For some reason I'm impressed by the graphic style (especially the monsters), looks like a comic page / comic style cutscene/stills to me. Not like normal gameplay.
cell-shading done right

game seems to be fun as well, I have it on the radar since the PSN trailer.

 

[astroturfing]

hmm didnt know about this, definitely looks fun. keeping my eye on this!

That is because sony does a shit job about promoting PSN stuff.

 

[Spectral Glider]

I didn't know about this either, looks pretty cool.

 

[Max]

Customizable monsters?!

Want.

That's why we have www.psnstores.com!

 

[j_k_redtail]

Who else clicked on the thread just because the game was called "Eat them?"

 

[Thunderbear]

I missed this one in the E3 craze... will have to look up the trailer.

 

[Host Samurai]

I hope its like a 3D beat em up like King of the Monsters 2 on the Neo Geo over a vs monster fighter like War of the Monsters.

Yes! I used to play the living fuck of of those games in the arcade. This game looks awesome and I'll be buying it simply because it reminds me of the Neo-Geo games.

The art's pretty darned good , too.

[sixteen-bit]

they should name the sequel Beat Them and Eat Them.

 

[Barakov]

I really like the art style. It looks even better in motion. Hopefully, they'll put network play in.

 

[r1chard]

Isn't that the old trailer?

Spoiler

[Dabanton]

Whoa first time i'm seeing this game, looks amazing.

 

[Coins]

Kinda reminds me of Calling All Cars.

 

[shwimpy]

According to IGN, this game is coming out next week on PSN.

If Under Siege can make it as well, OMG.

I'll probably wait for reviews, but it does look like a pretty fun game. Also, I'm curious on the price. Hopefully it's not $14.99.

Rey mentions in the comment section that it's $10.

 

[dwin45]

Cool. I might just blindly buy it then.

DAAAAAAAAAMN, Huge update incoming. I'm gonna spend tons

 

[neojubei]

Game looks good, blind buy from me

Indeed... can't wait for the annual Christmas sale.

 

[B.K.]

The trailer looks interesting, but I don't really like all the cel-shading. It makes everything a bit hard to see to me. It makes those monsters look messy. I wish it was toned down a bit.

 

[Square Triangle]

PSN is pushing hard with some great content. This and echochrome II for me!

 

[kassatsu]

I have been playing it for sometime. The eating mechanic that the game is built around is not the greatest.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

visually, looks awesome. my guess is it plays horribly, tho.

 

[SapientWolf]

I have been playing it for sometime. The eating mechanic that the game is built around is not the greatest.

Pac Man pretty much has a lock on eating mechanics.

Do you have enough info for a mini-review? I assumed that the game was just a cell shaded version of War of the Monsters.

 

[StealthGoblin]

This game is getting some good promotion in Home. I hope it gets a Home space. The Fat Princess, Gravity Crash etc spaces were fantastic.
