Not much time to write at the moment, so expect more tomorrow…
Many thanks to SFCer Synbios1978, for pointing out this little news gem! It seems IGN have had the opportunity to play a demo of Shining Tears – and the verdict is good!
They’ve added some lovely quality screen shots and a whole bunch of gameplay movies. I’ll try to add the vids to the movie archive here at SFC tomorrow, when the other 3 dozen or so finish uploading 😉 The movies are well worth watching, the music, graphics and gameplay all seem quite fantastic!
The preview is very positive about the game itself too – seems like it will be to Shining Soul II what Shining Soul II was to Shining Soul. Watch the vids and you’ll see what I mean 🙂
A couple of quotes which stood out to me, which I think will be equally pleasing to you all:
“… it’s definitely aimed towards the old school crowd. Sixteen-bit through and through, the straightforward gameplay mechanics aren’t as complicated as the majority of today’s more recent role-players…”
“The game’s level-up system promises to be just as customizable as the attack types too, as players will be able to distribute the various skill points they attain to build specific attributes and abilities.”
Go, read, enjoy 🙂
