Not a lot of info...basically the game exists and its going to be at GDC

 

[Ivan 3414]

I forgot about this game. They announced this years ago

Edit: Or just a year ago, it felt like longer though.

 

[SmellMyCologne]

Hopefully current gen. ..

 

[TheAggroCraig]

They had this playable at PAX South, I honestly didn't even know it was a thing, and I enjoyed the first game.

 

[BatDan]

This is pretty out of nowhere.
When was the last time something Afro Samurai related even came out?

 

[Flame Lord]

Man... Who the fuck could have called that. I never played the first one, but I'll keep an eye on this anyway.

 

[MattyG]

Wait what?

 

[jwk94]

This came out of nowhere.

 

[mullet2000]

They're making another one?

Cool. I actually liked the first game quite a bit.

 

[Hexa]

I'll take "Sequels No One Expected" for $2000 Alex.

I remember playing the demo for this on PS3 way back but it didn't really grab me. I remember it being like a crappier MGR though its been a while so I'm probably wrong.

 

[David___]

This was actually announced last year shockingly

[NeoFaff]

Haha wow this sequel is late.

 

[Coffee Dog]

The first game was MGR before MGR, what with the CUT ANYTHING and the awesome soundtrack. The devs weren't platinum, though

 

[Ultimadrago]

Certainly came out of nowhere. Well, the first game was painfully subpar (aside from music iirc) so I feel not one way or another about this.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

The first one was bland as could be.

...why?

 

[salromano]

Bigger quality:

 

[Japanmanx3]

Well, hello there Afro. Been a long time.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

The better have Samuel L Jackson back. I mean , he produces the thing , right ?

 

[Squishy3]

Yeah, but it was Monty Oum as a combat designer and animator for it. Ben Cureton (lead combat designer for Darksiders II) also worked on it to some degree, as he's in the special thanks.

 

[Slixshot]

Running on the same engine? Cuz it sure looks like it...

 

[Kevtones]

not like this

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

uuuuhhhh.....

 

[Dereck]

The first one was bland as could be.

...why?

I'm wondering the same thing, maybe it sold well?

 

[Inuhanyou]

Monty should be here today.

 

[abracadaver]

I liked the first game. Got all achievements.
Hopefully this is on PC as well

 

[WickedLaharl]

The first one was some rancid shit.

 

[Totobeni]

This is just weird, the first game wasn't good and I don't think it was a cult classic or anything.

Bigger quality:

No AA in 2015. is this a PS3/360 game?

 

[Brutuspedia]

I remember they said something like this game will have the best body dismemberment technology to date.

So we should expect something better than Ninja Gaiden, God Of War, Dying Light...

 

[DVG]

Looks exactly the same as the first. Same environment and character models

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Weird.

In a perfect world, Platinum would work inside the hyperbolic time chamber from DBZ and at least help out on this game

Kuma SHOCK!

Just couldn't resist.

 

[bobawesome]

This is the first time I've thought about Afro Samurai in at least 7 years.

 

[Twin Tails]

looks like shit

 

[Psychological Intellect]

looks like shit

LOL

 

[TheOGB]

what? really? I remember playing the first one at my friend's house all night, lol.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I bet $100 this will be a download title if it comes out. It's been 6 years since Afro Samurai: Resurrection; unless this game will be the sequel to that, since it ended on a cliffhanger, I don't know where exactly story wise they could take this game and even then does anyone still care? I remember the first game being a mediocre version of MGR but the soundtrack was good.

[Rymuth]

Megaton

 

[xzeldax3]

I'm hoping for a PC release!

 

[Acrylic7]

Has to be a download game.

Wish we could get a 3rd Afro movie. Not more games.

 

[zeioIIDX]

Weird, I was just contemplating watching Afro Samurai on Bluray last night lol. It's been like...7 years since I last watched it. Damn.

 

[Koppai]

Whaaaatttt!?

 

[sooWoo!]

I forgot about this game. They announced this years ago

Edit: Or just a year ago, it felt like longer though.

It was definitely announced longer than that. Can't find the article tho.

 

[MattDoza]

Looks like PS3/360. Or maybe just a real rough/early shot.

 

[Dram]

I wonder if this means they're going to make more of the anime series?

 

[Noisepurge]

Vita version clearly confirmed!
