Killer is Dead looks awesome. Nice combination of Killer 7 and NMH's visual style.

I have a feeling Warner Bros. Interactive has this for release outside Japan.

And if not, region-free PS3, baby.

Graphics and art look pretty amazing, like Killer 7 + No More Heroes ratcheted up to 11.

Is there any word on what the gameplay is going to be like?

This is seriously amazing. The style is fantastic, there's really some pretty big influence from Killer 7 and No More Heroes. There's also a character very similar to Sylvia. There were also some details about it

Quote

Grasshopper's Suda51 gives first details on his latest game, Killer is Dead

Killer is Dead, a title by Japanese developer Grasshopper Manufacture, has been kept under wraps since its original announcement last April. That changed with this week's issue of Famitsu magazine, which offered the first look at the the latest collaboration between Grasshopper and publisher Kadokawa Games — the same collaboration that brought us Lollipop Chainsaw last year.

"Development has already been ongoing for an extended period of time," wrote Grasshopper boss Goichi "Suda51" Suda in his Famitsu column. "It's the first game in the 'assassin' series that Grasshopper Manufacture has worked on in a while, a title that picks up where Killer7 and No More Heroes left off."

Like the two games Suda mentioned, Killer is Dead features a unique shaded graphical style that gives the game an avant-garde look even as it depicts gory violence. The visuals have been upgraded from No More Heroes for current-gen consoles, and the screenshots Famitsu published are looking pretty sharp. "It's not trying to regress into the past," Suda said. "We're trying to make a game that we'd only be able to make right now, at this point in time. The result is seen in our unique high-contrast shading seen in the graphics, as well as the high speed wrestling-like action."

Set in a near-future where lunar tourism and cyber-enhancements have become commonplace, Killer is Dead stars Mondo Zappa, a 35-year-old man who suddenly receives a job offer from the Brian Execution Firm. An undercover national organization run by the half-cyborg Brian Roses, the group sends Mondo around the world in order to execute a variety of assassins, from cunningly evil geniuses to people who seem to actually seek out death at Mondo's hands.

If this sounds a bit like the plot of No More Heroes, then at least Mondo's no Travis Touchdown. A sort of cybernetic James Bond in terms of looks, the newbie executioner (whose sense of fashion would serve him well in the TV series Mad Men) has two weapons at hand: a sword in his right hand for close-quarters combat, and a weapon embedded in his left arm Mega Man-style that can be converted into guns, drills, and other objects as you go through the game. This cybernetic weapon can also absorb the blood of Mondo's enemies, letting him unleash a special "Adrenalin Burst" sword strike to one-hit kill his foes.

"It's the story of a man who doesn't show himself much in the public world," Suda explained, "but still worms his way into society and mercilessly eliminates the evil dispersed in it. It's a personal story, not one that's conscious of the chaos going on in the real world at the moment, but you might get more than a taste of that in the end anyway."

The game is due out this summer in Japan. Suda promised readers that more info would be released in an interview published in next week's Famitsu.

Killer 7 played fine btw.

Yeah that quote definitely makes the game sound dark and intense and not zany and comical like NMH

Himu · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2013, 06:27:37 PM »

Sceneman! YES!

To be fair, Shadows of the Damned was in the right direction. It had a very twisted ending I thought. But still a far cry from K7 and has TOO MUCH HUMOR AND DICK JOKES.

K7 played fine.

Yeah I really enjoyed the branching path game structure. I hate it how people called it "on rails" when you had free reign to explore the areas. You just couldnt move in more than two directions, which is completely irrelevant as it's the fucking design of the game

Did you play Flower Sun and Rain? I enjoyed that even though the whole game is a joke at the players expense

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 16, 2013, 06:40:18 PM »

Shadow's didn't play like crap. It was a pretty well made arcadey RE4. I wish the game was way longer, because of how well it played and since every game of it's type this gen thinks it needs a cover system. I guess you could say pacing and variety were it faults, but not the actual gameplay. I mean when you compare it to RE6, at least Shadow's understood how to not make moving your character around feel convoluted and bad.

Lolipop Chainsaw, well I just thought it was a pretty basic hack and slash game. Nothing really fancy, but well i guess like most of it's game it's personality that made it tolerable.

Either way, I don't think their games have actually played like crap since NMH2.

Himu · « **Reply #27 on:** January 16, 2013, 06:43:20 PM »

Yes Shadows of the Damned had EXCELLENT gameplay albeit repetitive.

Excellent gameplay that gets repetitive fast is not excellent gameplay. Have fun with Suda's latest kusoge.

Well, the gameplay is great, but the game starts to wind down by the end. As a shooter, it was better than most shooters in 2011 and it had some of the best boss fights of 2011.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #50 on:** January 17, 2013, 04:18:23 AM »

Killer 7 might have been perhaps the only previous gen game that really would have benefited from pointer controls.

at this point, I'm just glad that Grasshopper is still around and is able to keep pumping out games, they've kept a pretty good pace despite never really having a substantial hit. So if nothing else, you may not like Suda's games, but he's got to run his company pretty dang efficiently.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #51 on:** January 17, 2013, 06:25:28 AM »

Maybe if he released it at 29.99/39.99 and on PC?

His games have something that captures the imagination. But maybe the pricepoint is too high for the type of experience it offers.

He keeps finding new suckers to publish him. Has he ever had the same publisher twice in a row, aside from No More Heroes 1 & 2?

He's run through Victor Interactive, XSEED, Capcom, Ubisoft, EA, ASCII, SEGA, Atlus, Spike, Namco Bandai, Nintendo, Marvelous Games, Microsoft Studios, Level 5, WB Games, Kadokawa Games, and Reverb Communications, and the only ones to come back for seconds were Ubisoft with NMH2 and Kadokawa with Killer is Dead. Seems like everyone hopes the latest low-budget Suda51 game will finally be his breakout, but I'd say it's pretty likely he hit his ceiling with NMH Wii.

hey, if he gets 1 game published with every publisher in existence, that's a victory.

There's always Swery65 to take Suda's crown.

although so far, Swery has only done the same game twice in a row.
