Sorry if old...

Release date: 6/30.

I saw a video for this a few weeks back. It's a pretty funny concept for a game.

 

[lunlunqq]

Yup... this long series is made to fulfill gamers' twisted lust of killing...

 

[sirris]

If this game is as cool as the orginal Kagero then its my 2005 goty.

Hope this sees a Western release - played the PSX version that did, and it was great fun, if a little evil.

Loved the series on the original Playstation... glad to see it making a return...

 

[Tabris]

It kinda looks like that game Deception for the PSX.

That game was insanely tense!

I had totally forgotten about it until now. Maybe I should try to backtrack it.

Deception is what they called Kagero in the US

Oh, cool. So this is the sequel?

It'll be part of Tecmo's E3 lineup:

"Trapt" – Protect your castle by luring your enemies into your booby-trapped world in this trap-action game. You'll play as Princess Allura, who with her cunning ways and brilliant series of traps will always get what she wants, even if blood and body-parts are shed along the way. Launching this fall on the PlayStation2, the core of the game is equal parts action and puzzle that will have gamers thinking in the most evil and manipulative ways to get Allura just where they want her.

It's actually the 4th title in the series.

Here's a list of the previous 'Deception' games, all on PSOne:

Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness
Kagero: Deception II
Deception III: Dark Delusion

I really like this series. I'm happy to hear that the series isn't dead even though I'm not entirely sure how they could improve the gameplay in this sequel. Whatever.

I thought we weren't allowed to post scans on this forum?

Finally. I've waited far too long for a game where I could shoot people out of cannons for personal amusment and gain.

Were Deception 2 & 3 any good? I only played one, which was alright, but really dated when I played it.

WAIT a fucking minute...they're not even having it named Deception here? WTF is that all about.

my wife is going to flip when this comes out. the screens look pretty nice (way better than 2 and 3. they look terrible now. meh, they probably didnt look all that great then)

she LOOOVES this series. she would play through deception 3 over and over again.

i was never able to get into them, but in enjoyed watching her play a bit.

its really an interesting idea for a game. odd, but interesting. too bad the game play did nothing for me. maybe this game will change that...

 

[Zaptruder]

I think I remember playing this game on the PSX... was it a game that took a ridiculous 9 blocks of memory?

 

[BuckRobotron]

Looking forward to this one. I went back only the past year to see what I was missing with the first 3. I actually liked the original slightly better than 2 (Kagero), but it is almost moot they are so different (1st-person/male castle-owner in 1 vs. 3rd-person/waifish young female tool of mystical creatures in 2). Certainly dug 2 and have yet to play 3 sitting on the shelf...
