just found out about this one, wiki says art's done by Takeyasu Sawaki, guy who did both Devil May Cry and Okami, so that explains a bit. Story comes from the hebrew book of Enoch, so uh...this should be something.

nice. i know it's a little far off, but it's odd that it's flying under so many radars (clearly, including my own, before). the bibical and yet surreal style/atmosphere is interesting; like Dante's Inferno before, i'm not entirely sure beat-em-up is the ideal genre, but it's an intriguing project nonetheless, gonna keep an eye on this one.

well...i've played 2 games this year with :devil: in em, and this is the only one that'd make sense for me.

 

 

at least, past Killer 7. :love:

What games were they?

 

Anyway, yeah, this game looks to have visual awesome down, but combat awesome is yet to be seen. All they've shown is one weapon - and to be fair, it's labeled "one of the pearls," meaning there's probably more, and hopefully more of those pearls are weapons. Still, combat's a big factor in my enjoyment of these things.

yeah, these kinda live & die on combat, agreed. here's to more/varied weapons & moves like uh, what i saw in Bayonetta.

 

 

Castlevania: Lord of Shadows and Dante's Inferno, last boss in both.

Before Dante's inferno I'd have been optomistic of a scripture-based game, but (and this is only having played the demo), it's gotta take more than a fluke to fuck up such rich source material, and therefore is my belief that the fundamental source of these things will generally mediocre(as a verb) the fuck out of any project this ambitious.

 

I still don't get why religion doesn't recruit more through games. Think on how popular Christianity would become with a Myst by way of Heavy Rain-style game playing as say, Judas would be. It's not like anyone's above sensationalising the bible...
