3D Dot Game HEROES

The story starts off like many traditional Japanese RPGs from decades past -- you play as a swordsman, descended from a legendary hero, out to save the world from some vague but powerful evil. Part of your quest involves collecting six magic orbs stolen by a demon of darkness.

3D Dot Game Heroes's world, the primary gimmick, is where the title gets interesting. The Kingdom of Dotnia was once a 2D world like many other RPG settings, but Dotnia's king decided he wanted to reshape the land to attract more people. The ruler was able to do this with technology that essentially remade the kingdom in 3D (parody potential for both 3D remakes and the rise of fifth generation consoles!). Something went wrong with the conversion, however, though From Software hasn't yet specified the disaster.

The middleware and developer behind 3D Dot Game Heroes, Silicon Studio, also worked on Cursor*10-esque PSP game Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuke, which sadly hasn't released outside of Japan. FromSoftware expects to ship 3D Dot Game Heroes in Japan this November.

Your thoughts? I honestly think this thing looks fucking amazing.

Here are some pictures, more can be found in this Neogaf thread




And for comparison reasons, this is the world before the transition to 3D.

That's a neat style they used. It reminds me of legos.

I could not have been the only one who was reminded of the opening sequence of Dragon Warrior/Quest 2. I think this is a nice little cameo.
