NMH3 is cool and all but there was absolutely no reason to have Suda up there when all he has to show for it is a picture.
They needed to focus on actual games, preferably what you could play come March 3rd.
These 4 year ahead announcements of games are the bane of the industry

It got people excited. I sure as hell am.
Worked for me! Can't wait for the next game in the series. Got me seriously hyped.
Fuuuuck yes. That softens the blow that it hasn't started production yet.
Oh fuck yeah, somebody post all of the requisite gifs
Actually he still hasn't.. yet.

I am in shock that I didnt even know there is a NMH2. Bought the 1st one to Wii for like 5 euro and loved it.

Oh man this was such a great surprise!!!!!!! I have to admit I never finished NMH2, but replayed the duck out of the original. Maybe I'll dust off the old Wii to finish 2 to celebrate!

Hasn't even started development yet? What if the switch is a total bomb? Who will publish?
Fuuuuck yes. That softens the blow that it hasn't started production yet.
So it'll be out in 2019. Oh well, as long as it's good.

People may be critical of Grasshopper's output these last few years, but one thing we know is that when Suda51 is personally involved in the making of a game, it's incredible. The guy shouldn't be a suit managing several teams, he needs to be the hands-on developer. That's how his games get all those wild details and memorable gems.

NMH2 topped the first one in sheer weirdness. Plus Travis can turn Super Saiyan. I deff liked NMH2 better than 1. The only thing that was worse were the fodder enemies. They were much more varied in 1.
A lot of people HATE it, but I loved the final boss in 2. He really had that final boss feel to him and was pretty tough.

I hope this isn't the only thing Suda does. I want 25 Wards, Suda, don't make me wait another decade, man.

Suda Directing!? Things are about to get crazy.

I simply cannot fathom why this was part of the presentation last night.
Agreed. This and the sega appearance has me thinking the third party lineup is shallow.

I wish they rereleased 1&2(they cab port the ps3 version) in HD in the meanwhile and give it the bayo 1 and 2 treatment.

I actually love NMH2's final boss, but I think I'd still put NMH1's up there just by a smidge. Great left field boss fight with some great music.

i felt bad that nagoshi clearly can't announce whatever he's doing this year (after poor binary domain tanked, i'm wondering if its kiwami 2 or if they'll ever let him off the leash again) but this was far from the only launch show that had talking heads saying stuff and walking out
NMH3 pic of travis was a megaton for me, so i'm glad they did it - surprised he didn't mention that he's directing, since that's a big deal to fans...but god knows he might've and the translator could've missed it, haha
Would be cool, Suda said he wants to do something for the 10th anniversary of NMH
But Jan 2018 is 10th anniversary for NA and Dec 2017 for Japan

A flaw in NMH2's otherwise superior combat is that enemies can dogpile you when you're knocked down in a very spammable way, which did not exist in the first game. It can get pretty frustrating. But yeah, I loved the plasma effects on your beam sword strikes.
Personally I was disappointed in the NMH2 bosses (apart from Alice and Margaret, obv), and the soundtrack underwhelmed me. But then again, I had really really high expectations coming off the first, so I probably judged it unfairly.
I will say the intro for the second game was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more awesome, though.
Like I said in the other thread, NMH1 already got remastered for the PS3, so they can just port that over. Take NMH2, fix a few things (like the aforementioned dogpiling enemies), throw in a few fanservicey extras, and boom. Take my money please.
I like every boss in NMH2 besides the final one, which is terrible.
Its the story and themeing where the game truly suffers not being a full Suda 51 joint. It's an okay imitation, and obviously they ran some things by him, but you know playing it something just isn't right.

The soundtrack really hurt it, I feel.
I mean, only PAL got the best song in the game!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the basic Margaret theme.

I agree that announcing games way out ahead of release is a bad idea, but this was one of, if not THE best new IP of last gen. I'm hyped as fuck.
Suda did an interview in Famitsu and here are some of the points you might find interesting:
-once he got up on stage he got excited and he improvised most of his speech (that explains why the translator had so much trouble keeping up with him)
-the artwork of Travis was created for this conference
-the pose Suda did during his presentation was the "Puroresu LOVE" pose (google "プロレスloveポーズ")
-they're still talking about who will publish the game
-they will cooperate with Marvelous Entertainment while receiving support from Nintendo
-they will try to incorporate the HD rumble feature: "Look forward to how Travis is going to charge his sword"
-Will this be a sequel to NMH2? "That's a secret"
-main points of the plot are finished "inside his head", he just has to write it down
-a rough concept of this game will be "killing one's past". Grasshopper will celebrate their 20th anniversary next year and Suda wants to project himself "burying the past" onto Travis.

So it's not even in pre-production yet? Holy shit. See you in 3-4 years I guess Suda?!

Yup. This is what made the Conference for me. Haha can't wait for this.

Weird to announce a game when you haven't even started making it.
At least it gives me motivation to play the first two games that have sat in my backlog for years.
