Another game by CiNG - Again: Eye of Providence

Trailer

IGN preview

To be released in 2009 in JP and North America. :'D

Trailer looks interesting, screenshots I can't make out much. I'm a little disappointed that CiNG isn't using the artist from Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk. But the concept sounds interesting :'D It's about an FBI agent who has retrocognition (seeing the past), and he uses it to investigate. Can't change the past, but he can learn from it.

I must say, though, there have been a couple adventure games involving Time lately (Time Hollow, and Squeenix's Sigma Harmonics, I think ... oh and Layton's third game but I don't think that really counts as it doesn't involve murder and it's been in the works since before last year anyway XDDD)

Interesting... :lana:

...To be honest, I'm not liking the new visual style. Looks way too cluttered and messy. :lana:

Hoa Dao · Post by **Hoa Dao** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 11:35 pm

Yeah, same here. ._. And it's not published by Nintendo? :[ I'm not a huge fan of Tecmo, to be honest ... lol.

But, ah, concept still sounds interesting. :] CiNG's on a roll these days XD (they're helping out with Little King Story with a bunch of high-profile people, wow)

COOL BEANS.

Is it just me or did that guy look kind of like Hyde :hyde:

This looks like it's intended to be the spiritual sequel to Hotel Dusk. If this was any other company I'd be afraid of the change in direction. And if I didn't know Cing was involved I wouldn't have given this game a second look. But with Cing involved, I think I'll be following this.

Ohh today is a happy day to own a DS and adore adventure games... :D

Cing, even though I've never played Trace Memory, yet adored Hotel Dusk, you still make me happy :acro:

Finally, an adventure game that tries hard to make sure the story is good... (even though sometimes the execution can be a wee bit weak :oops:

)
I personally am going to follow this game. Eh, the art looks... strange, but the storyline isn't oh-so horribly cliched, and it looks really interesting. I want to see reviews of this when it comes out, from YOU guys, not from other websites. :edgy:

Actually, it was thanks to Court-records people that I decided to buy awesome games like Hotel Dusk, Professor Layton, AND Trauma Center! Anyway...

Can't wait to see this come into fruition! Man, a lot of adventure games for the DS are due to come out soon, and I'm extremely excited!

If you enjoyed Hotel Dusk I'm quite positive that you'll enjoy Trace Memory! Although it was WAYY too short I really enjoyed how the story revealed itself (kind of like Hotel Dusk) and some of the puzzles were amazing at using the DS for all its worth!

This is a DS game? Wow, it looks so... different. From other DS games, I mean.

Dick-Gumshoe · Post by **Dick-Gumshoe** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 4:11 pm

A new game by CING? Intresting :phoenix:

Though,I wanted Hotel Dusk more~ But it's great to play Detective games,theyre a lot of fun for the DS experience^^

MercuryKitten · Post by **MercuryKitten** » Fri Oct 31, 2008 5:07 pm

Hm...It's a cool concept, but the graphics aren't doing much for me.

Emperor Ing · Post by **Emperor Ing** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 4:57 am

Whoa, I am liking how this game looks already.

I thing the cluttered style goes with the whole.. "cluttered" feel of the game (the guy doesn't look like he has it all together). The game promises to be interesting.

Besides, I trust these guys know what they're doing with Adventure games.

Quoth for great truth.

Now, is it just me, or does the new mechanic sound a lot like a find the difference game?
Of course, if the rest of the game is good I don't think I'll care that much.

Jesswee · Post by **Jesswee** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 7:17 pm

2009 will be a great year for this genre n.n

ashogo · Post by **ashogo** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 5:43 am

woohhaa... I completely missed this. The trailer really interested me-I wonder if they will actually have more fmvs to tell the story this time? The IGN preview also sounds pretty interesting, although I don't like that they're using real people for the character art...it seems off. I wonder why they didn't use their old artist?
Still, any ds mystery game by CING has potential, looking forward to it!

edit: the main character's codename is "J"...same as Bradley's. :hyde:

Not many people are mentally stable after having their family killed and them being the sole survivor. I guess the graphics reflect his state of mind.

My opinion? This game looks good so far :godot:

I wonder how currency will play a part in this game, considering that the Eye of Providence shows up on every dollar bill in the States.

Its gonne be released here and in japan in 09? :0

Zinle · Post by **Zinle** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 10:42 pm

Indeed, indeed.
More info and pics needed...
Oh...And EU release too :yuusaku:

LeahNinjaGirl · Post by **LeahNinjaGirl** » Wed Nov 26, 2008 5:51 pm

It looks interesting .. I might buy it when it comes out . The graphics in the trailer though; are they just really good? Or is it a real person acting it out?

It was slightly illegal, but those are real people that come with the game pack. They kinda sit on your DS and act out the game as you play.

animepanda94 · Post by **animepanda94** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 2:21 am

D:! That. is cool. They should do that with more games. XD

ashogo · Post by **ashogo** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 8:19 am

I like the look of the live-action in the cutscenes, with all the shadows it looks pretty mysterious, but the in-game live profiles look kinda bleh...could get used to it though.
But if this game is set for 09 in japan then it won't be here till maybe 2010... :sadshoe:

PhantomGamer · Post by **PhantomGamer** » Sun Nov 30, 2008 2:02 am

It's days like today where I wish I knew Japanese... I already miss the old art style, and it looks like a game that will freak me the crap out, but I'll play it because CiNG made it and they've got a good track record so far.

Zinle · Post by **Zinle** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 10:26 pm

Live, eh?
I don't like it too much, but maybe it's just something you grow in to...
Maybe I just love sprites too much?

Chikikyo · Post by **Chikikyo** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 3:44 am

Looks very interesting, but im a little uncomfortable that this game is being made with Tecmo...

Oh well, I will think about getting it once it comes to the US.

jamie gumshoe · Post by **jamie gumshoe** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 7:41 pm

wow this looks really intresting why i do like the graphics more in hotel dusk the concept of this game looks really fun a dective who can see the past dark mysteries lurking around the corner im pumped i love detective games!

Maybe CiNG is going to delay it because CiNG's marketing department is focusing on Little King's Story and Trace Memory 2?

ashogo · Post by **ashogo** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 8:23 am

Any fresh news on this game? I'm dying to see another mystery adventure game on the ds from CING.

Professor Layton is holding me over for now(and it's great), but it's not so much of a mystery game.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 9:19 am

Looks very interesting. I enjoyed Hotel Dusk but haven't played Trace Memory/Another Code yet.
I love these detective/mystery type games :D

Wrestler Hatman · Post by **Wrestler Hatman** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 2:13 pm

Besides, if Tecmo is publishing, they're probably concentrating on their merger with KOEI.

Marche Tobaye · Post by **Marche Tobaye** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 2:42 am

Here's hoping to see some hints that the game takes place in the same universe as Another Code and Hotel Dusk. :D

Tv mady · Post by **Tv mady** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:24 pm

Has anybody tried, the flower sun and the rain. It was origanally for the ps2 but there is a remake on the ds. Its a detective styled game.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:38 pm

I've played it (on DS), it was OK I guess - the story was interesting but the graphics and some of the gameplay were dreadful.

Tv mady · Post by **Tv mady** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:08 pm

Yes, Worst game for running back and forth.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 10:48 am

Agreed, that was one thing that annoyed me the most. Some of the story twists and fourth wall humour were good though.

Post by **Wooster** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 1:26 pm

Traded Luminous Arc 2 for it with my friend in Australia before the American release date. I haven't gotten very far in it but I don't know if I'm going to finish it. The character 'voices' drive me insane. That and connecting the wire to the object holds no gameplay element I can see. It's just a random pick a number.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 2:20 pm

I agree, the use of gibberish-speak for the "voices" was stupid.

L~A · Post by **L~A** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 10:41 am

It's funny that we didn't get any single news for this game for ages... I mean, the game was even supposed to be released this Spring, at least in Japan. Has the game been cancelled or what ? Since people at Cing say they're having a 'very close relationship' with Nintendo (cf: HD and TM), I wouldn't surprise that this game, which was supposed to have Tecmo as the editor, was simply cancelled... :yogi:

In a way, I'm 'relieved', because I was not really fond of how the game look (the 'live-action style characters). Maybe they just decided to change it, hence a delay ?...
