Gaming Scribblenauts Hype and News Thread

[stinkoman]

How were the games leaked? Through an actual cartridge, or as a .nds file on a PC?

Cartridge form from a review site as a contest. You had to solve a simple puzzle. 5 words only. British version, so some verbose will show up

BTW: Feep is a word... wtf?

Three new puzzle vids up on IGN. I just closed the tab and I'm too lazy to find it again. I'm sure that you guys can find it.

But yeah.

If I remember right, Feep is a poster on Neogaf who posted a hugely positive preview about the game. The designer of the game liked it, so stuck references to Feep and his post in the game.

I really want to go and buy scribblenauts now

whoops, lagged out and doubleposted. Sorry about that xD

I get the feeling that there's no way in hell that this is going to get dumped early, though god knows I wish it would with all my heart.

Any news on a review copy dump?

Yeah, plus the designer had mentioned something about certain things had a cooldown, so perhaps there will be a cheat to bypass that.

It's a shame that some folks on the fringes of the gaming media are focusing so heavily on trying to find a chink in the game's armor. It's a great concept, looks like a fun game -- that really is all that folks should concern themselves with until it's been accurately and fully reviewed. Of course, the mainstream-gaming media isn't helping by over-hyping the hell out of the game. I fear that by the time it releases, people will be fatigued of hearing about it and lose interest. Personally, I've stopped watching videos of the game so that I don't get overexposed to it.

Yep, see for yourself here (post #217). NeoGAF, Feep, and Post 217 are all in the game, funnily enough.

 

[Fabis94]

And how do they look like? Object called NeoGAF lol, what is that?

 

[jaxxster]

Dunno if its already been posted but release date is Sept 15th

As per the whole "leaked" thing, I doubt you'll see a dump of it until the release date. Odds are it was released through a cartridge, and I doubt out of all the people who dump games, those 2 guys will know how or be able to.

On another note, I think the game might end up being overhyped. People are WAY too overexcited about the innovation than the actual gameplay. For all you may know it could just end up being an innovative but mediocore platformer/puzzler.

Feep: From 0:26 in this video, clearest around 0:36-0:40
NeoGAF is basically the logo for the NeoGAF Forums (spawns a gamer, can also be ridden I think), though I can't recall what comes up for Post 217.

I think even if this does happen, it won't be that big of a deal. Personally, I expect to spend hours just summoning stuff and seeing what happens, not so much focusing on what I'm supposed to be doing.

That's what most people are excited for, anyways.

I don't know if it's been posted yet, but here's some more footage:


Wow, they even have a roflcopter!

 

[Fabis94]

Roflcopter doesn't look like a Roflcopter at all :/
Roflcopter is supposed to made in Ascii.
