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?

Not much new information, but its the start of what should be a on going waterfall from the show.

Thanks for the link. :)

Glad to hear they're working on balancing more this time around. From the way he was talking about Algol, it made me wonder if he's coming back (which I didn't consider at all before). Hopefully he just meant Hilde.

So they're going to wait a couple months to release the guest character. I'm done guessing at who the guests are, I'll just wait XD

Looking forward to what you have to say, Kayane. :)

 

wcm: your need to be important just rubs me the wrong way. "Defiance" implies authority :p

also your bad advice.

Yeah, it had me wonderin', too. I thought without question, Bubbleman wasn't goin' to make it into this iteration [Then again, I also thought SC's "Kenny" wasn't goin' to be in either, but low and behold, he's still in, rockin' his Elvis cut [on a side note, have y'all ever notice that on odd iterations of this series, Maxi always rocks a jacket, and on the even ones, he always rocks a vest? Just a little pattern I recently picked up on]]. Hmm....Though I'm not a big fan of projectiles in this series, I can see him bein' in. He would would probably fit in pretty well, story-wise.

 

I don't know if it has been said, but all of their profiles are now on Facebook. Hilde has babies.

Lol, I never noticed that. Probably a coincidence, but it would be funny if they did it on purpose. I didn't think he was coming either. Much better him than Algol, though. I'm not a big fan of the latter.

And Siegfried has babies? XD

Looking more and more likely, by that description.

 

I don't think hilde knows who the fathers are.

How does hilde have over 20 pounds on tira, and they are the same height is beyond me!

Namco sucks at making realistic heights and weights for the characters.

Siegfried was barely over 100 lbs in 4, lol.

 

Man SC has a lot of short characters. Tallest characters are
Asta's is 6'08" and voldo 6, Zas at 5'11"

I really hope we get the content level of SC3 or Tekken 6 with this area in charactere roster and arenas. The more stages the better. SC4 lacked a lot and didnt offer many choices to fight in. We need more stages from over the world. More stages like Ivy's mansion and Cassandra's burning house. I want to see a vid on their updated stage interaction. I hope more things are destructive like glass windows and paintings or pottery.

They need to give every character their own personal stages again like they used to do.

 

i'm liking what i've seen so far. although EVERYONE seems to have an animal theme this time.

haha, voldo's codpiece.

 

At least they HAVE a theme. What was Voldo's theme last time anyway? I don't even know what to call that.

 

wcm: your need to be important just rubs me the wrong way. "Defiance" implies authority :p

also your bad advice.

Of all those things none of them is anything more than draw speculation on your part.

1. There no evidence for a "need to be important" and considering I sat out 2 SC games (3 if you count BD), then there is evidence to counter. Injecting random insults and fallacies into the way you lash out only reveals your position.

2. You routinely say I am not who I claim to be despite evidence. This can be labeled as defiant or just insane (since willfully ignoring facts isn't a measure of sanity). I felt defiant would be the less insulting. You are welcome to replace it with insane if you like.

3. My advice was not bad; however, your interpretation of the situation was wrong. I did not set the terms of the embargo, but Kayane knows them. She is choosing the safest course (also wisest given experience level).

 

Can someone tell something about character's select design?

his SCIV theme was spikes and thorns. and maybe strings.

now he kinda reminds me of masters of the universe's Beastman. in a good way.

i think animal themes are fine, but namco is definitely inflationally overdoing it this time. what will leixia's be? butterflies? and mitsu's 2P? tiger? pyrrha's 2P will probably be a dove or something similarly gentle. a deer perhaps.

I don't mind, as long as they look good :) I'm really happy with everything so far.

WHO'S THE FATHER O.O?????

That's what I'd like to know -_-

 

That's what I'd like to know -_-

hm...who could it be?...Hilde has exchanged the wolfkrone banner on her spear for one sporting the schwarzwind griffin...her armour now has a griffin theme, as has siegfried's...and there's artwork of her and Siegfried together...hmmmmmm...now that's a tough one, isn't it?
