The trailer for the 3-hour demo of 13 Sentinels that will be released on March 14, 2019 through various bundles and digitally.

The full game might not be 2019 after all, but I guess they wouldn't be promoting its date anyways with a demo incoming.

still no gameplay in this trailer... we only saw like two second of it a long time ago... are they not confident in their product anymore? this is sad...

I was so hyped back then but now i just don't care! Hopefully it's good in the end...

This feels like a cash grab, barely showing anything but what you can preorderšŸ˜‚

Still intrigued though.

Everything is pointing to it being an adventure game, so technically, everything we saw there was gameplay.

that would be quite disappointing coming from vanillaware... their story was never the thing i liked in their game... so one that focus only on that, not sure if i'll like it..

and what would take so long if it was just that? Maybe theere's sick 2D mecha battle animation that would take longer to do than a full gameplay system? I doubt that, wonder what happened during developpment

I still have no idea how this game plays.

Like I said in the last thread, you are looking at how the game plays. That targeting minigame or whatever it is, is not the "real" gameplay that is being hidden away. This is an adventure game. You walk around and talk to people, make dialogue choices, etc, and mostly watch story scenes unfold. Think sidescrolling David Cage game, except 2D animated.

I was so excited for this when it was announced but now I have about as much interest in it as they are in showing us actual gameplay. I really figured all the remasters were released to help keep them afloat/fund this game and I'm at a loss now.

The whole premise of the game looks so promising and I don't mind the adventure/VN gameplay mechanic at all.

Music and art is also gorgeous tho that's not surprising coming from Valliaware.

March can't come soon enough.

Still, gotta admit, regardless of how the game plays, they've showed remarkably little of it. It's Vanillaware, they probably have some real eye-catching backgrounds and flashy sequences they could be showing off, which the game probably has. But there hasn't been much of note outside of the zoom out of the two characters looking at the big mech, and the naked teenagers piloting their sentinels.

Music sounds great.

Development must be amazingly troubled.

I mean, they're being forced to sell a 3 hour intro demo to an adventure game when the game itself still has no new date - not even a release window. There is probably far less of the game in a completed state than Atlus would like.

The emphasis seems to be heavily on capturing the "human" perspective on the ground as this larger war is happening, and seeing how it affects individuals and the common people from the various perspectives of the pilots when they're not in their mechs. And 13 different character scenarios is a lot to build for an ambitious adventure title. Having to hand animate all those story scenes in HD sprites might be more than Vanillaware expected when they started lol.
