>>23949619I like the style but Westoid VAs are dogwater. Will there be a JP dub? They're writing their shit in Japanese too in the announcements so I hope so.
>>23949649The devs are western.
>>23949653I believe that they can fight against their nature.
>>23949655I'm calling it now: blacks, interracial couples and preachy narrative about fascism.
>>23949662>blackssure>interracial couplesI don't see the pro->preachy narrative about fascismaaaand I'm out
Sure does smell like /v/eddit here
>>23949619I really think there's a problem with the named side character mecha just looking like any other NPC enemy or ally. They need to be more distinct.
>>23949619Buy an ad.
>>23949619Slop. The mech designs are okay, and if the studio survives and keeps whittling away at the concept, their third game might be good. But nobody's going to bother with a game that looks like an amateur asset rip.>>23949662>I'm calling it now: blacks, interracial couples and preachy narrative about fascism.At least it won't depict Ancient Aryan race suicidism as cute and adorable.

>>23949667 ah, the italians are on /m/ now huh
>>23950021 (Me)I want to like it but it feels worse than the old demo somehow. Maybe I just don't have the patience for it at the moment. At least the Valkyrie at home is cool.>>23949999>But nobody's going to bother with a game that looks like an amateur asset rip.For the most part, I like how it looks. Better than yet another ultraphotorealistic gray brown sludge. More games should use cel shading.
>>23950037Cell shading isn't the problem. The issue is that their mech designs aren't sufficiently cartoony. Just compare the truck to the mech.The other problem is that they aren't sufficiently distinct to be their actual own thing either. They look like AC asset flips rather than Interwar period giant robots. Iron Harvest is an example of a game that did that right while Iron Valiant fails.
