Konami's NeverDead is out at the end of the month, and there's a bunch of new art and screenshots to celebrate. Seems like the game's been in development for fifteen thousand years, so I'm glad to see it finally on the horizon.
NeverDead is a ridiculous game about demons and an immortal protagonist who will physically degenerate with every hit he takes. At their weakest, players will be nothing but a head, rolling around and attempting to regroup. That seems pretty tame, however, compared to the messed up monsters he'll be righting.
I'm tentatively looking forward to it. Games like this are almost always surprising gems or under-funded disappointments. Really hoping we've got the former on our hands.

Scratch this as yet another Japanese game im looking forward to. The Japanese industry has finally gotten its act together when it comes to the west
Exactly.
Ah so its another Japanese Director working with a British dev team. Ppl tend to have a dim view of Jap-Brit(or US/Can) co developed games with DMC fans moaning about Dante's fucking hair colour. But I generally have a positive view about with all the great EIDOS games weve had last year. Plus Elshaddia.
"Games like this are almost always surprising gems or under-funded disappointments. Really hoping we've got the former on our hands"
I hope Neverdead wont be another El Saddia or the countless other niche games that have bombed in the last couple of years
Normally i don't do his but you got it wrong, 2 different ways.
It's El Shaddai
Looks like it's just trying to give a good first impression to the visual generation we have in games nowdays.
I don't like much the conecept of constant checkpoints, and now they bring imortality! I don't have hopes for this one.
