I'm hoping it turns out great. I'm cautious though. I'll wait for reviews and impressions.

 

[Mossybrew]

The animations for shooting into melee look lacking.

This game looks like it'd be at home on the PS3/360 designwise or very early PS4/One.

janky and some not great animation. Combat flow and enemy encounters don't seem particularly good either.

Yeah this game has kind of a cool style but the combat itself seems underwhelming. One to keep an eye on reviews and probably wait for a decent sale.

 

[Punished Miku]

I should hook up the Wii U and do a campaign run on Devil's Third again to get pumped up.

I mean If you wanna suffer through the game again. At least play it on emulator 60 fps or something

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I’d like to try this before a purchase. Would be nice if they released a demo.

In this exclusive Wanted: Dead trailer, discover everything about how finishers mechanics work as well as their importance for gameplay. Moreover, the type of finishers Hannah executes – there are over 50 total! – will depend on your environment. Wanted: Dead will be released on Valentine's Day for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

 

[Killer8]

Everything lacks impact and intensity. The animations play out too slowly, there are no flashy effects, and the camera does sweet fuck all to emphasize the animation. Compare this to Ninja Gaiden and it's night and day:



Shaping up to be yet another mid-game from Valhalla Soleil.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Yeah 50 finishers and only two annoying death screams that constantly repeat. Way to go.

looks like it could be fun, but this, & this alone, is enough to keep me well away. it's actually painful...

 

[John Bilbo]

I wish this game turns out good, but it is not looking so great right now

 

[TheGreatMusashi]

Absolutely day 1 for me. So happy to see this type of game again. Excited for Stellar Blade as well.

The more of this the better.

 

[Rayven_king]

Not sure why they call themselves the makers of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive when most of the people who
worked on those games are still at Team Ninja

wasnt this itagaki's old team that he left with after NG2

 

[Punished Miku]

wasnt this itagaki's old team that he left with after NG2

Yep.

 

[GymWolf]

I hardly think that this thing is trying to simulate ng or any pure action game with super fast pace tbh.

 

[VN1X]

Really hope this will sit around the 30EU mark and I'll be part of the fun on day one!

 

[IbizaPocholo]

We spent hours playing the upcoming fast-action hack-n-slash/third-person shooter Wanted: Dead ahead of its February 14 release for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC – and we quite liked its cheesy throwback feel. Previewed on PC by Travis Northup.

 

[Hot5pur]

Impressions are positive, but I'm a bit worried about this game though. I think they tried to be like Yakuza or something (not a bad thing) but I'm wondering if it will all fit together well

 

[Punished Miku]

He is gushing. Loved it.

I cannot wait. Looks phenomenal.

 

[MMaRsu]

Ehh I dunno looks kinda jank. Doesnt remind me of NG at all

 

[Punished Miku]

Seems like a much slower gun kata game. Something new. Doesn't look like Devils Third either.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah i don't know, it kinda feels like a poor man john wick with all those finishers that break the pace of the combat, and i don't even give a fuck about these movies...

 

[Killer8]

Why do the enemies just stand around waiting for their turn? Other games do this too but at least it's just 2-3 so isn't as distracting as this.

Ninja Gaiden 2 would have at least a few of them trying to jump on you at once.

 

[Petopia]

Gonna be dudes yelling the same death cry when they die.

 

[Shut0wen]

This does not look like a full budget but full priced game, it's $60 USD... that seems too much for what this video shows, it looks like it's lacking a little. The animations for shooting into melee look lacking.

This game looks like it'd be at home on the PS3/360 designwise or very early PS4/One.

The Ninja Gaiden thing is a pretty steep claim, and it doesn't seem warranted.

Its another case of Itagaki over estimating his ideas with budget, damn shame cause he could actually make another classic if he wasnt so touchy feely

 

[MayauMiao]

Looks like a budget game I wouldn't even pay $60 for it. Not sure why the DOA Xtreme Volleyball reference as I didn't see any bouncy breasts.

Terrible, terrible voice acting.

 

[Vaelka]

I dunno what it is with these over the top games meant to be cheesy and fun still having the most dull and unimaginative character designs still.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Reminds me of No More Heroes with all the goofyness and cool looking combat. Will get this one for sure.

 

[ANDS]

What the hell. How have I never seen this game. This basically looks like Joanna Wick: Cyberpunk 2077 Edition.

 

[Punished Miku]

What the hell. How have I never seen this game. This basically looks like Joanna Wick: Cyberpunk 2077 Edition.

Coming out on Valentine's Day for maximum irony. It's going to be great.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Pre-ordered this yesterday. It's got a certain style to it.

 

[F31 Leopard]

Combat looks more like a refined Devil's 3rd or an evolution of it. Here's finishers from Devil's 3rd to compare.

 

[Gambit2483]

Looks like a budget game I wouldn't even pay $60 for it. Not sure why the DOA Xtreme Volleyball reference as I didn't see any bouncy breasts.

Terrible, terrible voice acting.

It's definitely a $40 game for me. If it reviews well I'll grab it once discounted

 

[Supple]

Does anyone know if there is any traversal in the game or are you stuck on the ground? In all the gameplay footage so far I haven't seen the main character jump or leap off anything in the environment.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm guessing it's on the ground only except for contextual jumps or drops.

[Punished Miku]

Day 1

 

[Havoc2049]

Looks like a trip. Can't wait to play it. I already have the collectors edition pre-ordered.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I dunno what it is with these over the top games meant to be cheesy and fun still having the most dull and unimaginative character designs still.

I noticed that as well and isn’t this from predominantly Japanese developers? To appeal to the West I guess? They seem obsessed with practicality and realism for some weird reason.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Check out this exclusive action-packed Wanted: Dead launch trailer for another look at the upcoming third-person action game. In Wanted: Dead you play as a member of the zombie unit, an elite Hong Kong police squad that's out to uncover a major corporate conspiracy. Here's a look at the new hybrid slasher-shooter's story, characters, and more.

Wanted: Dead will be released on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and Xbox One on February 14, 2023.

 

[GHG]

Although it looks interesting and unique (in a quirky sort of way) it looks very janky from the gameplay I've seen today.

We might have another god hand type of situation on our hands if the combat system can live up to the promise.

 

[iamvin22]

If you search for this game and set your search to this week there is gameplay available from this week.

 

[Arsic]

Everything I’ve seen screams amazing to me.

Looks like a cult classic incoming.

Its definitely fun but hard as well

Im low key very excited for this
