The game comes out this summer.

On that timetable, I wonder when we'll see actual footage.

The game comes out this summer.

I didn't necessarily mean game development-wise, but more on the basis of information. We really don't know a whole lot about it yet [no trailer even, I really want to see it in action!].

Regardless, I'm hyped.

 

[Neiteio]

How often does Grasshopper Manufacture release a game? Sine Mora was this year also, correct? What about that Black Knight game?

Also this year. Consider that neither was developed by them.

 

[LeleSocho]

Am I the only one who is more or less annoyed by characters like this? With this pose? It just seems incredibly unappealing.

I hate this pose/design too, it reminds me of the girl of Sonic 06

btw this is the first Suda51 game since NMH that i am interested in, looks reeeeaaally good.

 

[Tomat]

Day 1, looks incredible. A mix of Killer 7 and NMH sounds fantastic.

 

[Vazra]

On that timetable, I wonder when we'll see actual footage.

I hope next week or the one after that. They can't tease me with these screens and not give me a trailer.

 

[Polishin8r]

bought

 

[Dehumanizer]

I love this art style

 

[∀ Narayan]

I feel like I've been waiting for this game since the beginning of this generation. That's definitely around the time when the first No More Heroes trailer released. A game with that aesthetic is finally here.

Here's a link to the NMH trailer. (Link)

Killer is Dead looks to be way more intense. I can't wait to see all of this in motion!

 

[VICI0US]

hot damn I love me some suda.

 

[TheMink]

Eva!

 

[RyougaSaotome]

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes.

No More Heroes and K7 were my jam.

I AM ON THIS.

God the fluidity of that... If only platinum could handle the mechanical/animation side of this, with grasshopper on aesthetics/story/music. A collaboration like that would make my mind explode

Wow, Platinum X Grasshopper actually sounds like a winning combination.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Awww, no Wii U/PC...dammit. Do want ):

 

[Lime]

It would be the ultimate BOMBA to end all bombs.

 

[Rehynn]

Also this year. Consider that neither was developed by them.

Black Knight was.

 

[Neiteio]

Reading online, it looks like Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality co-developed both Sine Mora and Black Knight Sword, no?

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

The last game Suda 51 directed was No More Heroes [he didn't even direct the sequel], and before that, Killer 7. That's why the later games [Shadows of the Damned, Lollipop Chainsaw] felt different.

Now that Suda 51 is once again directing for Killer is Dead, I have very...very high hopes for it. It's easily one of the top titles I'm most excited for in 2013.

Of course, I also enjoyed No More Heroes 2 [although it wasn't as good as its predecessor], Shadows of the Damned, and Lollipop Chainsaw.

I keep forgetting this, and think it should probably be emphasized.

 

[Discotheque]

I know he didn't direct Shadows of the Damned but that game was pretty damn great. Lollipop Chainsaw was....eh I couldn't really like it and I tend to love everything this man's name is attached to.

Can't wait for this one, so glad to see he's actually taking a direct role behind this game. Kinda lame that it's following the same plot as No More Heroes pretty much but still I like the Killer 7 look it has.

 

[Abylim]

Anyone else getting an Eva from MGS3 vibe?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

if localized: will purchase for 360

 

[IrishNinja]

i didn't day 1 Lolipop Chainsaw, but i think i gotta for this one. honestly, hoping for yakuza 5 by the fall/winter (?), and i hope these 2 titles fight for my 2013 GOTY.

 

[Verano]

"Am I Kawaii" yes..yes indeed kawaii.

 

[Epcott]

Will be getting this game.

And just the other day I was contemplating buying NMH 1 and 2, though I don't own a Wii.

 

[Vazra]

Play em on Wii U.

 

[Currygan]

style is sexy as usual, but that's not exactly what I have doubts about..

 

[Crapitalism]

Looks like a Killer 7 x No More Heroes... Both games are phenomenal.


However unlikely, I hope for a Wii U release too.

 

[Syphon Filter]

that certain look is very nice and unique,some kind of glossy cell shaded style.

 

[Azure J]

Wesker?

This game has a gorgeous style.

 

[mclem]

I'm not sure how I feel about the weird combo of shininess and cel-shading.

 

[jdl]

i want to love this, but i must admit the art style is gross looking. and i loved the k7 aesthetic.

 

[Krabboss]

MOE~

I didn't think Grasshopper had it in them to make such a pretty game.

 

[MikeE21286]

Looks awesome

 

[Meatvillain]

At the very least the game looks visually INCREDIBLE. I hope it plays well, though, I had a hard time getting into Killer 7 and to a lesser extent No More Heroes.

 

[akachan ningen]

in suda51 we trust

 

[monocle_wearing_hyrax]

I this one actually directed by Suda. The last couple of games with his name on it weren't actually directed by him.

 

[bomma_man]

I hate this pose/design too, it reminds me of the girl of Sonic 06

btw this is the first Suda51 game since NMH that i am interested in, looks reeeeaaally good.

It's the only Suda game since NMH

 

[sappyday]

Hopefully it plays well as it looks.

 

[Squire]

You think it's great.

 

[madhtr]

You think it's great.

I do too! You know me so well. Seriously, I really like the look of this game. Definitely giving off vibes of Killer 7 meets NMH.

 

[jdl]

You think it's great.

looks like i'm in the minority here. the bloomed, lens flared, garish colored, everything is plastic, cel-shaded look is gross muddy town.

k7 had a clean, high contrast look with strong color palette. this looks like they've piled every post gimmick they had.

 

[VitalNerve]

Haha yes, that is the first thing that popped into my head.

 

[Romars202129]

Right on, but then again, playing NMH, I was always felt Grasshopper was just a hair off greatness.
Maybe this is the one they finally knock out of the park?

 

[Gospel]

This looks pretty much like No More Heroes 3. Hopefully we won't have to wait long for an english release, I don't know how reliable Kadokawa Games are in that regard.

 

[Risette]

I could do without the sexualized female jumpsuit and the 20-year old with knocked knees together and feet apart. Especially the latter annoys me to no end.

Otherwise, the game looks very interesting and I really dig the art style (minus the overuse of bloom).

This post doesn't make any sense to me. The game seems to be very visually inspired by sleazy Japanese action cinema of the 60-70sish, and trashy jumpsuits are one of those things you'd see. It's like saying "i dig the art style but i could do without a key visual element" -- what.

Well, it's a mish mash of NMH and K7 for sure, but it's styles and effects, not gimmicks.

I can see how it can be jarring, in a way everyone looks like Hakan from SF4 covered them in oil, but to me they stopped short of making everyone look like wet plastic. Except for the hair, it kinda makes me think of Tamara De Lempicka.

Deco-punk? Punco?

I like the looks of DDP when it's not animu moe school girls

You don't get what he's saying? He just means he'd prefer they apply the art style -- as in the cel-shading, the shininess, the color palette, etc -- to other subject matter, involving other fashion sensibilities, etc.
