Well this is fucking sexy. I can almost forgive the blatant rip off of Zelda and Dragon Warrior. Of course, I'm pretty sure the title of the game states that it's ripping off old 8-bit games.
This may possibly be the first game that's actually going to make me regret not getting a PS3.

Updated with a few screenshots.

Anyway, I had seen the screenshots before, but never the video. The video is glorious.

Edit:
Hehe, cracked wall in a mountain forty seconds in.
This looks wonderful.
Oh God I hope this makes it to the U.S.
I don't care if that doesn't make sense, this is what I wanted.

Hey, I really like Armored Core.
Also, this game looks awesome. I really dig the style.
I dig Lost Kingdoms and The Adventures of Cookie and Cream.
Not saying they're incapable of making good games, but...dude, seriously, check out their Wikipedia page.
And Demons Souls. I mean, it's so terrible it's got a hugeass thread here and it's been well received critically.
This looks like some sort of lego stop-motion video.
Ah well, I took a look around and it doesn't appear like From Software are even developing this game. Looks like it's Silicon Studio's, who I've never heard before but have Sony, Namco and Square Enix as shareholders (amongst a bunch of other fairly big companies, like Mitsubishi and Yamaha). They've only got a PSP game to their credit, called Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuk.
Regardless of my skepticism, the art style looks really neat and I hope From/Silicon manage to push it towards Demons Souls level of quality, rather than... Everything else From releases.
Will keep an eye on.
Not only does it look like a Zelda ripoff (albeit with an awesome graphical style), but...at 1:38 in the video, is that Mario I spy? Gutsy.
It is actually some miner from an old video game that also had an HD remake recently.
It even has the evil chickens.
No not really. This looks exactly like Zelda, except in 3D.

I thought this too.
That said it looks amazing.
it's obviously a parody of 2d, sprite-based rpgs. like zelda.
That doesn't stop it from being a blatant rip-off, however. For fuck's sake, it even has attacking chickens and Death's Mountain with raining boulders.

It's going to be the best Zelda ever.
parody cannot really function without imitation
edit: this is silly
It looks pretty cool. The only thing I don't like is that camera angle. Hopefully that can be changed.

There is a difference between parody and almost lifting something directly from another game and then calling it a parody. For example, the chickens don't really work as a parody unless they decide to preemptively attack because they are tired of goddamn PCs attacking them just to see what happens.
i wasn't able to read the dialogue myself, but i'd imagine that's pretty much what's going on
"Far a long time ago" was pretty obviously just bad engrish.
PSN/Steam/NNID: SyphonBlue | BNet: SyphonBlue#1126
it's meta enough, at the very least, that it's clearly trying to do something subversive
edit: parody is the simplest way for it to do that and i don't suppose it could really fail
edit edit: especially with such a damned easy target as zelda games
I have no idea if this game is a parody or a rip off, it's impossible to tell from a two minute video most of which is in Japanese.
People are dumb.
The fact that Zelda's been ripped off before has nothing at all to do with the fact that this game looks to be a blatant rip off.
And yet, despite that fact, pretty much everyone in here is saying that yes, it looks pretty awesome.
PSN/Steam/NNID: SyphonBlue | BNet: SyphonBlue#1126
It does, so let's just enjoy the videos until the game comes out.
If it's a total Zelda rip-off and a crappy game, bitch all you want then.
Throwing a fit now because of a trailer is kinda pointless and it might make you look stupid in the future.
If Nintendo aren't going to make a retro Zelda game, I'm glad someone else is. Also stop ragging on From Software; I'm one of those freaks that like my mecha porn -- I mean Armored Core...
