this game is riding a fine line between "bland and boring" and "so bland its interesting".

Don't you mean Shadows of the Damned Damned Damned Damned...?

His jacket said "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in an earlier trailer lol

 

[metsallica]

It's looking a lot better than the last time we saw it, at least. I shall trust the collective vision of Mikami51.

 

[Tylahedras]

Not technically impressive so I guess it hinges on whether you like the style. I do.

 

[54-46!]

Who is this for?

 

[Discotheque]

Who is this for?

uh people who play videogames?

 

[Snuggles]

It can't be too scary if you get to carry around a MASSIVE GUN.

I kind of like the monster with the long, freaky fingernails, but aside from that this is very unappealing. The art is hideous.

Oh, and it's designed by Suda? Yikes.

 

[Don]

Who is this for?

Me

 

[Host Samurai]

I wish they would have used that beautiful Dead Space engine....

Hory Sheeet!

That's amazing, lol.

 

[Jb]

Looks terrible. But hey, maybe it'll be fun to play. Not getting my hopes too high up for now.

 

[Haunted]

That's a lot of post processing filters.

 

[plagiarize]

last time Mikami oversaw a Suda 51 project we got Killer 7 which is one of my favourite games. no reason i shouldn't get super excited over this.

 

[jett]

The art direction is seriously unappealing to me

 

[USD]

It's a bit rough, but it looks fine to me.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Don't let me down Suda...god dammit.

 

[yencid]

Love the look

 

[Why For?]

Looks nasty.

Gears of Dead Space.

 

[Host Samurai]

They are definitely playing it a bit too safe when it comes to the art style. Maybe too safe for its own good.

 

[Rahxephon91]

I am hyped for this game. The style just look its going to be really bizarre. I really hope Suda brings the goods with this one.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hope this turns out good.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

First impression: Doesn't look like a game for me.

So what do you do in it? Like shoot people and stuff? How is it better or different than the many other games in which you shoot people and stuff?

 

[Rahxephon91]

Who is this for?

People who like quirky Japanese games. That's what I'm getting from this game. And the fact that its from Suda means it's going to have so much personality. Like I seriously can't wait to see more of this one.

 

[Gravijah]

No More Heroes was one of the ugliest games I have ever played. So, I have high hopes for this title!

 

[Replicant]

Looks nasty.

Gears of Dead Space.

Rude. This one has ugly engine and fugly character design. Don't compare this to the hot-looking Dead Space series. Although I don't have opinion one way or another for dudebro Gears of War.

On the positive side, isn't this the game where Akira Yamaoka and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn moved to after Konami disbanded Team Silent?

 

[Stabby McSter]

Consoles only? D:

 

[vulva]

I'm optimistic. I'm waiting to find out what type of gameplay mechanic is going to set this apart though

 

[Tokubetsu]

I fucking hate Suda51

 

[Rahxephon91]

On the positive side, isn't this the game where Akira Yamaoka and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn moved to after Konami disbanded Team Silent?

Yep.

But I'm not sure how this looks like a dudebro game. Guys got hair.

I fucking hate Suda51

So why come into this thread then?

 

[Gravijah]

I fucking hate Suda51

writer him a letter and tell him this

 

[Jay Sosa]

Finally a game that seems to try something different, can't stand these other generic looking TPS with their zombie-esque enemies and handsome dark haired main protagonists. They sure have balls...

Yamaoka works at Grasshopper and is scoring this game, yes. McGlynn never 'worked' exclusively for anyone, so I dont know if she'll do anything for this.

 

[Ridley327]

She did the vocals for the song in the debut trailer, so we know she's got one contribution to the game.

I think it's more of a matter of Yamaoka and McGlynn being very good friends.

 

[fallagin]

This thing looks amazing.

Hmm...not sure if serious.....

She did the death metal screams?

 

[I <3 Memes]

Uggg. UE3 strikes again.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Uggg. UE3 strikes again.

This games biggest problem is its art and UE3 has nothing to do with that.

 

[Ridley327]

She did the death metal screams?

That should be a question for the eventual Q&A!

 

[EatChildren]

Those are the only vocals in the debut trailer, so if she did vocals for it those must be them.

 

[Ridley327]

There's a bit of singing before then and it sure sounds a lot like her.

 

[EatChildren]

The single long note that is yelled?

 

[Ridley327]

Could be yelling, could be singing, could be something else, I don't know.

Can we at least agree that it's kinda vague?

 

[AAK]

Hyped beyond imagination based on the development talent alone.

 

[Ridley327]

As for the screens, my biggest problem that I have with the game visually is that it seems like a hodgepodge of art; a lot of it doesn't really gel together, and that's surprising coming for a studio that even its most ardent critics would admit to having a very strong and cohesive style throughout their projects. I see some cool stuff like the blood skeleton thing, but Garcia's face suffers a lot from the standard HERP A DERP look that happens a lot in UE3.

That said, it did look to run very smoothly in the debut trailer, so that's something.

...I hope.

 

[wsippel]

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.

This. Also, I'd argue that the people who hype Grasshopper are typically Nintendo fans, and this game isn't on a Nintendo platform - and it's just one of many action games on PS360. The title simply isn't all that unique in any way. And it's not even directed by Suda as far as I know.

He uses the "executive director" credit that he had for NMH2 in the debut trailer, which implies that they have a different guy (or guys) working under him while he makes suggestions and works on the story.

It'd be weird if their Kinect game ends up being fully directed by Suda, but I'm not one to question their logic if such a thing applies.

I hope he's directing the Kadokawa project. I also hope that it's really Japanese, quirky and low budget. And, for Suda's sake, I hope it's on Wii or 3DS. Simply because I believe he'll get more hype and better sales that way - the hype Grasshopper got for No More Heroes was in large part due to being a standout hardcore title on the Wii. Personally, I'll buy and play pretty much anything they put out regardless of the platform, anyway.
