With the announcement for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows dropping a short while back, complete with a teaser trailer, it’s time to get people’s interest level up. What better strategy to do this than releasing some actual in-game footage of what consumers can expect? In a worldwide where vociferous gamers will use any platform essential to voice their opinions, such pre-release content will make or break a game. With regards to the imminent Ninja Turtles game, while the backstage trailer, one who features rapper/producer Just Blaze discussing his contributions to the sport-a song-and his love for the franchise, while footage of the sport runs within the background.
This is all fine and good if you’re looking to attract the fashionable crowd, but developers appear to forget that the TMNT series dates back to the early 80s, and its first rendition was a black and white comic that featured more adult-themed adventures of our favourite bipedal reptiles.
Of course, that was long, way back, and the child-friendly transformation of the Turtles is the version most are knowledgeable about. While footage from the approaching Out of the Shadows doesn’t completely get rid of the family-friendliness, it does suggest something of a mature option to the band of ninjas. The sport should be presented inside the third-person brawler format, which still has the God of War series as its high water mark. The recent Ninja Turtles game doesn’t seem to have anything that violent in it, however the fighting does look less like a cartoon and more gritty, to make use of a term made favored by Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
The Teen rating helps support this lean towards a more mature TMNT crew.
The backstage footage is the latest content to hit the tubes, however, last week, individual character trailers for every of the four-Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael-launched and that they give an improved examine what fans can expect. First up, the Just Blaze video. I can’t but wonder whether this “true fan” has seen the unique TMNT comics:
To me, the nature trailers give us a more robust idea of where the sport is headed, starting with Leonardo:
Donatello:
Raphael:
And Michelangelo:
The character trailers has been showing up since April, with Michelangelo’s being the primary to launch. As for the sport itself, it is going to be at the shelves on August 28th.
