[Wii] Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces (Namco, Ace Combat Team)

Esta muito bom e tem gráficos espetaculares. Pelo que tenho visto durante este ano e daquilo que me parece que vai sair durante o inicio do proximo, cada vez mais tenho um feeling que a Wii vai começar a ser levada mais a serio pelas developers, se já não esta mesmo e cada vez vão sair mais jogos com qualidade.
 
Se a história não desempenha-se um papel tão importante o então fosse igual ao do filme já o tinha encomendado, mas assim vou ter de me contentar com um merd* de tradução
 
MAYDAY... MAYDAY:

Sky Crawlers getting an Australian release?

Oddly, Namco Bandai's Sky Crawlers has popped up on a number of Australian retailers. Atari is listed as the distributor, with a placeholder June release date and an RRP of $69.95 (38.5€). Developed by Namco's Ace Combat team, the game is based on an anime adaption of the Sky Crawlers novel series.

It received positive reviews in Japan, but sales were extremely poor upon its release. Like Fragile, it seemed like one of those games Namco Bandai would never bother bringing over. Time will tell!

Se a Australia tem... nós também, ninguém ia localizar um jogo "só" para a Australia (e mesmo que o fizessem... eles também são PAL) e... Querem ver que a Atari does what Namco of America doesn't? (primeiro os One Piece e agora isto? FRAGILE PLEASE)

Aleleuia, quanto ao fragile parece que as caixas de corrio da X-seed estão cheias de pedidos para uma localização
 
Pois, esqueci-me disse já que eu desde que esteja numa lingua que entenda não me importo de onde vem
A developer também não, desde que paguem e os compensem pelo usufruto do software.

O Fragile se for anunciado faço a pre-order na hora (que a XSEED precisa desse tipo de feedback para garantir stock e posicionamento nas lojas), e este se sair na Europa vem para cá... eventualmente.
 
Anunciado para a América:

Xseed Takes To The Skies With Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces

Xseed announced that they’re going to be publishing Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces in the U.S. this holiday season. Sky Crawlers originated as a series of novels, which were adapted into an anime movie directed by Mamoru Oshii. Innocent Aces takes place in the same universe as the movie but follows its own original storyline.

The basic premise is this: the game is set in an alternate reality where the world is at peace. Yet, humanity still craves the excitement of war and for this purpose, the government organizes large scale wars between large corporations for people to fight in, and for the media to cover. It’s a little Battle Royale-esque in its setting. Here’s a blurb from the press release about the story.

After decades of constant war and fighting, the world has finally come to a lasting peace. But with war being an integral part of their lives for so long, the citizens of the world are desperate for a solution to solve this newfound peaceful life of calm and tranquility.

To ease this tension and to appease its citizens, the government has started pursuing a new round of wars. These new campaigns are not a power struggle between hostile countries, but rather sponsored events between private corporations with military-trained personnel contracted by each side to do their biding for them. It is the battles fought by these war contracted corporations such as Rostock and Lautern and the constant media reports on them that satisfy and replace the basic human instinct to fight using the war as a show.

The latest rookie pilot to join the Sky Crawlers, codenamed “Lynx,” is working his way up the ranks and becomes involved in a secret new military project with the goal of making pilots immortal. Join Lynx on his journey to conquer the skies while unraveling the mystery behind the military’s covert new project.

Hurray! (mais um para a Rising Star? ;))
 
Entrevista:

The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is based on a series of Japanese tankobon and novels by Hiroshi Mori. Tell us about the storyline behind the game. Does the story translate well to the U.S. audience?

Xseed Games:
The story behind the game takes place in a world where world peace has become a reality. The player takes on the role of a pilot nicknamed "Lynx" who puts his life on the line for a war that is essentially just a show being put on to remind the world how fortunate it is for having no global conflict to worry about. One day, Lynx and his squadron have an unexpected run-in with "kildren," pilots rumored to be invincible. What they find is a surprising truth behind who they are and what they mean to the war.

The U.S. audience should have no problems relating to the story as the overarching themes of war, its necessity (or lack thereof), and the role of mankind in it are, we believe, universal. Most of us know or know of someone who was involved in a war, and while some may reminisce over the exhilaration of defeating enemies, most talk of the horrors of war. The game asks the question of whether war really is a "necessary evil" from a new perspective that should prove thought provoking for both the Japanese and US audiences.


Project Aces, best known for the Ace Combat titles, developed Sky Crawlers. What kind of flight game is this?

Xseed Games:
The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is a flight game that walks the line between a serious flight simulator and an arcade style shooter. The control scheme is easy enough for players to pick up and play but also deep enough to reward hardcore flight simulator fans with its unique controls and subtle nuances that will become apparent as the player puts more time into the game...


What are you keeping and changing translation-wise?

Xseed Games:
As mentioned above, since the story is quite universal, we have decided to stay as faithful to the Japanese as possible. Some expressions had to be localized to English equivalents, but other than that, not much was changed.


Will you keep the original voicework? What about new voice work?

Xseed Games:
While there will most definitely be English voice in the US release, the issue of keeping the original Japanese voice in is something we are still looking into. Many constraints have to be considered (e.g. disc space, rights, etc.), but we are trying our best to figure out a way to keep both if we can.


Have you worked with Project Aces to make any content or gameplay changes? If so, what?

Xseed Games:
The simple answer would be...no. The gameplay was excellent to begin with, so there really wasn't all that much to change. The controls are intuitive and the pacing is just right.


Finally, what do you want Wii owners to know about the title?

Xseed Games:
If you want an excellent flight simulator title with a deep and involving story, this is the game for you. The title maintains the balance between great story-telling and gameplay, keeping every mission fresh, fun and challenging. Casual or hardcore, this game has something for everyone.

Jun Iwasaki, president of Xseed Games: I'm extremely pleased to be able to confirm The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces for gamers in North America, the innovative control scheme and gorgeous visuals just go to show what a top-notch development team can do when creating a new game from scratch specifically for Wii.
