My Little Pony: A New Generation Discussion

[Blurr]

I gave them all a watch. All in all this isn’t a bad way to go about starting up a new generation of horse. I’m not a real big fan of the fact that they chose to go with the Cal Arts potato faced smile that you see in so many cartoons these days. But that’s more a nitpick. The voices are of course different. I can imagine it would be expensive as shit to keep paying who they had for the movie. But these voices are still really good and capture the characters of each pony quite well. I just wanna know a bit more about Zipp. Everyone else seems established save for her.

Hope to see more soon.

I don't like the potato face either.  But I do appreciate they are all different shapes and sized.  Being that the movie was a one-off, I don't even notice the character voice differences.  They would become the OP voices in this show if this series became a real series.

[FoxTail]

The animation is not that smooth and feels cheap, but the studio is clearly doing what they can with their limited budget.  I am not a huge fan of the style either.  Soda said it best, their chins seem weird on some of the characters, not all.

These shorts were above average to me.  They were fine, harmless, enjoyable enough.  Short enough not to waste my time.

Is it weird to anyone this game still isn't listed on Steam?  Like why isn't the company trying to hype it up?

Wow, I'm a dork.     Thank you, @Graymist. 

[MasterXtreme]

First twenty minutes of gameplay released.

It's pretty.... young audience oriented.

[Anyponedrawn]

^ Still something.


Also this map appeared in some MLP merch.  It shows a small portion of the new Equestria. 



This is our first map from the new series.

[Rainberry]

Hmmm.  Pretty map, but very limited in scope.

[RainySunshine]

I like maps, but that is pretty much just promotional material at this point.  It's not much to work with.  And why did they go to Zephyr Heights from Maretime Bay THEN go to Bridlewood?  My point exactly, just promo material. 

[Anyponedrawn]

^ Yea, pretty much.  I wouldn't call this official, even if it is made by them.  Because once they realize they need a REAL world map, this will change.

Still might be a pretty relaxing thing to start up after a long day... maybe?

[Captain Ridiculous]

I'm going to wait for a sale. If it's like $14.99 I might consider it... But would prefer under $10.
