Majin and the Forsaken Trailer

by JC Fletcher on Mar 19th 2010 1:30AM

He's huge, he's covered in foliage -- he's Majin, and in this latest trailer for Maijn and the Forsaken Kingdom, we get to see him and his friend some guy fighting the evil forces that have made the kingdom so forsaken. Majin may be cuddly, but he won't hesitate to straight up drop a wall on some monsters. He will emit lightning, should the situation require it. In addition, we see that even without his BFF Majin around, the kid can do some platforming and acrobatic fighting on his own.

Majin is currently scheduled to arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360 this summer.

ehnn.... doesn't seem fantastic at all to me

what the hell? you are stalking my post from ages ago to see what i am saying? and you pick my very first post? whats wrong with you? and as to that post..

yes the WARHAWK home space was late. when it came out warhawk had been out for ages and a homespace was not going to pull more people into home or more people into warhawk. it definitely was a waste.

now stop being a stalker you stalker.

Yes, but the f*ck does that?

I don't feel safe with this guy (Teabag) online... none of us should. bluesky call the ghostbusters cause this guy is spooky.

Eh, since Majin is releasing before The Last Guardian, it's a pretty weak argument to say say the former is ripping off the latter, and I don't think Team ICO is the kind of studio that would go somewhere else for their ideas, so... pretty much just a coincidence. Unless the team behind Majin rushed the hell out of the title, which would be kind of pointless since there's not really a crowded gaming genre of "little kids hanging out with enormously destructive friendly monsters", so you might as well do it right.

Just sayin'.

they look like fairly different games too. this one seems really heavy on the action. last guardian looks more like a stealth/puzzle.

It looks kinda like what would happen if a Tales game married a Team ICO game in unholy matrimony.

Majin Buu? Oh.. Nevermind.. Awkward...

Majin Vegeta.

Yes.

I love the art style. Its really awesome. The bloom effects on the hero's cape and the Majin's plants were pretty awesome as well. The environments dont look all that great though. The trailer is interesting enough and I hope this turns out to be good because all that Team Ico esque fantasy stuff is right up my alley.

That screenshot looks like Fable.

Def going to keep my eye on this one. Looks promising. Combo of ICO/Prince of Persia/Kameo etc... all in one.

Majin Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Seriously though, they should change his name. His name is taken already. It's like calling him Luigi

Dude, "majin" is a word in Japanese. It roughly translates as "evil god" or "demon." Well, maybe not necessarily evil, since the "ma" just means "magic," but it usually has an evil connotation.

the trailer said "begins this very hour".. wheres my game?! but it does look nice...

The architecture is really the only thing that feels sort of lifted from Ico/SOTC/TLG for me. The beast is completely different, the gameplay is completely different, and other than the few Ico-esque buildings, it doesn't really remind me of TLG at all.

I'm hoping this game will be great, but as always with new franchises, it's a wait and see.

Did anybody else notice that the trailer says fall 2010 at the end?

Also, looks really nice, although I have never played any of the games people are comparing it to. I like the fern-haired beastey.

would to play.....!!

Looks good - judging by your post history you're 12.

I wish I could down-vote you to death.

Just because you like Tales, does not mean the rest of NA does. Namco doesn't like bankruptcy, that is why they aren't releasing those games here.....THEY DON'T SELL WELL IN NORTH AMERICA.

Where have you been living the last 15 years? The West does not buy the hell out of linear, JRPGs. We like our shooters and our sandbox games.

This looks pretty good (no tough looking 30 something white dude with a gun, and theres colour). I really hope there's NPC filled towns and a living world to interact with and not all just Zelda like dungeons though.
