Namco's new RPG unveiled - "Fragile"

bonsai

Being developed by tri-Crescendo, with game and graphics design by the Venus & Braves team - Namco's latest exploration RPG called Fragile.

No real summary other than the main character is called Set and explores an abandoned city to find out where the population went as well as other mysteries. Seems more like an adventure game of sorts but apparently you will come up against foes. Take that as you will.

Also you will be using the Wii remote as a flashlight and it seems like the moon plays a central theme.

Picture spam!

I can't see the last two, I am assuming they are location pics first shown. Thus more pics follow:

I am looking foward to this. The idea of this being an RPG like adventure in this abandoned setting, has me intrigued. The game just needs a bit more polish and it will look great!

It's quite sexy looking, could shape up to be a sleeper hit if Namco play their cards right.

wow, that looks damn pretty from those shots. it's certainly piqued my interest, despite being a Japanese developed RPG.

it reminds me more of Silent Hill than anything else.

needs more twig though.

Digging the art direction, while I'm not a massive RPG nut, I do like the concept of exploration and of course the visuals.

Hopefully the gameplay is solid enough to warrant a purchase.

It needs a graphical update, I know it can happen, look at SMG and SSBB.

i kind of dismissed the low quality of the pics Joejoe posted, the artifacting clearly indicates it's been resized a few times. just look at the background Bonsai posted, i'm guessing it's similar to that in reality.

actually, those screens look like they've been grabbed from the trailer on the website.

The music in the trailer/on the website is lovely, I hope that is an indication of the quality and style of music that'll be in the game.

Is the heroine going through a male toilet? I mean... sure there is nobody there... but the principle of the matter!

Sin Ogaris · Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2007 10:24 pm�� Post subject:

Plenty of male protagonists have waltzed into female toilets over the years, it's about time the girls got their chance to peek at a few penises (even if none are actually there).

Maybe she can do a "Full Monty" (the movie) and pretend to pee standing up... or am I getting too graphic now?

Interesting setting. Graphics are definitely aren't as polished but I really don't care.

I want to see the gameplay though.

That trailer showed some gameplay footage, albeit a very brief snippet. I still stand by my "sleeper hit" verdict.

i want that music, i left the site open on my computer and didn't come back (played wii and what not) but every time i walked past my room, i had to stop because i could hear the music, even now, i haven't brought myself to close the site, and its about 4 hours after i opened it

Music is brilliant. I really hope this game turns out as good as I want, because that music suits it perfectly. Hype time!

As others have said, music is very nice. This is one of those "I'll keep a very much attuned eye on" game titles as it seems like a game I'd enjoy to play. Getting sick of repetitiveness of RPGs over the years with random encounters, lame dungeon designs and puzzles and over-the-top cliche stories.

Let's hope Fragile can nullify all of these bad points.
