Will /v/ like Hipster Earthbound and make it popular like Undertale? or do we already hate it.

As an Asian male, it feels like we get the short end of the diversity stick.
On one hand, we're 'exotic'.
On the other, a Han Chinese man is literally the most average type of person in the world.
[spoilers]at least I have my WRPGs[/spoiler]

It looks so bad.
Is it going to be good?
People don't like undertale becauser it's hipster earthbound, they like it because its a surprising and subversive video game.
It wasn't successful because it was a kooky RPG thing, it just so happened to be a kooky RPG thing.
>>321337402
Looks like tryhard hipster garbage.
>>321337402
Do we have to play a hipster bearded dood?
I am unironically looking forward to it. At least it drops the retro pixelshit for actual 3D models.
Was that a fucking Judgement Ring battle system?
Ok, no matter how bad the diversity faggotry is I'd probably still play any game that's cribbing intentionally on Shadow Hearts.

Here's some PAX Prime footage.

Combat looks really slow, and the music is really janky, like it wants to be Earthbound like, but also have it's own spin.
I'm interested in it, but not expecting it to be amazing.
It's more the visuals than anything else. Not that it has amazing graphics or anything, It's just pleasing to my eyes for some reason.
>>321340043
Here's a bunch of battle footage
>>321337402
I was just saying the other day, how indie games should start doing low-poly stuff, instead of falling back on pixelart like they usually do.
So I'm glad for that much.
However, the trailer doesn't really tell me what it's about. So I don't know what to think of the game. So far, I'm only mildly annoyed by the fact that that hipster ginger cunt appears to be the protagonist. And the music wasn't really hitting me.
That black girl is hot as fuck though.
First impression: It's likely to be utter garbage with a someone interesting aesthetic. But I'm open to changing my mind, if it shows me something I can really connect with.
>>321337402
>post-modern
>its actually not post-modern
why I'm not surprised in the slighest?
>>321340649
You couldn't tell MGS2 was post modern just by the trailers before rekease, you know
>>321340649
What IS Post-modernism?
>>321340104
Wow, who knew "nu"males have existed for all of human history? Someone should build a time machine to go back in time and tell all those young guys with beards that they werw SJWs. Boy will they feel silly.
>Hipster Earthbound with Shadow Hearts combat
mite b cool.
>>321340790
I can tell this isn't because they're trying to sell its postmodernism by breaking the visual impostation. also a postmodern rpg should start by avoiding a party- and here we got one on the cover
>>321340885
check wikipedia
>>321337402
>A Post-Modern RPG
I remember when I was a college freshman 11 years ago I never heard "Post-Modern" used as anything other than an insult/pejorative/mockery term.
My how times change.
>Declaring your own game post-modern
That's not how that works.
>>321337402
>No Vaporwave soundtrack
They tried
fuck awful artstyle anf character designs. gameplay looks alright but that fuck awful style is making me not purchase it
>>321340104
It's 2015 after all.
>>321340613
After seeing this >>321340276 I've lost hope of it being good. Battles are way too fucking slow. Characters aren't coming across well. Looks like a post-modern snooze.
>>321337402
It comes off as pretentious as opposed to genuine, and the title certainly doesn't help either.
>>321341283
It should have been acoustic vaporware.
anyway, another good point
>>321341273
It's kind of like when a company puts out a clip/trailer from an upcoming movie with the label/title "VIRAL VIDEO"

Keyboard girl a cute
Honestly, seems more like hipster Persona to me. Especially with those battles.
>>321340276
>THat brown qt in the overalls
If we can't romance her, I will start a riot!
Visually I don't like it, and it seems a bit too weird for my tastes. But I'm not going to call it bad.
I like the low poly look and I like the music but nothing about the combat they've shown has done much to inspire confidence
looks terrible and the music sucks
>>321342810
>>321339112
Now this is some diversity I can get behind.
>>321343694
it has literally nothing to do with persona.
>>321340276
God that battle music is dreadful. It's WAY to minimalistic for an RPG battle theme, the game just sounds so empty, which makes it stick out like amateurish trash, like it was never finished completely.
>>321345509
>it has literally nothing to do with persona.
Have you not seen the battles? It's the exact same angles, portraits, enemy positions, everything. The only stand-out difference is using a "Attack at the right time" system for attacks hwich every indie RPG and their mother's been doing for the past two or so years.
Earthbound's all Dragon Quest-styled menus, not pic related.
>>321340276
It's like a really shitty hipster version of Killer7, with none of the redeeming qualities.
>>321340276
>Vella used Smooth Jazz!
>It's super effective!
wew lad
>>321345509
The only thing its has in common, is that it's set in modern time. And i bet the creator is thinking he's being real clever for making an RPG set in modern times, even though it's nothing new, the persona series started on the PSone, and earthbound was before that. He should have set the game to take place inside his own asshole, I bet you he's real familiar with that setting.
The visuals seem nice and I like the design of the characters, and the music seems okay so far.
But the game just looks really rigid, especially the puzzle solving - I've literally seen flash games with a better sense of movement and weightier looking characters.
The combat also looks slow and like it'll lack any impact, and the more of it I see the more I think it'll be based on characters having visual gimmicks to their attacks to mildly entertain you rather than trying to stimulate you with any actual strategy or depth.
Also the trailer is just a bunch of vague as fuck jump cuts that lack any explanation of the premise and are filled with imagery that makes me think the game will crib the imagery of stuff like Lain or Yume Nikki in an extremely superficial manner without considering any form of pathos,since the devs realize the plot won't grab anybody's attention. The fact it's a self proclaimed "post-modern" game just makes me feel even more strongly it'll lack thematic depth and will mostly get by on style over substance to cover up a likely poorly written story that'll borrow heavily from other works.
>>321337402
undertale is goat and more fun than shitcher 3 and memeborne
>>321345710
The battle system looks more like FFX than persona. Just with the little minigame on all attacks instead of just overdrives.
>>321345710
Again, they have literally nothing to do with persona.
The enemy positions arent even the same in your own picture you dumb fuck.
>>321346574
>I'm blind so you must be wrong!
You must be a great role model for your wife's son.

Stack it up to an actual JRPG, since that's what it wants to be. i can tell you dont play many video games if all you can reference is the top AAA releases of the year. Falcom also released Cold Steel this year. And FF 15 and Persona 5 WERE set to hit this year. You hipster indie trash will never live up to a game produced by a full team of Nips, back to tumblr with you.
When people said Undertale is a Tumblr game, it's only because there's like, one or two gay couples and the game inspired furry fanart like every other video game.
This game literally looks like Tumblr: the game. Undertale was my GOTY, but I'm already biased against this game.

It looks like you plebs dont know where the battle angles and style are from.

The fuck are you even trying to say, retard?
The players in persona 4 clearly surrounds the enemys while this RPG has both the enemy and players facing eachother.
>>321346939
>>The players in persona 4 clearly surrounds the enemys
The fuck are you talking about? Play the game before you talk out of your ass
>>321337402
Isn't this a good thing? sjws are making games for themselves, instead of trying to change established franchises. Everybody wins.
>>321346775
People here say Undertale is a tumble game because they hate the loud minority fanbase. Trust me when I say that this game will be that this game will be panned by critics because it tries too hard, only to be defended by this place. It's the contrarian way
>>321346929
Lost Odyssey is a year younger than Persona 3.But Lost Odyssey is leagues better
