That was a great unnecessary attack on dumpers, great fucking job. I was at least expecting a good Spiderman joke. I mean, Venom, Spiderman, you know...
I don't know if it'll be any good personally, it was good with Web of Shadows came out but when they started using the same engine over and over again it started to feel pretty stale. Every game was basically just a "beamup with X added". Only game I did think was different on that engine was Assassin's Creed II: Discovery. It won't be bad but it'll feel like more of the same.

Not sure I'd say it's entirely new, but there have definitely been quite a few tweaks and additions made. The same guy who worked on the combat mechanics for WoS worked on this one, so I'm sure we can expect a lot of similarities. As a matter of fact, the engine itself isn't built from the ground up from what I understand. They merely fine-tuned the one they already had. To me, that's awesome. I absolutely love WoS, so more of the same with some improvements is music to my ears.

Found a couple of cool (though short) videos of the game, by the way:

And like I said, it's easy to see they're using the same engine.
For all non-believers out there, check out this interview with Stan the Man Lee. Excelsior:

IMO it is one of the best 2.5D engines on DS. I think there is absolutely no reason to change it completely because there is not much room for improvement if they intend on staying in the same dimension... Even though I know they`ve used it quite a bit now.GeekyGuy said:
I played Daniel X a few weeks ago and even though I thought some things weren`t as good as in WoS it was a very fun Metroid-like game. I`m really looking forward to this game and I also hope that it gets dumped soon! This video gets me really excited, since the Speed-Booster was always one of my favorite abilities in Super Metroid and Zero Mission.
Even though I know Griptonite tends to make these Metroidvania games I think they polished it up quite well (from the official trailer it seems like they`ve updated the map, which I welcome!) and since Nintendo doesn`t seem to intend on making another 2D-Metroid game Castlevania and these Griptonite-games are the closest thing we`ll get similar to 2D-Metroid

Yeah, that'd be my guess, considering it's obviously not off-screen footage. The vids likely come from one of the dev team.
@Master Mo Yeah, I agree, man. I'm glad we're getting the same engine, along with the same folks from WoS to work on this game. I admit, though, to being disappointed by Daniel X, not because of the game itself, but because they used an awesome action engine to do recycled stuff. The nods to Metroid lacked style, I thought, and they had already just used the engine for Wolverine shortly before that. I just hate to see them wear folks out with mediocrity.

I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
