I don't get it... Is the woman at the end a cyborg of full robot. And if she is full robot, why the human image? weird!!
Still, even if it turns out to be a by-the-book, generic squad based shooter, it may be interesting from a story point of view to be playing as "the bad guys" fighting against the status quo though technically, lots of games have dones something similar. FFXIII, for example (shame the story and game were crap)

I was watching this and thinking 'oh this is terrible'. Then they stopped showing the three bulletproof retards fighting and switched to the utopia bit, and I got interested. The robot midwife thing really piqued my interest, but given that it's a game, it will probably consist largely of Meathead A, Meathead B and Bodysuit Girl throwing terrible banter at one another. Shame. We'll see how it turns out; could be awesome.
This game looks like complete shit from a graphical perspective. And graphics don't mean everything to me (love No More Heroes 2, Epic Mickey, Wind Waker, etc) but art and style do. This game feels like its running on an upgraded Time Crisis arcade engine. God it just looks bland as hell.
No More Heroes 2, Epic Mickey, Wind Waker,
Are these supposed to be examples of bad looking games?
Because stylised art styles of those games are pretty much timeless in comparison.

Yup, incredible bad art direction. I mean... really bad. Story is the only thing it's got going for it but being a shooter and all, I bet I know how it's gonna be told. And oh, the graphical style...
everything's a meh...also, i find it a bit sexist that they only gave the girl a handgun with one, two magazines. but okay, i'm watching, i'm interested how'll this turn out. :)
One video released.
Shit on entire game.
Speculate details.
Fucking internet negativity.
This game may have some really cool play mechanics or a killer twist half way through but it's much cooler to just flame the game than post something funny and positive.

At first I was -_-

So, at least the premise hold potential.

What was the last Japanese developer "Western style" Gears clone shooter that came out?
Honestly I can't even remember. Either way it did terrible. As I said in that thread, I wish Eastern developers stopped trying to emulate the west and just acted like themselves. Bayonetta - NMH - Demon's Souls - all Eastern games that still broke the American bank.

@BigMoose I was gonna say "touchè" but I just remembered that Epic Yawn sucked and deserved to flop.
How could you like NSMB Wii and not like Epic Yarn? Both are extremely simple, bare bones platformers.
And by that I mean both are excellent.
Not every game needs to be Vanquish - especially since I play with my wife a lot, and both aforementioned Nintendo games are multiplayer and s imple - right up her alley.

wow so it's a terminator game with really annoying protagonists...
hmm the robots don't look as menacing as they should...
okay the big one is nice...
OH MY GOD SHE'S NAKED FROM THE WAIST DOWN!!! WHAT A TWIST!!!

Hmmm I find it harder and harder to get excited by Sega games :( Sad but true. I hope they surprise me though.This goes double for the stories in there games. These are the people who brought us House of the Dead, lest we forget.
Also
Magnalon - "...especially since I play with my wife a lot" lol :]

I hope this game is sucessful for Sega's sake I think they really deserve some good luck. So wish you all the best Sega :)
@Magnalon Epic Yawn is a Kirby game in name only. No sucking abilities =/= Kirby game and the relative ease of the title did nothing to swing my favor.
Please Japan, stop making these games for us. We appreciate the fact you're trying to appeal to us...
But just stop.
But just stop.
@Everyone who is bad-mouthing Kirby's Epic Yarn
Yeah, why would you want to play a unique, visually interesting game with a feel-good play style when you can play shitty 3rd Person Shooter #127 in the video above? Idiots. Sorry, but you guys just failed. Hard.

I am SO FUCKING PUMPED. I love everything Toshihiro Nagoshi does, and this looks to incorporate his story telling magic into the shooter formula. GIMME GIMME GIMME
Umm actually NO, it does not look interesting and I happen to be a huge Sega fan. It looks like a another terrible cliched failure of a game by Japanese developers to get a sliver of the FPS pie baked in the U.S.
Things we Westerners like:
Token Black guys - Seriously, get this guy some fried chicken and some "Hell nawww"'s
Dumb women sidekicks - bringing a pistol to an automatic fight, running out of bullets after 2 shots. Plus, she is surely to fall once or twice during a chase scene.
Super cool Main characters that do cool shit - "Lets use that scene from Transformers, where the guy slides under the robot, they loved that movie!" As opposed to shooting the bastard, that's a couple of feet away.
Enemies that can't shoot - Seriously, why did the second robot that was 3 feet away from sliding hero wait for him to get up, shoot the first robot, and then wait to get shot? I guess those are only T-1000 models.

It's not the graphics that bother me, it's the animation and design. It's stiff, and lifeless. The characters are uninspired, opting for the general cliches of skinny strong white man for the leader, comical black man for the sidekick, and the athletic skintight bodysuit chick to inject some sex appeal.
The robot designs have promise... well the big one did anyway.
I don't know. If it's taken in the right direction with some new characters and focuses on it's story, it could be a really interesting game, rather than just another shooter. But I guess we'll have to wait and see before we pass final judgement.

This seems to be heavily influenced by Metropolis (both Fritz Lang and Katsuhiro Otomo versions) which rocks!
If Japanese devs are so dead set on making "western-style" games, they should really just spend the extra $10-$20K and hire actual western writers.
It's painfully obvious in these types of games that the writers are standing outside the culture and trying to imitate it, and the end result just makes the game look absurd, even if it has some cool ideas that might otherwise have been intriguing. You just can't take it seriously.
I'm not even in favor of this trend, but if you're going to do it, get a talented western writer onboard, and have them involved right from the start.

FOO. I want this, this is very interesting despite the funny dialogue. I hope the game doesn't take itself too seriously as far as the characters are concerned. Like Deadly Premonitions, funny (if not awkward)characters, great plot.
This just doesn't look good. The big reveal at the end was eye roll-worthy. I got my fill of heavy-handed japanese storytelling in MGS4. And why is Mr. T a squadmate?
@Mattrodroid I'm neither American or a kid and it doesnt float my boat.
After reading the set up I was forgiving of the cheesiness of the 1st part of the video as I thought they were aiming to look cliched to make the big twist more surprising, but it seems the cheesiness is actually their attempt at actual coolness =/

So becouse the hero or gameplay is sleightly changed it changes the entire game...
Well... Mario kart certainly is a mario game despite of the fact that you dont jump on goombas. no?

wow i just noticed the negativity of you guys. "art looks bad waaah". Has no one here lived in the 90's? this looks better than reboot, so be thankful you get that! and while the characters are very stereotypical, I believe that they can become funny and endearing in time. Also, the fact that no bullets hit these guys only adds to the over the top sense of B movie feeling that I get from this... have you guys ever enjoyed a B movie? do yourself a favor and rent "They Live". One liners, slightly cheesy acting, cheap sets and effects all put to good use. a 10 minute fight scene over a pair of sunglasses. It's where the line "I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum" came from.
Sega just give me Phantasy Star Online 2 that is all.

Since you bitch about Kirby Epic Yarn so much tell us your opinion on Kirby Tilt n' Tumble and Kirby's Canvas Curse.

The premise seems interesting. But I agree with with whoever said that the art direction is lacking.
@XakorXD Epic Yawn is a radical change. It takes all that we know Kirby for any throws it away for insipid cuteness and gameplay.
Mario Kart is Mario Kart.
Mario Kart is Mario Kart.
Wow, those robots have some truly horrible aim. And ill have to agree with everything WesternGamer1000 said.
Im still going to stay cautiously optimistic, because the Yakuza dude is behind this game.

You sir are exactly right.
This trailer was kinda plain. I was hoping Shinobi and his dog would drop in there and shake things up. I miss Shinobi.

@Dv8thwonder, and why should that be a problem? many games before Kirby have altered their "reknown" mechanic or gimmic. and sometimes those turned out for the greater good? Change is'nt allways a bad thing you know ;)
It does look very by the books., Gears meets iRobot atleast from the tone. Heck they even have their own Cole Train.
However I'll reserve judgement as far as the game goes till I actually see gameplay footage.

@Seph N These are both excellent examples of slightly changing the gameplay mechanics of Kirby done right. The both offer a surprising amount of challenge (not through collect-a-thons) and a deep sense of accomplishment throughout.
The same cannot be said of Epic Yawn which does nothing right but the controls.
@XakorXD It is when a 2-D 1st party title made by Nintendo can't even match sales of a 3-D Sonic game.

-White guy
-Black guy
-Acrobatic girl
-Fighting a lot of enemies that look the same except for the boss who is taller
-Takes place on the street
It's confirmed to be a Streets of Rage sequel.

Well you may dismiss it, but the music, graphics, and game play were all good in my opinion. Considering that we live in a world where game devs only seem to want their games in ultra-realistic, anime inspired, or cell shading. Kirby Epic Yarn is a breath of fresh air.
@Davoidbot
I'd kill for a new streets of rage game!
