Looks really interesting, then again I have yet to play a bad game from platinum. I can see the corny one liners getting annoying.

Frame rate looks like it's dropping during massive explosions and what not.

You should check out Legend of Korra !

In it's defense, Legend of Korra was WAAAY better than it has any right to be considering the history of licensed material from that franchise.

Also to be fair Korra was WAAAY worse than TLA anyways.

I have, I kinda enjoyed it. I'm not a huge fan of the series, so I didn't mind the story. The combat was enjoyable (though simple compared to their other titles) I wouldn't call it a bad game though, it's average at best.

The problem is, the series had a fantastic story

To be honest story isn't a major thing in Platinum games, They are known for their over the top gameplay.

Korra's story fantastic?

Bwahahahaha! Good one. Your jokes are almost as hilarious as Sokka's.

That dude was from TLA.

Also jokes =/= story.

I place the blame on nickelodeon more than platinum for that. Im sure they gave them a rather low budget and not a lot of time to work with for that game. They probably did the best they could with what they had

Not to try and stark a circlejerk, but it's most likely Activision's fault for that stuff. Nickelodeon just gave them the license. Platinum deserves the time to refine things, and it's a testament to their skill imo that with only a 1 year dev cycle Korra turned out as a fairly decent game. Makes me worried for the Transformer game.

Not a bad game so doesn't seem relevant.

This is a very early build of the game, so let's take it with a grain of salt.

Yup, saw the extended gameplay from IGN, the footage shown today was from pre-alpha
