If I wanted to play Gears with bad art, I'd play Gears.
Seriously, taking inspiration is cool, it's an industry that relies on iteration for progression, but this is too far I think. It's in poor taste. I'd be interested to hear what Epic think of this game.
Such a shame Tecmo didn't acknowledge and embrace the parody and humor which is unintentionally present. As it is, the impression I get is that it's a Japanese game trying too hard to appeal to a Western market and failing because of it. It just looks like a derivative, ugly mess.
If these early videos are anything to go by though, I at least believe the pure badness of the cutscenes and writing could turn out to be an ironic strong point.
Not too terrible of a bump but apparently the game is coming in April or around there and there is probably an Xbox 360 release. I guess this is what KT will announce on this date. Announcement of an announcement foiled.
