New Rule of Rose Gameplay Footage
There's some new Rule of Rose stuff over on MTV's game site, Overdrive (which runs like complete crap on OSX Firefox), and it's completely without context. Who's talking in the clip with the broom goblins? The subtitles don't seem to correspond with anything. The music is pretty, but extremely repetitive. A lot of it is inappropriate for the variety of scenes it's laid over.
Basic gameplay doesn't seem all that great, or at least not much of an improvement. It could be that combat is not a big part of the game so what we're seeing here is a rare event.
Do pay heed to the character animations in the cutscenes, which look fairly good. I especially liked the way the villain's fingers fluttered when she put her hand on the fat girl's head.
Although it looks like once again, the main character is the blandest in the game. Her expressions are very toned down, and her face and posture are extremely restrained. I'm guessing that player characters are the ones subjected to the greatest amount of committee review, and have all their edges worn smooth by the time they're put onscreen. What a shame.
I believe Rule of Rose comes out next week, and I'll definitely be picking it up. After all, I'm in this for the steampunk lolitas and the fishblimp, not the broom goblins. Or the dog.
