As you may not have known, Retro Studios was developing 5 titles to hit GCN before they were all canned so they could work on Metroid Prime. Well the best title that was canned was a little known Exclusive RPG known as Raven Blade. If you look at the screens...
you can see that this IS the best looking (graphically at least) GCN game to date and it isnt even known if Retro is back at work on it.
Now onto the games known features....
- A third-person action-RPG set to the backdrop of an ancient world
An epic quest involving a powerful, magical weapon called Raven Blade
- Play as a knighted hero who can wield weapons and use magic
Interact with townspeople, blacksmiths, magicians, a king and more
- Engage in real-time 3D battles as opposed to turn-based ones
- Amass items, weapons and magic
- Travel to cryptic ruins filled with demonic beasts or to a city that floats high in the sky above the land
- An advanced 3D engine allows for super-realistic high-polygon models, beautiful lighting effects, cinema-quality animation and more
- Single-player adventure
I am still drooling for this game and hopefully Retro is hard at work on it at this moment even thought Metroid Prime 2 is in development. This really is a game that Ninty NEEDS Retro to continue to work on, because we all know what GCN is lacking, RPG's...
