K7 got 36/40 from famitsu, I'm trying to find a scan of it so I can see what they liked about it.

K7 wasn't anywhere near the top of my "to buy" list, and nothing I've seen since indicates otherwise. I'm genuinely excited about Geist, but despite the usual early Spring-Summer draught, I just can't get it up for "Myst, with guns and an M rating".

I dunno, I might buy it in another year and a half if I see it on the shelf for $10 when they're clearing out all the GC titles to make room for Rev titles.

When did Capcom jack up the price of Killer 7?  It's retailing for $49.99.  I could have sworn the presale price was $39.99 a couple months ago.  

Also, it's been pushed back--it's now being released on July 7 for both GC and PS2.

Typical Capcom. Hype up some titles, only to delay them at the proverbial last minute. I'm still waiting for the Mega Man collection for the GBA....

I can imagine they're doing this to strenously bug-check and/or produce more copies. But since they've haven't really promoted this title until recently, what do they expect?

Now that the press and the people have a grasp on what this is, I should give it a whirl. If nothing else, this could make Suda the Stanley Kubrick of video games.

Has anyone seen an import review for Killer 7 yet for either GameCube or PS2?  It came out in Japan last week, so there should be at least a couple floating around the net.

EDIT:  PGC, I'm looking in your general direction.

In Lamepro's review they said that the graphics arent post modern or post impressionist (which ever) but their dull, they hated the controls, they hated the boss battles they also hated almost everything about it. (they only reviewed the PS2 version).

The game on average is getting bad scores.  I think IGN gave the GCN version a slightly higher score than the ps2 version and at gamerankings the GCN version has a higher average score than the ps2.  

GCN: 82.2%
PS2:  64.9%

That is a cosiderable difference.

Is this a case of PS2 reviewers 'not getting it'? Or are there serious problems with the PS2 version?

There have only been a handful of reviews for the Gamecube version, and a few more for the PS2 version, so it will even out eventually, unless there really is something wrong with the PS installment.

PS2 version is the inferior version because the game was made on cube and ported to the PS2 here are the problems the PS2 version has: Longer loading times, the aiming sensetivity is bad(aiming controls were made with the cube control stick in mind) so its too sensetive with the PS2 sticks, alot more "TV static loading screens" and the game studders and hiccups during loading and/or framerate. Gamecube version is on 2 discs and PS2 I believe is on one disc.


The only reason Killer 7 on PS2 has a ranking in the 60's is because Gamepro trashed the PS2 version with a 1.5/5 and OPM gave it a 2.5/5.

Hahahaha... I wonder if the shareholders realize it's not a smart move to demand a downport? I could imagine Mikami purposely made the PS2 version that bad, leaving out some optimization in order to make Sony look bad.

I rather wait to see what the guys at PGC have to say about this game if they will review it. They are really the only guys out there you can really trust with reviews.

No way, Mario sunshine was a lesser game then Mario 64 and the PGC guys gushed all over Mario SS, there is no way in hell the PGC guys are better then anyone out there, I trust a statistical collection of user reviews more then any one single persons review.  Most people who lowscored Mario SS had great criticisms of where Nintendo went wrong, also Mario Kart DD and Starfox assault were pretty bad for major nintendo franchises.

"No way, Mario sunshine was a lesser game then Mario 64 and the PGC guys gushed all over Mario SS, there is no way in hell the PGC guys are better then anyone out there"

EVERYONE gushed all over Mario Sunshine so I wouldn't hold it against PGC.  It's one of those games like Metal Gear Solid 2 that is universally recognized as overhyped in reviews.
