.

Is it a downloadable or retail game?

Omg - can't wait.

So it combines an rpg system and platforming. I'm interested. I love the look too. Can't wait to actually play it.

Shoot me, but I don't think this looks good at all. I really don't like a lot of "digital painting" or what ever you would call it. It's a weird middle ground between something that's obviously made on a computer, with clear colors and lines, and then real hand painted stuff. I have the same problem with Broken age, I really like the style, but the execution is just too "fake". The differences are really clear if you look at something Nathan Stapley has hand painted and something from the game. It has the same style, it just looks too un-textured and flat.

It's probarly just me who's too picky.

really not into the art. I appreciate the water color look, but the actal content of the designs and the art direction is just kind of generic. Their water color aesthetic is a bit mushy as well. Also I can't stand the main character's design.

A Grandia-style action-time bar for combat? Cool. Always liked that system.

The skill tree looks pretty mundane: +1MP, +5 Defense etc.

This game made me realize where some of the classically trained 2d animation artists that Disney and other companies used to employ went.. Feels nice to se really vivid beautifully animated 2d graphics. Weird thing about it is that the 2d revolution is more impressive than what's been going on in 3d for some time now.

Oh, that's more glossy now? Mmm, glorious. Very exciting *yawn*

I have a hard time believing whatever story this has will hold my interest, but maybe the gameplay and art will carry it.

I'm actually more excited about Valiant Hearts. It's an under- or even unused setting for its genre.

But yeah, this looks fricking great.

Wow, this looks really impressive.

Comes out the day after my birthday so it does so a nice little belated birthday gift from Ubisoft! Man, does this game look gorgeous! Don't know why but I thought about Outland while watching this.
