She hasn't put clothes on yet: New X-Blades screenshots

She hasn't put clothes on yet: New X-Blades screenshots photo
     Xbox 360

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."

The name constantly making me think of some sort of Extreme Ice Skating..I just can't read it is as "Cross-Blades" which I'm hoping they're intending it to be..It doesn't look that great but these crazy Russian games sometimes turn out unique.

Now if this was a Japanese game she'd have a mini-skirt and plenty of opportunity for players to look up that mini-skirt.

I'm with lucbernard...

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.

If you are in mid-fap, here is a cure: imagine her as a furry.

Generic name for generic game with generic scenario and manga characters.
Seriously, I still say the level modeler and the character modeler were working in different projects.

As I said earlier, generic character design with generic name. Big meh. Even if this game did come from Japanese people (which it doesnt) my opinions wouldnt change.

I'm calling fail on this early. Doesn't look like it appeals to me really. C'mon Two Worlds..Monster Madness? I just can't be convinced.

See! this is why women are always starving themselves, trying to fit into a backwards society's beautiful image.

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.

Ridiculous outfit is ridiculous.

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.

Minimal effort is minimal

Also. Screenshots

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

(note: last two links? not safe at all)
