The prudish Nick Chester first informed us of X-Blades, a new action title from Southpeak Games due for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Main character Ayumi is still as bare skinned as ever, with the kind of carefully draped rags that a pervert could merely wish away.
Southpeak Games promises "beautiful animation" and "relentless, high speed gameplay" involving the use of Ayumi's pistol blades and magical spells. There will also be anime cutscenes, which you can't sniff at, really.
X-Blades is looking and sounding like a very standard action game, but that's fine by me. I'm always up for some generic third person exploration and combat, which is why I've been keeping an eye on X-Blades. I don't expect it to revolutionize the gaming industry, but if it delivers a solid experience, I really couldn't care much for desperate attempts at "innovation."

Well... I hate the face!
It seems like she doesn't have eyebrows. And her overall face seems to be in need of a fix.
The models (herself, and enemy) lacks "next-gen" feel to it. Or more precisely, a "Current-gen" feel to it? :P
That goes double for the background. Looks muddy. And I hate the interface. Bleh!
If its an early build, I do hope they polish up that kinda stuff. It doesn't look up to snuff against the "current" games in this genre.
I'm generally cool with okay graphics, I'm not much of a graphics whore, but this game pulls all the wrong strings.

Seriously, I still say the level modeler and the character modeler were working in different projects.

If your gonna go that route give her blue hair. I cant get enough of women with blue hair. Anorexic women with blue hair. It shows they care.

Clearly all the clothes are off the CHARACTER'S body because they're being used to cover up the fact that the GAME is ugly.
... At least, that's the only theory I can come up with.

BTW. Some of the site may be NSFW. Seeing how they don't mind the blatant sexualizing of Ayumi. or raep...
