Day one purchase.

I'm moving to Japan.
 
Bye!

...Of course it is

After Shadows of the Damned, I will buy anything you put in front of me with Suda's name.

So where do I pre-order? :)

great, looks hella creepy.

It looks like an HD No More Heroes game. I'm definitely game for that!  I just hope its as good as No More Heroes 2. This could easily just turn into a monotonous brawler, a la....those Bikini Samurai games from D3? I forgot what they're called.

Oh right, the sequel to Onechanbara.

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.

Do want.

Hope it's better than Shadows.

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

Fans of his niche humor do.

Never change, Suda.

@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.

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

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

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

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

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

@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.

Cheerleader upskirts? fuck I'm sold already.

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

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.

"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!"

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.

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

Read this on Gamasutra.

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

Fucking sold.

I will buy.

Sounds like his least original idea so far.

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.

Must have :)

Holy shit, YES! 

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

Cheerleader with chainsaw, ok... cool

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

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

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

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

He's making an Onechanbara game?

YOU CAN SEE THEIR PANTIES

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

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.
