Famitsu detailed the 3 Weapon types yesterday and put up some more screens. Siliconera translated.

You obtain weapons by picking up those dropped by fallen angels and then purifying them.
In combat, the weapon system in plays out in a rock-paper-scissors fashion.

There's the Arch, the curved blade we've all seen thus far.

There's the Gale, which is a fast ranged weapon that looks like a set of detached fin funnels.

Then there's the Veil, the shield weapon.

Each weapon has a secondary ability too.

The Arch allows Enoch to glide after a jump, the Gale gives Enoch the ability to dash towards enemies, and Veil lets you dole heavy hits out with your shield.

meh artstyle tbh. Uncharted and the The Last Guardian look better artistically.

 

[Takao]

Goodbye Ignition, no one truly wanted to know you.

 

[John Rabbit]

meh artstyle tbh. Uncharted and the The Last Guardian look better artistically.

i don't even....what?

also, fuck the haters. this game looks like a real interesting experience.

 

[vazel]

i don't even....what?

Just count yourself lucky no gifs were posted.

 

[Glix]

To the posters above... have you even seen the vids of this game in motion????

It looks amazing, I can't wait!

 

[subversus]

erm.... well...

 

[Jerk]

meh artstyle tbh. Uncharted and the The Last Guardian look better artistically.

...

 

[zoukka]

Some levels I like and some look really bad. I have no interest on the game because the gameplay though... the world doesn't need more combo-brawlers.

 

[drohne]

i like its pioneering use of visually and thematically dissonant sidescrolling sections full of hotdog people -- i probably just missed an explanation for them, but it'd be even cooler if they were totally unexplained

 

[FateBreaker]

This game looks incredible. Day 1 if it ever comes here.

 

[Plywood]

meh artstyle tbh. Uncharted and the The Last Guardian look better artistically.

 

[BobsRevenge]

meh artstyle tbh. Uncharted and the The Last Guardian look better artistically.

Yup, not even close. It has some cool filters going for it, but I'm not really appreciating the style in these screens.

 

[Gospel]

:lol thanks man

 

[Lonely1]

Sorry, I don't like that style.

 

[X26]

2011's offerings are going to be ugly as fuck in that case

 

[Refreshment.01]

"El Shaddai: Weapons system + screens of prettiest game of 2011"

Truly

Spoiler

NOT!

 

[HamPster PamPster]

This thread reminds me, a gamestop near me has Last Rebellion, I think I'll make that my chirstmas break game

 

[lupinko]

Goodbye Ignition, no one truly wanted to know you.

Bubububu, mangod!?!?!?

 

[GeoramA]

Hope you meant Journey instead of Uncharted.

 

[BobsRevenge]

Hope you meant Journey instead of Uncharted.

What's wrong with Uncharted?

 

[HYDE]

Yup, not even close. It has some cool filters going for it, but I'm not really appreciating the style in these screens.

I agree, it looks shit.

Edit: Yeah, what the fucks wrong with Uncharted?

Nothing, now shut the hell up.

 

[DR2K]

2011's offerings are going to be ugly as fuck in that case

It's pretty in it's own way, not visually of course, but the art is unique.

 

[Ezalc]

Fuck the haters, this game looks amazing.

 

[GeoramA]

What's wrong with Uncharted?

Nothing. Journey looks "artisically" better, that's all.

They both look better than this though.

Calm down

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Does he have options in the second screen? :lol

Kids these days.

This looks absolutely pretty in motion. Can't wait for it. Too bad its gonna bomb real hard and put Ignition out of business. well, good riddance, Ignition.

 

[luffeN]

what's the meaning of the red and blue arrow? I know that it's rps, but still.

 

[Fritz]

Looks great. Very inspired.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

what's the meaning of the red and blue arrow? I know that it's rps, but still.

I'm guessing blue means "strong against" and red means "weak against".

Alternatively we can get someone who can speak Japanese on this thread. :lol

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Bubububu, mangod!?!?!?

::sob::

 

[Teknoman]

Wait so the game is supposed to take place in heaven or in some kinda limbo?

 

[Kyoufu]

This game looks way better artistically than your dudebro games. I have a feeling this will be a cult classic.

 

[GillianSeed79]

This is the game inspired by the Book of Enoch right? I'm a sucker for games with heavy religious symbolism and overtones, so this is on my radar.

 

[Alts]

I'm guessing blue means "strong against" and red means "weak against".

Alternatively we can get someone who can speak Japanese on this thread. :lol

red, 有利, is strong against.
blue, 不利, is weak against

Example: Veil strong against gale

 

[7Th]

EnochXLucifel is totally OTP.

 

[lethial]

Eh, pretty ugly imo. Plus the weapons look like paper airplanes.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Shouldn't have put in the title that it's the prettiest game of 2011. People shocked at the mention of Uncharted need to calm down and blame the OP. This game don't look that good (I haven't watched any video yet). All I thought as I scrolled down the pics was, "I'm not sure if it even looks pretty." If it's better in motion post gifs, pics don't do most games justice.

Kinda feel dirty having to ask (especially since it's the prettiest game of 2011), Wii game?

 

[Snuggles]

I love a good daring & abstract art style, but I find this game kind of ugly. I can't exactly put my finger on what isn't working for me, but it just looks different, not good.

sorry

 

[Teknoman]

Divine paper airplanes.

Someone post a gif of that section where Enoch is running across an area with flames coming up.

Looks flat, if it's going for a cell shade look Naruto does it better whithout looking too polygonal. That's another thing, it looks like the models are made up of a low amount of polygon detail. Kittowny would pass out if Insomniac made this and slapped Resistance on it.

 

[Metalic Sand]

Looks like so many different art styles slammed together in different places. I like the wackiness of it. Game will probably play like crap though.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

meh artstyle tbh. Uncharted and the The Last Guardian look better artistically.

Awful post. Completely different styles of games.

 

[CiSTM]

Doesn't look bad but it just seems messy. There isn't feel of consistency in it. Journey and that Eden "something" game (spiritual rez2) are so far best looking games when it comes to art.

 

[spats]

Looks like an early 90s CG video down to the ugly character model and hideous pastel color palette.

But I'm very glad they're trying different things.

[Pimpbaa]

Looks like the type of game some gamers will like just because it's different and not because it's actually any good.

 

[Poohblaster]

I dig it. The graphical style looks like my 3d trapper keeper back in 3rd grade.
