Hot Heart Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) OK, so I've always been a big fan of TMNT. They've not had a stellar track record with games (and the old ones only really survive on nostalgia), but this looks pretty neat and will be on PC as well as consoles. Figured I might as well make a topic for it. It's your typical beat 'em up, so it's not going to set the world on fire or anything (and setting the world on fire is not a good thing. Ask Billy Joel), but I like how all the turtles will be present at the same time even in single-player, allowing you to switch between them. That should spice things up a bit, I think. Otherwise, co-op is always good fun. Funnily enough, they've made these character trailers...except they only show off one turtle at a time, which works for that purpose but risks obscuring what I think is a cool feature. Here's the video that first got me interested, showing off all turtles at once and talking a bit about the actual gameplay And here are the character trailers so far: Alternatively, here's Giant Bomb's page on the game. Which also includes some new images (mousers!) I'm actually quite fond of the look they've chosen for the turtles, as it hews close to the original comics, plus the art style itself is pretty cool and less cartoony than older games. The only thing I would change if I could, is the nostrils being so visible like they are, but it certainly doesn't put me off the game in any way, obviously. UPDATE: Release date is 28th August for PC and 360, and 24th September for PS3. Some very rough footage of the game, though it gives a decent idea of what to expect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PrPwb_nxNc (link because I think I've reached the embed limit) Edited September 9, 2013 by Deanb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Not a big TMNT fan personally but this looks like a fun brawler. Fighting reminds me of the Batman games, which is a good thing if it's anywhere near that good. Edited June 10, 2013 by FLD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm definitely down for this. I'm always down for a good Turtles game. Been a while since we got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I can't be the only one who thinks this looks generic. Does this have anything to do with the upcoming movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Nope. Apparently, it's tied into the Nickelodeon show story/setting-wise; they've just gone for a very different art style. It may look generic, but I haven't played a decent, new beat 'em up in a while and this could be the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 So, I randomly found out that this is actually a downloadable game and not a 60$ retail release? If so, my interest in this just skyrocketed. It looks good but not 60$ good. But around 15$? Yeah, I'll bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ha, yeah. Didn't you guys know? It's part of XBLA Summer of Arcade (though will be on PC at the same time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 95% of my information about this game has come from this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Then...whoops! At least I've got one or two other people interested in the game (enough for a Steam 4-pack mayhaps?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah, I'd only seen the gameplay videos from this thread and I just assumed it was a AAA release. So, if I'm getting this right: the 3D combat is a survival mode kinda deal and the actual meat of the game is a side-scrolling brawler in the style of the old arcade games? The trailers I've seen seemed to focus on the 3D side of it so that's why it didn't occur to me that this might be a smaller game. That last video you posted is the first I hear of the side-scrolling part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Nah, there's actually more to it. So, it seems like a fairly large game. There's the main story mode - comic book-style cutscenes and all - that features online co-op for up to four players (with AI controlling spare turtles) which you can see in this video (that I edited into the original post at a later date). Survival mode is that same 3D combat but in one arena. And the new thing, that even I wasn't aware of, is that side-scrolling arcade mode, which allows for local co-op in the tradition of the older TMNT games but with the same combat mechanics. It was just a focus because the guy was eager to show off this new thing. So, yeah, that's pretty cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Damn, that's awesome. The side-scrolling bit had me interested because I was a huge fan of the arcade game on NES, but if there's a full-blown story mode on top of that, then yeah, I'm gonna have to get this.

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I would prefer it if this were scientifically accurate ninja turtles. This is the part where we talk of turtle dicks! Half the length of a turtle ain't it sick! If you see a turtle's toothless grin! That's probably because his dick can touch its chin! SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE NINJA TURTLES! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Gamespot Developer Walkthrough Some cool things: - You can pick enemies up off the ground to beat on them some more rather than wait for them to get up (first time I've seen a beat 'em up do that). Alternatively, taunt and it keeps your combo going. - Attacks are automatically contextual i.e. killing mousers means low and stomping attacks, fighting robots means going for dismemberment, explosive robots means throwing them away from you - An option for stealth kills Not cool thing: - Seems the PC release date is the same as the PS3 one due to Summer of Arcade exclusivity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Voice-acting sounds a bit crap (and the old TMNT soundtrack music is an odd choice for the trailer), but the gameplay's where it's at.
