I like the fact that Reala yelps the same noise he did in the old game only with his new voice now. This goes for NiGHTS too. NiGHTS yelping "watch it!" with the new accent sounds cute. XD

You know me, I have to disagree for Reala. The new voice is more a GUUAHG while the original was more a GIIAAH. Though I give them credit for trying to stay as close as possible.

Reala really sounds DBZ to me for some reason. o_o

Edit:
Crappy comparison.

Hmmm.....I kinda agree more with Maresuke on that one, but it IS close! As For NiGHTS....lol, comparing the two voices really makes me thing NiGHTS as the younger sibling XD. I'm REALLY warming up to the actress and how she makes NiGHTS sound....Reala I'll have to wait for some actual lines...so far I'm liking the old voice better.

NiGHTS fans... we don't miss anything. Details are our lifeblood XD


At first I was really worried about this game, but now I think I can relax. Crystal Castle looks so good, not to mention Lost Park and the other levels. There are still a couple details they should probably iron out, but I'm a nitpicker and they mostly relate to a couple awkward character animations that they're likely working on anyway. I don't think anyone can complain about the graphics anymore, they look at the least decent, and at the best, beautiful.

I really am amazed how close they've managed to keep this to the original, while still being able to add new things to it. (and I'm pondering those things DiGi said... and getting really excited about what it might possibly be XD) Seriously, I really had my doubts when looking at rougher versions, but now I think I'm convinced. The people working on this game are real masters. I think that by the time the game comes out, they'll have earned a lot of respect from all of us...

I can't wait to go to the library next week to see all these new videos. Until then, I gotta settle for Youtube on Dialup. TT_TT
However, you guys are really getting me more excited for this game than I already was! I got to play a little Mario Galaxy a few days ago in Wal-Mart, and that was AWESOME! (Although, it was my first time even SEEING a Wii, so it would have been awesome either way. XD) And you're telling me that this looks even better than that!
I hate my bloody dialup! I wanna see! *Kicks modem* MOVE FASTER!! *Phone line comes out* 0_0 NOOOOO!

Listening to the Reala "OWCH" noise reminds me more of the voice they used for NiD Wizeman... >_o I hope Wizeman has the same or similar Voice... and not some slowed down God-like voice.

Also GREEN SPARKLES?! D: What happened to YELLOW?! (or is it just me?)

New NiGHTS voices seem diff to me then the older videos... I don't know why. Perhpas I've just grown more used to it now.

HAH! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED!! I like the sparkles! 'Coarse I like any sparkles, but hey, they're sparkles. I do miss the gold sparkles though....as well Reala's yellow claws...but I guess we gotta try and enjoy what we got.

mmhmm. That's what our source said. ..... oh boy.

As for the sparkles. Reala's sparkles were yellow in the old game so...why green now? I mean, i love the colour obviously but ...i dunno, i didn't even notice it anyway. It's all good.

I just hate Science Fiction Green.... and thats what his sparkles look like. Maybe it's to add a scary factor or the fact that his claws are no longer yellow so they have to be a blue variant?

Well, like I said we're just gonna have to TRY and like it.....just like how everyone just had to try and like the voices and revamps...and the kids who a lot of people still hate. But still...I liked the small gold implements of his old design, the mask I'm still getting used to. Oh, HEY, look there's a bright-side! THEY KEPT THE MAKE-UP! YAY! *loves to poke fun at his make-up*

The part where he's spinning to go faster- *doesn't want to call it 'drill dash' if it's not a drill dash* -is the only time I see green sparkles for Reala; the rest of the time they're purple and red.

The 2player almost made me giggle at the end. Reala's win pose was somewhat hilarious.
And you know, about his voice and all that - maybe it was done to balance his image? Frill and feathers, and a masquerade mask, but - a well-build manly figure and a certainly-masculine voice...
And I want a pic wuth Reala and his rainbow trail :3

And I think I'm over NiGHTS voice; at least, when he yelps 'Watch it!' he sounds like more like a juvenile boy, rather than a girl...

Ans yeeeeeshhh, Crystal Castle is everyone's number one level now >w< I love crystals

I'm with the general consensus in thinking that Crystal Palace looks great. Nice music too, but too background in my opinion.

Cons:
- Dragon form seems to add no positive to gameplay, apart from making areas accessible
- Music, good or bad, in all levels is far too detached from the game itself
- Significant frame rate dropping in the 2 player mode
- 2 player mode has removed almost everything interactive, except the rings
- NiGHTS's balls have dropped. He says "Watch out" like a male now.
- Kids' animation looks clunky
- Still too much space
- The camera angle only makes it worse
- The pians' voices
- big NiGHTS

Pros:
- Crystal Palace looks fantastic
- And it has the mirrors business
- And nice music (albeit a bit slow)
- Rocket NiGHTS, mini NiGHTS
- Two player mode looks okay

That's all I can think of since I'm about to fall asleep.

Hm, I'm actually looking forward to using the Dragon. It seems to attract chips and stuff much like Claris and Elliot did in Twin Seeds, which can be remarkably useful in some areas where accumulating a link would be difficult otherwise.

The Pians are better and sound cuter in my opinion. I love what they done with the voices for them.

Also, after seeing Maresuke's video, i take back my statement about Reala's voices. Terribly sorry, dear. XD

Whoever thought of the level where you paraloop nightopians to "save them" (aka Killing them) was pure genius. I want to shake that person's hand.
[/quote]
AHAA! XD

I'm soooo looking forward to this game. I needs it now. I'm still REALLY curious as to how you'll fight Wizeman though.

I like the pians voices too. Not used to their new design yet though. I dunno I liked how they looked a little creepy in the first game lol.

BTW what's Maresuke's video of? Is it on youtube? And nice to see you back 'Suke mate ^_^

Edit: Oops, never mind, I saw it in my subscriptions.

At least he doesn't shout an obscenity when he get's hurt. That would kinda ruin the moment but bring his character off as even more evil :S

That and this is a family game; no obscenities are allowed in family games (except the very mild ones, and that all depends on what's being aimed for).

Artemis, you just remind me about boat NiGHTS! Boy, to be honest, I find it rather hilarious. Bobsled NiGHTS was okay, but boat NiGHTS looks somewhat funny - maybe it's his bulky shape with tiny legs, or maybe fingers that moves as Will rides him. I can almost guess what he's thinking about, moving his fingers that nervously: "Ow gawd, here we go with 'hit-the-rock-with-the-face-of-NiGHTS' again..." XD Sorry.

Oooooh YES! I remember that one too. I can't wait to hear/see his reaction if you crash him into the bridge you're supposed to jump over.

One of Reala's 'hit' sounds in the old game sounded like he was yelling the F-bomb. XD I remember playing against a friend of mine in 2p mode with my mom in the room, and Reala got hit.

"Hold on! Did I just hear-?"

"No mom, don't worry. It's just your imagination. D:"

I can only imagine what the owl will say regarding boat NiGHTS.
Helen: are we going to be flying again tonight?
NiGHTS: I thought we would enjoy a ride down nightopia's river *transforms*
Owl: Yes, Helen. Get inside NiGHTS.

Also, I can't help feeling that someone may have beat me to this joke in a diffrent thread.

Does this game really need more polish? It looks and sounds wonderful as is, if you ask me. Uuuhh, I'm getting so desperate! I know, it will be worth it in the end. But still!

I really don't like the rainbow trail behind Reala when he dashes. Can't figure out why... :blink: A jagged path of red and black would have been much more fitting and cooler. Or a trail of CHAINS! (sorry, I never got into that whole bit before, had to do it eventually)

I love the Pian voices too. Have any of you heard about what all you can do with them in the garden? Any races or karate (against the Nightmarens). I hope there is something aside from letting them make everything look pretty.

Well, if NiGHTS becomes popular, and Sonic keeps getting worse, than a few things might happen. Here is a worst-case scenario:

Sega, fed up with the continually worsening performance of Sonic games, sells the IP to Nintendo, who promptly restores the franchise to greatness. Sega kicks itself in the head.

Sega takes NiGHTS and sets him up as the new company mascot, creating a massive franchise in the process.

After two or three very good sequels, Iizuka leaves the company. A new leader is found, and he takes the series into full 3D flight, in the game NiGHTS Adventure.

After NiGHTS Adventure is given the benefit of the doubt in reviews, who see this as a breakthrough and ignore the technical problems, Adventure 2 is released, which is also a hit.

After the Adventure duo are released, Sega falls to pieces because of financial problems, and puts out a string of bad NiGHTS games, trying to stay afloat.

Trying to give NiGHTS a darker side, a new game is released called Reala Into Dreams, which features the anti-NiGHTS as an gun-wielding, obscenity flinging motorcycle maren.

At last, all the entire franchise falls apart with the release of the abominable 2013 game entitled: NiGHTS Into Dreams. After being totally trashed by critics, Sega decides to sell the franchise to Nintendo, who immediately restore the games to greatness. Sega kicks itself in the head.

Sega takes Shenmue...

I have no doubt of that. What I risk for the sake of satire...

If Sega ever tried to pull any of those horrible things, I would sell everything, buy a plane ticket to Japan, enough food to last a month and enough dynamite to make sure that the people at Sega would know my wrath.
