This is probably flying under people's radar, but it's coming out on January 31. Anyone getting it?
NeverDead
Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Jan 31, 2012
In this brutal action game from the creators of Alien vs. Predator, players become Bryce Boltsman, a demon hunter cursed with immortality five hundred years ago, who can survive being violently dismembered by his enemies as long as his head isn't swallowed whole.
So, this is coming out soon.
What is up with the box art!!!
OT: I'm gonna play it for sure, not convinced it'll be a great game though.
January 31st!? Damn it, I didn't know. I want to pick it up but I'll wait for an idea of its quality. There aren't any other games coming out around that time that I care about so that increases my interest.
It looks like something I'd be into, but some of the previews don't sound all that positive. I will wait and see the reviews first.

And as sad as it may sound, that E3 trailer is what made me want the game, and made the wait for Th1rt3en even harder.
I just recalled this game the other day and wondered what had happened to it. I still like the concept and while I'm not completely sold on it yet I'll watch it with interest once it comes out.
Thank god, I hear this game is special because in NeverDead you play as a character that can't die.
Seriously though, this game will probably either be mind numbingly awful or hilarious and fun in an awesome Japanese kind of way. I will shit my pants if it turns out to be legitimately good. I do hope it makes for a great QL though.

I feel bad about not even knowing this game existed until this post. It looks kinda awesome though, I really like the story concept.
You need to watch the E3 trailer, because they somehow got Medadeth to write an original song for the game's soundtrack, and it's completely ridiculous that that happened.
I actually watched it after reading this thread to figure out what the game was even about. The song is alright but otherwise I think the game looks kinda cool.@Zenaxzd said:

@IAmNotBatman: Lol looks like a cheesy comic book for the box art...
Anyway i saw a trailer for this game almost a year ago and completely forgot about it since. The voice acting annoyed me. It look'd decent other than that though.
I'm interested in it, but this is going to be a busy first quarter in games not to mention that FFXIII-2 is released on the same day so my chances of playing this game in Q1 is close to 0%.
I'm going to be completely, brutally honest: the last build I played of this was a complete, abject disaster.
Granted, this was in like late summer, and the producer kept swearing up and down that they were fixing things like the janky ass controls, busted physics, and pretty much horrendous combat, but I'm kinda guessing that they won't be able to fix ALL of that.
Temper expectations, and wait for consensus, if you want my advice.
I'm going to wait for a few reviews and user feedback. There are a few things that worries me about this game. First it is being made by Rebellion and the fact that this is a few IP for Konami and they are putting no marketing behind it. Hell the last trailer they release was around TGS for a game that is being released in less than a week. Seem to me that even the publisher doesn't even have confidence in this game.
I'm excited for it, if only because it looks weird and crazy.
And they got Megadeth to do a song for it. Crazy!
This looks like another Shadows of Damned, awesome but completely overlooked. I don't think coming out the same week as FF XIII-2 and Soulcalibur V was a smart move.
Get your consensus out of here!Temper expectations, and wait for consensus, if you want my advice.
I started to watch a gameplay video last night but had to pause it and never got back to it. From what I recall, it looked a bit dated. I need to see more before I can decide.
@Napalm: I ordered it because the Eurogamer review said it had problems, but a bunch of charm. How broken is it if at all?
@Napalm: haha it looks kinda wonky when youre rolling up body parts. and yknow rogue warrior/shellshock/ japan... I just expect a certain level of brokeness like Shadows of the Damned.

@Napalm: Yeah, I'd say the final game is a step up from a complete abject disaster. It's now graduated to just being kind of a shitty, generic shooter with a barely existent sense of humor.
It's not that bad. Sure, I can see where this game could have been improved, but it is fairly competent at what it does, though it does stumble. At least the combat is varied up a bit, what with the destruction, guns and swordplay.
But, you're also talking to a guy who enjoyed Army Of Two: The 40th Day. I have a feeling you're going to slam this with a two, though. Also, I'd give props to the voice actor for Bryce. His delivery is pretty spot on, even he does repeat a lot of the lines over and over again.
