Gaming Advanced Wars DS 2!!!!

think they will ever make fire emblem ds?

Yes they will it has already been announced.

On Topic (like it should be): I think it's depressing now that it lost its artistic difference.

I like the idea of units leveling up but I'm willing to bet this is going to end up like Fire Emblem where I'll just keep using the strongest units first. Nonetheless, I'm not too sad that the style has taken a turn for the darker considering the fact that I thought the Advance Wars games were generally a bit too jolly for the subject.

Actually, looking at the screens for AWDS2, like someone said earlier...all the fuss for this ? They said they are going to make a more realistic art direction, but it doesn't look radically changed at all

Anyone else think the current art style is bad?

Thank God that they changed it. The older ones are a joke when it comes to art style.
wrong.

+1

Advance Wars had great art and it's sad to see it go. I can only assume it was to appeal to the XBox generation.

It depresses me that developers seem to think that realism is the way to go. Personally I enjoy games way more when it feels like I'm controlling a cartoon. Viewtiful Joe/Loco Roco spring to mind and I'd say the experience is enhanced by quirky graphics.

Don't forget: the intro to AWS was fucking spectacular (aka it should of been longer and more amazing). Now what we'll see is how crappy 3d graphics on the ds compared to glorious pixel art (refering to the battle scenes which I disable).

Oh yeah, now we'll probably see pre-rendered cut-scenes instead of cinematic ones and intros.

summary: I don't like the realistic make-over (rather very unrealistic with it's jagged edges of 3d-unawesomeness).

Well we've seen some video of the game, and it look more handrawned than Pixel Art (beside the battlefield.)

I'm rather excited about the new Advance Wars. The screens look pretty gorgeous IMO. Definitely an improvement over the GBA versions.

Yea im liking the new style, but i just wanted to know what happen to the other characters, like did they die or something? O Wifi FTW and Friends Code FTL!

I like the new look. It seems advanced wars is entering its own 'red alert' phase.

Battle animations suck!

Why didn't they call it "Red Alert DS" then? And leave the Advance Wars series cute and cuddly

Okay, so the game will still rock, because gameplay is more important than graphics, but teh ugly is still gonna bug me.

Battle animations suck!

Yeah, they really suck really hard! But the rest looks good. If they change the animations this is a must-have!
