I had no clue what I was doing or what was going on while playing El Shaddai. I would promptly pay 60 dollars for a PC port.

 

[DemWalls]

A PC port for El Shaddai would be cool too. Stuck back on old hardware now.

This.
When I decided to go PC only years ago, there were a few console games I was sorry to "leave behind" (Lords of Shadow, Brütal Legend...), but they all came out on PC eventually. I think El Shaddai is the only one left.

 

[wild wild rice]

I'm intrigued.

 

[DSix]

El Shaddai was beautiful, but it lacked that little something to make the gameplay fun enough.

 

[Kojirospath]

They should pull a Nier: Automata and haven Platinum do the combat. Still love El Shaddai for what it was. Warts and all.

 

[ArjanN]

why not both?

Possibly, starting off with a multiplatform remaster is a lot lower risk obviously.

 

[Host Samurai]

Whatever it is, I hope it's weird as fuck and has a unique cell shaded artstyle.

 

[Y2Kev]

Really thought El Shaddai had a lot of potential but the combat was a bit too repetitive. But still, super cool game.

 

[GhostTrick]

A PC port for El Shaddai would be cool too. Stuck back on old hardware now.

It's one of these games that'll be lost to history. Too bad.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

I'm intrigued by this announcement! Loved El Shaddai overall, hope Takeyasu Sawaki and co. can deliver another artistic masterpiece of a game and improve on the combat and platforming (if the project ends up being a sequel or spiritual successor to El Shaddai)

 

[Zapages]

I felt like 1/2 or 2/3s way through the game the story really accelerated... So it was a bit jarring.

Aside from that, the game was a visual treat and liked how you lost armor to show your lost of health.

 

[Kayo Police]

In for Premium Jeans.

 

[FLAguy954]

A PC port for El Shaddai would be cool too. Stuck back on old hardware now.

This is all I ask for.

 

[Omega Kirby]

El Shaddai was a pretty damn good game. Lots of gameplay variety and fun bosses.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I would be hyped for El Shaddai 2, but like others have already mentioned, El Shaddai PC would be cool too.

 

[Ahasverus]

Oh my God, yes, YES. Will buy at full price.

El Shaddai has a special memory in my heart. As you know it, it's a really visually and gameplay relatedly weird. Well, I played it while I had a literal fever. Let me tell you, not even the highest high has given me the sense of "wonderful confusion" I had with that game in that state. Nothing made sense, but it was wonderful.

These guys make magic.

 

[Despera]

El Shaddai was one of the most unique and interesting looking games from last gen

Combat was a bit too basic, but everything else was such a treat. Looking forward to this announcement. Hope the new game retains the trippy aesthetic

 

[BasilZero]

Hmm I could have sworn I heard few years back that Disney (for some reason) owns this IP now?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I loved El Shaddai, so I'm definitely interested in whatever this is.

Speaking of which, El Shaddai is a game that really could use a re-release. Both the PS3 and 360 versions looked so low-res... can't even imagine what that shit would look like on PC.

 

[MrT-Tar]

I played through the game for the first time earlier this year and loved it. Didn't understand half of what was going on story wise, but I guess I didn't with the likes of Bayonetta either.

 

[Falchion]

Sounds pretty major.

 

[Father_Brain]

next week in game magazines

 

[Monocle]

Hyped.

 

[Opa-Pa]

This is crazy as I wanted to try this game ever since it got announced but only got a copy last week.

Great timing!

 

[D4rth Man7iz]

El Shaddai visuals were definitely something else. Glad to have it on 360. A PC port would be nice.

Looking forward to the announcement.

 

[disappeared]

Imagine if he and Swery teamed up.

 

[Kevdo]

It took me a bit to get into El Shaddai, and the combat started clicking for me once I started treating it more like a rhythm game than an action game.

And it remains one of the most snazzy-looking games I've played. I would double dip that, easy.

 

[mikezilla2]

Lets see what he comes up with Next, for what it was i enjoyed EI

wasn't the biggest Fan of the Art style but it Grew on me

 

[TheSpoiler]

It's one of these games that'll be lost to history. Too bad.

Hundreds of years later when literally no PS3 works, all the thousands of discs rot, and there's no service to play it on?

I think you have quite a while before it becomes a problem.

 

[Kain]

Just hire Platinum to handle the game itself but reuse the writing and art team. Done.

I really liked El Shaddai, it was a beautiful game with great lore that touched all the stuff I dig. The combat was ass after a while though. Would love a spiritual sequel.

I think you have quite a while before it becomes a problem.

And we still won't have an OG Xbox emulator by then. (._. )

 

[djtiesto]

Nice. I hope it's not a phone game.

Did you notice who created the thread? It probably is
