Looks unequivocally bad ass. A Shining Light in a sea of shovelware, minigames, and musical abortions.

That shit looks awesome, but dammit why are Platinum Games wasting their talent on Wii?

A cool looking Wii game? Have I warped to some alternate universe? OMG. Someone feed my cats until I get back home.

this is the first game they are doing with the "untested" director. basically they could only get SEGA to fork over the monies for the 360 project, so this is on wii. still, looks really damn cool.

JustinP · « **Reply #5 on:** July 16, 2008, 01:03:01 AM »

going to take more than gory gameplay and a gimmick art style to get me playing it, but it's got my attention because it's ex-clover.

They're making a game for just about every system. MadWorld for Wii, Infinite Space for DS, and Bayonetta for Xbox360/PS3.

i'm presold on everything platinum games does, but i hope there's more to this than a cool visual style and a bunch of mortal kombat fatalities. then again it is AN ACTUAL GAME FOR WII, which is sort of like a faberge egg laid by a talking condor on a polar icecap

Yes, let's just go ahead and not make fun games because they might accidentally show up on a system that doesn't push five billion polygons.

Maybe the game will sell like ass because blood scares grandma and they'll port it to XBLA.

People really clamored for those PS2 games, didn't they?

But that's beside the point, which is that this game looks sweet and awesome.

If clover games sell that bad on PS2, imagine their Wii sales.

Still though, yes. There is no denying that it looks bad ass.

It's hard to sell less than nil, but No More Heroes did manage to be Grasshopper's best-selling game so you can take that for what it's worth.

Anyway, I hear this game has ultra-violence.

I appreciate that they are going for something unique here, but this particular style feels really messy. I'd say cluttered, but that's obviously not a good term for something as basic as this, but the damned thing is giving me a headache already.

IGN has a better quality video, with different scenes. I guess because GC is in Germany, they censored it or something:

http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14253678/madworld/videos/MW_GC_082008.html

Instead of clips of running and throwing things, this version features blood, decapitations, and finishing moves.

And new screens:

Bildi · « **Reply #31 on:** August 20, 2008, 09:53:07 PM »

The new screens look pretty good. I hope they can pull off a great game because the gore factor does nothing for me.

The gore factor looks like it's campy and over the top, and the last time this team made a campy and over the top game, it was God Hand, which was amazing.

Greatness Gone · « **Reply #35 on:** August 21, 2008, 02:13:41 PM »

It's hard for my eyes to distinguish between the background, the main character and enemies when I see it in motion. Oh, and the art style is pretty horrible, too.

Where is my Bayonetta info?

drohne · « **Reply #36 on:** August 21, 2008, 03:11:19 PM »

dunno what to make of this -- the mortal kombat violence does nothing for me, and it remains to be seen whether busy black and white graphics in low resolution are a workable idea. and there's always the threat that waggle will spoil things. but it's from clover people, and if i don't take chances on interesting but patchily-realized games in the no more heroes vein, i won't end up playing any wii games at all

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #37 on:** August 21, 2008, 04:11:28 PM »

The still screens are a bit hard on the eyes, but from the videos it doesn't look like it'll be much of problem when the game is actually in motion.

I don't have any problem distinguishing objects from the background. Then again, I'm slightly color-blind, and supposedly we're somewhat better at distinguishing patterns, textures, and shapes.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #40 on:** August 21, 2008, 04:54:37 PM »

cool breeze · « **Reply #41 on:** August 21, 2008, 04:56:10 PM »

I think the art style works with it because the camera is fixed behind the character. As long as that is always a constant, it won't get confusing.
