Eagerly awaiting this game. I love the Dark Crystal, and anything that expands the universe is great.
To be honest, this is not what I (personally) would want from a Dark Crystal game. I mean when I think of the movie the last genre of games I think that it'd be a good fit for is a turn based tactical strategy game.
I'd have been much more interested if it was an adventure or rpg style game that was more focused on the narrative and characters/dialogue with an actual storyline and adventure to go on.

i think an RPG, even a top-down one would have been great. my guess is the genre choice came as a result of the budget. it's a genre where you can get away with a lot when it comes to details and animation for the characters.
I like sRPGs, I like Dark Crystal, I'm super excited for the new show... This sounds like a winning combination for me. For some reason the first footage didn't grab me but I thought this map looked fantastic so maybe I need to go check it out again!

lol same, i just saw it in the youtube description for the video that it's coming to all platforms, thought i should mention it in the title cuz others probably think it's a switch game too.

is it a premium priced game? that would explain the lack of a mobile version. that'll take a year or two to come out.
The confusion started because it was announced at a Nintendo direct.
I made the E3 thread.
For this reason I decided not to update it when I saw this video yesterday.

Gotta agree with this. The things I remember mostly about the movie were gorgeous sets and puppets (obviously), but also characterisation, rich lore, a fantasy storyline driven by people and their personal choices...not things that immediately lend themselves to this style of game. I hope it works out for them though - if it's successful, it might lead to a game more along rpg-adventure lines.
I think that type of game would have probably required a much larger budget than Netflix were willing to invest. This is still a very niche property.
Visuals look amazing for SRPG, but the artstyle is killing my interest.
The characters lack... character. They all look like some random NPC with different colors, not distinguished at all.

That happens a lot when a game gets announced on a Nintendo Direct.
I am so perplexed by the direction for this, and I worry that Netflix is overinvesting in a very niche property. I love Dark Crystal to pieces but I would have much preferred a small scale adventure game/platformer which fits with the vibe of the original movie if they wanted to invest in a game.
I think Dark Crystal is not going to make anywhere near as big of a splash as they think because Dark Crystal is WEIRD. It never really caught the mainstream market in its original release, and I don't get why Netflix thinks it will now.

Because it's considered a cult classic and 80s are big now(Stranger Things).
is there going to be an OT for the show?
i'm hoping it releases at midnight EST but 3 AM seems more likely.
