Please have more gameplay than Assassin's Creed.
Looks the bomb, by the way. Just don't forget gameplay this time. |

That looks really, really good. I love the art style.
The girl could use some more feminizing though. |

I've always liked games that utilise cell-shading...I loved the look of XIII when it was released especially (sound effects written on-screen...awesome), but this looks really nice. As written previously - let's hope this game adds effective gameplay and not just fancy graphics.

Prince of Persia goes Japan?
Cell shading approach seems promising, though. |

Sorry to burst all your bubbles, but I'm pretty sure these are concept art drawings, not screenshots...

I am not sure, some of those shots are definately concept art, you can see the brush strokes. But with others, its a little hard to tell, the shot with him clawing onto the wall while falling down some kind of shaft looks rendered.
The fact that its hard to tell between concept art and in game rendering is....next-gen! or, current gen. I am really glad they are going with the cell shaded stylised look. I want escapism in my games, not gritty gray realism. Whats with everyone calling that rendered female face manly? I cant see it.

Looks like I'm alone in not liking this look and feel so much. Oh well, good luck to them anyway

Cel shading does not equal Manga or any other Japanese style necessarily. This looks much more like western comic book art. A very nice western comic book at that; I can imagine this looking glorious in motion. Also, that woman is indeed very pretty, but about as Persian-looking as Natalie Portman, and he's hardly any better.

MrXBob - the close up portraits are definitely concept. The combat and long range shots look in game.
I agree with JonFE: the mix of realisticish backgrounds and cartoony figures looks strange. Hopefully it works in action, but as screenies, it takes away the "contact" between person and environment, and the lighting doesn't match - looks like old skool blue screen special effects. |

@3william56: "MrXBob - the close up portraits are definitely concept. The combat and long range shots look in game."
The gallery I viewed this morning here only showed 8 or 9 screenshots - checking the full gallery know shows obvious concept art. These werent in the original link from the article. |
