Quantcast



Ninja Theory's Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is looking like some fun times. You play as a dude who beats up robots with a stick. Give him the stick. DON'T GIVE HIM THE STICK! So yeah, giant sticks. Neat. Jim loved the game a lot when he played it at E3 so that's good to know.

The footage above is a collection of different scenes where the main character is breaking apart various robots. It got me thinking, why is the core component of a robot in the head? The head is always the easiest part of a robot to destroy. Why not put the AI in the chest? Or somewhere that no one would expect. Like the toe. Do robots have toes?

You're not my dad. OOOOHHHHH!!!

Why do my ears poke up when I hear the words "beat robots with sticks"?

I sure hope they get rid of or give an option to turn off that annoying throbbing glow around all the various climbable bits of scenery. Stuff like that tends to pull me out of a game. That kinda silliness needs to go the way of floating health packs and weapons.

Hell, I'm not asking for total realism obviously, considering the game in question but, they may as well have a sign hovering over every branch and pipe saying "Jump here, dummy!"

Game looks like the bees tits though, regardless.

This isn't journey to the west until i see him pulling out hairs that he blows at his enemies that generate clones of himself. All of which fight.

So if the Prince of Persia looked like Jak and trained with Kilik, then suddenly found himself in Ico's castle fighting Ratchet's enemies . . .

SOLD.

The hoverboarding reminds me of Jak 3. The combat reminds me of God of War. That's one great combination right there.

I was thinking this was going to be similar to Heavenly Sword, but it sort of reminds me a lot of Beyond Good and Evil.

Just keeps looking better and better. Admittedly, I do hope they throw in some more Journey to the West references though.

I dunno - the Monkey King's supposed to be more of a trickster-type character, but this guy looks like he got lost on his way to Gears of War.

Oh god I hope the combat is better than God of War's, those games are abysmal.
