Hype building

Akuma's brother?

#6 Posted by ProfessorK (547 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I'm looking forward to this, it reminds me of something Clover/Platinum Games would make.

Looks better than the DmC shite!

#8 Posted by KillyDarko (1886 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I really dig the art style, but other than that, all that I've seen from the game so far hasn't gotten me interested one bit...

#9 Posted by endaround (2042 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Kratos thinks this guy has anger issues

YOUR ATTACKS CANNOT HARM ME!  I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH! 
Sadly... the gameplay they showed here is... not much.  I want to see some of the banana-ness in-game!

"Who do you think YOU ARE?!" Totally cliche anime phrase.

#12 Posted by MisterMouse (3495 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I hope he can attack while he is cut in half... that would be awesome.

#13 Posted by Grainbrain (13 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I find this game interesting enough to see how it turns out, just wish for more actual gameplay videos.
Not diggin the english voice acting tho, also wondering how the original sounds.

#14 Posted by Metalman781 (66 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Is this supposed to be like another Darksider game

#15 Posted by kollay (1818 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Sounds like the same dude who voiced Nier.

#16 Posted by Fyrecroe (29 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I will never not call this game God Hands of War.  
 
Digging the look, will likely play the game in Japanese with subtitles if available.

#17 Posted by teh_destroyer (3485 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I can make rage die.

#18 Posted by Jeffsekai (6948 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Yes please.

#19 Posted by Thordain (959 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

It's always nice when interns make headers because then I can expect more pokemon lines.

His name is Liam O'brien, he played War in Darksiders too.  No surprise he's done a lot of anime work same as Steve Blum, he's really good at being the "emotionally broken" hero/anti hero, does a lot of sighing and moaning lol.
#21 Posted by Jethuty (1023 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Yes. just yes.

The gameplay.

eh.

#22 Edited by Yummylee (18154 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Liam O'Brien and what sounds like Robin Atkin Downes? I'm already liking the voice talent they've hired.

#23 Posted by BraveToaster (12588 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Uh want!

#24 Posted by Wandrecanada (345 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

God of War: Japan?

#25 Posted by Myomoto (309 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Hm. I liked the Japanese voice over better :<

#26 Posted by Tesla (1523 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I've been a believer ever since the first trailer months ago, but this game looks better and better every time I see it.

#27 Posted by Apollo87 (142 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I think that dude's not really having a very good day.

Mash A to headbutt

@Abyssfull: I'm almost positive that's DC Douglas.

...I can definitely hear him in there. It was that emphasized after-breath (pretty sure that's even an actual term, but it's the closest way I could think to describe it) after every last word of every line that had me assume it was Downes. So used to hearing D.C Douglas with his deeper Wesker voice that it was difficult to imagine him with any other style of voice.
#32 Posted by RVonE (4037 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I hope the no-arms-headbutting mechanic is good.

#33 Posted by Brodehouse (7121 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago
@Abyssfull: Yeah, on some of his more angry lines he sounds like a higher pitched Wesker.  I've seen DC Douglas shift from his normal speaking voice to Wesker and Wesker is way, way quieter, I guess in order for him to fry his vocal cords and get rumbly sounding.
#34 Posted by kishinfoulux (1224 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I'm interested in this but have the feeling it will end up disappointing. Always nice to see new IP's though.

#35 Edited by Ineedaname (4319 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Typing this before I watch the trailer.

Ima guess the first trailer is still better.

Edit: It was actually still really interesting. Hmm story seems weirdly different, in a good way.

#36 Posted by JackSukeru (5149 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Look ma', no hands!

#37 Posted by cowdrunk (241 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

now with slightly less enthusiastic english voice acting
#38 Posted by Xpgamer7 (2259 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

HOW MANY PIECES CAN YOU SPLIT HIM INTO?!?!?!

#39 Posted by MentalDisruption (1325 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

He'll be alright. It's only a flesh wound.

#40 Posted by Klaimore (927 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I like everything I see so far but if this game doesn't let me switch to Japanese VO I don't think I'll buy this game.

#41 Posted by captainawesomo (181 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

God of War meets Okami?

#42 Posted by Do_The_Manta_Ray (327 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Hey, lovely; a japanese version of Soul Reaver; a plain swap of mythology from western to eastern, and you've got yourself a brand new title.

To be fair; it does look over the top crazy; and I really, really enjoy all the rage steaming from the main character. Too often do we get a "cool" stereotypical protagonist whose emotions all stem from the same palette of a goody-two-shoes with an attitude thrown in, just because.

Now, this guy... He's fucking pissed! And rather than say, the collected, calculated brutality of Kratos, he really does seem mentally unstable in his agression. Me likes. Though it seems japanese voice-overs is a must.

#43 Edited by Abram03 (36 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Oh my god, this looks so cool!  I can see the Roger Zelazny influence, big time!  Great science fiction/fantasy writer, wrote lots of stories about godlings who rise from banishment or even death to shake the self-satisfied angels from the heavens.  Anybody who likes sci-fi/fantasy, take a look at LORD OF LIGHT or the Amber series.

#44 Posted by AntiLion (11 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Bad-guy sounds like DA2's Varrick.

#45 Posted by Abram03 (36 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

One thing I really want to know about this game is how the interactive cinematics they've been talking about work.  Supposedly, it's a lot more controllable than QTE.  Whatever the case, hope it plays as great as it looks.

#46 Posted by spilledmilkfactory (1647 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Still pretty interested in this, just based on the weird premise alone

#47 Posted by geirr (1683 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Did I see a buddha statue dual-wielding chain guns in there?

#48 Posted by jkuc316 (981 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Finally, a hack-n'-slash without the hack-n'-slash!

#49 Posted by Winternet (7337 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Is the game going to be anime?

#50 Edited by MeatSim (9299 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Rage never dies could be a tagline for RAGE too.
