Check Out The Behemoth's Next Game

I wonder if Game 3 will feature Song 2 on its soundtrack...

The Behemoth has popped out a cool gameplay video and developer walkthrough of one of the new modes in the company's as-yet-untitled next game. It's Game 3's (not its final name) Soul Mode (also not its final name). Look!
            
 
What do you think? I'm looking forward to checking it out at PAX.

all the game play I've seen so far is so.... uninteresting. 
 
I hope the story is funny though. The first trailer really looked sweet

Yeah, looks okay. Hopefully it'll turn out to be the new Mario Bros. I'd like to see more, though. PAX is coming to Australia... uh, right?

Can't be as averagely entertaining as it looks. I expect more castle crashers style humor and a kick ass game, stoked for this

 How many game modes will be there? Hopefully more than 25.

I love Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers but I can't be the only who's skeptical of this game - it looks like just a mix of mini-games like Mario Party. But I trust The Behemoth- as long as it's not over 800 points oh please oh please please.Hopefully this'll come out in 2010.

Looks pretty fun to me, it's a pretty simple mode but I can imagine it being lots of fun online playing with some friends. The art style and animation are as good as the past 2 games, though I'm not sure about the whole everything being made out of squares level design that I've seen in footage of the game so far. I'm sure it's probably linked to a game mechanic of some kind though.

I like the art but I'm not sold on the gameplay so far. Got lots of customization and game modes? Show, don't tell.

Doesn't grab me that much to be honest. All you seem to do is either run away or chase someone. Maybe the other game modes will be more interesting.
 
Either way can't wait for Castle Crashers on PSN.

Doesn't look fun. Just looks like another generic game to go on live. I have yet to see one of those games that look to be anything other then a crappy flash game with nice graphics that they actually have the balls to try to charge me for.

They rehashed the music from the co-op minigame on the Alien Hominid Disc Based game. Lame.

Perhaps as a temporary thing?  I mean the game isn't named, neither is the mode, I am sure music isn't finalized either.
 
Anyway, game looks great and I have a lot of faith in them since Castle Crashers, even with the initial problems that its multiplayer presented, I am sure they learned from that.

Yeah a crappy game with high production values, great and original graphics, and original gameplay!
Wait a second this is the opposite of a bad flash game...

I really want to like The Behemoth, but I honestly can't stand Alien Homonid or Castle Crashers as games. They're really pretty and there's a lot of enthusiasm in the way they're developed, but they just feel shoddily designed and balanced. They feel like nobody playtested them. They'd be fine as a flash game on Newgrounds, but I don't feel like most of what The Behemoth produces is worth actual money.

So it's a competitive Mario?  That doesn't really interest me, maybe I'll just wait the 2 years until the trial is out.

Seems like it's an interesting game.  
And it should be fun, depending on the other modes of course.

Does look appealing to me either.  A Smash Bros with less production values?  Either way it seems to dependent on small MP rounds...

I had a chance to play a little bit of it at Comic-Con where it was first revealed, and at this point I can't really say too much about it.  It felt more like a tech demo than a game demo, but what was there was fun.

To be fair this game is still in development and it's wrong to judge the quality of the game though. 
 
Looks interesting, hopefully will see some more flare though. But the fact that this game currently as no name says a lot for how far they are in development so keep that in mind before folks start mouthing off about it.

I am not psyched for this game even though the first trailer was one of the most awesome displays of awesomeness ever shown.  Hopefully this game is much better than the gameplay I just watched.
