Some kind soul has uploaded the TGS promo vid of the game. For a Jojo fan like myself, this is looking to be pleasure overload...
For those who have no idea what's up...this here game is actually based off of the first "Story Arc" of the 25 year old manga, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. "Mr. WRRYYY", Dio Brando, is present and accounted for, but there's not a Stand or Steam Roller in sight (that doesn't come til part 3, and Jotaro Kujo is the star). Nope, this goes back to a simpler time, Victorian England, where Dio Brando turns the first Jojo(Jonathan Joestar)'s normal, aristocratic life upside down when Dio is adopted as a step-brother by Jojo's father, and soon makes strides to make his life a living hell in various ways. For instance, Dio personally made sure Jojo's pet dog is killed by making certain the dog is knocked unconcious, and tossed into a pile of refuse in a box; allowing it to be mistakenly taken in an unwitting furnace worker...which then burns the poor thing alive. And all of this bastardly stuff occurred before Dio even got wryyyy-tastic powers by turning into a vampire, and plotting world domination...
So then, lots of crap hits the fan after Dio says good-bye to humanity and becomes a vampire. Jojo eventually loses practically everything else important to him in the process...so what's a guy to do? He trains up under a cool dude name Zeppeli (musical references are abound in the Jojo-verse), who teaches him about the Hamon/Ripple, an energy that allows humans to be able to fight vampires and other undead nasties by utilizing the sun's energy in their attacks...and thus...for Dio and Jojo, it's on...
As for this game? Well, it looks to be like quite a stylish, fun brawler, which seems to have a good number of characters from the first arc as playable characters, including Dio himself. What also seems to be a part of the game is how you'll often have to pose (in the ever bizarre, yet stylish, Jojo way) in order to get power-up buffs like speed increases, strength enhancing, and etc.
After having a lot of fun with God Hand, it's only ressurected that part of my that loves nothing more than to pop a good beat 'em up game in my console and whup ass until I save the day or get my ass handed to me by a tough boss. Needless to say, this game shall be mine for the importing come October 26th or earlier.
Also, if it means any thing to you guys, there will also be an OVA movie of the first Jojo series that will air sometime around January, last I heard. This, the game, and possibly even the multiple Jojo-luvvin in Jump Ultimate Starts are all part of heralding the 25th anniversary of the series, after all...
