    Knowing the individuals involved, how could anyone not be? The trailer didn't blow me away per se, but it had a punky sense of style and I'm sure they can execute it well.

    That is not a Suda 51 game, and as it was stated in the other thread...I'm nothing but disappoint from this. 
     
    Suda 51 is known for making mind fuck games, that contain the most adult violence, rape, child abuse, sex, and language.  This is nothing more than another shooter, something Suda 51 tries to not do. 
     
    I'm tired of this shit.  I want the old Suda back that made killer7, Michigan, Silver Case, and Contact.

    He has a participation in it, and as so a word about the development and contents of the game. It doesn't look too hot for me, but it is nowadays hard to find new and enticing games from the premise. Still there are great games being launched. :p

    Looks like another shooter. I did dig the music, though.

    Not quite what I was expecting, but I'm interested, to say the least.

    I'm excited for the soundtrack, but the game itself looked uninteresting.

    Im excited in theory, trailer didn't do much for me. If Im being honest, what Suda brings to the table does nothing for me.

    Fuck yeah Resident evil combined with Silent hill, with the insanity of Suda 51.
    The only thing that would more awesome is if Swery 65 was working on it too.

    Shinji Mikami didn't make Okami. 
     
    But anyway, the game looks looks awesome. Suda51, while perfectly capable of producing conceptually and aesthetically stylish, quirky stuff, is clueless when it comes to actual game design, but with Mikami on the project, I'm thinking this'll be absolutely amazing. The trailer make it look kind of like like Resident Evil 4 meets Devil May Cry.

    I've never had problems with his game design.  He does it to make it artistic and to make a point.  I think he might be the best game designer because of this.

    I corrected it. ^^  

    Yeah, with a scent of Grindhouse. :p

    Yes, and I suppose if the guys behind Big Rigs came out and said they made it a buggy, unplayable mess to make a point about buggy, unplayable messes, they would be the greatest developers in the world, too.

    No: shitty game design is shitty game design. A person who makes a shitty game and says he made it shitty to make a point about shitty game design is nothing more than a shitty developer coming up with shitty excuses for being shitty.

    I think the characters look pretty Suda-esque. The action looks Mikami-esque. And assuming the music in the trailer is from Akira Yamaoka, this looks like it'll be pretty awesome. 
     
    It also sure as hell looks better than the new DMC game. If they had turned Dante into this Spanish bad-ass instead of that crack-fiend guy, then I probably wouldn't be as upset.

    how can you be dissapointed already?
    It's not because it's a shoter that it will be like other shooters. Look at Vanquish.
    Well considering the partnership with EA it will probably be aimed a bit more at mainstream than their other games but it will definitely please the hardcore gamers and fans of suda and mikami.
    I loved the Vanquish demo and preordered the game. I usually don't enjoy third person shooters (besides splinter cell but it doesn't play like other, regular TPS's).
    btw, resident evil is also a shooter and isn't that what shinji mikami is known for (am not really fond of RE)
    EA has been making some awesome games lately, I'm regaining faith in them.
     
    btw, I'm a psychic and can predict future so you must believe everything I say for 100%.
     
    SeriouslyNow, you don't sound very mature for a 30+yo.
