El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron E3 Trailer

" I like the art style. It also seems to have a combination of exploration, action, and side scrolling platforming. But what system is is for? my guess is the Wii "

" I just had Japanese overload "

Pretty art style, but the action looks bad.
Then again, it's still a work in progress.
 
Also, boring and bad edited trailer. DIdn't have to be this long to convey the information presented.

Insanely trippy and wicked art style. The backdrops look cool, but hopefully they'll be more engaging. Same goes for the combat... and everything else. Guess we have to wait for more info. Is Enoch wearing jeans under his armor?

If he's actually supposed to be an angel, then he's (ve's?) probably intentionally  androgynous.     The art style looks interesting, although I'm a bit confused about the context- maybe it's supposed to be a mystical pre-human version of Earth?  In any case, it's nice to see something based loosely on Judeo-Christian mythology as opposed to the usual Norse-derived Tolkeinesque European fantasy setting.  I actually think Indian/Hindu mythology would make for interesting visuals as well, hopefully we'll see that someday (we've already got things like Muramasa and Okami for Japanese mythology and folklore). I'm mostly only familiar with Ignition as a publisher/localizer for semi-obscure Japanese titles, but I guess they've formed an actual internal development studio as well now.

Whoa! Interesting. Going to keep an eye on this.  

Totally getting a TRON vibe from this.  
 
It's a very pretty looking game, but I see no gameplay hook I'm interested in. It just looks like another action game. Excited to see more though.

That was completely bonkers.

Wow - art and a half!  Here's hoping for gameplay as good as Bayonetta...

This game looks so completely Japanese they might as well replace Godzilla with it as their global contribution to visual entertainment! But damn if it isn't pretty and I desperately want to know more!

I just had Japanese overload

Looks to be keeping in tradition with Ignitions most recent releases. And that is, regardless of the final game play, this is a gorgeous looking game.

This game looks incredible and concidering the talent behind the game it will most likely be great. but his is the WORST. TRAILER. EVER.

Wow, beautiful art style...

Is Enoch a man or woman??? wth?

 the go-to guy if God wants to speak to you without exploding your head. Basically heavens Media Liason dude.  "  

That is the whitest thing I've ever seen.

This looks like the video game equiv of a Tarsem film.

It might just be me, but this reminds me of X Blades...

fun and beautiful artwork... 
Weird plot & music... 
Is Enoch a man or woman??? wth?

Looks good!

Being a Christian, the title got my attention. I really like the art style (looking past the metrosexual types), but the story seems sorta out there, absolutely unbiblical despite it's attempt to sound spiritual.

oh man,the guys who made the bridge running part must have been trippin balls.

So they've finally just gone and put tits on their male leads now? Guess they've been heading that way for a while.

I can't tell what this game is supposed to be.  
RPG? Fighter? Platformer? Maybe all three. 
 I guess we'll just have to wait and see. 
 
Read aloud, it's poetry. 

This is awesome. No not the game, the trailer. When was the last time we saw a straight up "We didn't do any VO work in english before showing you this" trailer? FF13? So nostalgic.

Very nice o.o

Very unique art style. I'm going to keep an eye on this game, see where it ends up.

Nonsensical title and game but looks cool.

Why wear that shirt if you don't have a tramp stamp?

Neat, however the main character looks a bit gay

I'm pretty sure that thing at the end said "It's been a while, Enoch" not "Enoch, what brings you here."
 
Looks interesting. Enoch's outfit looks terrible though.

this game looks pretty good.

Hmmm interesting

If people think this is blasphemous never look at the plot of the original SMT

blasphemous much?

Surreal. This could be interesting.

" dude, as a jew this is weird. The title of this game entirely consists of stuff that you're not allowed to say... "

Wow, that sounds almost Radical Islam level of restriction (No offense to the less radial of those out there.) You aren't allowed to name the voice of God, Metatron (Not very familiar with him in my faith)? Or God himself? As a lapsed Christian, I see that as odd. Even though Christianity worships and adores Him, we are allowed to fully mention His name. The only name unpronouncable is His true name, which is mentioned, but not written down, in Revalations.(But that's only because no one can comprehend or physically say it; kind of a Lovecraftian feeling thing, really.) /Bible School Minute "

Combat looks like it'll get repetitive really fast.  I wish
I could understand what the fuck they were saying. Is
this coming the US?
 
I'll add this to the "maybe" list til I hear more about 
it. It'll probably have some serious fatal flaw that a 
lot of Japanese games seem to pump out over the last
few years.

" Looks fantastic!  Man that main character looks like Val Kilmer. "

Is the protagonist male or female?

Looks fantastic!
 
Man that main character looks like Val Kilmer.

Very cool look. I'm not too hip on it's religious references, but this all sounds interesting. But why the dude with boobs?

" I am so confused about who is making this. The video claims that it's by the makes of Devil May Cry and Viewtiful joe, but Hideki Kimiya made those games. He works at platinum games, not Ignition. I suppose it is refering to the makers of Devil May Cry 2-4 and Viewtiful Joe 2, but these guys work at capcom. Even if they did split and do work for Ignition, Ignition said that they were done with making orignal Ip's for a while because their last ones did poor in sales. This game is one big mystery to me. "

About time we got something with this art style. I'm kinda iffy on the combat, though.
