Yep, Platinum's Making a Legend of Korra Game

lol@u

Please stop writing LoK...it still hurts...

Never Forget.

Oh, the game comes out this fall and they can't show us a single ounce of gameplay? Cool. Where do I pre-order?

Yeah, but it's a really REALLY good children's cartoon.

@landon: If you say so. I know a lot of people really like it, but everything I've seen was embarrassing. Especially the super low-rent animation that seemed to be about 2 frames per second. But I think that was early in Avatar's run so maybe it got better? I'm not going to waste time to find out. I'm busy watching Trailer Park Boys on Netflix, a show that I do not fully understand, but is strangely compelling.

remind me never to look at neogaf again. the level of hate they have for book 2 should only be reserved for certain war criminals. it was a little disappointing in context, yes, but come on.

First WayForward makes Adventure Time games, now this. Why do companies I love never make games based on animation I care about?

Don't even dare say such things.

Do I have to know what "Legend of Korra" is? I can only find the 2014 game on GB

Edit: Oh it's some cartoon show. I thought this was some game franchise I've never heard about.

@shaanyboi: That video you posted makes me want to watch this show! I'm 26 now and I used to be pretty into anime in my teens, until a few years ago, and of course western cartoons as a kid (Batman: The Animated Series, X-Men, TMNT, Jackie Chan Adventures lol, etc etc.) Netflix seems to have a lot of old classics that I used to love, and lots of things I missed. This Legend of Korra show looks great! What is the best way to watch it? I don't have cable.

Also: I hope that game turns out great. For all the LoK fans and Platinum games fans alike.

I wish I was interested in that show, because I love me some Platinum.

I just almost had a heart attack just reading the title of this video! Legend of Korra is probably the best animated show running on TV right now, and just one of the best shows in general!

Ew Nickelodeon.

@alyssia: there's quite a few great shows out there thanks to nickelodeon so that's kind of a dismissive attitude to have. ren & stimpy, rocko's modern life, invader zim, A:TLA and korra, to name a few. i mean, unless you have watched and hated each and every one of them, then fair enough.

@mathewmcgee: Korra is a sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender, and alot of its concepts are introduced in that show. It might still be on Netflix, otherwise you can find it on DVD. Either way, Avatar is widely considered one of the best animated adventure shows ever made, and it has a strong following for a reason. You should definitely watch it before anything. Otherwise, the impact of alot of stuff in Korra might not really hit home. First season is pretty simplistic and has alot of stand-alone episodes, but it's fun and deals with some surprisingly mature themes, especially for something aimed at kids. The second season, specifically once Toph gets introduced, is when the show really becomes amazing. My brother got me hooked onto it, and just about everyone else I've showed it too became obsessed.

Korra is definitely aged up a bit, but is hit or miss at times. Atleast when compared to Avatar. Season 1 was pretty strong for the most part, season 2 was pretty rocky, but season 3 has been off to great start. But still, if nothing else, the fight choreography is pretty fantastic, and the animation is generally quite excellent. As for how to watch it, you can probably purchase episodes off of PSN/XBLA/itunes etc. Otherwise, the first two seasons are available on blu-ray.

Every time I read GAF, I wonder if they live in some kind of fantasy world where video games and TV shows are some kind of analogy for genocide, considering the amount of rage they feel over it. The dictators of the world manipulating the game industry as some kind of proxy war.

So much MEH to me, but from the looks of it plenty of fans of the show will buy it and then maybePlatinumGamescan make something awesome.

@larrydavis: You get into murky water trying to toss the labels around though. I mean, Korra's animation has been handled by a Korean studio that worked on the first series and a Japanese studio. Namely Studio Pierrot, who animated Yu Yu Hakusho, Flame of Recca, Saiyuki, Naruto, Bleach, etc...

I hope the multiplayer is just all pro bending, that'd be cool.

I want dialogue options to romance Asami Sato

@bulimicbalzac: Are you ok? Your picture of sexy video game men with condoms in there mouth is just as the game about planes with panties (which by the way is a decent SRPG).

I think this video is incorrectly filed under "Features." @rorie
