More Tales of Symphonia Screens

By Jorge Ba-oh 01.06.2008 10

Namco Bandai have unveiled a whole host of new screens from the upcoming Tales of Symphonia entry for Wii.

There appears to be some visual tweaks since the last batch, from cleaner character models to some swanky lighting and special-move effects. We're also greeted with a handful of stills from the game's menu interface.

As announced earlier this week, players will be able to enjoy traditional button-mapped control for attacking, with optional waggle if players want to shake their thing to perform special moves.

According to dates found by the folks at NeoGAF, retailers are pointing to a November release in the US.

The generic JRPGness.. it hurts!

Definitely looks a lot cleaner and crisper.

You reckon? I couldn't tell it apart from the GC one I had.

It's a completely different style, and yes - it is an improvement from the last batch of screens released.

At the end of the day, Tales is a sort of game where if you don't "get" it, you won't like it and never will. But for those of us who DO like it, my god it's the best thing ever.

It doesn't look any better than the GameCube one to my eyes, I can't see how you guys think it looks better than the last screens released a few weeks ago.

I guess it is looking a bit crisper, though I would not have noticed if noone had mentioned it.

I know the resolutions are a fair bit different, but if you compare:

The latter does look slightly crisper, especially the character models. Shame the grass and backgrounds still appear a bit murky.

Still though, I agree - although the recent screens are better, it still isn\'t a major leap from the GC version.

They've changed the character icons a tad.

That looks much better than previous screens. Less green as well...good. Those early screens had a disgusting green tinge to them.

hmmm... I don't find the new screens anywhere or I know these 6 linked on the screen-corner above already. What new screens are you talking about?

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
