Sin and Punishment 2 officially announced on Wii

GET BONER!

If this game has anything half as exhilirating as the aircraft carrier stage in the first one, it may just be the best game on the Wii. And I wonder if we will be returning to good ol Lawn Guyland in the sequel. I was losing all hope in Nintendo after their disastrous E3 performance but more stuff like this will get me right back on their boat again.


Seriously. That was crazy. Also more Evangelion esque battle scenes please.

If you dunno what djtiesto is speaking of then:

EDIT: Brad isnt dead right?
 
As mentioned, the character animations can use some improvement, and I agree with drohne about the explosions. Otherwise:

The animations are ugh.
Look at the legs of the main characters as he walks... what the...?
Annoying bit, but I'm thinking this is a much too obvious flaw not to be fixed by development's end (and it's probably going to be a while before it's finished). Anyway, everything else looks great.
 
I still think it looks like a Dreamcast game...

...and having said that, I'll buy it the day it comes out. Looks fantastic.

Was that a sperm level I saw at the 15-18 second mark?
A sperm? There's a shitload of sperm :lol :lol :lol


Looking good, bought and loved the original on VC :). Glad it gets a sequel
 
Some of the shots somehow remind me of Space Harrier. I must be going off the deep end after a day of awesome news.

S&P 1 wasn't to my liking due to the controls, but with pointing this should become a nonissue. Looking very much forward to it.
 
Just downloaded sin and punishment for VC and i have to say im impressed, it reminds me of starfox and i really like the type of gameplay......looking forward to this....
 
Fan-freakin-tastic. What a day for Nintendo, this is all the stuff I've been waiting for from them! I had never heard of Sin and Punishment until it came out on VC, and after rave reviews and that fact that it's made by Treasure I bought it. Awesome game, and it'll be even more awesome with IR pointing.

Definitely. Looks like some new mechanics for certain sections which was nice to see. Although I hope we'll get another floating platform stage (like 2-2) as well, so awesome.
 
This is like a fucking dream coming true.
I'm more hyped than ever, after NiGHTS 2 (who sucked so bad) it's the sequel i wanted the most.

The only thing that worries me a little is the art direction, since i think Yasushi Suzuki won't be involved in the project and that could be a significant loss..Saki for instance looks a little different from the original (even if we haven't seen his face yet!).

Anyway i'll go into antispoiler mode starting from NOW, i don't wanna see anything else till i buy it. :D

I don't get the graphics comments. I think it looks fine. Especially if it's running at 60fps, which is probably the case. The quality of the screens is a bit assy, but that's just Nintendo Screenshot Syndrome. It'll look a hundred times better in motion.

And it does. :D
 
Man. Delivering the goods. Fuck E3. I like these October events now.
Punch Out! and Sin & Punishment 2. Who would have FUCKING thought.

That was my first internal reaction... it's S&P!!!... but it doesn't look like S&P... the N64 boxart is my favourite piece of boxart. Could you imagine if Treasure emulated that graphically - a live action painting... Oooooo.
 
Yeah, any word on if this is going to have a true 2-player mode? I've played some of the first game and it rocks, but I was really hoping for some Gunstar Heroes-esque co-op.
 
How did this thread get to 7 pages before I heard about this news.

Do want.

I always considered the original game to be sort of a cross between Space Harrier and Contra. People always compare it to Starfox, but that never sounded right to me.

Also, lol at the graphics comments in this thread. The original game looked like shit too guys, but that didn't really hurt anything. :P

Anyone who actually listened to Nintendo saying E3 was for main stream media and not the core gamer audience.

anyways started playing the original just a bit ago. Damn this game is going to be so awesome. I really hope the flesh it out. Online leader boards please.

Disappointment-ton was disappointing. This, however, is EXCITING!
 
It did for me. IIRC, last year's fall event was pretty ace too. This one's way better, though.

exactly and Ninty knew this event was happening ever since E3. E3 isn't what it once was I hope this proves it.

Majority of people are dumbfucks. In 2 weeks this will all be forgotten and the cycle of whining about non-existent doom and gloom will prevail once again.

It is inevitable.

This is one of those announcements that you never expect to hear...but ill be damned if it aint sweet when you do hear it.

1. mega man 9, old school at that
2. sin and punishment 2, wtf, God heard us
3. ______________(whatever happens next....)

Kid Icarus is probably next, hopefully it'll be as polished and deep as the Zelda games.

This.

As I said . . . same thing happened last year. Oct made everyone STFU followed by the mudslide of bad ass core titles.

Than people bitched again cause the SSBB/ MK level games from Nintendo stopped and looked for E3 08 to get their fix causeing them to bitch even more.

This is not going to change. Nintendo CAN NOT please the current core gamers this gen. The same ones who whin about "no good Wii games" are the ones who cry "I wish/ hope this goes to my HD 360/ PS3" when theres a big or bad-ass title on the Wii. Good thing they are trying to make new gamers move "up stream".
 
I never played a Sin and Punishment game before, but it looks like Space Harrier of old. Is the game like FPS Contra style..I don't mind, just reminscing of playing Space Harrier and Contra sorta.
 
This looks awesome!!!!. Can't wait to get it!!!!.
If you guys like Treasure so much support them by getting Bangi-O DS and the upcoming Bleach
DS.

Meh . . . the most confusing thing when it comes to 3rd party Wii titles for ME is the fact that no one has tried to make a 3rd person Shooter that works something like this with the pointer.

This is on rails but I can see the shooting parts of a free-run 3rd person advanture title taking on this form in some parts of the game.

But I guess thats why this game is soo loved . . . I don't think theres many games that play like this.
