I saw trailers for this playing in Sofmap here in Japan and this looks surprisingly good. I thought it was going to be a stink bomb like Quantum Theory but it presented itself well enough for me to want to try it. I was surprised I've never heard of it when I saw the videos, so this game will unfortunately bomb because of poor marketing I guess..

There are a few people interested in the game (including me), but even them are mostly waiting for it to bomb and drop in price. 
/edit/ There really is some good stuff in that trailer, though.

Exactly. This game looks like it could be a quality sleeper. But we all know it's going to bomb and be half price within a few weeks.

Yep.
The ultra-generic leads don't help it either.

guilty as charged.
No shit, I don't buy alot of games day 1 but this I will gladly pay 60$ for. Everyone wants cool new IPs but they will all buy Mass Effect 3 instead.
The whole Lolz BOMBA thing is getting fucking annoying honestly....

Gotta try something different since many people in the US won't take notice of their other series, which features some of the best designed realistic characters.
I'm thinking it could be a Vanquish or Valkyria Chronicles like situation. I don't have anything on me to back this up, but I'm pretty sure those games, which were also brand new IPs, didn't do well initially, but sold well over time (at lower prices) because of good word of mouth.
Of course, for that to happen here, Binary Domain would have to be a good game, which it easily may not be.

It got fucking annoying long time ago for me. Every time I see "Bomba!" I want to punch someone. And later there's: "Fucking Sega/Capcom/whatever, why no xy sequel?!?!"
Well, no shit.

I'm so confused.
Judging by the trailer it looks like the game has a pretty decent development budget, yet the marketing budget behind the game seems pretty much non-existent.
Outside of a handful of trailers and screenshots I can't remember much more media from SEGA.
Really can't believe that this will be releasing worldwide next month.
I hope the inevitable bomba doesn't damage the Yakuza studio too much...... :/
They've released a bunch of trailers and interviews and what not, a fairly steady stream since a couple months ago.
I have absolutely no doubt that this game will be good stuff, it has a good chance of being amazing imo. It's sad, everyone slept on Vanquish and a year later the thread is still getting bumped daily and people are finaly realizing how great that game was.
Same shit here, forget about whatever boring sequel you were gonna buy and support this shit! The shooting looks so crunchy in this game, blowing off specific parts on those robots just looks plain satisfying.

I'm really excited for the game but sadly I have to admit that even though I don't do this a lot, this is one game I'm going to be waiting on a price drop for. There's just too much other stuff in February to warrant a day one/full price purchase for me

The story stuff looks really interesting. I'm looking forward to reviews and impressions to see if they pull it off.
Arthur talked about it briefly on Rebel FM recently. He called it the most mechanically competent Japanese shooter ever which coming from him is absurdly high praise even if he didn't mean it that way. Actually got me hyped in a well if he actually liked it then Ill probably love it sort of way

Looks stupid and fun. A lot of those Japanese actors are pretty famous, but I bet the English VA will be cringeworthy. Will be my guilty pleasure of 2012.

Wasn't this the game with the trailer we all laughed at?
Bomb this, bomb that, bomb all of the above...
Thank you for your thoughtful analysis and opinions. If you like the game, buy it and enjoy it. Most just have to give their predictions on sales for every single title coming out. At times I feel like we talk about how a game will perform sales wise more than the actual game itself.

Yes and it doesn't look any better.
Wonder how this will do in Japan, since we all know this won't do well over here. Yakuza games sell well enough in Japan, so I don't know what to expect from this.

ya, I'm hoping for a sleeper hit. would be nice to finally see a Japanese developer get a shooter right.

The impressions on the gunplay have been pretty positive. They seem to be taking some of the best features from other TPS games and implementing it into this. I especially like that it seems to take from Dead Space when it comes to the importance of bullet placement.

I wish people could just post opinions about new games and not sales predictions.
I mean it's cool you're being a thrifty consumer and are waiting for price drop but you don't have to remind everyone this everytime a new piece of media comes out for a game. It's pretty annoying.
That said I've been sold on this for a while. This is my big new game for February. Can't wait.
Loading the trailer now.

Is this coming out in NA for February as well or is that only the Japanese release?
I have wondered why people in the media aren't really talking about this because it looks very good.
Another game for my 2012 list.

This game looks really good.
Was just wondering, was the detective in Yakuza 4 modeled after this guy?

This is probably the closest we'll ever get to Vanquish 2.
Uuuuuh no? This so nothing like Vanquish.
