Topic: Suda's HEROES First Footage!

[TrueNerd]

I don't know how trademarkable the word "heroes" is.

Cell shading FTW. Cell shaded games are proven to be at least ten times prettier then non-cell shaded games. And cell shaded lightsabers? Fuhgettaboudit!

This game has officially joined the ranks with the obvious first party offerings as one of my most anticipated games for the Wii.

I was more excited for it before the new trailer came out. =/

[Adrock]

I hope this game is more than just killing top assassins. Mowing through enemies gets old after awhile.

[zakkiel]

Well, since there's only ten assassins ahead of you, I'd imagine there's more to it.

It's nice to see a game based on the conventions of good anime for a change. Complete with terrible dubbing.

If you did, you would have noticed that Helter Skelter's head was still attached to his body in the original trailer despite the fact that he was decapitated. Check out the part where Sylvia comes in and kicks the dead body.

I always liked that part. We see his head come off and the blood spew out in the reflection on the side of a building, but then in "reality" we see that the head didn't actually come off. But then again, I'm just weird.

There's a great new interview with Suda up regarding HEROES..

[zakkiel]

The town is called Santa Destroy. Based on this information, I think it's obvious that the last killer you defeat will be Santa Claus. Simple logic.

[SixthAngel]

This is going to be the first sword only game for Wii it seems.  I have my hopes high.  Zakkiel, while I first thought santa claus too this is a town name like Santa Cruz but they put Destroy in probably just because they speak japanese as their fist language..

[Dirk Temporo]

Santa means saint in Spanish.

Oooh, done by Billy!  Nice.

Anyway, this sounds pretty good.  One thing I took notice of was that the game isn't considered part of the Killer 7 series...Capcom already owns that.  So it seems like this will be vaguely connected to Killer 7 at best.  I'm interested to see how the controls turn out given how Killer 7 played.  I like the art style even more.  It seems sharper and a little less bizarre and abstract.

You're right, this opens up a whole new angle. Now what does Destroy mean? Well, Troy is Troy, of course, and "des" is "of the" in German. So your opponents will be Trojan saints! They'll be all like, yo, I'm a trojan, and a saint, be-otch! I beat you to death with my crucifix-spear! Yeah, I'll stick my rosy fingers of dawn right up your wine-dark sea, you unrepentent fornicator!

But how could Trojans be saints, you wonder? With a time-traveling machine. Just before Troy got sacked, they escaped into the future, converted to Catholicism, and became professional killers. Of demons, of course. Which means you must be a demon.

So, to sum up: you play a demon fighting time-traveling Trojan saints with a light-saber. Now, you can all bask in the radiance of my genius.

Brilliant.

Beam Katana.  It's called a Beam Katana.
