This is like Japan's version of Saints Row 3, but more classier. Grasshopper, you cool cat, you!

I'm all for Suda's weirdness, and I can tolerate the endless spouting of fourth-wall non-sequiturial bullshit from the mouth of every character, but his "I will kill everything in my path because I want to FUCK THAT GIRL! WOO TITS! Oh, wait, she was actually manipulating me and is really trying to kill me? STILL WANT TO FUCK HER THOUGH!" shtick has worn real thin for me.

The Saints officially decline to comment on the implication that we are less classy, as we are too classy to make a big deal out of it.

my favorite part about that whole trailer is the remixed and slowed down version of Sublime's song Doin' Time.

@swordcery: All his games involving assassins are surprise candidates for GOTY. Wish this one had the Revengeance cutting tech.

@demoskinos: If someone did make those arguments against the game why do you think they'd be precious or overblown?

"It didn't take long to get the moon"

I literally laughed out loud. I just love how all of the sudden they just say that and are suddenly on the moon. The game is nuts and I am sure I won't play it, but it certainly makes for some fun trailers.

I gotta tell ya I thought it was a pretty damn awesome trailer. The art style, music, and the visual of a man in a suit running across the moon hooked me.

I swear I can never tell what parts of this guy's games is meant as a joke, a parody, a satire or a straightfaced attempt at cool.

There would normally be a statement here to say "but I really like them" or something, but nope, I got nothing else. That's it.

I like the part where they are suddenly ON THE FUCKING MOON. More moon assassins, please!

As with every Suda game, I will be playing it, for better or worse. I will fully support any weird ass video games anyone wants to put out (see also: Zeno Clash). Gotta say, I definitely like the art style of this game, at the very least.

Suda is horrible, all his games are the worst with terrible mechanics. I feel like the only reason he gets away with it is because his stories are so incomprehensible that they must be "art".

You know their attempt at titillation might be more effective if the characters werent jaggie saturated blurs. Japan might be used to pixelated porn but I have standards!

I haven't played Shadows or Lollipop yet, but the consensus seems to be that Suda51 has kind of fallen off lately. But this looks very much in the vein of his classics.

What consensus? I played both Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw and enjoyed them both.

I'll stick to Takashi Miike, Yoshihiro Nishimura and Suehiro Maruo for my "Weirdo Japan" stuff.

Funny you should say that, because Suda51 and Takashi Miike are actually good friends. Miike actually voiced a character in No More Heroes 2, for one scene.
