Fat Princess! and Rag Doll Kung fu: Fists of Plastic

[Z]

these look like a hilarious and fun games!

I'm looking for vids and pics to post them here.

Rag doll kung fu looks cool.

Looks like a smash bros type fighter and I don't wanna buy a wii just for smash bros, so hopefully Rag Doll Kung Fu will be good.

Fat Princess looks pretty funny. I just couldn't get peg on what type of game it was tho. Looks like an action RPG maybe?

Fat Princess looks like it could have been a strategy game of some sort to me.

Rag Doll Kun fu I hoping is like the last one which was media molecule first game

Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5025699/fat-princess-on-psn-could-be-our-gots)


It's not often a product description like this comes along, so I'm going to let it speak for itself:

Frantic and fun, Fat Princess pits two hordes of players against each other in comic medieval battle royale. Your goal is to rescue your beloved princess from the enemy dungeon. There’s a catch though: your adversary has been stuffing her with food to fatten her up and it’s going to take most of your army working together to carry her back across the battlefield.

Yes. It's 16v16, online carnage, as you fight over - and drag - a morbidly obese woman across the battlefield. There's 10 maps, five character classes, and one writer's captured heart.

Frantic and fun, Fat Princess pits two hordes of players against each other in comic medieval battle royale. Your goal is to rescue your beloved princess from the enemy dungeon. There's a catch though: your adversary has been stuffing her with food to fatten her up and it's going to take most of your army working together to carry her back across the battlefield.

You can switch between five different character classes literally at the drop of a hat: the fearless Warrior, the steadfast Archer, the mystical Mage, the tireless Worker, and the deadly Priest. In order to triumph, players must combine their skills and work together. The name of the game is cooperation, whether it's helping another player drag a log back to your castle, manning a battering ram to smash through the enemy's front gate, or building a human pyramid to scramble over the walls.

KEY FEATURES

* Casual Single and Multiplayer Online/Offline Action – Cooperate with your team of medieval soldiers (up to 16 players on each side) to overthrow the opponent's army, plunder their castle and save the princess
* 5 Character Classes – Change your avatar's character anytime by swapping hats: Worker, Warrior, Archer, Mage and Priest
* 10 Unique Maps – There will be 10 maps total, shared across single and multiplayer modes.
* Experience intense frantic gameplay across diverse, charming and challenging environments
* Resources and Upgrades – Work together to collect resources to upgrade your primitive weapons and basic castle defenses into superior armaments and impenetrable fortifications
* Unique Game Modes – Select from several various game types: Rescue the Princess, Thwart the Invasion, and Medieval Games
* Customizable Avatars – Create your own personal Avatar and charge online into battle
* 32-player Online Skirmish – Jump in and join as many as 32 players online to wreak havoc on the battlefield and carry your stout princess back home during the conflict

Fat Princess sounds super fun, I hope Rag Doll is as fun as the original, not sure how it'll transfer over though :-/

[bilbobob007]

Z it seems daft to have two titles in one thread. i'd already started a fat princes thread and then realized you'd posted something here... i've put it in the thread i started and thanked you for it. it will get too mixed up having conversation that cross over and people will end up comparing these titles. hope you don't mind :)

[JasonXe]

Doesn't really matter but for small games like this, it wouldn't hurt having two threads for it.

fat Princess though should have gotten more attention at E3 though. I saw it pop up for 1 second and was like wtf that game looked cool.

[curryking1]

I really like the idea for Fat Princess as well. Completely silly and 16 player online, right? Fat Princess seems like a game perfect for PSN or any sort of online system.

[Diresu]

Fat Princess seems to be a surprise hit of the show.

Fat Princess looked hilarious and it looks to have a lot of depth and replayability to it. I honestly can't wait to play this title. When I first seen this game run I thought it looked stupid, but when I did a second play through I realized how good it could be. I found it funny how the guy that wrote an article on IGN about how he kept feeding his princess to make her more fat, so it would take a whole team to pick her up. I lol'd at that part.

what Liked about Fat Princess (other than the name) is that it looked innocent. kiddy and cartoony, then it gushes out all that blood. it is hilarious!

Z it seems daft to have two titles in one thread.
I did that since at the time we knew too little of both to have their own threads. but maybe we should break them. if there is already a thread about one, a mod should edit this one. (I think others have made two separate threads for each already).

[Z]

okay, just saw our own Cliffy making two better and focused threads about each game here. so close this shop down boys! moving on!

*woot woot*

[VG Aficionado]

Well, there shouldn't have been a single thread for two different games, so OK.
