God damn what is with Japan and all the over-the-top bloody action games these days? They're switching from waggle to blood the same time MS is switching from blood to

body

waggle. Both 5 years too late, but I'll still play.

These days? You never watched old Japanese Samurai movies I guess. Blood fountains!

 

[Soulstar]

QTEs make me nervous but I trust CC2 and the game looks pretty awesome to me.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Looks like fun, though they could have recorded a few more angry grunts for the trailer. For variety.

 

[ArjanN]

this right here, and two QTE's right in the trailer. so far this is 20 dollar EB dump bin material.

God Hand and RE4 also had QTEs. Didn't stop them from being awesome games.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

This game just looks like RAGE. It should be called just that.

 

[ArjanN]

This game just looks like RAGE. It should be called just that.

Please see an eye doctor immediately.

Sure there is a lot of 'rage' in the trailer, but visually it looks nothing like RAGE.

 

[Flakster99]

Welp, like Shadows of the Dammed, just not feeling it. It looks unappealing to me.

 

[TreIII]

God Hand and RE4 also had QTEs. Didn't stop them from being awesome games.

That's because God Hand did QTEs "right", in my opinion.

99% of the time that a QTE came up, it was for the sake of a reactionary-based moment (getting out of a grab, etc.), or adding on extra hits to whatever combo ender you got. There was never any "Press X or YOU DIE" moments in God Hand. And it always involved using the same button, every time. In that way, GH basically did more to be reminiscent of an arcade-style brawler, which also had such things. Any body who remembers the likes of how a Foot Soldier could grab you from behind, and had to "wiggle the joystick and press the buttons" to get out, knows exactly what I'm talking about.

But the kind of things I'm seeing in this trailer is the same type of stuff that I'm seeing in practically every other game that uses QTEs. It's less a part of the game play, and more of a thing where you just "play a bit of Simon...OR DIE!" type of thing. Maybe it appeals to some people or whatever, but I would rather have it so that I'm actually DOING the awesome things, and less on-screen prompts directing me as such.

 

[BloodySinner]

LOL @ Trying to kill a dude from space. :lol :lol :lol

 

[Amir0x]

seems pretty cool

 

[Pachinko]

Even this looks more interesting then the new DMC.

I mean, the main character just beat up god in the trailer, that has to count for something right ?

 

[sciplore]

That trailer have me convinced that this game may be awesome. Have to some gameplay though, loving the art style.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

The scope of this is so nice, you just can't take that away from it.

 

[Riskbreaker23]

this game should be the new DMC

 

[-Eddman-]

Loved the trailer, may compensate for the DmC fiasco. I agree with some of the initial reactions, this looks like the asian God of War, in a good way, of course. It also has some Berserk (manga) badassery.

 

[deadmuffin]

I like anime, so that is probably why I like this.

Oh, I mostly agree, I'm just being cautiously optimistic, I don't really mind QTEs in moderation. RE4 used them more than God Hand but they didn't bother me there either.

 

[Nemo]

Looks impressive. Defintely keeping my eyes on this one!

 

[threenote]

This just looks like another mediocre Capcom game.

 

[Corto]

Shiva multiple arms special attack at the end of the trailer against Budha's finger ... Yummy!

 

[Lostconfused]

Kind of reminds me of some random Tsutomu Nihei mangas. At least the wackiness of the fight scenes. Or maybe Ergo Proxy, either one I guess.

 

[GeneralIroh]

Looks pretty awesome to me. The character is like a mix of Gutts, Ryu, and the Red hulk.
The facial animations and over the top choreography reminds me of street fighter 4.

[Rahxephon91]

Actually looks pretty cool.

 

[ultim8p00]

HUUUAAH

HAAAOOO

HURGGGHHH

HUAAH

Will probably buy it day 1

 

[Sohter.Nura]

The trailer looked very boring. Not very interested, it just tried too hard to be over the top...

 

[Dandy]

The trailer was tight. I'm gonna get this.

 

[kittoo]

Just saw this title on other site, funny and awesome-

God of war: Hindu edition.

:lol :lol

 

[Youta Mottenai]

Holy crap! These guys are pissed.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Holy crap! These guys are pissed.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Mar]

Wow, the trailer was great. Reminds me of Bayonetta without the boobs. Shit be crazy.

 

[Tylahedras]

I like what I see so far, I'll keep my eye on this. Hopefully there's more to the color pallet then what we see here though.

 

[mikeGFG]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiick

 

[GeneralIroh]

"You Mad"

The trailer and the correct OST= EPIC.

 

[Shaheed79]

I always wanted to play as Brolly in a action/beat-em-up.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

this game looks incredible. my game of the show so far based on the trailer alone!

 

[CrushDance]

:lol

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

just watched the trailer again. fucking epic!

 

[Eccocid]

I loved the minimal voice acting!
UWWHAAAAG x 50
GWAAAAAH x100
wouw!

 

[Kintaro]

So damned awesome. I mean, how the hell can you hate on Space Buddha Erupting God Finger from space?

 

[ArjanN]

I think we'll a lot of milage out of this image in future Ashura threads.

 

[Calcaneus]

I don't even wanna know why these guys are so angry. I hope the game gives us no context and just drops us in at the "I wanna fucking KILL this guy" stage of their relationship.

 

[sixteen-bit]

trailer makes me VERY concerned about framerate, but i'm sure it's still early

 

[faridmon]

So.... Is .Hack series dead to CC2?

Where is my episodic >hack game on the Console CC2? all you do thses days is Naruto games and ...... this.

 

[Q8D3vil]

i'll call this game devil may cry and forgot that other shit ever exists.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Wow. Everything looks so... angry!

EDIT: Holy freaking crap, the trailer is just... I don't know what to say.

 

[Dahbomb]

This game is like Godhand crossed with DBZ/Fist of the North Star. Just crazy over the top manly rage and in your face punching and godly powers.

Hey it might actually turn out to be good if it isn't so QTE heavy.

 

[HK-47]

So damned awesome. I mean, how the hell can you hate on Space Buddha Erupting God Finger from space?

Wrong mythological inspiration.

 

[sonicmj1]

I just love this trailer.

Like, when Capcom is introduced by the bad guy going "RRRROOAGH!"

And when the staff credits come up just as the finger is about to impact, and all you hear are clashes of metal on metal and "MUDAMUDAMUDA! RRRROOOOAAGH!" with the sound of each punch moving onto the next slide of credits.

If they can find the right balance of ridiculous, over the top excess and fun, horde-annihilating action (without too many QTEs), I will have to own this game.
