Damn son

 

[Ryuuga]

I should be more excited about this, but the game as is looks monotonous. I also think it's pretty visually boring and not nearly as fast-paced as the previous titles.

Double Helix is the new Grin

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Man, all the feels. So excited for this.

 

[nded]

Doesn't quite seem to have that particular Strider look locked down. It should look like Moebius did a Blade Runner comic.

 

[Wonko_C]

It can't be as bad as this, can it?

[Vitacat]

Hmm, I think it looks pretty good. Yes, it has a different look than the old Strider games, but I kinda like it.

One to watch.

 

[rockman zx]

It looks OK and there is room to make it better but I don't think there is demand for this game, this looks like another Bionic Commando case, I hope I'm wrong and the game is awesome and sells well.

You saying Rearmed wasn't awesome?

It's about as slow-paced and lacking in flair as that.

 

[katsubento]

Awesome! Glad they are bringing him back.

 

[rockman zx]

You saying Rearmed wasn't awesome?

No, the other one.

 

[TheMink]

Wow looks great

 

[GhaleonQ]

I really love the 2 games, the 2nd being my 10th favorite game ever. No, developers. Not like this.

I liked the extent to which the series plays into speed runs. Its action was very delicate. This doesn't even try to do that, but I also don't appreciate what they've used to replace it. I love the series enough to give it a hard look, though.

 

[duckroll]

Double Helix.

Stridervania.

Feels bad.

 

[Noisepurge]

Looks badass! Will buy for PS4!

 

[FlyFaster]

ohhhhhhhh

myyyyyyy

goddddddd

Internet was off for a day because of moving and I come back to this?

Day fucking 1.


edit:
wait double helix. Angry Joe said they made Green Lantern and Battle ships among other crappy games. Hmmm... still hoping this turns out good.

Delicate? Are you kidding me?

This new game follows the 'hold down the attack button while running through enemies' action pretty damn well. Which is pretty much 90% of Strider 2. The previous games weren't god damn Street Fighter in its level of gameplay depth. At least this game showed off the boss fight which emphasized the need to change up strategies.

Please tell me how this is delicate.

 

[boinx]

New Strider game? Fucking cool!

Developed by Double Helix? Oh...

 

[Rulp]

On second thought, some of the comments here are on the money. The game doesn't seem to evoke that sense of thrill that Strider 2 had. The colours are also too washed out. I ran Strider 2 through the epsxe emulator and I'd have to say this new Strider doesn't seem to have that same visual flair and use of colours the old one had. Hiryu still has very stylish animations, but there is something missing. Sorry for the bad filters on the sprites, but you get the idea.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Strider 2 is one of my personal favorites and unfortunately the artstyle Double Helix is using seems kind of bland.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Game reminds me of catwoman or marvel nemesis on ps2/xbox/gc

 

[Defuser]

Capcom should have went for a strider action game like DMC but instead we got a game by double helix

Actually wondering why it wasn't just developed internally...

I want to be proven wrong.

Capcom seems to like outsourcing everything externally if possible, while all 500-600 people internally can work on a single big Japanese game which will underperform. It's the Capcom way.

 

[Salsa]

Double Helix.

Stridervania.

Feels bad.

main designers back

new strider

2D movement

?

 

[Nose Master]

I love Strider, but this looks like generic HD "remake" shit. This type of art style is why 2.5D generally sucks. They just crap out some models and call it a day.

Really hope they polish it quite a bit before release, cause ugh. The sound mix is butts, too. You can't hear anything besides him grunting in ecstasy and slash noises unless he's standing completely still.

EDIT: Oh god, Double Helix? nopenopenopenopenope

 

[iavi]

After watching the gameplay demo, I'm sold. I'm sure the strider won't be such the sponge when the difficulty's turned up a bit. He looks crazy responsive.

 

[Endo Punk]

That makes far too much sense. You do realize we are talking about Capcom here.

 

[dark10x]

I have to say, the footage looks absolutely awesome. I'm interested.

 

[Trike]

Looks like the game that appeared on Xbox.com back in January.

Is anyone else getting a virus alert from http://oxtongue.co.uk/GAF/strider/banner.png ?

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Double Helix to be this gen's Rocksteady? Killer Instinct looks excellent and this might deliver as well.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Not sure what kind of vanilla ass ports you've been playing, but Strider was a sight to behold. A goddamned sprite filled wonderland of intricate detail.

Strider 2 was no slouch either. Sure, LOL PSX 3D environments, but what was there looked pretty damned good. And it brought the Playstation to its knees over and over again. Shit moving and scaling all over the place. It was one of the best looking 2.5D action platformers for its time.

Which has nothing to do with how it played.


So like I said. Strider was always basic as hell. Combo master strider was an MVC invention.

 

[Solune]

Double Helix.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Stridervania.

YES PLEASE.

 

[Liamario]

I don't understand the complaints. The game looks as good if not better than Strider 2. They've expanded the gameplay and made it metroidvania. I don't know what you people want!

 

[gingerbeardman]

It's a bit odd to say "Orig Dev" in the title, as that made me think the developers of the arcade original were involved.

 

[Shig]

Urban Chaos: Riot Response maybe wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't bad.

Double Helix has a wide portfolio of bad.

Him.


In a game where he isnt a bullet sponge.

Should of go the Shank guys to make it.

 

[Amagon]

I'm a believer after watching the gameplay video.

Don't fuck this up Double Helix!

 

[dark_inferno]

Double Helix? Meh.

Hope it will be good. But judging from the Gameplay video it wont be interesting for long.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

I meant it more in a big break-out kinda way. After seeing their passion for KI and hearing how well it plays, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. That and Shadow Dancer folks working on this.

 

[so1337]

Double Helix is the new Grin

Stole my post.

For what it's worth, I thought Silent Hill Homecoming was really cool.

 

[GlamFM]

When I saw the trailer this morning I was sure this was made by Chair Entertainment.

Looks fantastic - and just like Shadow Complex.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Also when did Strider fit open world? It always was about stages.

 

[BadAss2961]

The gameplay looks very safe. It won't take Strider to another level.

Looks like a next-gen indie title tbh.

 

[Seven Force]

Having popped in Strider 2 for a bit earlier tonight and looking at the gameplay video again, yeah, it's really apparent that the game is being designed less like the arcade style Strider 1 & 2, and more like the non linear Strider NES.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since Strider NES is pretty fun, but I can definitely see how anyone (myself included) wanting an arcade style follow up to Strider 2 focusing on getting through levels with as high as score as possible, as efficiently as possible (like Strider 2) would be disappointed with a follow up instead focusing on exploration and finding power ups Metroidvania style.(Like Strider NES)

 

[Seik]

A new Strider? 2.5D?

 

[duckroll]

Also when did Strider fit open world? It always was about stages.

Didn't you hear? Open world is the new industry buzz word. Everything must be open world!

 

[Raide]

KI is looking great and they are working with fan feedback, so I cannot see why they would not do the same for Strider HD unless the Osaka team don't really do that kind of thing.

Sure DH have some poor games but they are allowed to make a comeback and improve. I am willing to give them a chance.

Yeah, and I thought they were stopping outsourcing to shitty western developers? Surely they could spare 30 or 40 people from their Japanese HQ the bring this in-house.
