Quote:The small development team behind fan game Chrono Trigger: Resurrection has posted some very disappointing news: they have received a Cease and Desist letter from Square Enix demanding they stop making their game. It seems after years of looking the other way, Square Enix has changed its policy on independently-created games honoring their own.
Perhaps it was the quality of the project that triggered this unprecedented response so far into development. Chrono Trigger Resurrection sports professional quality artwork that has further improved since its last showing. Here are a few samples of what you will now never be able to play:
The Chrono Trigger Resurrection site also has a trailer, which is currently down.
It truly is a shame the lawyers have interfered with something so promising. The team is not swayed, though, and is already planning something “new and fresh.” Our sympathies go out to Nathan Lazur, Luis Martins, David Ying, Mathew Valente and Michael Demirel for working so hard, only to have to walk away.
This project really had a lot of potential so it's sad that Square-Enix came down on them like this. Although, it's possible that SE is working on their own update, but it seems like kind of a slap in the face to the guys that worked on this game.
It's a series that's kind of like the movie except without all the stuff that makes your brain hurt. The Standalone Complex is more of a cop show, with an emphasis on action and hunting down criminals rather than complex quasi-intellectual sci-fi stuff. Also, it has some of the best animation I've in an animes series to date, beating out even Last Exile, which looks incredible. The first volume is out right now, so go and buy it because you know you want to.
Btw, it has music done by Yoko Kanno, who did the music for Cowboy Bebop.
With my move to DSL I can't retrieve my password...Is it possible for someone to get it for me or delete my UltraMarioMan account so I can resign up with my new email and get my tiny 156 post count back?
I got this from Nintendojo, though I saw it at the G-A boards a few days ago.
Here's the U.S. Echoes boxart as of right now. It's okay, a bit better than the Prime boxart but it really could be much better.
I just don't understand why the boxart has to look so average when they have such amazing art available that would look a hundred times better. Just look at this masterpiece:
Someone already made custom boxart out of this image and it looks incredible. I'm sure it'd sell at least a few more copies with that gorgeous artwork.
Haha, and I wonder if ABF would want to meet up with me? And maybe some of you other east-coasters could stop by if it's not too long of a drive. We could have a mini TC ruinion.
