Anyone saw this new game for PS3 yet? It's being developed by Software (Tenchu, Armored Core) and the release date is in November. So far no release outside Japan has been announced though.

Quote
3D Dot Game Heroes is set in the Kingdom of Dotnia. This world was once made up of 2D sprite art like something out of an old school game. However, wanting to attract more people to the kingdom, the king decided to use technology to make everything 3D. This is where something goes horribly wrong, although just what that is has yet to be specified.


It has a very cool and unique style and I hope it will be released in America/Europe as well because it could be pretty cool!

Looks great and the story is ridiculous in a cool and interesting way. (well, what is noted in the OP anyway)

If they made a Gmae Maker in this style with a lego-like character and environment creation engine it would be so successful.

It kinda reminds me of Darwinia if any of you have played that  :D

It'll only be so long before this type of 3d is not only simple for any type of system to play it, but just as simple to create by just about anyone.

It'll be the next big wave in indie rpgmaking history. I'm predicting it right now.

Wow, looks like one of those lego animated movies.  I get the feeling this game looks very surreal in motion.  I'm also guessing there might be a way for players to customize levels and "sprites". 

The character styles, monsters, dungeons, and chickens lead me to believe this is an NES Zelda or Dragon Warrior parody in particular.
keep posting...

Right about now I am wishing I had a PS3 and wishing this game would be for PC at the exact same time. . .

Courtesy of NeoGAF, game looks, sounds even better in motion:

Actual gameplay starts up around 00:30s mark.

One much more apparent thing here is that it is very exactly Zelda

Which doesn't mean this isn't awesome

Or hilarious; Zelda on PS3..

Wow. Shouldn't they be copying Dragon Warrior or something, rather than Zelda?

Even the music is next to copied from Zelda ;x.

But yeah the few seconds of just actual walking around we saw looked cool. It looks like fluid lego.

Too bad they didn't make everything out of pixels, there was a shockwave when the dragon landed, and the menu/dialogue is very modern. Oh well.

A combination of Dragon Warrior and the original NES Zelda would make sense. Original Zelda was graphically on par with the NES DWs. Plus, they are both about heroes and stuff.

If they copied dragon warrior, there wouldn't be any point in the 3d graphics since everything would be turn based anyhow. Plus they couldn't make everything out of pixels. It would be too visually incomprehensible if the light particles and shadows were forced into quanta-sized pixel shapes. The shock wave is excessive though, the dragon would have made just as much an impact if he simply dented the pixels he landed on (probably make the fight interesting too if the hero tripped trying to go across the uneven terrain). Don't worry though, I'm sure the inconsistencies present play into the RPG plot somehow.

I still don't have a PS3 myself, but I'm glad that if/when I get one, I'll have more than one game I would be willing to buy for it.

*PERSONA 4 SPOILERS*

This game reminds me of mid-game boss in Persona 4 when you figth a 8-bit looking boss (Mitsuo the Hero) ,whom if you hit enough times reveals some messed up fetus inside....

Maybe Im hallucinating but both chracters looks similar.

Ill post vid
