The Next Game From Suda 51 and Akira Yamaoka is...

Screw it, I'm buying this! <3

Mr. 51, here is a blank check. Write anything you want on it, and I will pay it.

When I read "Spiritual Successor to No More Heroes" I flipped.

Tired of zombie games but I wanna see what a Suda zombie game is.

I'm just happy to be hearing more from Akira Yamaoka; and the stupider the game, the more fun he'll probably have.

Is this game really called "Lollipop Chainsaw"? That is AMAZING.

Anyone else get a huge Dreamcast / Sega vibe from this?

This reminds me I need to finish my buddy's copy of No More Heroes and get the sequel.

i no this is going to be a wii game i just no it is arg lol 
any way apart from my wii fear this game is rite up my
street

This is just....man it's been done before. Even if it's Suda and Akira, meh. At least the music should be great.

No. This is stupid. Dick-jokes? Fine. That's not so bad. I'm not into it but it doesn't bother me. But low camera angles and panties? Not fine. That crosses a line for me. I say Japan can keep their creepy sexism. I want none of it in my games and I will stay far away from this one.

"I say! Ironic low-brow humor is fine, but sexuality? In MY video games? Why, sir, I never! How dare you belittle these defenseless video game females, Mr. 'Suda 51?' I'll have you know that I have no intention of purchasing your product due in large part to the egregious crimes you have committed against the art of video games, and my contributions to our common organization will end forthwith. You and your cadre of troublemaking Orientals have forgone the accepted hyper-male norms and have sought to bring your twisted Yellow perceptions of the female form to bear, and I will not stand for it! This is America, sir!"

lmfao fucking classic. dicks dont bother him but panties sure ruffle his feathers.

If you can't see the difference between dick-jokes and outright deliberate voyeurism then we have nothing to discuss.

I do not like the look of this at all.

You're not seeing her panties, you're seeing the gusset of her outfit. You may notice that she's wearing a cheerleading outfit, the skirt is for show not to cover her modesty. And really, you're bent out of shape over the camera angle of a marketing "beauty shot"?

You throw away any pretense of credibility when you compare those shots to Rapelay.

I didn't compare it to RapeLay, I said it was a step towards it...it won't be difficult to find a screenshot from RapeLay with panties. No, I do not know what a "gusset" is, but it sure looks like panties to me. What you think of my credibility is not the point here, I'm not trying to convince you of anything?

My point was that I find the camera angle atrocious because it makes me think of the voyeuristic stuff that comes out of Japan, and that I am not interested in this game because of it.

You can't tell me that how I feel about a game is wrong. I'm not stating fact, I'm telling you how I feel about it. If they choose to market their game with a screenshot like this then naturally I will assume that this won't be the only voyeuristic shot of this cheerleader in this game and that makes me completely uninterested in playing it.

@rebgav said:

What the hell are you talking about? Are you actually not familiar with cheerleaders, nor the ridiculous outfits associated with them?

In other news, dick jokes are one step away from a mouthful at the local bath-house or some other retarded statement of that kind.

Look at the screenshot. Try googling the other screenshots that are out so far. It's not the outfit. It's the camera angle and how it's deliberately up her skirt. Your statement about bath-houses makes no sense to me.

It's that it's so deliberate that makes it atrocious, because what does that mean? They want to show you her panties? They think you want to see her panties? Then read a bunch of the comments to this news article and ask me again what the hell I'm talking about.

This reminds me I need to finish my buddy's copy of No More Heroes and get the sequel.

YOU CAN SEE THEIR PANTIES

He's making an Onechanbara game?

First day buy. Glad to see Yamaoka return too, since I loved SotD's soundtrack.

SKIMPY SKIRTS AND UP ANGLE CAMERA SHOTS= RAPE LAY 
 
I WILL NOW BE OUTRAGED!

Suda's take on Onenchanbara? I'm in.

I'm glad Suda's finally doing something serious with a good emotional story.

Cheerleader with chainsaw, ok... cool

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... that's so predictable.

Holy shit, YES!

Must have :)

I was interested in Shadows Of The Damned to begin with but the humour-style was grating after a while. I was only really into it because of seeing the awesome weird demons they could come up with really. This new game, as ridiculously appropriate as it may be for Suda51, holds so far nothing entirely interesting for me.

Sounds like his least original idea so far.

I will buy.

Read this on Gamasutra.

"Instead of sprays of blood, we have the zombies emitting bursts of pink light," Suda said.

Fucking sold.

I'm shoving my money at my computer screen but nothing is happening. WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING!?

@MindOST said:

Yeah, and next thing you know, they'll have games where you actually kill people! Think of how shocking and horrific THAT would be.

We've already been desensitized to the act of killing in video games because we know they're just games and no one actually dies. You know that's not my point.

Do you find it so weird that I want voyeurism to stay out of the games I play? There's a place for that stuff too, I'm just not interested in it.

I'm not American, and I have nothing against Japan.

I don't consider dick-jokes and upskirt shots to be in the same category, dick-jokes are pretty harmless while actual upskirt shots are creepy. Like I mentioned to that other guy, it's just a step towards RapeLay and other video game atrocities of its kind. I want none of that in my games.

You sound like a silly double-standard holding feminist.

If this game instead had female lingerie-jokes, or if Shadows of the Damned had close ups of Garcia's dick, then you could call me a double-standard holding feminist.

Upskirt shots of girls is creepy. I want none of that in my games. That's a step towards RapeLay or some other video game atrocity of its kind.

@Little_Socrates: I'm expecting it to be very cool, just not neccessarily any good.

Cheerleader upskirts? fuck I'm sold already.

@Bruce said:

@Romination: And it's probably not even enough to pay the bills on all the Anime Girl pillows he buys.

No need to start saying things like he's a lonely man who buys body pillows, he's just a game developer with a great imagination who reminds us of things that we love about Japanese games.

God damn it, now I feel guilty for not buying Shadows of the Damned yet.

The best part is how everyone is so judgmental of the final product based on a handful of screens. Keep it up internet!
 
@Bruce said:

Can this guy go away already? He's making games purely for fans of his niche humor at this point. No one buys them!

I may eat crow on this one, but I have a feeling this game will not be so cool when it comes out.

So they're pretty much making a Highschool Of The Dead game? Shut up and take my money again, Grasshopper!

I expected a name like "Jenny Talia", but Juliet Sterling is okay.

@Nottle said:

@ZarakixKenpachi: That seems like a Boss Character from No More Heroes Holly Summers isn't exactly Travis Touchdown or Garcia Fucking Hotspur.

She reminds me of a less psychotic Bad Girl, more or less. Though to be fair, we don't know how psychotic she is at this point, so maybe she's even crazier. I don't know how she could be crazier than a girl that gleefully smacks around gimps with a bloody baseball bat, but it's possible.

Never change, Suda.
