Killer 7 - new movies

This game actually looks pretty cool. Except its on rails. Any reason they put it on rails?
It makes it easier to implement various camera angles without worrying about impeding gameplay.
 
Playing with Con by far looks to be the most potentially fun. Its obvious how much RE4 influence this game contains. Mask seemed a little boring with only using those twin grenade launchers. Takes away all the challenge of aiming. If it comes out for 40 I'll definitely pick it up just because of how damn unique the whole experience looks.
 
hrm
"its mainly targetted at people who also like LSD i think
controls are very odd

its on rails, but you can turn back and switch paths. you have to do a type of scanning when enemies are nearby."


thats what the guy on irc said anyway
 
Yeah, you DO KNOW the Killer 7 he speaks probably is the 1935 movie, or it's title has been changed to mask the new Paris Hilton Sex Video.

Oh, and it's not funny at all really...

Only pirating roms and old school games is okay here at GAF :lol :lol
 
This game was fun to play at E3 really rough around the edges, but I'm glad they are making it for the ps2. Looks really trippy in the lights off, 5:1 oops I crapped my pants sort of way...
 
From what I've played (a good 20 mins or so), I like the game. The visual style is very refreshing, from the actual cel-shading to how the different personalites are pictured. I mean, they have their own unique running animation, and even weapon reload animation that fits their style. The dialogues and story are bizarre in a "Twin Peaks meets cyberpunk world" kind of way. I wouldn't say the game is scary though, more like a moody, trippy thriller.

As for gameplay, Killer 7 reminds me of point-and-click adventures since those are also "on rails" when you think of it. You can't fully control the character, but you can stop at any moment to look around, turn around and the game points out locations, characters and important items to you by making it a different "route" to choose.

Of course, there's also the action thrown in, where you shoot zombie-like creatures walking towards you. If you use a kind of scanning device, you can see their random weak point. If you shoot them at that very spot, they die instantly and you recieve more blood (which can be used to heal yourself, for example). It was a bit hard to aim at times, but it seemed like you had a lot of ammunition which made things easier. Although when there are many enemies on-screen, you have to be fast.
