They say it's almost finished, even already has German subtitles.
It makes lots of fun and the gameplay system is decent too. The only problem is that there are not many enemies.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

It looks cool.

 

[Mr Mike]

I think OPS2 UK had played it a few months back. Did a big feature on it.

 

[Jacobi]

Some info from the interview :
- It will be playable on both systems at the E3
- Hiroyuki Kobayashi describes the game as a surprise package, you don't know what you'll face at its end
- To port the game to the PS2 was really difficult
- A Xbox port wouldn't be successful
- "Aren't you afraid gamers won't understand the game ?" "No, I'm not but I'm not sure if all gamers will understand it."

From the preview :
- The Design&atmosphere are the most impressing things in the game.

Thats how you play :
You can't control the character directly. You walk by pressing in a default direction. The enemies, the "Heaven Smiles" make all different sounds you recognize them by their sounds. You can't see them unless you use the first person perspective. Then you can shoot em. If you hit an area which is white marked (their weak point) they die immediately.

 

[El_Victor]

I have no faith in this gam, nuh-oh.

 

[SantaC]

- To port the game to the PS2 was really difficult

Now we know why it took all these years to get this game out.

 

[solarplexus]

More info from the interview:

Kobayashi would like to make another game together with suda 51.

A sequel is possible if they sell ~ 500,000 copies of Killer 7.
------------------

That would be great, maybe Killer 7 - 2 for Xbox 360 ?? There is more stuff but I don't have more time to translate.

 

[bitwise]

Some info from the interview :

- A Xbox port wouldn't be successful

like the PS2 or GC iterations are going to be successful.

 

[Unison]

A sequel is possible if they sell ~ 500,000 copies of Killer 7.

I guess that rules out Killler 8! :lol

 

[SolidSnakex]

A sequel is possible if they sell ~ 500,000 copies of Killer 7.

Oh Capcom, you never fail to amaze with your crazy numbers.

 

[solarplexus]

I guess that rules out Killler 8! :lol

My prediction

Japan PS2 60,000
Japan GC 30,000
USA PS2 110,000
USA GC 60,000
Europe PS2 100,000
Europe GC 40,000
------------------------
Total 400,000

 

[olimario]

This look like nothing but gold.
I doubt it will sell and I doubt anyone here will give it a chance, but the gameplay just looks too fun to ignore.

The sniping trailer at IGN rocks. I love some of the enemy types.

 

[Unison]

I doubt it will sell and I doubt anyone here will give it a chance,

I doubt it will sell, but I think if anyone's going to give it a chance it will be the sort of people who read videogame message boards....

 

[NWO]

like the PS2 or GC iterations are going to be successful.

So much anger.....just buy a Cube or PS2 and you'll be so much happier. :lol

 

[Acosta]

I don´t know if it will reach 500.000 but damn me if I don´t buy my copy.

When is going to be released in Japan?

 

[mr_sockochris]

My prediction

Japan PS2 60,000
Japan GC 30,000
USA PS2 110,000
USA GC 60,000
Europe PS2 100,000
Europe GC 40,000
------------------------
Total 400,000

It won't sell that much on the PS2 in Europe, the general public here doesn't buy anything unless it's called GTA, Gran Turismo or has EA or UbiSoft on the box. I also believe it'll sell more on the GC in USA much like Joe did.

Capcom /rolleyes

 

[sprsk]

xbots down! heel!

methinks thats just a poor translation.

 

[crecente]

I got a chance to play it when the Nintendo Van Tour stopped by my house last week. It was a lot of fun, a very fun, atmospheric game. Definetly worth a buy.

[Musashi Wins!]

Day 1 folks! Looks wonderfully different.

 

[bitwise]

So much anger.....just buy a Cube or PS2 and you'll be so much happier. :lol

I have them. I also have a PSP

but if I didn't, you think I would buy one for.. Killer 7? :lol

 

[Jacobi]

The problem is Killer 7 on Xbox would be supermegagiga unsuccessful

 

[bitwise]

oh, no doubt about that.

 

[Jacobi]

Capcom /rolleyes

They made a bad experience with DC3, didn't they ? Can't remember it well.

 

[sprsk]

oh, no doubt about that.

*boggle*

 

[FiRez]

They made a bad experience with DC3, didn't they ? Can't remember it well.

You answered your own question.

 

[segasonic]

A Xbox port wouldn't be successful

news for the developers: Your game won't be successful on Gamecube and PS2 either.

 

[Soul4ger]

If 100,000 people still own a GameCube in North America by this Summer, I think it could sell decently. If, that is, there's enough media hype. I don't think there's any chance this will do better on PS2 than GC, though. There's too much coming and too much out. In fact, had Capcom released the GC version first, like they did with Viewtiful Joe, if it was done and not if they just waited to get the port finished, it could've been great for them. I bet it would've, total, sold double had the GameCube game come out six to eight months ago.

 

[MomoPufflet]

- A Xbox port wouldn't be successful.

Could it be that he meant "we wouldn't be able to successfully port it?" At least that's how I read it considering the bulletpoint about the PS2 port being difficult was right above it.

Either way it's a vague, bad translation.

 

[soundwave05]

I think he means the XBox has shit for userbase in Japan, and this being a highly Japanese stylized title, there wouldn't be much of a market for it on the XBox.

No, excuse my bad translation I didn't have much time.
A literal babelfish-translation :
Hiroyuki Kobayashi: A conversion on the Xbox is not worthwhile itself for us for commercial reasons.

 

[MomoPufflet]

Sorry-- didn't mean to hate on your translation, lol. For some reason I thought it was from someone else.

Anyway then bleh. That IS annoying that he said that.
