Something about the cinematic portions of this game remind me of Xavier: Renegade Angel. I'll probably wait for a review on this one.
Yeah, I didn't think it would take very long for this to make it to the round-eye market, although I'm surprised Europe is going to be getting it two months later than North America. The Japanese demo was entirely in English.
Yep. Buying it. Been watching since its reveal and I only want it more and more. Even if the game isn't fantastic, gameplay wise, I want to support the kind of steps it's taking, design wise, as much as possible.
Also, has anyone heard about the weapons system? I'd read that there are only three available weapons in the game, and with a one-button combat system and no upgrades in the demo, that could get old really quick.
Still, I've felt compelled to continually boot up the demo over the last few weeks. The artistic style and subject matter are unlike anything I've seen attempted in videogames thus far, and for those reasons alone I'll likely be purchasing a copy.

I think there are more than one weapon. And I also recall reading somewhere that the game auto levels your character depending on your playing still.

That's why I was wondering what the purpose of the orange orbs are in this game. If they go toward upgrading weapons and such, that would be fine, but if combat and weapons don't progress at all throughout the game, and if the initial combos remain stagnant in their variety, then it would seem that there is serious potential for the combat to get stale pretty early on. I'm only worried about it because I remember the developer's mantra being "simplicity" when talking about this game.

What a nice surprise, and so soon too. I didn't think it was out of the question for this to come to the US, but I suspected it might take a while. July 26 is pretty damn quick.
I've been playing the demo lately too, and it is hard. As balls. I'm just not starting to get it down and I can't wait to play more when it gets here. Also does anyone know if this is a download or a retail title?

You know, I really like the game, but I just wish they had included a lock on in the battle system. If they did that, the game would be much better for me. Don't get me wrong, the game is still very playable without a lock-on, but it would be even more playable with a lock-on. At the very least, I will at least rent it, because the game is very solid.
Yeah that Gaga comment was kinda annoying, they shouldn't have used it for this trailer. It really had nothing to do with anything, it's kinda a slap in the face to the creators. "You know that highly unique game you've spend the last couple of years making, it looks like something this celebrity would have made."
What a curious comment to use. I mean, I don't see "average Lady Gaga fan" as the target demographic for this game. Regardless, game looks beautiful and full of delicious potential. Can't wait to play it.
I think whoever put that lady gaga quote in should be punched in the face. Otherwise it looks great.
I'm officially Sold!
Japanese Games I'm getting this year:
- Shadows of the Damned (Should definitely get a Demo after E3)
- Catherine (Demo was great + weird...I want to try something very different!)
- El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron (Demo was great and ohh the art style!)
- Dark Souls (The latest trailer and From Software pedigree is more than enough)
These four games put a bit of my faith back into the future of Japan's Game Development, not to count how excited I'm for getting the MGS HD Collection on the 360!

I played the demo when it first came out on PSN and I can confirm the gameplay is fucking great. I'm so hyped I'm considering writing an email thanking them for bringing it over...it's like I'm a little kid again or something.
I was thinking I might get to play this at PAX, looks like I won't have to wait that long. I'm with fetusmilk: LOSE THE LADY GAGA REFERENCE/QUOTE, IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP SELL THIS GAME!!!
I hope this sell really well,it deseves to.
@D4rth Man7iz Yeah it really seems Japanese devs are making a comeback (they never really went away for me personally) and I hope these games sell well over here.
If anything its the western AAA game industry that is in a state of stagnation as all they seem to make is fucking FPS games
The later european release is shitty but atleast it is be sold as so many Japanese games only get localised in the US. (Altus, NIS, Xseed, Aksys)

''it's as if lady gaga made a game''
if they are trying to sell me on it being original and artistic
best not explain it through an un-original mediocre musician who relies heavily on her dead-eyed marketing team and lazily designed costumes
I really think El shaddai could be more than that
