A new How to Train Your Dragon 2 console game is being developed by Torus Games and will come out this summer! It will be available on the Wii, Wii U, PS3, 3DS, and Xbox 360. There's no release date yet, but here are a couple screenshots from the game:
Aaaaaahhh!!!! awww...
ReplyDeletethe I want to have, I want, I want. But I am from Argentina and I not have neither playstation, nor wii, or anything, but I want it.
I want it too. And I have an XBOX 360. Jippee
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you can play as Valka or Cloudjumper?
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!!! And I have a nice new Wii U to play it on! I have been wondering if they would make another console game, and I seriously hoped they would! I got my wish :DDDD
ReplyDeleteI hope it is a lot better than SoD and the first game. SoD is repetitive and the first httyd was a fighter game.
ReplyDeleteIts a trap!
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to fly Toothless in 3D and HD :'D
ReplyDeleteConsole games based directly on movies are notoriously bad, so hopefully this will be an exception. I can't say the screenshots have me brimming with confidence though.
ReplyDeleteI've played a few that were good, but the first httyd console games weren't good. I really hope the game follows the movie and isn't a fighter game or just a bunch of mini games to play...
ReplyDelete"We can't fight dragons anymore? Ok, than we will let the dragons fight each other!" That was the idea of the first game. XD
ReplyDeleteI hated that... They take pride in not killing dragons anymore, but they make the dragons kill eachother XD
ReplyDeleteAnd it was way too easy. You could win every battle by pressing random buttons all the time.
ReplyDeletewhy not next gen?
ReplyDeleteYeah, the HTTYD universe is potentially quite suited to a quality adventure game or even an RPG if they put some effort into it. There's so many stories that could be told even whether it be following the movie script directly or creating an original adventure. Unfortunately, those screenshots look like they might be taking the mini-game approach. I'll wait for more details before coming to a final conclusion though.
ReplyDeleteI had the DS game where you actually have moves to use, and it made it more challenging because Toothless was weak against poison so Nadders would be hard to fight. It was like pokemon. But I had tried the wii one, and it was pretty easy with the random buttons stuff XD
ReplyDeleteSame here :D
ReplyDeleteAw' yeah! I have a Wii U, and I was hoping they'd make one. Of course... most console games made directly from movies are not that good. Who knows, this could be decent. We'll have to wait and see.
ReplyDeletewhat is?
ReplyDeletebut as every game with good graphics, an even greater storyline etc, it costs LOTS of money
ReplyDeleteI have a Wii U too! I am more so looking forward to flying XD
ReplyDeleteExactly what happened to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming these are unfinished graphics though...
ReplyDeleteScreenshots from video games always look bad.
ReplyDeleteYep, hopefully it will be neat! As far as the first game went... I still enjoyed it even if it was fairly easy to beat (and completely out of sync with the first movie!). I think this one will hopefully be more balanced. Who knows? I'd like to see a trailer of it.
ReplyDeleteYour fanfictions is, you read them once and you're stuck forever waiting for another one to come out =D
ReplyDeleteIm sure there will be one in the coming months :D
ReplyDeleteYou had the DS one?
ReplyDeletesince I don't have a console (I can afford one, sure, but I just don't like consoles!) I will get Thief for the new computer I'm currently building, I have to be happy with that, if they don't release this game for pc ofcourse =D
ReplyDeleteAt least the case looks cool.
ReplyDeletexD Sorry, I wanted the story to be 10 chapters, it'll be my first ever completely finished story on fanfiction. The only problem is, is that I don't want it to be some half bake scheme, this next chapter is going to be longer then all the other ones (by a lot hopefully), so it is going to take a little bit longer to finish. I'm trying to tie everything together into one epic finally.
ReplyDeleteYeah then I got the wii one. DS was better
ReplyDeleteyessss its on wii
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely true. I just personally wish that if they were going to bother releasing a franchised game, they'd make it something worth playing rather than a cheap, sub-par game that might milk a little cash out of younger children. That's not singling out the HTTYD team, it just seems to generally be the model for movie tie-in games, thus their poor reputation that I previously mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't really call it HD xD
ReplyDeleteexcept for graphics and lag XD
ReplyDeleteyeah, nintendo seems to have a hard time making HD games. That is, until the finally wised up to create the wii u, which I never played.
ReplyDeleteI have the Wii U, And I have to say they really did a good job with it, so I have high expectations XD
ReplyDeleteWii U is HD.
ReplyDeletemy little brother wants the wii u, so i'll tell him you think it's good
ReplyDeleteIts really a step up from any previous console. In Pikmin 3 the plants and creatures look scarcely real, and Super Mario 3D World is Mario like you've never seen it. Really really worth it.
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes! It's on the Wii!
ReplyDeleteCool, our mom doesn't want him to buy it, but this'll give him something else to argue on why he should. He has enough money, too.
ReplyDeletethere's not many franchised games that are good only a few ones like Tombraider
ReplyDeleteDreamworks your killing me! I know you can't spill the beans on the movie, but without the TV show, I have nothing but my fanfiction stories. When are you going to release something on dragons 2? I don't care about a video game DX
ReplyDeletethose graphics look like they came straight out of a late 90s play station 1 game.......
ReplyDeleteHey NightFury23, I couldn't help but noticed you liked nightshades comment, you've read my fiction?
ReplyDeleteexactly what I thought, though playstation 1's game had storylines xD
ReplyDeleteGood XD Also, if you have a regular Wii, the Wii U can play those games too.
ReplyDeleteNo, but I sure would like to! I liked Nightshades comment because I have been in the situation when you have to wait for more to come out XD
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the games the developer hasmade. Dont expect much as thwy focus on nintendo so otheconsols will most likely get a bad port of the game
ReplyDeleteThe subscribe button. Non stop emails for 2 days
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't get as much now as you'd get 3 days ago, be happy, otherwise you'd have 9000 unread messages, and that is no exaggeration... xD
ReplyDeleteBecause a lot of people still have old gen consoles, so they do that first, then move to the next gen consoles
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think i commented on 3 days ago. Disqus auto subscribes to posts i comment on
ReplyDeletethat's not what I mean, if you'd have the subscription 3 days ago, you'd be having to read, a lot!
ReplyDeleteyea i wish they made the graphics better
ReplyDeleteeven lego videogames are better grapics
even Thief has better graphics... xD
ReplyDeleteyea and those stink XD
ReplyDeleteabsolutely!
ReplyDeletethe faces are like flat XD
ReplyDeleteand the graphics is like an 8-bit world!
ReplyDeleteWhat?
ReplyDeletewell, it's called 'The Legend of Scale' (excuse the cheesy name) here is a link if your interested. Pardon some mistakes in grammar and spelling, I didn't have a beta reader for the first 5 or 6 chapters, but it is still readable and understandable... I think... I hope
ReplyDeletehttps://www(.)fanfiction(.)net/s/10144727/1/The-Legend-of-Scale
To be honest if this game is made for 5 year olds it will suck. when they make a game for young games they have a very small budget because they think the kids wont care but modern day kids care about graphics as much as gameplay so they are less likely to play a game with a few things to do and no story. For example Dragons Wild Skies had 3 things to do. train a few dragons, find food, and ride them which all of it was way to easy and got boring. A game like Skyrim had an almost infinite amount of things to do and great graphics so people kept playing it.
ReplyDeleteI want it for my 2DS (plays 3DS games so why not?)
ReplyDeleteI made this for grapevine because of how it looks right now
ReplyDeleteMade what?
ReplyDeleteseeing your coment makes me miss those games... I was awesom at Duck Hunt. Just cuz I wanted to help the puppy haha
ReplyDeletebut the 7+ chapters are very easily read, the guy who fixed it was fantastic! ;x
ReplyDeleteupdate the page
ReplyDeleteYes, he was. I thank you mystery person!
ReplyDeletenow the image loaded
ReplyDeletePC Gamer?
ReplyDeleteWish they had better graphis but I'm used to playing these types of games. It really doesn't matter what the graphics are like as long as you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletewouldn't call myself gamer at the moment, because I am really bored by games right now...
ReplyDeleteHey nightshade, since you seem to like my story, I emailed you a sneak peek of the final chapter.
ReplyDeletethanks :P
ReplyDeleteTry doing this:
ReplyDeleteTry this:
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't see the point in this. Movie games are almost always bad, and this won't be an exception (sorry guys, let's face it). I don't see why DW is doing this - the revenue off such a release is tiny (even though the budget may be as well).
ReplyDeleteAnd come on guys it's 2014, we have graphics like this, http://www.readyuplive.com/images/thread_images/Halo%204/Halo4screens/chief3large.png
I know graphics isn't everything, but really the above seems kind of unacceptable.
do you have any activitygraph?
ReplyDeletejust to see how active the grapevine has been, a curve one, it would be interesting to see it xD
In fairness, I'm not sure you can compare a web-based game with one of the most critically acclaimed console titles of all-time. I do definitely agree with your general premise though. If this ends up being a cheap, low-quality game targeted exclusively at a younger audience, I won't be interested.
ReplyDeleteI read on http://www.nintenderos.com/2014/03/anunciado-how-to-train-your-dragon-2-para-wii-u-y-3ds/ that it will be released on june.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of noise in this kind of thing, so it's hard to tell. But there are definitely more visitors now then there were a year ago. Monthly chart:
ReplyDeleteI think it's just that the post-count spamming has finally died down a bit. I don't mind because I'm pretty sure that there's been more on-topic discussion of the post today than there has been in a week or so.
ReplyDeletethen you will see February, March, goes twice as high, then defenders of berk stopped airing, and the line goes into the bottom xD
ReplyDeleteits not that its web based. its that there is not much to do.. the unity game platform is capable of large games.
ReplyDeleteonly problem: it's extremely boring when you don't have anyone to talk to.
ReplyDeleteim the person who turned it on in the first place. i was making a joke about it.
ReplyDeleteYou can use the chat. Please don't unnecessarily spam the comments section, we can barely find relevant comments now!
ReplyDeleteYeah I like it a lot better when the comments are on topic. I like to read what people think about the actual post, not scroll through thousands of conversations between a few people about completely unrelated things..... I really want to read what people thought about those new images but theres over 5000 comments, a good majority of which have nothing to do with httyd... I hope this post doesn't spiral out of control soon too.
ReplyDeletecould you please tell me what the scale is for this.
ReplyDeleteit can't because grapevine simply left it's golden age and died out, there are some that left and others have started working or gone to school :(
ReplyDeleteWhat are you considering to be the grapevines golden age?
ReplyDeleteit's for the activity of grapevine, It is how many who joined, but it'd be amazing to see how the comments graph looked like, if there are one :P
ReplyDeletejust something I say, it was when grapevine was most active, you see, now there is maybe 4 or 5 people online at a time, 4-5 days ago there could be 20 at the same time, and more...
ReplyDeleteThat's how I felt too. I thought there were a lot of interesting things revealed on the revamped official site, but I barely got to discuss any of it due to the amount of posts that were literally just counting the number of posts. I don't want to come off as rude, because I don't think the people who did that actually meant any harm, but stuff like that does defeat the purpose of the comment section in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteEven if it's a dumb game for kids I'd still like to do the dragon race. :D I bet the film's version will be so awesome. Gamers will most like put face-paint on themselves just to get into the spirit. XDDDD
ReplyDeleteOh ok, I understand what you're saying. it seems like this trend of spamming the comments is very new and came out of no where. A few weeks ago a majority of the comments were on topic with of course a few exceptions that are no big deal, and nobody was concerned with the number of comments in a post. Thats the grapevine I like :)
ReplyDeleteWhy not next gen? I would like play httyd 2 in my ps4
ReplyDeletewhat would I get if I put on facepaint when skydiving? xD
ReplyDeleteYou gave me an idea... Let's make a skydiving race! :P
ReplyDeletewow, not even Catherine and the others are here, and it's soon 23:10 where I am
ReplyDeletedo you skydive then? =D
ReplyDeleteAwh sweet. Def buying it when it comes out. Hopefully it'll be a good addition to my collection :D
ReplyDeleteI only managed to get the old for the 3DS and it wasn't very good. Here's to hoping I get it for Xbox 360/PS3 this time :3
I want to! Looks like a lot of fun! XD
ReplyDeletesweet! I have a PS3, 3DS, and a wii! I will probably get it for the PS3. im better at than the wii
ReplyDeleteIt is, so how should we make this?
ReplyDeletethe first one to reach 2000m height from 4000m jump wins? =D
The first one to get to a flag (it'll be pretty far away from the jumping point) wins! No cheating! :P
ReplyDeleteuhm, just a question, where are you planning on putting the flag, you see, at ~500-1000m you have to use the parachute x)
ReplyDeleteI don't want to fall flat on the ground :P
Seriously? No PC / next-gen version?
ReplyDeleteThank you. I actually wind up just not commenting on the site because it was so clogged with off-topic spam. It is much more interesting when people are actually discussing the posts. I'm not against people having fun, but the spam was kinda lame, and it really made it hard to find someone who really wanted to discuss the new issues in HTTYD. I like getting to know people, but generally I try to stick to the topic of the post. It is far more interesting that way because people can jump in and already have a good idea of what they will find in the comments. Anyway, I'm rambling, but I prefer it much more when people are actually discussing the post as opposed to random things or spam. Even if the grapevine kinda falls silent... at least we can have good clean discussions.
ReplyDeleteLet's analyze the area first! The first jump will be to see where's the best place to put the flag, the second will be the race! (if we can't get to the flag, let's see who gets the closest!) :D
ReplyDeletewell, just don't put the flag on a slope, like a mountain or a crater, because you can really hurt yourself on those... =D
ReplyDeleteI bet there will be a lot of people when the movie is about to come out
ReplyDeleteIt'll be probably on a flat area, the best area for landings! ...and what will be the prize, then? Or maybe just for the competition? :P
ReplyDeleteYou are of the really silent type I see =D
ReplyDeletelet the price be this:
ReplyDeletethe one who loses has to pay for the jump xD
since I've been jumping for a while, it costs MUCH less for me then for a beginner (about 450$ for beginners, mostly costs between 50 and 150$ for me)
yo
ReplyDeleteTjena
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll be buying it.
ReplyDeleteYay, america is joining ous now :)
ReplyDeleteYou hang out on ff.net too? Sweet! I'll read yours if you'll read mine! I'm The Queen of Valencia Torgue.
ReplyDeleteI just hope the grapple grounder is on it.
ReplyDeleteWow... I'm an idiot! *facepalm* I thought it was something different.. But it's an normal error! Every human probably did it before... (or not.. :P) XP
ReplyDeleteSadly... I'd be surprised. Activision probably owns the rights.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can create your own dragon again, I loved my night fury :)
ReplyDeleteit's one way to say hello to a person in swedish :P
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will try to make a HTTYD related Skyrim mod when I have the time, it should include some Dragons related quests, the Vikings (if I get the models) and of course the Dragons. And the graphics will be much bether than....that.
ReplyDeleteoh ok cool!
ReplyDeletehaha, I'm such an evil person, I were going to type "turn around 180° while in the air?" but thought that I'd have a little fun before that ^-^
ReplyDeleteI mean visitor scale
ReplyDeleteway to go Zer0X! xD
ReplyDeleteI'll just keep the idea of facepainting myself once when skydiving... :P
You little... You're such an evil human being! XD
ReplyDeleteI'm talking about the visitor scale... ;)
ReplyDeleteIt would be cool if all of the dragon textures got replaced with their httyd equivalent like the red death or toothless being alduin.
ReplyDeleteAnd then take a selfie 12,000 feet over the ground and post it!
ReplyDeletei meant how many visitors does each line represents
ReplyDeletefor example my screenshot of my google analytics stats for my website. the bar to the left
there are so many different ways that you can turn around in the air with, some are better, some look better but perform worse, I simply just use my arms and feet, if you hold out your hand with the palm straight down, rotate it to left or right by 45° and try to do the same with the feet while trying to hold them in one straight line with your legs, and you sometimes have to move your arm (entire arm should be (at the place where you can bend your arm) formed with a 120° angle), it's not that advanced if you get shown :P
ReplyDeleteah, okay, I have no idea, use your imagination! xD
ReplyDeleteReplace the models the game isn't hard. I worried about the animation or the dragons would fly through the air without any moving. XD
ReplyDeleteWhen they would use the original textures from the movie in a game, your graphic memory would be full before you can say "Dragons!".
I'll buy a GoPro HERO3+ just to do it (going to buy one anyways) because I found out (the bad way) that you shouldn't take a camera while falling, even if strapped on your hand... xD
ReplyDeletebut I have 8gb of graphic memory, you still sure about this? :P
ReplyDeleteWhat graphic card do you have? And yes, I'am sure. The texture size is extremly high with multiple layers.
ReplyDelete2 overclocked GTX 760's (4GB version)
ReplyDeletebut I could probably fit 2 more if 8GB isn't enough xD
That would be quite epic. There have been a few requests over at NexusMods, but no one has taken the challenge. The WildSkies rigs were posted over at the HTTYD proboards site, but you probably already know that. If I could fly Toothless around Skyrim... hhhhhnnnnggggggg...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Alduin, do you've seen my latest tumblr post? XD
ReplyDeletehttp://zer0x1(dot)tumblr(dot)com/post/80009398104/alduin-vs-toothless-the-galaxy-in-the
Took a while for me to notice toothless, and I wouldn't have noticed him if not for the tags xD
ReplyDeletemy computer only has 4gb ram and 512mb graphics memory and can run skyrim easily on high settings with the hd texture pack
ReplyDeleteI agree with you but keep in mind that this game is rated 10+ and skyrim is rated M, but still that is no excuse for cheap graphics and a shortage of levels, when I got the httyd wii game I was very disappointed because the levels were to easy and when you complete the game you cant do anything accept run around or do mini games. The same can be said for wild skies. To sum up its to juvinial.
ReplyDeleteSkyrim is more CPU intensive than GPU intensive, so textures should not be a huge issue.
ReplyDeleteI think there is no graphic card that could display the textures of HTTYD in realtime. Transparency, reflection, subsurface-scattering, etc. make that impossible.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have 32GB ram, 8GB vram, I can run skyrim easily on low! xD
ReplyDeleteThats why he's called a "Night Fury".
ReplyDeletesooo, not even like a 10-way sli connected black titans? :(
ReplyDeleteYou would need DreamWork's renderfarm :)
ReplyDeletewhats your cpu specs? im running a dual core amd a-6 apu 2.6ghz with turbo boost up to 3ghz
ReplyDeletesrry the pic didn't load.....
ReplyDeletebummer
Intel core I7 4820K 3,7GHz 10MB S-2011
ReplyDeleteturbomode at 4,2 GHZ because I have overclocked it.
any you run it on low?
ReplyDeleteNVIDIA supports only 4-way-SLI and I don't think that DirectX support it. Maybe with some NVIDIA Tesla co-CPUs and a Quaddro if you render it over OpenGL, but that looks stupid. XD
ReplyDelete1,000,000 FPS
ReplyDeleteit was a joke ;)
ReplyDeleteI usually run it with extreme modding, all my mods together take about 70GB of HDD, it's just that I easily get tired on skyrim, it's the same quests all the time, no differences after the main quest and expansions, and I have interspersed out the game like 7 times...
I have no life, only in the summer!
a bit excessive?
ReplyDelete140-144 FPS at ultra settings (doesn't matter because of all my mods) and I have 200 mods and about 180 is graphic improvement mods.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm joking, it all depends on how fast his monitor can go in terms of refresh rate
ReplyDeleteQuadro 5000k, not expansive at all xD
ReplyDeleteI don't think you need to completely change the game, just better graphics and an actual quest theme like legend of Zelda only the game doesn't just end. But httyd with skyrim where do I sign :D
ReplyDeletei have 20 mods for skyrim so far and get 15-20 fps on ultra with aa disabled.
ReplyDeleteFor me the fun part of skyrim is installing mods, to never use them, because I'm extremely tired at skyrim xD
ReplyDeleteDreamWorks basic workstation equipment.
ReplyDeleteyeah I know :P
ReplyDeletebut 6000k have been released a while ago, right?
I was planning on getting a computer with the 4000k just for rendering and stuff like that, but instead I just built myself a monster gaming pc xD
What do you want to render?
ReplyDeleteif this mod is ever created make max advertise it here
ReplyDeletemostly games and animations
ReplyDeleteI will make an extra thread in the upcoming forum when I do it.
ReplyDeleteYou can't render over GPU. Rendering is always over the CPU. Nvidia Quadros have much OpenGL power, which makes them perfect to display massive particle effects or multi million polygon objects (if the program supports it). Or you use GPU accelerated rendering, then the GPU make the light path-tracing, but in my opinion this is sh*t.
ReplyDeleteYes I know, but the Quadro is only for improving it, I actually have the socket which was planned for that computer, a S-2011 model, I were going to buy a hexa or octa core processor (which the 2011 sockets are made for) but they turned out QUITE expansive xD
ReplyDeleteWhen you want an Octa core you have to buy a Xeon, but than you can't play games anymore.
ReplyDeleteAs I've said, I don't play games that much anymore, and I skipped the processor and picked a normal quad, because I didnt want to use 1200$ for a processor, my budgetline for processors allways lay around 500$ ^^
ReplyDeletealso could you do a httyd soundtrack replacer someday. or maybe i will if i learn how to use the creation kit.
ReplyDeleteit's not hard to replace music, I've used the ck for a while (stopped using it because I forgot that I had nothing to do with the mods, since I don't play skyrim anymore, might get it again soon, but not as it is now)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about that! It would be awesome when you fight a dragons and "Battling the Green Death" plays in the background.
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteEEEEEEEEE! I was hoping we would get a game! :D It looks like this one actually has a story line too! (Don't get me wrong, the first game was awesome too, but a story line would have been a good addition!)
ReplyDeleteIt's probably not the final thing
ReplyDeletewow, I'm extremely hungry now (that's what I get for never resting/sleeping), I'll go get something to eat...
ReplyDeletePlease do! That looks horrible!
ReplyDeleteWhat looks horrible?
ReplyDeleteThe new game they're releasing...
ReplyDeleteActually there is one way you could. Go to DWs offices and steal one of their new computers. They're able to render the new film in real time.
ReplyDeleteI can't even lift my own PC. D:
ReplyDeleteYou mean the workstations which rendered the motion capture scenes in the obama video? This is real time, but not the real movie graphic. Even renderfarms with multiple 1000 CPUs need several hours to render each frame.
I'm really hoping that these images are from the DS version or something. Because those textures are just shocking.
ReplyDeleteA race? Is this a race? THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC! XD
ReplyDeleteRotG FTW!
Paint that could keep your face from getting windburn? XD
ReplyDeleteWell, looks like someone else is up for a lil' skydive/skyrace.. :P
ReplyDeleteNope. They developed a new technology called 'scalable multi-core processing' with HP. It allows them to render instantly and allow them to manipulate the final image easily ("it will enable artists for the first time to work on rich complex images in real time, instead of waiting eight hours to see the results next day")
ReplyDeleteyea they really stink
ReplyDeletethey should have partnered with Travelers tales games they made the lego games which have pretty good graphics
i was hoping for more of a free play and story mode game that will let you explore berk and do what every you want! but this looks more like wild skies
I'm pretty sure what we saw in the Obama video were just the models. Which would then, after being mo capped, be set to the animators who would use it as a guide to their animations (HTTYD is hand crafted, not mo capped)
ReplyDelete
