Dragon's Crown Casts a Spell on PS3 and Vita Next Week

Haven't we had this exact video description already?

@humanity: every time you see something like this a wizard did it

This game is definitely not for me, and that's not only because I don't care for beat'em-ups. Over the top or not, intentionally parodical or completely serious, I find the art style in this game extremely off-putting. Sorry if that bothers anyone, but, hey: opinions go both ways, right?

That game is the breast, I mean the best!

True, but it is the way we state our opinions (in your case is fair) is what matters from making a criticism and just shouting in to space.

What if, hypothetically speaking, back problems are my fetish?

*looks at that art*

NOOOOOOOOOPE

This game doesn't support my political ideology.

It must be terrible then.

The art is nice and everything but I've never liked how much of its animation is just bending the picture. Muramasa and Odin Sphere did the same thing. I get why they do it, too save money, time and memory, I just don't think it looks good.

Whatever font they chose for the game title is rather unforunate

I'm getting this because of dragons, beholders, and it has a Monty Python reference. (I wont spoil it)

Those boobs are the only thing holding my interest in this.

Well played.

Odin Sphere is $5 on PSN and I've been enjoying it so far, and it shows how the art styles in vanillaware games just continues to become more over the top. I love it in Odin's Sphere, not a fan of it in this one, and can't wait to see what these characters will look like 10 years from now.

The stiff way these characters move is probably worse than the art design in the first place.

I don't know if people have mentioned this before but there actually exists a subset of character aesthetics in erotic manga that matches this. Of course ordinarily women are well endowed in erotic manga, but just like how small breasted is a specified subgenre style, so is the super exaggerated. I would link an example but well...you know how that would go. Depending on the character there are actually three references being made in this game, between that super exaggerated style, a normally but still exaggerated style, and a Baroque aesthetic that also crops up frequently.

Interpret that how you will that they straight up put an erotic/porn art style into this game but hey, that's one aspect I don't know if people brought up that much.

I'll wait for this to show up on PS+ in about 6 months.

I think given that she has to develop really strong back muscles to hold those objects up, her back should be fine.

I can't take this game seriously.

Regardless of how good this game may or may not be, I just cannot play it because of the art style. It weirds me out and is not something that I want to support. Creepy.

Disgusting and unnatural.
Really hate sexed up female characters.

Looks like a great game, but it's hard to ignore those flying around whenever she moves.
Game is made for horny teenagers or something, it's pathetic.

I'm really bummed that this isn't a cross-buy game.

MAGIC NIPPLES.

There's nothing sexy about[...]this sorceress[...]later in life.

Daaamn those tits are MASSIVE

I generally like Vanillaware style, but these are a bit too over the top.

Not really super excited about the game either.

Fuck, her boobs do look like a butt

Still finding it real dumb that apparently all discussion about this game automatically has to gravitate towards the design of one character, as opposed to the actual majority of the content of the game, or, the GAMEPLAY. It's alright to dislike a game and all, but there's a lot more to criticize than a single character. I get it, she has giant breasts and horrible anatomy. But is the game (or since it's not out yet, the ideas behind it) fun?

let's get soleil moon frye on the blower

The character design of this game looks dumb not to mention that boobs have idle animations. Garbage!

The breast doesn't really offend me at all, I think that has more to with the heavy sexualization of the body part in our society, forcing women to cover them as much as possible, and occasionally prevent them from breast feeding in public as not to offend someone's new-puritanical sensibility. God forbid allowing a toddler to eat when hungry. Not to mention the censorship of companies like Apple, just because they get a boner every time see anything resembling a breast, ergo it must be porn.

What does offend is the fact that every female basically have the same face. I mean when every male character got a distinct facial features, why does every female have the heart shaped face of 14 year old girl. It seems George Kamitani's artistic skills are severely lacking in that department. It sad because he is obviously an amazing artist, and find it hard to think of any other game with art that can even compare to some the stuff he does.

Obviously he is far from the only culprit in the industry (and certainly not isolated to the media of games) as apparently it is almost forbidden to be a female with a less than beautiful face.

Focusing on the breasts is silly.

For the first 20 seconds of that trailer I was thinking 'wow Rayman Legends has gone in a totally different direction then I initially expected'.

@beritbunny: aww thanks :D

I think it's disgusting and unspeakable that this company thought it was "okay" to steal the brain of a thirteen year old boy and transplant it into an adult human body, and then allow it to direct the creative development of a game. Infuriating, and such a deplorable waste of everyone involved in this hideous thing.

I don't think a human being would be able to live with a frame like that.

No thanks.

Game is getting good reviews. I'm so pumped for it.

TITTIES HOOOOO!!!!!

I don't get that sort of art design when porn is always just around the corner.

lol

Eyes up here.

Man part of me wants to say those are absurd looking, and should be a little gross in a tacky sense. Unfortunately its a really small part, cuz fuck me, I cant help but love em!

well, thats pretty much what nature intended breasts to look like.

Do her armpits have boobs aswell?

I have never seen a dragon wear a crown.

"Sexist video game developers won't conform to Gawker/tumblr standards. Users burning bras/grandma panties in protest- Vanillaware director unavailable for comment due to bathing in money and protester tears"

I second this! ;)

I don't know about this artwork, those female characters look kind of ridiculous.
