It seems that we've gotten some new Shadows of the Damned screenshots.

Before you ask, I don't know why they came in different sizes.

[BeeDog]

Reminds me of that PS2 game, Ghosthunter or whatever it's called.

[afternoon delight]

A real mixed bag.

[Kafel]

It's a 2012 title, right ?

[Wario64]

I hope this game is good.

[akilshohen]

I love the shot of the bloody guy. But why isn't this being hyped up more?

[pje122]

Yeah I saw these in some magazine over the weekend... maybe OPM or whatever. Looks great!

[EatChildren]

Most people wont like it because its pretty janky looking from a technical perspective, but I think it looks great, and its one of my most anticipated titles for this year.

I expect it to be full of problems, but meh. Like most of Suda's games I still end up loving them for their defining moments and interesting characters. Plus if the trailer was any indication of the soundtrack, its going to be awesome.

I love the shot of the bloody guy. But why isn't this being hyped up more?

Most of the disappointed fall into one of two crowds; either they expected another truly 'out there' game like Killler7, or they dont find anything about the game interesting and instead generic and boring.

[Discotheque]

Benicio Del Toro looks cool. And I'm liking the look of that blood monster thing. Anyways hyped on the basis of Suda/Mikami/Yamaoka.

[TheOddOne]

In Mikami we trust! This looks freaking rad. Will sell like shit, but I'll love it none the less.

[Nirolak]

It's a 2012 title, right ?

It should be out within the next four months unless it got delayed.

I love the shot of the bloody guy. But why isn't this being hyped up more?

The graphics were really bad until now, so they were waiting it out.

DA2's marketing was also really quiet until the thing looked presentable.

[Kenak]

Looks like Gears of Wake.

[faridmon]

The artstyle is apalling, and its ironic as it has come from devs. that have great artstyle in their games.

[Kafel]

It should be out within the next four months unless it got delayed.

Oh really ? I mix it up with something else then. Thx.

[pje122]

Looks like Gears of Wake.

I like this...

[strideramc]

Game looks interesting. I'll wait to see how things are looking closer to release.

[Darklord]

That main character may be the shittiest design I've ever seen. What the hell is he wearing? A weird purple leather jacket with nothing under it? Nice eye scar too.

[Dascu]

Big fan of Suda's work, but this has yet to impress me.

It's a 2012 title, right ?

Summer of 2011, if I'm not mistaken. I would not be shocked if it's delayed though.

[Micius]

Graphics reminds me a bit of Dragon Age.

[Kafel]

I think I got its release date mixed up with that Del Toro game.

edit : wait, no, that one is supposedly 2013

[subversus]

DA2's marketing was also really quiet until the thing looked presentable.

it still doesn't look presentable.

[Nirolak]

I think I got its release date mixed up with that Del Toro game.

That game is actually January 2013. :P

[Zero-Crescent]

End on the Jazz hands!

[Stitch]

is this for the 3ds or why is it so ugly?

[Dascu]

It does not look like a 3rd-person version of Singularity.

[italianfreak240]

Screen shots look nice. I will be watching this game for sure.

[EatChildren]

Just to remind people interested, EA are having a pre-GDC event where they will be showing both this and Battlefield 3, so we should get more (and hopefully more structured gameplay footage) later this month.

It sort of looks like a 3rd-person version of Singularity.

Have you played Singularity? I cant see even the slightest of comparisons.

[rvy]

Well... Suda51 and Mikami, so I'll very likely dip. I hate the main guy's VA though.

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

A real mixed bag.

Yeah, crap and shit.

[Ushojax]

I'm slowly warming to the game. I don't think it looks as novel as some of Suda or Mikami's other games, it resembles a mixture of Brutal Legend and RE4, but if there's one thing Shinji fucking Mikami knows, it's action gameplay. I'm sure it won't disappoint in that area, my only concern is the main character. He's just shit, trapped awkwardly between Travis Touchdown and Leon Kennedy.

[wrowa]

I love the shot of the bloody guy. But why isn't this being hyped up more?

All the years we didn't know anything else of it than being a horror game and since Suda is involved people didn't expect it to be just a horror game, but a truly fucked up horror game.

What we get now doesn't even seem to be a horror game.

[Dascu]

Have you played Singularity? I cant see even the slightest of comparisons.

What are you talking about. No, I have not.

[StuBurns]

Not the most visually impressive game, but I really wish that Japanese developers would be a little me forth coming with higher quality assets. The compression on those images is pretty disgusting.

[SolidSnakex]

Those are in the PSblog's Flickr account so there should be a blog post about it soon.

[dankir]

Looks like Gears of Wake.

More like Resident War 4

[bathala]

what happened to the art style

[randomkid]

people hyped because of mikami are setting themselves up for disappointment. he's just a producer. suda's the director here.

[EatChildren]

The fundamental problem there is that people assumed "horror game" was defined by "scary", and not "horror themes", which is exactly what we're getting.

[slaughterking]

It really doesn't look very interesting. Maybe there's something to the story and writing or they are doing some cool stuff with the gameplay, but EA really doesn't try to make this game stand out some more. Highlighting the Suda x Mikami involvement isn't enough if the game itself doesn't look anything like this.

[rvy]

Killer7 is awesome. So is No More Heroes and Desperate Struggle. I'm fine.

[StuBurns]

I don't believe that is true, he is executive director, the actual director is another guy I think. Which is the reason I actually care.

[shagg_187]

UE3, right?

[randomkid]

no don't get me wrong, i love suda's stuff, killer 7 and flower, sun and rain are some of my favorites. i'm just saying i wouldn't expect mikami action-gameplay in this game. there was an interview discussing how he basically just consulted on the game, stopping by every once in a while for advice. maybe that role has changed as the game approaches completion, but that was the last i heard.

[MNC]

Could do with some AA but the characters are quite freaky!

[Don]

I am so hyped for this.

Did they change the main characters face slightly? It looks kind of different from the trailer.

[ULTROS!]

It kinda looks like a 3D Castlevania game...

[G-Fex]

playable Benecio Del Toro in purple leather? Cool.

[Danielsan]

UE3, right?

Definitely, it shows.

Not sure about this one. I love Suda and his work, but I'm just not sold on this.

[-Pyromaniac-]

The engine is ugly and it looks largely uninteresting to me, meh.

[Visualante]

Looks really cool as is. Grasshopper is never going to challenge the big boys, I have the mental capacity to appreciate that and just hope the game is really fun.

Unless you like Suda but feel that Mikami's role will keep him focused on his most fun ideas. I see it as a really good symbiotic relationship. I'm here for Suda but I'll stay for Mikami's quality control if you get me?
