Keiji Inafune Returns to Killin' Zombies in Yaiba

We don't know much more than the fact that zombies and Inafune are involved, but that should be enough for most.

Looks neat. Hopefully it's not another phone game.

Sounds good! Inafune on Yaiba, Mikami on Zwei - just so great to see them both keep on truckin' outside of Capcom.

The dead will die again. That's dumb in so many levels. At least it looks like the good kind of dumb.

Considering it's one of the masterminds behind Dead Rising, I should think so.

If it has good combat, and the level of interactivity with scenario that Dead Rising had, this game will be sooo great.

The Walking Dead has shown us that zombies are still relevant!

So this is the guy that was angry about the state of the Japanese video game industry right? In terms of style this doesn't look bad, but come on...you complain about Japanese games then you make a zombie game which has been done to death in the Western side.

not every zombie game is like every other zombie game just because it has zombies.

@DeF: woah woah woah. Hyperbole and over-generalization are the law of the internet, sir.

Also, responding without thinking about what you're typing, like I've just done.

Cyborg Ninjas & Zombies. Nothing wrong with that!

Was hoping for something original though. (time will tell I guess)

The twist is, you're a rampaging cyborg ninja that THINKS everyone is a zombie, but really you're just slaughtering innocents. Final boss is you fight the entire Japanese SDF.

I guess keeping it "Yaiba" was better than "Sword".

It actually looks really nice.

But I fear despite good reception and whatnot, it will sell roughly around what Splatterhouse or Lollipop Chainsaw did.

There's just no place/love for non-FPS games these days...

The zombies are the most irrelevant part of that game. The zombies may as well be inclement weather.

I'm going to guess this is a downloadable game? Definitely looks like it.

@JetForceGemini: I doesn't seem to be so from the action snippets in the trailer. You couldn't get that kind of controllable action in a 3d world without buttons.
