Yeah, apart from the things that I see, I don't see anything interesting about this game.

This game is too pixelated! Not a shred of anti-aliasing anywhere! More proof that the PS3 just can't live up to the name.

Well if you like Zelda or even a Spelunker fan. You have a high Probability of liking this game...

 Doesn't look half bad but dam that sword is big and it get long like a penis but the only different is that sword gets bigger then a Penis and if it had if it had real characteristics it would probably be harder too.

FAQ
Yes I just Compared a sword in a game to a Penis and This also means it near the end of the world.

Silly Dday

Also I was already hyped at the graphics at first, then I was hyped because it was like NES Zelda which I adore, and I guess Spelunker is interesting too

But you guys, did you know you can actually make your own hero in this game?

Since all the graphics are 3d pixels(blocks)

you can do 3d pixel art!

This game looks seriously good. It's probally the only PS3 game I can think of that really jumps out at me. A few more cool games and maybe i'll get one. Esp. as the new slim PS3 is almost afordable.

I'm actualy pretty tempted , i like the art and i'm a zelda fan so why not?
i'm sorry, but that giant sword is just plain cheating!

EDIT: i hope they include an adventure editor it would be so easy to make art for this game, they could include an art editor as well, but would they? doubt it.

further edit: its almost like there trying to bring snes rpgs into the future... i wonder if it uses the marching squares graphic algorithm?

Bumping a very old topic, but this just came out a few days ago I believe. Has anyone tried it out yet?

I plan on picking it up today after work and then messing around in the character creator before jumping into the game.

I really want it but I have to wait until I have the cash for it.

So I did pick this up today and it's incredibly fun! The game it shares the most in common with is definitely A Link to the Past, which is not a bad thing at all.

pig style, what's with the doors in dungeons that won't open with regular keys? They have a red marking on the map or something? I've cleared the first two dungeons and couldn't get past those doors.

so to the guys who have played this what differentiates it from zelda, like, at all?  because based on the videos I've seen it literally looks like the exact same thing.  same music, same enemies, BOULDERS FALLING DOWN CLIFFS I mean what's up with that.  I'm sure it's LOADS OF FUN but what's the deal?

Haha, yeah, watched the trailer and it looks like they were trying to remake A Link To The Past. EXACT same music, I swear. And that 'house' that turns from 2D to 3D looks JUST like ALTTP.

Either way, showed my roommate who has a PS3 the trailer and he's stoked on it, so I think he's gonna buy it, which means I get to mooch off of him and play it. Awesome.

Well, there are certainly more towns than there are in the 2D Zeldas. The overworld is also a bit trickier to navigate in some places. I was trying to get through the desert last night and it was driving me nuts, because it has that cliche moving quicksand that acts like one way conveyor belts all over the place.

There is so much that this game has in common that it's ridiculous, but surprisingly the atmosphere is completely original. While every gameplay element seems to be ripped from either LoZ or LttP, the atmosphere is completely unique. This game has very amusing writing, and I love the jokes. The Mega Man reference after clearing one of the first temples was pretty funny.

Any online features?

Except being able to download characters other people have made, which isn't even done ingame? Nope.

The music comes from a variety of different games mixed together. I heard a little bit of Metroid mixed into some of the dungeons, and the character select screen sounds like Dragon Quest. I'm sure there are other themes mixed into the music too, but I'm not able to point them out.

I saw an ad for this online that popped up in front of me and I was genuinely interested in something I only saw in an online ad for the first time in my life and they failed to show the name of the game/what system, either that or it was so fast I missed it

Man, the more I play this, the more I fall in love with it. 3D Dot Game Heroes is nothing but a completely over the top love letter to the days of old, when gaming wasn't about online multiplayer, downloadable content (even though this game may end up with it, maybe?), games lacking substance to due a focus on graphics, etc. It's just plain fun, and emulates old school gaming so well that I feel like a part of me that I grew out of several years ago is back whenever I play this game.

My brother, who loves to declare that he doesn't care much for games anymore (which is partly true though I got him addicted to Elements, the flash card game), was over yesterday was quite interested in the game as well because everything it emulates is what he grew up with too. 3D Dot Game Heroes just brings back so many feelings, memories, sensations.

People like to criticize games that only seem to succeed due to nostalgia. Well, if loving nostalgia really is so wrong these days, then I certainly don't want to be right.

Yeah, found out the keys, but thanks anyway!
