Support NeoGAF

[Arklite]

Liking it so far on setting alone, but yeah, can't pin down why it doesn't feel as exciting as other titles.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Play this with French audio, like you should in Heavy Rain.

 

[bryanee]

It looks interesting and I hope to see more of it soon. I'd like a walkthrough of another level just to get a grasp how it plays.

Voice acting is bad.

 

[semiconscious]

a punch/kick (as in: yakuza/batman/sleeping dogs) cyberpunk game? 'cyberpunch'? absolutely! ...

 

[Ranger X]

Looks interesting.

 

[Lazy Jones]

I cliked on this thread just to see this gif. Started laughing because I knew it would be posted.

 

[Larson Conway]

I thought this was a pretty well made trailer.

But its content doesn't appeal to me as much as the memory hacking previews did.

 

[grosvenor_92]

I like the whole Neo Paris setting so ill keep my eye on this one

 

[Ahasverus]

It's a new IP wuth a female protagonist It's commercial suicide but I like it for that.

 

[Caelestis]

I am liking the feel of this game so far. It might not be on a level of some AAA games, but the premise seems interesting enough to give it a shot.

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

I think this gonna be one of the sleeper hits this year. I wish Nilin looked more like her cosplayer though.

 

[Kacho]

Really digging that boss battle. Came across as very Capcom, if that makes any sense.

I was pretty cold on the game after the first trailer, but I'm a touch more interested now.

 

[Myriadis]

I'll see when it comes out, but I like it already that they don't take it seriously all the time.

 

[Dennis]

What did they choose a name that every gamer is going to mock?

 

[vitacola]

I don't understand the hate. Looks pretty decent and interesting. We will see how it ends up.

 

[UrbanRats]

Good:
Cyber Punk setting.
Paris instead of some US city.
Memory hacking could get interesting.

Meh:
Everything else.

Bad:
The writing, just mute the game, please.

 

[peakish]

I think it's basically 'ghost trick-esque' puzzle game, wrapped in uncharted formula but replace shooting with brawling.

Honestly that doesn't help me much, haha

I'd like to say that I'll give it another look when it releases, but I may or may not have forgotten about it then (sorry).

Edit:

Well for me it was like they showed a few different elements of the game without giving them enough context to let me know how they fit together. So I can walk around in a city, but is that for show or am I actively hunting my objective in it? Now I'm climbing a building, but is there more to the objective than that? Oh, the alarm went off and I'm not sure if this is skippable or not since it seems heavily scripted with lots of fighting - then a boss fight happens. What about my target?

2 minutes isn't a lot of time to show a game off in, but this scattershot is so wide it barely hits anything for me. Somebody said it looked like a pitch video and I do get that feeling, showing stuff they want to have in the game, but without accompanying information about why.

 

[nel e nel]

Games should embrace the bad writing and stop taking themselves so seriously.

Bulletstorm agrees, sushidick.

 

[nel e nel]

Dennis was already taken.

 

[Persona86]

Looks interesting but it hasn't hooked me yet.

 

[AOC83]

Not too bad.

 

[guek]

I laughed.

Looks ok but mostly forgettable. This is coming to PC too, right? Perchance I'll pick it up during a steam sale down the road. Feels like one of "those" games.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

More like "Forget Me", this trailer.

 

[abadguy]

Is it too asshole-ish to say that this look like a C-level developer attempting to make a AAA game?

So like DmC then?

 

[dragonbane]

Well, at least the music is going to be great. Olivier Deriviere can't produce anything bad. The Obscure OST is still one of my favourites.

 

[LightofRohan]

I could see this being a sleeper-hit of 2013... I'm curious about it.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Much better trailer, possibly because of the limited dialog which has, thus far, been painful.

The glitch stuff they have embraced for their audio and visual presentation in these trailers is horrendously annoying to me. If this is reflected in the actual game, this is going to be one hell of a short rental.

I like the whole Neo Paris setting so ill keep my eye on this one

This still bugs me. I can't bring myself to suspend enough disbelief to buy that Paris would ever be called anything but Paris.

 

[El-Suave]

Really digging that boss battle. Came across as very Capcom, if that makes any sense.

It makes a lot of sense, but for me that's probably the thing I liked least about the trailer. It looks too much like a standard video game battle, and in my opinion it didn't fit with the rest of the video. But then again, if it's better than the Deus Ex HR boss battles, it's progress.

 

[AzaK]

Well that trailer turned me off the game if anything. The premise sounds cool but they essentially showed only the fighting encounters which are the most boring parts of any game IMO.

 

[Supermanisdead]

The older previews looked a lot cooler than this trailer. Might get this, but definitely not for full price. It looks like a decent mid-tier action game. Hopefully it's got the right length.

 

[Violater]

Mass Inception of Creed Gear Dogs

 

[deejay8595]

What's the story behind this?

 

[Despera]

Will try out before passing judgement. I'm kind of conflicted right now, the trailer was equal parts awesome and sub-par.

 

[sleepykyo]

It does seem fairly consistent with Capcom's current strategy.

Looks more cinematic than DmC. Shame the lack of a brand and the female lead have already doomed the game.

Games should embrace the bad writing and stop taking themselves so seriously.

But game critics love it when bad writing plays it straight. eg. Heavy Rain, MW2, any NT game, etc.

 

[Fantastical]

What's the story behind this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_JFIS0ga5o

It's in Other M. More specifically it was in the reveal trailer for the game which was very serious in tone and then that came up and people were like "wut".

 

[Ifrit]

What's the story behind this?

You don't remember him?

 

[Vazra]

I don't remember you but if I did I would have gotten Electro Shock Therapy or Lobotomy.

 

[base shagohod]

You.... are the greatest.

 

[ChosenPredator]

It's a new IP wuth a female protagonist It's commercial suicide but I like it for that.

yeah i have a feeling thats why most people won't be to excited.

 

[derFeef]

I still think this will be neat, I really like the setting. The trailer is not the greatest though.

 

[R_thanatos]

not great ..but not bad either ..i remain cautious but i lll check a demo if there is one .

 

[Orobi]

Really meh. Footage of last year was better than this.

 

[Striek]

I think it looks really cool. Shame it'll be a megabomb and I'll contribute to that by waiting for the bomba price.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

love the look of the game so much

 

[Akainu]

...bleh :/

Did anyone else roll their eyes at the wings part? I was fighting back yelling "SYMBOLISM!!!"

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

For some reason that's what I assumed this was about.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

This looks like another asuras wrath.

A decent premise world and story, cringeworthy combat.

 

[Fireblend]

I'm thinking this could be this year's Binary Domain if done right. Anyone feeling the same?

 

[Jrpgfanatic]

Can't say this will be a day 1 pickup for me, but I'm certainly sold on picking up the game at some point. Looking forward to seeing more.

 

[pelican]

Is it too asshole-ish to say that this look like a C-level developer attempting to make a AAA game?

Not really. Sometimes these things work out.

Take Rocksteady for example prior to Batman. Note - I'm not saying this will be a repeat of Batman:AA's quality or success.
