This thread makes me infinitely sad. The developers of Okami go bankrupt, reform and produce this. It almost seems to be the ultimate proof that the only way for a professional developer to be successful is by implementing shiploads of violence and over the top nonsense.

Did you not play Godhand or Resident Evil? This seems totally consistent with their previous works.

Not that I mean to get in the way of you raging against those corporate fat cats or anything. That would be severely un-indie of me.

Just cause they like doing delicate arty things doesn't mean that sometimes, you don't just want to stab a dude in the eye with a caution sign.

I've wanted to do that for such a long time and then this came along. At last I have something I can relate to.

The guys that made Okami made God Hand.

God Hand was about absolute craziness and beating people into pulps.

I'm fairly sure they're doing the game like this out of choice and not because it's the only way to make money. Besides, they're making an ultra-violent game for the Wii. They would have just done this for the 360 if they were so worried about money.

[joshg]

Probably won't play this myself, not really big on ultra-violence, but the visual style looks completely awesome.

[moi]

wel TBH the first game doesn't look terribly interesting to me, looks like a mix between Unreal Tournament and mortal combat, with indie  graphics .
Second one looks more appealing but the trailer is too short.

Bayonetta's girl's also got a corkscrew as a hair doo.

I feel intrigued by it.

I played both actually, but only very briefly so I wasn't aware that clover did those. I guess you're right about the consistency.

I don't mind that there are violent games, I just mind the lack of the delicate arty ones. And I'm saddened when a developer who proofed to be capable of coming up with the later (which is rare) chooses to do the former (which is common). That's all.

Making uncommon games is not the primary concern, though. The whole point is to make good games. Sometimes, that means breaking the mould. Other times, it doesn't. Besides, this game does look pretty unusual.

delicate arty violence?

[Calanctus]

This game doesn't look anything like a generic gritty sci-fi FPS or action game, so there's no reason to assume it will be anything like a generic gritty sci-fi FPS or action game.

It might be violent, but aesthetically at least it's more original and interesting than most games in the same genre.

Yes sure the look is nice (not new though, see http://www.garagegames.com/products/118/), but what makes a game good is mostly the gameplay and that looks suspiciously like "Manhunt" or "The Punisher"to me. Both games are shit.
I'm however the first to admit that the few seconds of gameplay I've seen are not enough to judge the game, but it does look like the killing sequences are predefined and you just trigger them. Time will tell if this game will be any good but I haven't seen anything that would warrant any sort of excitement. Maybe that's just me.

There is virtually no reason to think this at all. Seriously, why?

Also, originality isn't some kind of binary state, where a game is either 100% original or not. Okay, there's some game that has a similar look. So? That doesn't change the fact that most games don't look this way, nor does it mean that MadWorld is going to look absolutely identical to Vigil.

If you actually compare screenshots of Vigil and MadWorld, you can see that even though both have similar ideas for their color schemes (black and white plus one extra color), their actual character designs are completely different. The stories also appear to be very different- Vigil seems to be a more serious, dramatic tale, whereas MadWorld is being described by its creators as deliberately over the top and comical.

On a side note, I remember discussing with my friends how awesome a black and white cel-shaded game could be. Now we'll have to see if our other predictions come true. C'mon, Cubist FPS...

For more black and white cell shaded you should deffintly watch the film Renassiance

The big bulky charecters and cartoony uber gore are alot simmilair to Frank Millers Sin City comics if ya ask me.

Tinarg, in case you missed what ol' Melly said up thar top of the page, God Hand. Made by Clover. Don't know if you've played God Hand. Probably isn't your thing, with all the uh... ball kicking, though you should give it a look-in.

This here MadWorld looks like God Hand: Sin City Edition.

In my eyes, that's just unadulterated awesome.

Yeehaw.

[Hideous]

This is going in my wii the first day it comes out. Most definetly.
