I don't mind the boat level - I think I'll even like it when I get to play it - but Helen's level looks awkward as hell. Sure, some if it could be chalked up to the player not knowing what he/she was doing, but still... awkward. I agree that another delay would've been good, but I doubt that'll happen :/

Well..... i can't go in there and straight up say "look. this game needs a delay because some sections play crap" because i WILL get turfed and then that will achieve nothing. I'm not a games tester, i'm acting as a journalist.
....buuut, that being said, this may be the closest i ever get to trying to make a difference in the outcome of this game.
So, here's the deal. This is what i'm about to do.
I'm going to go there with TRiPPY and the NiNJA'S. We'll sit down, play the game as thoroughly as we can and test out these platform levels for ourselves.
See how many of these platform sections there is. If we all feel that these area's of the game really do drag the title down then we will voice our concerns.
But, just because we say that the game seems unfinished doesn't mean it will amount to anything. I'll probably just get given dirty looks by the PRs as i leave the office. Muuur. Things i do for this fanbase.
Why does it suddenly feel like a 'business trip to play JoD' has just become a 'stormraid on Sega'?

Hahahahaaa!!! I'm loving that picture!!! ^o^ Hehe look at the expression on eveyones face especially the guy in the back, Hilaaarious!!!
But I do agree! The stage with Helen looks......... Well kinda dull and boring! I'm starting to wish SEGA would delay it at least a month longer so they can fix stuff up and make it shiny! The 'Dream Garden' and 'Helen stage' need it, BAD!!
Now about 'Boat NiGHTS' I'm LOVING IT!! I was wondering what was screaming, then I realized it was the Pians! ^o^

They can do better, that is true, but the only place that really needs a graphic update is the 'My Dream' area. That place just....ugh. But really I don't care about how realistic it looks. I mean, I had a dream once where the grass looked like chalk. Maybe they are going for that similar effect and don't want everything too real. Or they are just using it as an excuse to rush it...not sure whihc. I just want the game to PLAY well!The textures are so blurry and flaaaaaaaaaat.

The platform level doesn't look fun, but that is probably because the person playing the game wasn't even bothering to attack the nightmarens half the time. In fact the person was just running around and trying to see what the level looked like it seems. It might actually be a little better. But it is kinda slow....and just not right for the game. Kinda like shooting in Sonic games. Just doesn't work....
---Edit---
At least it can be used to explore the levels a bit more indepth. Its always fun to do that.

I wonder if this boat form is what has come of the "Inflato-NiGHTS" form DiGi and TRiPPY heard about a year ago.

Ryuuk could pass for a Maren EASY. X3 Fantastic pic! I'm lovin' the little sheep too!
As for the graphics, yes, they could certainly use some improvement. Correct me if I'm wrong tho, weren't we concerned about the in-flight graphics some time ago? They look pretty good to me now! Maybe it's like someone posted before, Sega's just showing the "beta shots", and the real thing will blow us out of the water - like those poor Pians getting beaned by BoatNiGHTS! XD
I'm taking everything with a grain of salt, but ultimate judgement will be served when I play the final release. DiGi and TRiPPY, I hope they let you play some of the final version!

I rely don't see why they felt the need to put those platforming bits in it in the first place. It looks plain and boring. I'm starting to feel let down here SEGA! All I wanted was more levels to play through like the first NiGHTS. To play through again and again and see if I could just get that little bit better of a score. Not boring platform bits like something from a Crash Bandicoot game.

Oof.. Helen section not so much in the 'good' department.. anyone else feel kinda 'eh' that they just remix the main level music for that section? I bet the kids's limited sfx get really weary as well.. can all they do is throw chips? Seriously, I still don't get it.. what are we supposed to get out of that

You mean they still ain't changed the title of the video? I contacted the dumb prick and told him to change it two days ago. Hmm. Seems he ain't listening to me.
How about all you guys sign up and go and harass him too?

Lol. Fair point, Josse. XD Ok, we can call off the 'riot' then.
Still, it is annoying when they get things wrong. All these major gaming websites claim to be fans of the original game but they really don't know anything about it, do they? Well...at least as not as much as us. This website is kinda like the centre of the universe right now, in terms of JoD stuff.

Can't expect every video game website to be 100% correct.

1up has been awesome enough having this coverage to begin with. It's just kinda funny how they have these little errors somehow.Can't expect every video game website to be 100% correct.

The video looks really great. But, I must say that my old worry of excessive platforming is starting to surface again. Judging from this video, running around is becoming pivotal in the story, drawing away from the focus of the series, which is NiGHTS and his flying.
Sega, if you know whats good for you, then either cut back on the platforming or really try to strike a balance with it. Going too far in this direction may have the opposite effect than what was intended.

Well, in the first place, the story really was intended to be about the kids, but NiGHTS became so dang popular, not to mention the fact this wasn't clearly represented in the original game. ^^' Not that I can say anything on the subject, since I've never played the original.

Maybe them adding all thiese "on foot" levels is their way of stretching out the game a bit.
