We Built This City on Project O (artwork)

by Eric Caoili { Oct 5th 2007 at 8:30PM }

Not all of you shared our excitement when we posted Project O's trailer two weeks ago, many questioning our declaration of the game as a "must buy." We considered sassing back with our usual acerbic wit, riposting, "Yeah, well your mother is a 'must buy.'" Oh, how it would have burned. We eventually decided against attacking our readers, opting instead to chip away at your defenses with as many updates on the RPG/sim as we can muster.

Jeux-France posted new artwork of Project O's buildings and characters that strengthen analogies between the game and a Pikmin-styled RTS. Some of the structures are predictable, like the smithy and archery hut, while others, such as the mustachioed and heavy-eyebrowed fish restaurant shown above, are a bit more eccentric.

We've got more images past the post break which you can preview while you try desperately in vain to shake the musical stylings of Starship out of your head. Consider that last link our weekend gift to you. You know, to make up for that whole your-mother-being-a-must-buy burn.

Wow, a number of artwork images in that JeuxFrance gallery have a distinct phallic tinge.

Can't wait, the art is Fairy Tale-esque, so I hope the story/development is just as fantastic.

This is probably one of my most wanted for the Wii.

If Cing can replicate the quality from Hotel Dusk on the DS, than I'll definitely be pleased with this title.

Your mother has a phallic tinge, Accidental.

You don't have to hit me over the head with updates to get me to want this game. But if you want to hit me over the head with updates BECAUSE I want this game, then I'll happily let you.

Now more updates about Oboro Muramasa Youtoden and Trauma Center: New Blood, and you make THIS Wii Fanboy's day.

I get a definate Blizzard influence from those images at JeuxFrance.com. I'm not saying they ripped off their style, because they didn't. It just has that same simple style that is a lot harder to pull off that something that is more complex in style.

This game is looking good, hopefully the gameplay can match the killer art style.
