This is certainly consistent with the Tekken level of quality we expect from non-Ridge Racer Namco games.
22 seconds is all I could take of that video. I swear I tried for more but my brain started growing spikes inside my skull in an "anything to make the pain stop" gesture.
The game trailer on IGN didn't exactly thrill either, but at least it looks like a harmless, if terrible kids game.

General Petreus must be pleased.
Looks like there could be some neat ideas in there, but those character designs are killing any desire I might have to even try this.
Namco is completely irrelevant.
It's for wee babies.
Every once in a while Namco does a Pac-Man CE thing, and they become relevant for a short period until releasing 12 new Tales games. Someday I'd love to see them do a CE-style Bosconian, but I'm not holding my breath.

If this sells enough to its target audience, you'll probably see more CE games. It's how this works.
Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures CE
crown the grandmaster of this junk
Pac is back!
Hey guys. Skylanders made a lot of money. Namco wants some of it.
You know what game is pretty good?
Tekken.
My problem with Tekken in the early days was that it just felt like a Sega knockoff, like Time Crisis vs Virtua Cop. Virtua Cop's still better. Daytona vs Ridge Racer, too.
I only watched a couple minutes of it. i learned that smoking is bad, but if you're surrounded by smoke all you have to do is inhale deeply and it'll clear right up.
This thing is awful even compared to the terrible old Pac-Man cartoon. This is like Saturday Supercade bad...
I want Pac-Man 3, the New Adventures of Pac-Man 2
Tales of Pac-Man Tag Tournament

Number Muncher needs a reboot.
My brain was built for Number Munchers.
Reminds me of the Pac-Man World games on the PS2 only it looks...I guess a little better. Meh.
Pakirby. Bleh.
Finch's Swapnotes have taught me to fear Kirby's wrath. Namco apparently is not so lucky.
One thing I did like about PM2 was making Pac-Man really fucking pissed. Just continually hitting him with the slingshot is a quick and easy way, but there are others that are more amusing. Jack the mailbox, watch him close it, repeat a few times until he loses it. LOL :devil:Quote:

Pac-Man better not be late on his air bill payment.
Namco and the WWE really do belong together.
I was PISSED when Namco didn't buy the WWE license from THQ in the bankruptcy.
I should really have Kuma face Mark Henry in Fire Pro Returns. Given that Namco actually published TNA's mobile/tablet game, I wouldn't be too shocked if they got the license for console stuff soon.
Namco is still not irrelevant, but where the hell is a new Time Crisis? Before this series is retired, they need to hit up Nextech for another one and show Wild Dog going down for good. Get Takeshi Miura to crank out another soundtrack, right down to some epic final boss BGM rivalling the Final Battle theme in TC4. German choir + cathedral bell = WIN. The choir gets an encore for the new credit roll theme on PS3 TC4- good stuff. Take the level of object destruction in Razing Storm and double it. I don't care if it's on System 468 (Likely name for PS4 hardware IMO) or Taito Type X3. TC5 has just gotta happen.Quote:

I doubt that it'll be like this, if they want it to go for $60-70. Who knows. Right now, this series is on thin ice in my book and needs a miracle.
Even if you're insane and don't like Tekken, you've got to like either Ni No Kuni or Dark Souls, right?
Project X Zone looks awesome too.
I like their Noir arcade stick layout, although even that is borrowed from Sega.
lol So you're giving Namco credit for Level 5 and From Software's games now?Quote:

I guess when the bar is that low, some amount of success is inevitable.
