Like the art design and the combat might be good. Wonder if it will be any good.

Enoch is pretty cool, I didn't think someone would make a game with him. I always thought it was cooler in movie format.  
That second suit of armor doesn't really protect anything.

any news as to what formats this may come too outside of Japan. I'm really getting into the art style but not sure about the sparceness of the backgrounds if this is on the HD twins.

Which is a shame, because, they are horrible localizers.  
 
We just lucked out on Deadly Premonition, the voice acting and general script was handled  by the original developers.
 
All ignition had to take care of was the textboxes. We all know how those turned out....

There's a short piece in the new Edge on this, it looks... odd.  Very pretty though.

Yup.  This game looks great, visually. But what the fuck where they smoking when they came up with the main character's design? it look horrendous. "
I think he looks perty, also seems like a warm and likeable person,the armor looks a little weird at places though. "
It looks like toilet paper wrapped around his body:P

This is also how I imagine a  next-gen Shin Megami Tensei would look. Man, the art is good.

I can't say if it'll be any fun to play, but this game has some fascinating art direction.

I'll start taking bets on how much sacrilege will be in this game. Still trying to think of a reasonable starting point for an over under, seems like there will be a lot of it.

So this plays like Bayonetta?  Seems like an odd game in a good way.  Graphics shoot from being really impressive to looking to like a PSP game though.

Really don't understand why he upgraded the armor to restart that fight when he didn't get hit or need the extra armor.
