Shadows of the Damned

[Starkiller]

This game looks promising. Shadows of the Damned is the upcoming collaboration between Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and No More Heroes designer Goichi Suda of Grasshopper Manufacture.

Rock N' Roll meets Resident Evil.

Okay...Shinji Mikami and Akira Yamaoka working together....Sweet merciful crap...yes.

I could do with less of the Rock 'n Roll and more of the Resident Evil. I just want a straight-on survival horror game dammit. No cheese and Japanese-style Rock and roll.

 

[Starkiller]

I think this game looks amazing and I'm the biggest hater on cheesy over the top japanese games. I'm surprised there wasn't a thread on it sooner today.

 

[Tesio]

Suda is all I needed to hear, Mikami is total icing on the cake though. This game should be amazing! I can't wait

Looks..........ok

*looks at avatar*

I doubt that.



This game looks kinda crappy, but I'll keep an open mind towards it. Nice music, but the graphics are complete ass. Would much rather have Itagaki's action game before this one.

What and what? MGS is a masterpiece, those graphics look very RE4, look great.

I'm sure this game will be fun, I just don't like the aesthetics. :/

Maybe that'll change when you pick it up.

Officially dated for June 7th.

"Shadows of the Damned will feature light versus darkness gameplay, with protagonist Garcia Hotspur's weapon, a shapeshifting ex-demon named Johnson, launching bursts of light at hellspawn. Johnson's various weapon forms—which include pistols, rifles and torches—can be upgraded with a gem-collection system.

EA and Grasshopper Manufacture promise that light-dark gameplay will "forever change the way gamers perceive puzzles, combat, and action."

Mikami and Suda also confirmed that Shadows of the Damned's health system is alcohol based—when Garcia Hotspur is short of health, a shot of alcohol ("the elixir of life in Hell") will give him a boost."

It's going to be between this and Infamous 2 that week...decisions, decisions.

Same day as inFamous 2. One of these games will get my hard-earned dollar on that day.

Parents are gonna love that.

So I'm guessing no Resident Evil game in the near future?

looks like a modern interpretation of dantes inferno

Well Mikami left capcom awhile back.

So any idea on anything Resident Evil coming out for the major systems?

So far nothing but murmurs about an outsourced RE game developed by a western studio instead of in-house at Capcom. Otherwise currently the 3DS has the only true RE games this year.

However, I'm sure Capcom is knees deep in development for RE6. I'd bet my house on it.

If so I hope it's two things:

1. On the next console generation coming up.
2. A true return to survival horror and close corridors.
