Penny Arcade Adventures combat footage
Category: PC, Posted: 01/19/2008 at 10:23PM CST by Eddie Inzauto, Senior EditorPenny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One is one of my favorite videogames to write about. I don't know if it's all in the abnormally lengthy title, of if it's because the game actually looks like it will be an enjoyable adventure/rpg. The game chronicles the adventures of comic duo Tycho Brahe and Gabe through a "robot-filled epic" that takes influence from Lovecraftian horror, among other things.
This video shows off some of the combat mechanics in the game, which resemble the sort of mid-attack button manipulation found in games like Paper Mario or Shadow Hearts. No official release date has been announced yet, but we do know that the game will be coming to both the PC and Xbox 360.

There was a similar mid-attack button press mechanic in Legend of Dragoon too.
Right now, I'm not interested in this game, but I'll get people's opinions on it after it's done to decide weather to try it out or not.
If its anything at all like the rest of Penny Arcades stuff, then its should be great. I'm already loving the setting and the characterizations.
Looks about as good as I could hope.
Looks "Meh" ish
