The black cyborg guy and the suit guy look like those killer 7 characters, I wonder if there's a connection.

What caught me off guard, and made me laugh, was that split second where the girl is wailing on a guy's chest with her fists, obviously trying to resuscitate him. I wonder how that will fit into the actual game. Is it the only way to revive?

Was that a Dark Step? So this is both No More Heroes 3 and Shadows of the Damned 2, then?

Don't forget Killer7
It's basically all the best parts of Suda 51 wrapped up into a hopefully cool game.

After Lolipop Chainsaw, I've got my doubts, but hey... he can still come back after that.

As usual:

It's Suda 51 so I'll love all the marketing, but it's Grasshopper Manufacturer so I'll hate the game.

My problem with Suda 51 games is that they usually have awful, boring, repetitive gameplay. I hope that's not the case with this one.

Gonna use this moment to give shouts out to Flower, Sun, and Rain, easily the most ambitious Suda 51 project ever. I doubt we'll ever see anything like that from him again.

I had to watch that again, that's some Kojima shit right there.

If Suda and Tarantino ever met, our dimension would fold.

Like all Suda 51 games, in theory I'm on board with it, but I don't know if it will actually be fun to play.

This looks surprisingly nice, graphics wise, for a Suda51 game. I know some will disagree, but I think much of Suda51's past offerings have been ugly to look at.

I have absolutely NO idea what exactly this game entails actually doing gameplay wise but I'm buying it day one regardless.

Looks to be the closest thing we will get to a Killer 7 sequel. I'm in.

I've never played Killer 7, I'm aware its a cult favorite of the Capcom 5 during the GameCube days, never got the chance to experience the earlier Suda51 craziness. I've seen a tiny bit of the game via a few Lets Plays, this trailer remind of watch the game, being overwhelmed with the art style and non-senselessness of the world.

PS. Firefox considers Suda51 a real word... Crazy

Not that I don't like suda 51, he's one of my favourite creatives in the games industry, but how does he keep getting money to make games that universally seem to under perform. Don't get me wrong I love that he does but why lol

The way I always heard it was he does a lot of stuff like anime licensed games and use the excess funds to do crazy pet projects like this, so it's ok if they don't have gangbuster sells. I don't know where collabs like lollipop chainsaw or Shadows of the Damned fit in though.

If it plays well, I'll bite. Everything else seems pretty nice, though!

Stylish and interesting..as you usual I bet the least impressive part will be actually playing it..

Yeah, the moment a review says the gameplay of a Suda 51 game is great is the first time I'll play one.

No More Heroes 1 and 2 both played really well.

I disagree...but that's cool to each their own

I always find this wet looking/porcelain art style a bit weird.

That's the only criticism I have right now since I don't know anything else about the game from this trailer, apart from the fact that you might have a sword.

Like all Suda51 games its likely going to be full of awesome ideas and scenarios but badly implemented and with awful controls.

I don't wanna be "that guy," but I'm totally gonna be when I say that I miss when Suda's games didn't have a layer of silly accessibility on top. I want that old school authentic insanity.
