Title: Anyone else pining for a Killer 7 HD release?
Post by: The Sceneman on July 19, 2012, 10:41:53 AM
Man I want to play Killer 7 again. Easily the finest game ever made. I played it on a Gamecube on my old 14" CRT, would love to see it optimised for High Definition

It was borderline unplayable with analog sticks. I'd love to get a PC port with mouse support.

Killer7 was an awesome game.

one of the few last gen games that would really make sense with pointer support.

C'mon Wii-U port!

by the by, since Akira Yamaoka took over composing duties at Grasshopper, what became of the dudes they had previously, because games like Killer 7 had fucking awesome tunes and they didn't deserve to get displaced.

Masafumi Takada seemed to work on further GH games up until NMH2 and Fatal Frame 4. After that he did some stuff for other games like Vanquish and joined like every other Japanese composer to do some stuff on Kid Icarus.

Jun Fukuda the other composer on the soundtrack, who has seemed to work with Takada a lot, seemingly hasn't done anything since No More Heroes 2.

As for Killer 7, I would have loved a Wii port. But a PS3 Move Enabled Version would be fine. Hell with Capcom just HDing shit these days, it could happen.

Closest we'll probably ever get:

Did anyone here understand what the plot was because I didn't have a clue. Weird, weird game, but I still enjoyed it.

looks great on dolphin.

plot's good. I'm sure some stuff went over my head as japanese politics aren't a subject I know jack about, but I loved how it was built and progressed through the game. Little things like the voice mail messages not being explained and different characters having the same name, voice and character model. fun stuff.

Not with Resident Evil 4 existing.

considering re4 is on pc, ps2, wii, 360 and ps3, it is no longer a "gamecube" game. meanwhile, k7 only has a shitty ps2 port, and the OG GC VERSION so yes it is the best gc game.

I actually think killer 7 would be a big hit for Capcom if they put it on steam. PC controls would iron out the first person shooting and make people enjoy shooting the weak spots due to kbm accuracy. Not to mention the great boss fights, the insane story, the really cool levels...I think it'd do pretty well considering if they gave a decent push and ported it to pc.

Truth be told, I never even played the GC version. Just the PS2 one.

Easily one of the best of last gen once you understand the control scheme. I fucking hated it the very first time I played it.

i just think of it as resident evil on rails

Game isn't even on rails. I hate it when people say that. When I think of rails, I think of a rail shooter. In rail shooters you can't just turn around, much like a train. It has a very unique control scheme, but it is hardly on rails. If you took away the hold A to go forward button and gave it normal third person controls with the left and right sticks, the way the levels flow would show that it's NOT on rails. Rails are not about controls, they're about structure of the game.

Yeah definitely best GC game. I used to think Killer 7 was the best game ever but after really thinking a lot I think Castlevania SotN is the greatest game ever. Killer 7 is still in my all time top 5.

I went into a GameStop and asked if they had a copy of this, the manager was like NOOOO BECUZ I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT MAHSELF and I was like well shit.

One of my best friends worked on that game and has the most incredible stories to tell about its development
