[SPEC][NEW?] Bold Futura Website Open

http://boldfutura.jp/ now has a splash page (or whatever the hell it's called) that explains they're opening soon. just thought i'd let everyone know in case anything changes over the next few days. Smile


edit to add tag until we confirm this is in-game..I have no opinion either way, just reflecting the comments here ~rose

Think thats one of there mining machine things on the front page? Kinda looks like a TIE fighter with legs. Although the tagruato website doesnt link to it yet.

Huh. Go figure.

There's also a Chiropractor in L.A. named Brandon Takahashi. Who would've thought that name would be so common?

Smells like gamejack to me. You would think they would at least incorporate the BF logo. WTF escalators?

Mining has it's ups and downs, maybe?

Nice robot, mining-platform thing though.

I notice the Tagruato.jp site's link on the subsidiary page still says "Bold Futura Web Page" and still points back to the page itself.
I'd think if they made this site, they'd have also edited that link as a part of the launch. If this site is valid, that link should be changed shortly to point to it.

Indeed. I say we put this on hold untill the launch or get linked by tagruato.jp.

If they launch and tagruato doesn't link, it's a jack.
If they get linked, is IG.

In the meantime... Cool robot. I bet Rob uses that thing to shoot and kill the lion monster at the end.

That would be awesome, but the monster has to fall and crush him so that all the Slusho 7 die, lol.

Now there's a good ending. Maybe we'll get lucky and everybody in the movie dies, then I can fell better about all the time I've spent following this game!

Flaws

Look at the poor photshopping at the top of the escalators, the jagged edges, the misplaced reflection from the escalators, the lack of shadowing/reflection from the machine and the way it seems out of focus (low resolution/jpg quality)...
Whoever did this still did a great job, better than many other gamejacks, but i'll bet that's exactly what this is...

Personally I say OOG, they haven't made any sites that recent, if they had a site it would have been created long ago so that we could verify it, they've been amazing about that, it's a poor design job (the reflection at the top of the escalator is all wrong and the robot has no reflection in the floor), now compare that to Slusho! and Tagruato, well designed layout, flash created. It draws your eye. The Bold Futura site seems like a jack to me. So far they haven't really put up any "pardon our dust" signs since Slusho, and that was just for certain buttons, not the site itself. Not to mention if it was an IG site it would have the bold futura logo on it or the Tagruato logo somewhere. I say OOG.

I agree that it's probably OOG, but why do sites need to be made back in July for most of you to think it's IG? JamieAndTeddy.com is IG and wasn't created until a month and a half after the trailer debuted.

Hey guys, I know most of you but you don't know me. I have been following along since the Tuesday night Transformers opened but I just registered and this is my first post.

Its good to be posting now instead of just reading. But with so many smart people on here I didn't just want to be taking up space, but I figure if I can possibly debunk this site right now it will be a benefit to the forum.
