Seem like bullshots, but looks and sounds snazzy nonetheless. I don't really need more information at this point. The initial trailer already did its job, and secured my purchase.

New Astral Chain Screenshots and Story Details
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
The story details also aren't new haha, exact same wording was used on the site when the game was announced. Nintendo have just been reposting a lot of stuff lately
Well, damn. I gotta pay more attention!
EDIT:
And in that case, the thread should probably be locked. If people want, they can put my pixel count results in the main thread.
Here's the website from February 18th where you can see all the same screenshots (I only go on about this because we all know some sites who haven't followed the game will report on it as new)

This!
Game does look amazing. Good job doing this on Switch. The artstyle helps alot
Beautiful look. It's got style. I can see those combat stages are very sparse, but I appreciate the choice to focus it all on the characters. They look great. Best choice.
Those more complex scenes are very nice, too. And they give a chance to fill the whole screen with that style and take it in.
This just shot way up on my radar. Shame about that title. Sounds like some third rate jrpg.

Yeah, it looks like they mainly just reformatted their page on it with basically the same information.
Game and setting looks amazing, if it's even slightly more open and not completely linear like Bayo games this could be an insta-buy for me.
Is it really that big a deal if these screenshots are technically new? They seem to be new to many people.
Clearing up misinformation is a good thing. It is too easy for something like this to get reported on as news because someone else was mistaken.
Maybe it's a controlled scene or something.
The game's trailer doesn't seem to be doing anything extraordinary tbqh. Nothing the Switch couldn't handle.
Although I'm definitely expecting the game to be 30fps.
I'm still shocked this isn't a MonolithSoft game, the artstyle before Platinum was mentioned had me flipping out that we were getting a new IP from them this early. In any case, I'm in. This is like if shonen+seinen+crackdown had a baby, premise wise at least, and I hope you can explore the city in full.
I won't be one of them since I like Bayonatte 2 far more than the first game. Press X Not to Die nearly ruined the game for me along with the highway level.
Then change the title. You keep asking for the topic to be closed.
Huh? I suggested locking the thread one time, and that's because we already have an Astral Chains thread.

It kinda looks like Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I mean the way the textures look. Probably won't buy at launch but later this year. Hope this one will be good.
i hope this is 60 fps, will be a bummer to play this kind of action game at 30, but the screenshots (even tho they're bullshots) make me worried that they won't be able to pull off 60 fps.
PlatinumGames history hints at unfixed framerate hovering close to 60 most of the time.
i expect a new trailer and full treehouse gameplay demo at E3.
fingers crossed
Oh yea it isnt that serious defnitely. I always joke im "2 mins wise and experiencedr" than my bro xD. But still its an actual thing even if it doesnt really matter
People still believe in screenshots released by Nintendo? Try to browse some already released AAA titles available on the eShop and compare the screenshots with the game itself. Astral Chain won't look like this unless this is running in a Switch Pro or something. Expect a way worse IQ / lower resolution.
Not to mention it seems there are quests or specific tasks that would not work well at all in a "boss rush" (why in the world is this game described as such) setting.
It's almost as if there's a space between boss rush and open world game design.
Nier Automata had a seamless world but it wasn't an open world game either. I expect the same kind of thing here.
Maybe if the environments are very limited and static, then it's possible. But Platinum doesn't have the best track record with stability
Exactly my thoughts. And that is, without mentionning how the Nintendo website(s?) are talking about "exploration" beside battle.
The hot takes sometimes are amazing.
Is it because the Switch is as powerful as 2 3ds taped together >.>.
Bad ports and low(er) buidget games dictates what the hardware can do at its best.
Because reasons ?
