Swan Rules Zombies With a Non-Conformist Fist in Lollipop Chainsaw

I don't really like the main character but other then that I am all for it.

If this game doesn't give you a hard-on then you are an impotent bastard.

Cause everyone has the hots for deformed computer generated teenagers.

Also, the animator needs to put more emphasis on starting that chainsaw. You really need to pull hard on a chainsaw to get it started.

Wait... Twilight Sparkle????????

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the similarity.

Not really a similarity when it's the same VA. It's essentially Twilight Sparkle as a cheerleader.

Picking up right were Shadows of the Damned left off. With the PG Porn director James Gunn also involved, I'm pretty psyched for this.

My Little Pony meets Deathnote huh?

I didn't ask for this.

Ugh, I don't know what to think of this game anymore...

I found "Favorite Food: Pez" funny for some reason but other than that it just seems so damn generic in every way, especially for a Suda game (wimpy goth bad guy, fucking zombie-ass zombies, seriously?). Doesn't help that, as a Grasshopper joint, it'll probably play like shit too.

I sure hope I'm wrong, though.

Nothing about that headline makes any sense!

After the trailer, I see why.

Carry on.

I was kinda interested in this after watching other trailers but I might just check this out after all. Looks too weird to pass up.

Tired of this novelty, over the top shock value angle from Suda. It's low hanging fruit and it's currently being done better elsewhere (Saints Row 3, for example.) Killer7 is one of my favorite games, but everything after has been a disappointment. That game had substance buried somewhere. Not sure if that's absolutely a prerequisite for a great Suda game (though it couldn't hurt), I just think his concept of style over substance hasn't been creative enough yet.

Well, I wasn't sure at first, but it seems like it's her. But she does a lot of voice work, and not all of them sound the same, so it's still valid to point out that these two are similar.

i don't get to play this game. I wish Suda and lollipop well, but I wish he does something else..maybe a little Killer 7 revisited or something.

But I have no objection, and the reason I don't get to is simply my own considerations. Maybe I'll change my mind...

but you were given it either way.

Man remember when Suda51 wasn't making super generic stuff?

It would be wonderful if we could go a year with out a zombie game coming out.

@HatKing: A turret sequence? Seriously? Damn, I wasn't expecting that. I still haven't played Shadows of the Damned but I had high hopes. Turret sequences always turn me off. As incomparably awesome as Red Dead Redemption was, I still felt those turret sequences were by-the-numbers, lazy mission design.

Yeah gurl, id let you chainsaw me any da- wait no that shit looks painful.

Looking great so far!

And from the looks of it, very-No More Heroes-y in the story/gameplay!

Barbie girls use terms like "aggro"? Where do you buy a chainsaw with hearts on the blade? How does she stay so clean with all that blood flying around? Hell with it, just gimme the game.

Chainsawing ponies would be better.

@jaymorgoth: Thats because if you say "first" the quest doesn't activate. Its a nice countermeasure Dave put in to make people say something worthwhile so its not just a bunch of spam.

I hope the part where this is a game doesn't suck, cause the rest looks great.

Sold sold sold sold sold sold!

Amazing that WBIE picked up Suda and GM. Even though it's probably really repetitive, I have higher hopes for this game than I probably should.

I am conflicted it's a Suda game but it has zombies.

Japan

Is it just me... Or did this Swan Character sound a little like Alex Navarro?

They added some type of outline to the graphics. That's making the game look much better.

Also, I cannot throw enough money at my screen. I want this. Now. All over me.

@HatKing: Shadows of the Damned has been the absolute lowest point of Suda51's career. The game got overhyped, and it was obvious that caused deadlines to force him to rush the game. The first level is extremely well done, but as the game goes on, each level feels more and more phoned in, especially the last two. Moral of the story? Don't overhype a game. I'm glad Suda didn't announce this until it was already as close to completion as it was. It looks to be more in the vein of No More Heroes, which was what got my attention on Suda in the first place.

Hopefully after that, once he's rounded up enough people outside his original fanbase, he can go back to making more obtuse and unique projects like Killer7 or Flower, Sun, and Rain.

And maybe we'll get a US release for Michigan: Report From Hell?..... Please?

And am I the only one who thinks Swan sounds vaguely like Weird Al?
