From Software's upcoming PS3 exclusive game 3D Dot Game Heroes has generated quite a lot of buzz lately because of its unique look and feel. The game, developed by Silicon Studio in Japan is an action RPG set in a medieval world. But when the kingdom got threatened, the king suddenly decides to make everything in 3D in order to attract more people.



3D Dot Game Heroes will be out on November in Japan. No words on the US release date yet.

Nostalgia!

Dragon Quest IV, or when I played it was Dragon Warrior IV and this screams out Nostalgia to me. Amazing look and feel and a complete ode to classic JRPGs. I for one cannot wait and I am shocked I'm the first to comment again. Well, maybe I should be writing or helping qj.net with their RPG sections or something lol! Can't wait for this game!

....

not only does it look like Zelda, even the music is nearly the same. Just listen to it and you should hear the zelda theme!

Lol

Actually looks fun. 3D Pixel Heroes sounds better than 3D Dot Heroes though. Reminds me a lot of Zelda, should have been on Wii but in its current slump it would have just been over looked and forgotten.

Sword of Fargoal anybody?

Looks like a 3d version of the old Vic20 game Sword of Fargoal. But then again probably nobody remembers that game.

Zelda meets DQ/FF NES

Yeah, the music is so close to Zelda as far as the style goes. The gameplay looks nearly identical to zelda, I mean did you see the boomerang and the bats? But then you got the characters almost straight from DQ/FF on NES. Very cool game, even if it is almost a ripoff of other games, they should've done it first. The desire to see Zelda/Megaman NES games remade into 3-D 8-bit style has been here for a while, but no one has acted on it. Oh well, you snooze you lose, but I'm sure of Nintendo or Capcom decided to do this, people would still buy it.
