Dragon’s Crown still looking ridic

Yes, the figures here are grotesque, seemingly designed by the Japanese Robert Crumb, we’ve already talked about that ad nauseam.

What we haven’t discussed is the dancing wizard mouse, the giant Diablo, and this PS Vita game being totally my shit right here. Okay, we might have mentioned that last bit maybe, but I think we’ve reached the point where that topic is more interesting than the usual Boobiewitch comments.

Dragon’s Crown screens are blowing my mind

The last few minutes have just been a stream of semi-angry IMs to Eric about how crazy great these screens look.

  • “this art my god”
  • “how is this a screenshot”
  • “THIS GAME”

This game looks better every time I see it.

Dragon’s Crown trailer

Creepy Renaissance-esque dudes! Incredibly intricate shading! Also some butts! Dragon’s Crown looks like the absolute business. I’m so glad to see Vanillaware drift all the way into arcade-style stuff.

This comes out July 25 in Japan, and I’m seriously considering importing. Don’t need much language skill to hit stuff with a sword.

Why you shouldn’t dump your PS Vita

As worrisome as PS Vita’s future looks at the moment, now’s not the time to throw your system in the bin (in fact, never is the time when you should leave your handheld in the trash). There’s still Dragon’s Crown to think about, after all! Don’t these screenshots look amazing, like a modern day version of the old Dungeons & Dragons arcade games?

And here’s the new Dragon’s Crown trailer from the Vita Heaven event again in case you missed it this morning. There’s no released date for the PS Vita and PlayStation 3 game yet, though. :o/
