well i was wondering if it was sarcastic cause of the rumors of if they were asking about the odds of something layton related
well they did say all ready announced games and projects from outside developer and publishing partners so we may get some level-5 stuff
That would be nice, if Level-5's not doing anymore vision conferences then hopefully they will at least get more involved with Nintendo's Direct showcases, at least it would help get their stuff more on the map I suppose...
No worries, I kinda just woke up as well and didn't notice properly what the Direct was actually about.
Good questions, not sure what they would do with London Life, wasn't that game developed by Brownie Brown/1-Up Studio? I don't know wether or not Level-5 will be needing to get Nintendo's permission to port that game over to Android/IOS devices, it might need some controller updates too since it was full button control if I recall.
I'd play PLvsAA for sure
i dont think itd blend in so well
I mean, it's one of the games more transparently using the Layton style... But, yes, it's more standoutish due to the rhythm minigames instead of puzzles.
the layton style was pretty clear but the games werent great, too bad really
Meanwhile, everyone forgot that Lautrec existed, and he grumbles over it.
I think both series have borrowed some elements from each other as time went on, Spirit of Justice did have a puzzle or two to solve, with Apollo even proclaiming "Every puzzle has an answer!" and I think the Shu Takumi AA games did take some elements from the crossover for his games as well.
Oh don't worry about him, the Layton fandom still makes sure to remind you of his existence to this day, likewise with May's Mysteries...
Whoops haha. I know the game exists, but I don't know how it plays honestly. Is it purely a Layton-alike, or does it do its own thing?
Oh, yes, they totally borrowed from one another quite a lot. I imagine Mystery Journey's more overt pun names are also based on the AA writing style (Seymour Frames is especially fantastic).
Pretty much that, but also includes some action-adventure game elements.
whats that?
I don't know, I guess closest thing would probably be Layton Brothers if Level-5 where to ever expand on that game, perhaps a game where Alfendi and Katrielle investigate a case together, they'd probably be able to do a murder mystery with puzzle and investigation elements together I think...
That one game that shamelessly ripped off the Layton series, especially Curious Village
wow that is really shameless. still if they can away with that theres hope for my layton esc story yet
Yo instead of Luke they got Lukatello, totally different!
really?
That would be interesting! I guess the anime does imply we're getting a Layton family game one day...
I know they're trying to recreate the Layton artstyle, but the beady eyes here just unnerve me and make me think of Coraline. Be careful what you wish for?
I love how they even went down to copying the box art style and regional titles for both the European and US regions.
geez, after a certain point they werent even trying to be original
I don't think they where, its a common thing in movies especially where you have these companies who try to cash in on whatever is popular at the time in order to make a quick buck.
none of those games did well did they? gamers are quick to dismiss things they see as rip offs, probably why yo-watch didnt do as well in the west, people perceived it as coping pokemon
Ehh I'll blame that one more onto news outlets and hyping the game up to be this "Pokemon Killer" which was probably what did the franchise in despite Nintendo's best efforts to promote it in the west and Level-5 never intending for it to compete with Pokemon in the first place...
yep. yo-watch was always its own thing, just didn’t have layton’s luck I guess
Pokémon was seen as running out of steam quality-wise at the time, so I somewhat understood the reasoning.Ehh I'll blame that one more onto news outlets and hyping the game up to be this "Pokemon Killer" which was probably what did the franchise in despite Nintendo's best efforts to promote it in the west and Level-5 never intending for it to compete with Pokemon in the first place...
Like, never hype up a franchise to be a "insert highly beloved franchise killer" you're basically dooming it before it can even start...
not a fan of gen 7 i take it
Yeah the game did have a surprising amount of love put into it, if I recall, there was a lot of voice acting work put into the game, the puzzles where mostly variations of a few types if I recall, but you spend most of the time fighting spirit monsters within these urns and sneaking past goons within mazes and all.
Fans where getting a bit sour with Pokemon since gen 6 really, especially when Masuda made that one comment on kids not having the attention span for larger games anymore and always being on phones or something along those lines that made them cut the Battle Frontier from ORAS and all, although it wasn't as apparent until Sword and Shield, which was probably more the straw that finally broke the camel's back with a number of fans...
the pokemon fandom has been showing its nastier side recently, although from what i can remember peoples problems with gen 7 was the lack of gyms (mine was the one character) and with gen 8 a lot of them seemed to feel a lot better when they got the actual games, although people still had their complaints but for the most part they seem to calm down with all the really bitter and nasty people sticking to twitter
