Rise of the Argonauts screenshots and trailer revealed

by John Bardinelli { Jun 28th 2007 at 2:57PM }

First announced back in April, Codemasters has finally released screenshots from the upcoming "epic scale action-RPG" Rise of the Argonauts. We have to admit, it's looking pretty epic so far. Few game details have been released, though Codemasters hints that "earning a god's favour will grant players powers ... but drawing a god's wrath may cause them to inflict a torment on the heroes at the worst possible moment". Argonauts will be released on Games for Windows and "major console platforms" sometime next year. Check out the trailer after the jump.

do you get to fight with kratos as well?

Is the first image in real time?

Well, another $60 to spend on my 360...

By the way, heres a question? If you have a 360 and a PS3... and theres a multiplatform game... which version would you pick, the PS3 version or 360?

I thnk that the 360 will be a better choice, with the achivements and a better online integration, but its my opinion. Just want to know what other people thinks.

Multi Platform games buying order:

Currently the 360 is first choice, but when Sony gets Home and acheivements and 3d trophies for those achievements to place in your home / wear on your avatars shirt or whatever then PS3 will be the first choice.

Wii isn't even considered on multiplatform games.

graphics look crap but I guess it's far from finished

"By the way, heres a question? If you have a 360 and a PS3... and theres a multiplatform game... which version would you pick, the PS3 version or 360?"

This decision is made tough for me since the 360 to PS3 ports are craptastic.

But if they were equal I would go with the PS3 versions for all of them since theres very little chance of my PS3 eating the $60 disc or blowing up right after I bought the game. Ideally I'd like to just use my 360 for exclusives.

Gamerscore doesn't really matter to me, I like the idea of trophy rooms better. I do miss rumble though.

I didn't think the graphics were that bad, but could certainly use improvement. I have little doubt that this game won't be polished up significantly before release.

More importantly, the style of the game is fantastic. I like the character designs, as well as those of the environments.

Games like this, as well as Mass Effect, look like they might breathe life into the RPG Genre (no disrespect to Mistwalker, but your shit looks boring).

White Knight also looks fresh as fuck.
