I actually like that soundtrack.
It reminds me of......FUCKING CHRIST
JET SET RADIO IS MAKING A FUCKING COMEBACK. I CALLED IT.
Also that is the kind of rap that makes the atmosphere of the game better. As Daxelman pointed out, Jet Set Radio is back, in awesome form.
Also should I ever have children (heaven forbid), I'm naming my first son Herr Frederick von Twirlenkiller.
Second, Daxel is correct. MSI and that game would be a perfect pair.
Look fantastic, cannot wait.
May actually have to hook up the Wii now, you know, just to make sure it still works :)
i fear this has the NMH plague all over it.
REDICULOUSLY good style, art design, and aesthetics.
but a lackluster gameplay.
This is reserved for a day one buy, but I'll watch it very closely to see if it lives up to the hype and need of core titles. If anthing its a rent or craigslist buy of course.
I'm tired of games that are violent for violent's sake. I'm not 14 anymore. The art style is cool although it's being wasted completely by the game itself.
To me "Wii's ignoring the core gamer" has nothing to do with games not being violent enough. I consider Braid to be a game built for the core and there's not a drop of blood in it. The game deserves appreciation and that's the key to me.
That's a good point, but can you think of any other type of game this art style would not look out of place in?
First of all I've been a legit gamer since I was 6....and now i'm 8.
..but seriously i'm 22. i've played it all. And know my brawlers/beat-em-ups/hack-and-slash.
I agree with you the boss battles were great. yes. I did have fun times throughout the game. But it was extremely bogged down with the other half of gameplay - the open world feature. It was worth the rental.
It was not worth the amount of jizz games spewed prior to the game though.
I really am just tired of getting super excited and the game fails to deliver.
You can have your moment, be hyped. I just know i'm more weary now. As much as i'm not a fan to IGNs reviews, It deserved their 7.8.
NMH was beautiful. gorgeous art direction. but like I said the gameplay was flawed...with pretty good fighting within the game. ( gameplay takes everything into account though)
@ Mr.B natural - you make a good point, violence should not dictate the "hardcore-ness" of the game. we're not 14 anymore ;-)
I'll agree that the presence of blood alone should not determine the "hard-core" factor of a game as its easy to have a silly non-serious game with lots of blood. Still though, you won't find me running around calling people who like Mario games, 10 year olds. Stop with the labeling already.
Blood has lost it's flavor anyways. It was a big deal in MK1, now I could have an old fashioned book burning with all the games that include blood.
You're projecting. I wasn't talking to you or anybody.
And I obviously wasn't talking about physical age either...I was talking about maturity level ala hardcore gamers whining about kiddy games. This is just as immature as a game like mario...maybe even more so.
And to continue, this game appears to be just a "silly non-serious game with lots of blood" as you stated. This isn't No Country for Old Men and Children of Men (aka No Country for Old Children of Men) violence with direction and purpose...it's violent porn with absolutely zero substance. And yet people are claiming this as the dawn of hardcore games on the Wii. It's a head scratcher for me, personally. Bad taste and respect don't mix. That's all I'm saying.
That bit at the start where he jumps the motorbike off the crane, I want more of that in my games!!
@WutDaHeckMan - Not offended at all, just saying that it would be silly to call people 14 year olds for liking violence, but thats not what was meant. I was just making sure :)
That's a better point. I consider shmups to be hardcore in the same sense that FPS fans consider their favorite games to be hardcore, but only one of those is normally considered needlessly violent and bloody (Cave's ESP series notwithstanding). As for me, though, I like violence for the sake of violence up to a certain limit. I mean, I saw the new Rambo movie and this trailer doesn't even come close to that.
Now that I think about it, this looks like it could be a surrogate Crackdown for Wii owners.
This though, this, I want the soundtrack.
Good guitar, good trumpet parts, plus the lyrics actually ryhme and have a bit of a rythem.
Sega has always done good in the music department. Sometimes rather badly, but theres always atleast one song per Sega game that I enjoy throughly.
The gameplay looks good too, though a little slow and stiff at times.
Definitly a game I'm gona pick up day one.
I hope it has some pre-order insentive.
Like some mad world toilet paper, or an audio CD with some of that music on it. A small comic in the manual would be good too. Kinda like F-zero had. Just bloody and awesome.
