[Games of Today]

Don't get me wrong, it's giving me some PS3/PS4-ish graphical vibes but I initially thought that this game was going to be some sort of 2.5D side scroller.

So seeing that it's gong to in fact be a third person action-adventure platformer has gotten me very excited especially because the character design is nearly identical to the Spielberg animated movie.

Looks surprisingly high quality for Microids, hopefully it turns out good.

Same! It'll give me something for my Uncharted fix hopefully haha.

 

[Husky]

Aw shit they're making a Tintin game? That's sick. I wanna see more gameplay.
You're right about its looks, looks like a PS3-era game with some PS4-era lighting effects. I wonder if we'll finally get our goddamned sequel movie after this

 

[Elder Legend]

Someone fill me in on what they've made in the past? Never heard of this dev.

 

[Spukc]

Kuifje

 

[Robbinhood]

I’m in

 

[stranno]

They will probably take the Gameloft game from 2012 and build some fancy tech on top.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

I'm definitely on board. I love Tintin and Cigars of the Pharoah was one of my favorites to read as a kid.


I hope it's good

Microids is a small French publisher/developer that has been around since the mid 1980ies. Their best known games are the Syberia series and XII.

 

[Raven77]

Excited for this. Love the movie.

Such a sad way to view the world.

Just LOOK.

Hey man I'm puzzled. I don't know if there's a joke I'm missing, or if you inferred that the graphics are what I care most about

I like the Spielberg animated movie

 

[MrA]

When do they let me punch communist guerrillas and shoot all of the antelope, anyway in.

 

[Kusarigama]

I like Tintin and I am cautiously excited for this

I am not going to clarify. I would prefer if the ambiguity bothered you.

 

[RavageX]

This looks pretty good to me, I'm really only familiar with the cartoon growing up. I did watch the movie and liked it. I personally feel the graphics fit just right.

 

[Husky]

Such a sad way to engage with the world.

 

[Virex]

I'm surprised that people outside Europe(exception being Japan) even know who or what Tintin is. Looking forward to to this. I like and collect anything Tintin that I can

 

[Ar¢tos]

Tintin in English is horrible.
He looks younger, but the rest of the characters look the right age, weird.

Wait... you're serious?!

I'll spell it out plain and simple for you then:

They said you are really fucking boring and closed-minded for caring so much about graphics and not whether the game will be fun.

 

[Skifi28]

Tintin looks almost unrecognizable, but other than that it looks quite interesting. Definitely didn't expect a modern Tintin game at any point.

Looks fine to me. In this silly modern world we live in, we should be grateful all they seem to have done is make him a bit more ginge and given him a British accent. Neither I'd consider issues at all; the former doesn't matter at all and the latter certainly broadens the appeal.

Thanks Tams , that is close. Fun is the most important, but I was referring more to this philistinism of only being able to see tech specs and blind to everything else.

I think we agree, lol.

Especially since the PS3/360/WiiU era, graphics have become less important. Sure, they can still have a big impact, but they are for the most part good enough at that level. Aesthetic choice, gameplay, script, and world-building all become more important - which all adds up to fun, imho.

Pendulo Studios primarily make point and click adventures, their most famous being the Runaway trilogy. They followed the trilogy up with two other games, The Next Big Thing and Yesterday.

You can check out their games pretty cheap on both Steam and GOG .

 

[existensmaximum]

I'd be a lot more excited if he didn't look like he's 12 years old. Original Tintin design or nothing for me.

 

[stn]

Yup! Which reminds me that I need to purchase the first game from last gen.

The text of my comment makes it very obvious that I don't. You don't have to go out of your way to invent reasons to get pissy.

 

[Lupin3]

He looks like a kid. Other than that, I'm always in for more Tintin.

 

[yet_another_alt]

How old is Tintin supposed to be anyway? I always assumed he was somewhere around 15-16.
