Just watched the video. This game looks hilarious. Voice acting and dialogue are very campy.
"Oooh, I don't know, Ray. I think he might be fallin' for ya." *Ray stands too close to fire and it blows on him, lighting him on fire* "SHIT!!!!!" The graphics look okay in that video, too. The animation is a bit stiff and rough around the edges, though. The music is pretty nice. |

12+ minutes gameplay vid on NicoNico, involving driving, rescuing, exploring, and shooting :
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4730934 Looks pretty rough...Some rather funny moments...But that still looks kind of interesting.

I can see why NoA is on the fence about this game. I'm sure they'll release it eventually, but it's so very obviously a last gen feeling game, and they probably think that in the face of games this fall like Gears of War 2, it'll be pushed to the side. I'd expect they'll release it when their is less competition. Maybe in January or February.
As I said before, it's a very last gen feeling game, ancient really. The controls and camera look very weak and the animation is pretty poor. The presentation though is pretty great and it looks like there is some good gameplay ideas. It was pretty funny when the main character ate that huge burger. |

I don't get it. Why are the first gameplay videos of this game from some random dudes on Youtube and Niconico? I mean this game doesn't look bad at all. These videos make me definitely want to check it out when it comes out here. If Nintendo had released some gameplay videos like these months ago, I'm sure it would have garnered some interest in the game, especially among the Wii owners who feel that there's a lack of core games.
I dunno, Nintendo just baffles me sometimes. They continue to make core games, but then they throw them out there with little to no advertising to almost certain death. It would be one thing if they'd just given up on the core gamers completely and stopped making these kinds of games altogether, that's something I could wrap my head around. But they keep making the core games like they do value the core gamer, yet absolutely everything else they do says otherwise. |

wow, this looks pretty awesome. good presentation and the gameplay seems interesting. day uno. Plus, to be honest, the notion that nintendo is not putting out core games is honestly laughable. in the span of three months they released in japan: Fatal Frame 4, Capitain Rainbow, Wario and Dizasutta!!!! thats a LOT of core titles right there.

But neither one really fits. If they really said "Screw the core gamer," they would have canned this game back when they canned Project Hammer, and wouldn't have bought Monolith. Yet they couldn't possibly think that this is an effective strategy in advertising their game. Could they? I mean all logic and common sense and rational thinking say otherwise. |

The videos look decent, and in some parts very impressive. I'm sure some of the in-game disasters will look lavish and eye popping. Somehow I get the feeling that beyond that and some camp value the game will be a little shallow.
Still though, I'm piqued. Will buy when it comes out here. |

Folks it looks (visually and gameplaywise) like a mid-era PS2 game. Why would NoA market this to the hardcore when at the same time the hardcore is watching movies of games like Mirror's Edge, Gears of War 2, Dead Space, Little Big Planet and other games that look much more modern? In comparison this game would look very bad.
It's a hard position for NoA to be in. The titles that have done well on the Wii have not really directly competed against traditional next gen games, and so you couldn't compare them and the Wii titles still looked fine. This game however, very obviously is in the same place as those next gen titles, and in a direct comparison it would not look good. I expect NoA to release it at some point, but they'll either hype it up later in the year, or maybe they'll just sneak it onto shelves and not waste money on trying to grab core gamers. |

BTW, what was up with the shotting section in that video? The Pistol seemed to have no effect at all...
