New Artwork and Assets from GamesCom 2011

As GamesCom 2011 continues in Cologne, Germany, Namco continues their steady release of new information and artwork. While a few select Europeans are getting the chance for a first hands on with the game itself... (curse you, Kayane!) we're stuck here with screenshots and artwork only!

Images after the break... Oh Voldo... Why so Sexy?

Tira looks amazing, the stages are spectacular, and the game looks so polished even though its a year away!

 

Has there been any release dates confirmed or any speculation about it yet?
It looks amazing already. Gimme some Demos!

 

Im so excited rite now i popped the button on my pjs

 

After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that... all of this is great!

Seriously, although I never really cared strongly about Maxi, Tira, or Voldo, they at least look well-designed in this update. There are other characters I’d rather see return (Yoshimitsu & Raphael for example), but I also vastly prefer these three to certain other characters (Lizardman, Seong Mi-na, Talim, for example) so I’ll call it a worthy roster so far. I didn’t get Voldo at all until I saw the spider codpiece... then the outfit made perfect sense:

Imagine his all-fours crawl move! CREEPY/awesome. :-)

I am a big fan of Hilde's character and visual design, although I could never really enjoy her charge-based gameplay. She looks great here too, although as I already said I hope there is at least an option to turn off the helmet (but keep the rest of the 1p outfit). I hope I can actually pick her up in SCV! “FOR OUR HOMELAND” just sold the entire trailer to me. And yes, I can dig a possible Hilde / Siegfried pairing.

The new stages look excellent. Great scenery.

Overall I’m happy. :-)

 

Maxi doesn't look much different, but I'm glad to see he's back. I'm really looking forward to the explanation of why some people look as though the 17 years never happened. Tira look the best. All grown up and even more psychotic-looking. It's shaping up to be a good game.

 

Cockrantula with web-slinging action!

 

Like Itami, Maxi's, Tira's and Voldos outfit remind me of those from 3... wisch is pretty sweet actully

 

Lol love this photoshop from twiter, actually this was done by Lasercakes.

 

Lol love this photoshop from twiter

......o......................................kay..........

 

Love all of it. Keep it comming project soul. It looks like Hilde DID age but they are having some problems reflecting that? And it looks like Seigfried(sp?) and Hilde are an item, fighting together and what not lol...

 

OH HE GOT DA MANGO VOLDO

 

OMG!! Tira and Maxi are the most BA out of the group!! I love how they have combined aspects of her first costume in the third game and aspects of her second costume in the fourth game and mooshed them together into one costume of awesomeness!! Maxi looks FLY!! I'm diggin the outrageous collar and the fur and also the little bag thing he has for his Nunchucks! That shistuff is the bomb! Lol, Hilde looks good! I love that she is the only realistic female when it comes down to what you would wear if you were fighting someone. I love how its very similar to her costume in the fourth game but its different. Have you noticed that her armor and Sigfreid's (sp?) armor is similar?! Maybe that was intentional or maybe not. Now, the best for last. Why is voldo so extrmemly fuzzy and colorful?!?! He is rockin fall colors already lol! I dont know about you guys... But I AM READY TO PLAY THIS FREAKING GAME NOW!!! LOL

 

Why is voldo so extrmemly fuzzy and colorful?!?!

See my post (and others).

Good energy though. ;-P I’m excited too!

 

tira looks awesome and more natsu ass is a plus.
still wondering if they will leak the commands for ivys throws or if they been changed again

 

Lol love this photoshop from twiter

Wahahahaha! Perfect!

 

OK, More stuff to say lol. Whats up with Maxi's new stances? Like the hand in the face thing is...thats something else. And another thing is that it looks like they are having soem difficulties with Hilde. I feel like she should look a lot older. Like some grey hairs or something. They could have drawn some wrinkles in her little game art picture. Voldo, looks the same. He still looks old. Tira, IDK why she hasn't aged, and i understand why Maxi hasnt aged. Maybe they will make them look older as they add the finishing touches...

 

Finally a stages that aren't completely Isolated.

 

Love all of it. Keep it comming project soul. It looks like Hilde DID age but they are having some problems reflecting that? And it looks like Seigfried(sp?) and Hilde are an item, fighting together and what not lol...

C'mon lise123, you know he was "hittin it hard from the back" *R kelly Voice* lol!!!!!

 

Hilde. I feel like she should look a lot older. Like some grey hairs or something. They could have drawn some wrinkles in her little game art picture. Voldo, looks the same. He still looks old. Tira, IDK why she hasn't aged, and i understand why Maxi hasnt aged. Maybe they will make them look older as they add the finishing touches...

Tira and Maxi both look a little older, but not quite 17 years. But they are both under the SE influence anyway. I don’t really care too much at this point, they look good without looking quite so young as they used to.

Hilde is in her mid-30s. No need for grey. Her character art... could pass for 17 years later. Her render isn’t obviously older; it’s a subtle change, I agree. But I’ve gotten over the whole “17 years” specificity anyway; it’s obvious that the SC design team either has difficulty figuring out exactly how to age their characters that much or else just didn't want it to be so obvious in the first place.

 

Even MORE to say LOL! i love all of the stages that we saw!! I love the little forest castle stage! All of the stages except the moonlit one looks extrmely original! Hopefully we can get a multi-tier stage or atleast something that is extremely interactive...:p
