- Es gibt eine frei begehbare Welt mit nahtlosen Übergängen zwischen Städten und anderen Gebieten.
- Man hat im Spiel viele Freiheiten. Die Welt ist wie einSandkasten, in dem man alles tun kann.
- Die Grafiken sind vollständig in 3D. Die Kameraperspektive ist von oben herab.
- Die Haupthandlung bietet über dreißig Stunden Spielzeit.
- Es wird viele Nebenmissionen geben.
- Es gibt kein Game Over. Wenn man stirbt verliert man stattdessen Gegenstände.
- Es gibt viel Blut und die grafische Präsentation ist düster. Man möchte allerdings nicht übertreiben.
- Man kann sich für die gute oder die böse Seite entscheiden.
- Nippon Ichi greift bei der Entwicklung nicht auf die Erfahrungen, die man mit der Disgaea-Serie und anderen Spiele gemacht hat, zurück.

Hatte den thread schon man erstellt wo ist den der alte hin?

Ähnlich wie in Z.H.P gibt es hier kein Game Over mann verliert nur alle seine Items ^^

 

[Veil]

Das ist für ein Nippon Ichi-Spiel ja ein technisches Meisterwerk...

Ich hab mich damals, als Nippon Ichi begann im Westen Spiele zu vertreiben, durch Diagaea 1 und La Pucelle gekämpft. Letzteres ist bis heute einer meiner liebsten PS2-Titel, aber bei Phantom Brave und Makai Kingdom musste ich relativ früh aussteigen. Die Titel sind zwar alles solide Vertreter des SRPG-Genres, aber für meinen Geschmack waren alle NI-Titel arg in die Länge gezogen. Sicher macht es einigen wenigen Leuten Spaß, die Handschuhe eines Charakters auf Level 200 zu bringen, aber letzten endes siegt doch meist die Einsicht, dass das Zeitverschwendung ist. Hoffen wir, dass es dem Titel hier etwas besser ergeht...

 

[Excildur]

Sieht auf jeden Fall schonma sehr interessant aus. Hauptstory über 30 Stunden? Wäre ja schön, ist schon ne Weile her, dass ein Spiel mich länger als 6 Stunden (ich rede von der Hauptstory und nicht von Nebenmissionen...) beschäftigt hat

Es gibt kein Game Over. Wenn man stirbt verliert man stattdessen Gegenstände.

hm... wenns sich dabei um eher unwichtige Sachen wie Heiltränke handelt kann ich damit leben, hoffe nur, dass es keine wichtigen Sachen wie seltene Ausrüstungsgegenstände oder der Gleichen ist... wäre dann nicht sehr schön, wenn man ma vergisst zu speichern und stirbt dann aus Versehen mal... Naja ich werds mal schön im Auge behalten^^

 

[ARTiLLERy]

Disgaea 4 steht ohnehin noch auf meiner must buy Liste und schon kündigt NIE das nächste Game am um dass ich wohl keinen Bogen machen kann.
Hört sich alles sehr interessant an und die Screens wirken auf mich ganz hübsch, vor allem aber sehr stimmig. Ich könnte schwören dass Charakter Design der Hexe in ähnlicher Form schon mal irgendwo gesehen zu haben...^^

New Nippon Ichi Action RPG With Witches And Fishing Coming In June

As seen in Dengeki PlayStation, The Witch and the Hundred Cavalryman is slated for release on June 28. The PlayStation 3 action RPG puts players in control of a cavalryman, one of a hundred actually, created by Metallica, the Witch from the Swamp. Nippon Ichi designed this game to give players plenty of freedom.



One choice you get to make is what weapons Hyakukihei carries on the field. The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen has ten types and you have five slots for equipment. If you put the same type of weapon in a slot you can change it’s attack. The game also has fishing and sugoroku (a Japanese board game) to play in a gambling house and multiple towns to visit. Players can also create a home in any one of the game’s towns.

The Witch And The Hundred Cavalrymen Has Bayonetta Style Dodges

Just like Bayonetta, you want to evade enemy attacks at the last possible second in The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen. A successful dodge can trigger the Mystical Dodge ability, which slows time and makes your character temporarily invincible.



If you’re more aggressive, you can set the dodge ability to Onimusha. This skill lets you dispatch an enemy with a single hit. Extra Chain, another dodge ability, makes it easier to chain attacks.



Your knight can eat enemies to recover stamina. When stamina runs out you’ll lose items you obtained so try to snack on monsters when you get a chance.



Dengeki PlayStation announced yesterday The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen is slated for release on June 28.

Wow! Sehr geil ich fand das schon in Bayonetta ziemlich awesome!!
Freu mich drauf
Ich bezweifle aber dass es hier sowas wie invinciblity frames gibt
warscheinlich eher ein auf visuelles getrimmtes ausweichen alla InFamous^^
schade^^

The Witch And The Hundred Cavalrymen Lets You Create Custom Combos

http://www.siliconera.com/2012/01/1...ombo-system-lets-you-chain-different-weapons/

Nippon Ichi’s next action RPG, The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen, stars a little knight named who can carry many different weapons. Players can equip swords, spears, axes, and magic torches in weapon slots to create a custom combo.

Lances can skewer multiple enemies in a straight line, but this weapon has limited horizontal range. The scythe has a wide radius of attack, but its slow. Axes are also a slow weapon with a wide attack. Magic torch is a unique weapon that’s slow, but deals magic damage as a bonus.

An example combo is stunning an enemy with a magic torch, then follow up with a powerful (but slow) axe strike, and end with a sword combo. The combo you create depends on the order of weapons. The main character also has a Bayonetta style dodge called Mystical Dodge that slows time and makes you invincible if you escape an attack at the last second. Extra chain is another ability that lets you strike another enemy right away if you can defeat an enemy with a single blow

Instead of dispatching enemies you want to weaken and then eat them. Eating enemies restores Giga Calories and you consume those whenever you’re off on your own away from the witch Metallica. Similar to a roguelike, you will lose all the items you collected if you run out of Giga Calories. So, eating is essential and if you’re full you can store enemies for a future snack with the catch command. If you run out of food and lose your items, head to a local (green) pond. Items can be recovered by playing a fishing mini-game.



In addition to Metallica, you’ll meet Lana Nia Luccinia, a fortune telling shepherd that gazes at the stars to see the future. Lana (who looks half-sheep) is a gentle character living in the highlands and dreams of being a witch. Visco the Inquisitor is determined to catch Metallica, especially after the Swamp Witch cursed her and partially changed her into a dog. She’s often called "Princess Dog" as a nickname. Wonder Kamamiru is a doll, but don’t be fooled by her cute looks. She killed her former owner by stabbing them in the forehead. Now she manages the Wonder Kammer, a collection room.

Nippon Ichi announced today sharply higher earnings forecasts for the current fiscal year.

The company's previous forecasts, announced in May of last year, called for sales of 2,288 million yen, operating income of 107 million yen and net income of 59 million yen. The new forecast issued today has sales down a bit to 2,246 million yen, but operating income up to 303 million yen and net income up to 203 million yen.

As reasons for the increased earnings, the company said that Disgaea 3 Return on PlayStation Vita is selling higher than expected. Additionally, Disgaea 4 on PS3 is selling well in North America and Europe. Download content for Disgaea 4 is also doing well.

The reason the expected sales figure is lower is because games like The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers on PS3 and the North American version of Disgaea 3 Return were delayed beyond the current fiscal year to improve quality and meet consumer expectations. The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers was originally announced for Spring release, but the game's final release date, announced in January, ended up being June 28.

The Witch And The Hundred Cavalrymen Delayed [Update]

Update:It’s official. Nippon Ichi announced The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen has been rescheduled for a release sometime in 2012.



Nippon Ichi’s next main title, The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen, may not make its June release window. The PS3 action RPG made by the Prinny team follows one knight (who can turn into a hundred cavalrymen) created by the Witch of the Swamp. He’s a blank slate with no concept or right and wrong, a trope Nippon Ichi used to make The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen an open ended game.



You can fight monsters for treasure or be a total jerk and terrorize NPCs… but you might have to wait until after June to do that. While Nippon Ichi set June 28 as the release date, two retailers just updated their product pages changing The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen’s release date to TBA.



The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen has not been announced for North America at this time.

The Witch and the Hundred Knights Marching Our Way Early Next Year

Nippon Ichi’s next major non-Disgaea game is The Witch and the Hundred Knights. While the game was supposed to release this June in Japan, NIS recently announced that it had been delayed to “sometime in 2012”. Regardless of when it comes out in Japan, North America and Europe will get to play it next year.



The Witch and the Hundred Knights is an action RPG developed by the Prinny team, and features a knight that can turn into a hundred others. This knight can be good or evil, and you’ll even be able to attack innocent NPCs if you so choose. Nippon Ichi call it an open-ended dark fantasy game.



The Witch and the Hundred Knights is slated for US/EU release in early 2013.

[crack-king]

Sieht schon nicht schlecht aus! Hätte sich imo aber gut auf der Vita gemacht!

 

[Greek God]

Kann gut sein dass da noch n Port für die Vita kommt was ich auch hoffe. Disgaea 1, 2 wurden auch alle noch für die psp portiert 3 kommt jetzt bald für Vita also könnte gut klappen. Sowieso ist bei diesen Spielen die Sleep funktion der psp/Vita ein Segen
Hätte ich die Wahl dann ganz klar für Vita

 

[Greek God]

T-G: Lastly, let’s talk about The Witch and the Hundred Knights, which except for Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero and its sequel, is Nippon Ichi’s first foray into action. What can gamers expect from The Witch?

Ryan: We are really excited for The Witch and the Hundred Knights! It is a completely new direction for Nippon Ichi Software, Inc./NISA as it is our first true Action-RPG on the PS3. Fans will definitely appreciate the art, as illustrations are done by Takehito Harada!

Story wise, you take the role of a knight employed by the questionable Swamp Witch to help her turn the tide in an ongoing war she has been fighting against the Forest Witch. In order to accomplish this goal, you will be able to employ 99 other knights to help defeat the army that awaits. Your character will have various weapons at your disposal (e.g. scythes, lances, swords). The 99 other knights can take various forms to help you during battle, and we’ll have more info on that coming soon! Areas will be a bit more wide-open compared to the Disgaea grid-style maps, and you will come across villages where you can loot and plunder, or help NPC’s – so it will have a bit of a good/evil decision aspect. Perspective-wise, it will have a bird’s-eye view to help you navigate the full 3D environments.

T-G: The screenshots releases so far are decidedly dark and undeniably ominous, which is also a departure for Nippon Ichi. Do these accurately foreshadow the tone of the game?

Ryan: The game itself is definitely a step in a darker direction. From the screenshots you’ll notice some blood, and the story too has a darker feel to it. Again, a totally new direction for us, so we are pretty excited to see the playable version later on in the year.


The Witch and the Hundred Knights
T-G: Before we go, let’s throw seriousness aside for a second. Tell me what NIS character most closely mirrors your personality.

Ryan: Hmm, this is a tough one. I’d have to say Overlord Zenon; he had me at the “Just like turkeys in the rain!” comment.

The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers resurfaces, Nippon Ichi talks release

Nippon Ichi is gearing up for its 20th anniversary celebrations, and will be launching several games to tie in with the festivities. One of them is hoped to be The Witch and Hundred Soldiers, a project that was due to release on PS3 in June. It silently disappeared off the map, but the publisher has spoken out about the delay.


Speaking in this week’s Famitsu, Nippon Ichi CEO Sohei Shinkawa revealed that the Prinny Team had little experience with 3D so The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers was delayed to allow more time for polish, but he assures fans that the game is moving along nicely.

Shinkawa hopes the game will launch along with the publisher’s 20th anniversary festivities.

Elsewhere Project Arcadia is still in development and Nippon Ichi’s third 20th anniversary game Project D is nearing an official title and announcement, teased Shinkawa.

Apparently feeling chatty, NIS also told Joystiq that PS3 RPG The Witch and the Hundred Knights will probably come to Europe; a US release has been confirmed but not dated, and European confirmation is expected when the US releas eis locked down.

The Witch and the Hundred Knights hitting Japan July 25

The Witch and the Hundred Knights will be released in Japan on July 25, according to the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation. Originally slated for an early 2013 release on PS3, the game is supposed to be heading west as well, so now that Japan has been given a firm release date, maybe we’ll get one soon as well. Thanks, Gematsu.
