The first tiny little look at Dementium II photo

Dementium II is a game we know very little about so far. We’ve been teased with weird brochures and odd viral videos, but thanks to the new issues of Nintendo Power, we finally get our first look at the game.

Dementium II takes place right after the first game starring the same guy as before. The player is in an asylum where on top of all the chaos that's happening, he’ll be entering into a Hell dimension every now and again -- Kind of like in Silent Hill. Melee combat has been improved and there’s going to be a new Castlevania-style map that tracks your progress.

Sounds good so far. As long as there’s a better save system in Dementium II, I’ll be happy. Also, do not go to Renegade Kid’s Web site if you have yet to beat the original Demnetium as there’s a massive spoiler.

I love that bear. He's so scared.

Gon was awesome.

Oh and Dementium sounds good too. Mostly because of the words "Castlevania-style map".

Mid-level checkpoints would be awesome this time.

The first Dementium scared the hell out of me... even when I was playing it during the day with lights on. I hope this game does an even better job =D

PS: I really don't want anymore of those damned leeches.... the noise is just horrible....

I understand the need and desire to push a system to it's limits, graphically, but the DS is CLEARLY not designed to run FPSs (unless we're talking about 2.5D games like Doom, which could work).

I'm not a graphics whore or anything, but I often find it hard to go back to PS1 era 3D game classics because the graphics are so cringe-worthy. Even frickin' awesome games like Vagrant Story take some time to get past the graphical mush.

Second, and along the same graphical vein, the DS is a HORRIBLE place for games that are trying to look semi-realistic. It simply can't handle it and everything just comes out looking drab and boring.

Third, the DS is ALSO not an ideal platform for CONTROLLING FPSs. It's awkward and clunky at best.

So why do companies like these guys continue to stick in a genre that there really aren't any advantages to making on the DS? PLAY TO THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM, PEOPLE!


PS: I make an exception 3D-graphics-wise for DQIX which has used a wonderful art style to make its 3D graphics appealing.

And the Wii, which has a fantastic interface for FPSs, has only 2 or so worth playing. The irony.

Am I the only one that seems to think the DS has a great interface for FPS games?

I might give this a try. CoD4 was unbearable on the DS. I think I just need two sticks to play shooters on a console.
