Wanted: Dead. Cyberpunk hack and slash actioner out now!

[Kayin Amoh]

They said they were inspired by stuff like Dominion Tank Police and Yoshiaki Kawajiri's Cyber City Oedo, which got me on board immediately and had me salivating like a dog for every morsel of coverage.

 

 

[Mr. Gerbik]

This looks absolutely amazing

 

Goty etcetera

[Mr. Gerbik]

Let's ask our resident GotY expert! Hey @Benny: likely GotY or not?

I don't know I don't do the GotY threads any more.

[Mr. Gerbik]

Are you saying you think you're out?

[Benny]

There a very old circular object that says it won't be this. Maybe it can scrape second.

[Kayin Amoh]

Maybe that circular object can scrape second for me if it's lucky and Tunic's not as good as everyone says it is. 

 

I'm banking on this being everything I want in games, though. I'm that blindly optimistic. And hey, Turtles in a week looks cool too.

 

...Okay, this trailer's probably my game of the year. I don't care if the game fails to live up to my grossly unrealistic expectations. This is what I need. 

[Kayin Amoh]

Something else I didn’t post earlier, but Hannah can be killed in pretty disrespectful ways by the enemies. 

 

[Vemsie]

I hope this is good. Nothing ever filled that Ninja Gaiden gap after 2 came out. Still probably my favourite combat in any game ever.

This is 2022s metal geal rising 

[Kayin Amoh]

 

It's been pushed back to next year. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

14th Feb 2023.

Looking better and better. HYPE.

That logo is fucking outrageous and I love it.

[Kayin Amoh]

Ain't gonna lie, the small snippet of Yakuza style karaoke to 99 luftballons while some R-type / Gradius / Gundam hybrid game is projected onto the background does it for me 100%.

[Robo_1]

This looks like great fun, it definitely has the same vibe as the gloriously daft Devil's Third. Yeah, it's only when seeing the trailer for this I realise how much the game scene has shifted. During the PS360 era, third person action games like this were released damn near monthly. This looks like a good throwback to that era, hopefully the extra time they're taking bodes well.

[Keyboard Koala]

Is that an Eminem reference in there?

[Kayin Amoh]

Finally, uninterrupted gameplay. Which I can't watch yet, but I can at least share it:

 

 

[Benny]

Oh dear, that looks a lot less interesting than how it looked in the trailers.

 

Whoever is playing that gameplay demo did it absolutely no favours at least: they keep bumping into walls and running around getting shot

[Benny]

Spoiler

That "Ninja" enemy had a big entrance, but it looked like it was just sort of standing there and letting them spam basic attacks at it?

 

Hmm I think the delay might have been a good idea, as a few elements look a bit on the rough side unfortunately.

 

[Kayin Amoh]

Yeah, was waiting for some extended gameplay but I'd hoped it'd be from someone who knew what they were doing!

 

Sword could be done with being a bit more powerful (I hope it's not just the one combo, it looks a bit awkward), and some of those voice lines ain't so great. I'm still totally in, though. Built it up in my head to the point where I'll probably play the hell out of it even if it's objectively mediocre, because it's personally my jam.

 

Also, one enemy's just standing still at about ten minutes in. I don't think it's gonna be super polished by release.

[Benny]

I think we all want Ninja Garden, but so far it's a bit Wet.

[Kayin Amoh]

Oh hey, more foortage. Looks like it's just gonna use trailer footage at first, but there's new direct feed stuff in there:

 

 

Edit: The actual clip the new footage is from.

 

 

The AI and voices really are weird. Kinda reminds me on No More Heroes in some ways. However, with a better player the flow does look quite a bit better than in that first IGN Japan video. I just hope they realize that having the same lines on loop sounds kinda dumb and tone it down some.

Hey, if it's good enough for Xenoblade...

[robdood]

Hard to tell how good its going to be in the main but the aesthetic is bang on for me.  The mixed media usage is great! There's defo an 80s nostalgia there that I love

[Benny]

So far it's looking more like an Edge 7, but what we really want is an Edge 6.

[Kayin Amoh]

 

Screen's a little small, but here's them talking about the game some. Nothing majorly new I didn't know before, but some of those executions are pretty great. Big fan of the grenade / cartwheel combo at 17:05.

Yes please. 

[Windowlicker]

It would be rude to say no after that.

[Wiper]

This continues to look like an unreleased original Xbox game, inexplicably glossed up to current-gen (or at least last-gen) tech. Which is to say it continues to look very appealing.

[teddymeow]

That. Looks. Bonkers!!!

 

I'm in.

 

Bonus points for having a ginger cat in it.
