Put me in the underwhelmed camp. Though, it is just the first trailer and likely early in development.

 

[Tain]

If this trailer was shown by developer "such and such"... would u really be hyping it?

Of course not. If this were Gearbox or something, I would assume that the game would be yet another bad to mediocre release relying entirely on its grindhouse-wannabe presentation. Like, say, HotD Overkill.

But since it's Itagaki, I'm pretty damn happy that I get that presentation alongside what just might be a good game.

 

[jax (old)]

looks eh. and I still associate THQ with middle tier quality. How funny that itagaki went with Valhalla as the name of the studio. very western/norse.

Thank you

 

[Danielsan]

i keep misreading it as Devil's turd :lol

You are not alone. :lol

 

[∀ Narayan]

Sorry Ladies and gentlemen but I'm just not feeling this game. A fan of his work and all but this game looks like trash. I wish him the best but i dunno just not clicking with me right now. If this trailer was shown by developer "such and such"... would u really be hyping it?

Wait for TGS. We'll see more of it then - and I'm sure it'll be somewhat impressive.

 

[vesp]

Game could be pretty awesome if the melee/weapon stuff is more involved than other shooters. If its like a super stylized hyperspeed Jedi Knight or Heretic 2, I am so down.

While the graphics were not mind blowing, I appreciate that the character models don't look like creepy anime faced real dolls ala DOA.

 

[DR2K]

I guess so as well. Or maybe there are NONE!

That's the point I was trying to make.

 

[Onemise]

if the characters had powers this could pass for Prototype 2

Don't know why. They published 3 of the best games released this year.

Same can be said for just about any teaser trailer.

 

[dominuece]

It looks promising. I trust that Itagaki will deliver once the polish is applied.

Refresh my mind because I'm pretty sure I haven't bought any THQ products in forever.

Chaos Rising, Darksiders and Metro 2033.

 

[seady]

Looks okay.
I think the classical music helps distinguish the game, though I think it's a bit tack-on and probably won't be in the game anyway (imagine the game with just generic boom and bomb sound effects).

 

[BlueWord]

There's not much in the trailer, but I can see the foundations of something awesome. I expect nothing less from Itagaki.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Can we get links to the uncensored trailer in the OP?

 

[Danielsan]

Chaos Rising, Darksiders and Metro 2033.

Ahh alright.
The only one of that bunch that interested me was Metro, but the 360 version didn't seem very stable so I skipped it.

 

[iconoclast]

Saved?

This is just Japan bowing down to the gaming ghetto this generation has become I'm afraid.

Not long now before LEGENDARY PRODUCER is working on the next Matt Hazard or Dark Sector sequel.

You gotta be optimistic man

I just hope someone besides Platinum steps up to fill the action game void. Itagaki is making a shooter, Mikami is making a shooter*, Capcom is probably farming DMC out to Ninja Theory, Shinobi is dead, From Software dabbles from time to time, Team Ninja is lead by Hayashi... /sigh

*this seems like a decent compromise between shooter and action game, so I'll take what I can get.

 

[Corky]

Could be great, obviously too early to tell. But if the game feels like ninja gaiden black then I'm in heaven

 

[Warren Ellis]

are the people in this topic serious ?

itagaki+violence + guns = best game ever

i hope that there is a co-op mode

 

[jj984jj]

I didn't like the trailer much. The gameplay looks uninspired multi-player mayhem game #21398395, but at least there was lots of blood. Hopefully the gameplay details make it sound more interesting, and it has a single-player mode worth playing.

[Solid warrior]

wow, that looks awesome!

 

[Discotheque]

Eh I hope the single player campaign is decent. I'm not really into multiplayer-centric games like these with half-assed single player (unless it's Battlefield).

Looks like it could be fun I guess, but I'm not expecting much.

 

[Jb]

The game kinda reminds me of that awful free to play korean game, Gunz the Duel, but done by competent developpers .

 

[Max]

SO IMPRESSED.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Not feeling it right now but it still early so it can go either way for me .

 

[Saty]

Honestly, the beginning reminded me of WET in terms of gameplay and visual style.

That's what a lot of people seem to think. I saw it in some scenes in that trailer.

 

[Rad-]

Looks pretty good to me. Maybe slightly underwhelming as it's Itagaki after all but I don't think his games never looked that great on trailers.

 

[Snuggles]

This actually looks pretty cool, I liked when the guy parkoured off the beam and got mashed by the chain gun. This could be a really fun multiplayer game with the combo of guns and katanas and crazy jumps. I can't quite see the Itagaki influence, I didn't see a single pair of grossly oversized bouncy breasts in that trailer but it still looks like a lot of fun.
I liked the music as well, hopefully it will be the same in game.

Put me down for interested, I liked what I sawed.

So... Purple mist in the PS3 version?

The trailer looks better with each viewing. The setting and the gun/sword combo also remind me of Shadowrun a little.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Hmm, I'll have to actually see some real gameplay footage before I can really say anything interesting.

Visually mediocre, but hey, could be fun.

 

[TheThunder]

Looked meh but then again it's super early so will see.

 

[Xater]

Honestly, the beginning reminded me of WET in terms of gameplay and visual style.

Yep this looked way too much like WET for my taste.

 

[thechemist]

Gameplay looks fun, and to agree with some of the other posters it does look a bit like WET.

 

[ChronicleX]

Am I the only person who did not give a crap about any game this digital boob fetishist creates before the trailer and even less after seeing it?

 

[Lakitu]

I hope people realise when they say this game looks bad, that it's only 5-10% complete.

 

[adamsapple]

Looks .. disappointing ? Need to see more game play.

 

[Totobeni]

I can't beleve I was right on this ( western like shooter with melee )

well my money on the genre actually , I somehow think Lord Itagaki-sama will do some Shootry-western style game , a shooter but with super tight melee system will be something new.

I have nostradamus powah

 

[Yurt]

HOLY SHIIIIIT .. lots of potential

and yes the graphics are mediocre but maybe because its multiplayer focused ? ..haven't we learned after NGS2.:lol

I do hope they buff the graphics for the single player though.

I can't quite see the Itagaki influence

Then you clearly don't know what he's all about .

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Sacrilegious!

[charsace]

Looks fucking great. The master is back.

 

[ram]

doesnt look to hot and the tarantino homage was a big failure imo.

 

[Ihya]

I'd expect this from a B grade studio. Pretty underwhelming. Nothing new that this generation hasn't seen before.

 

[CadetMahoney]

no boobs?

 

[AlexM]

I'm getting "the club" vibes


considering I'm one of the few who liked the club I guess that's a good thing for me

 

[dilatedmuscle]

I dunno why but i didnt like the artstyle at all. Looks like WET meets The Club with more features.

Im underwhelmed but im interested to see how it comes along.

 

[2San]

So DMC got replaced by Bayonetta. Where is the replacement for Ninja Gaiden?

Here's to MGS:Rising being good.

Well isn't that the case with a lot of Japanese games? They never shine in the originality department.
