shadows of the damned is EA tho, not sure they really care about that game all that much

iOS free-to-play port incoming. Per-per-boner.

 

[antitrop]

Okay, I'll play it then.

 

[antibolo]

Not necessarily PC related, but if I liked No More Heroes but none of the other Grasshopper Manufacture games, should I bother with Killer Is Dead?

 

[Kiant]

I'd rather have Shadows of the Damned. :\

Same!

I thought Killer is dead was incredibly poor, although laughably bad at times. Least Shadows of the Damned is more tongue in cheek and doesn't take itself seriously (or maybe I just find dick jokes funny)

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Wow, this game will look pretty on PC.

 

[greenfish]

Awesome.

I'm a strong supporter for Sudas work. More sales = more games.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Don't get your hopes up for this being a particularly fun game, but it's good that more stuff is coming to PC.

 

[Ryuuga]

Easily the worst console game I played last year, but more PC games are great.

 

[Drain You]

Will double dip. One of my favorite games gen. I loved the story so much. It seemed like a Suda game but with a slightly more coherent story. Still was crazy

 

[Tokubetsu]

Shadow of the Damned needs to be next.

 

[Violence Jack]

Yup, day one. You have my money Suda.

Now gives us Shadows of the Damned and Killer 7. But I'm completely fine with just this.

 

[allgamespc]

oh my...shadows of the damned and no more heroes now please?

day 1 buy, this game always looked awesome to me, but didnt have consoles to play it. PC gaming ftw

 

[∀ Narayan]

Hot diggity! I loved this on the PS3. A PC version will kick it into overdrive.

 

[Lasthope106]

Will buy this. Glad to have more Japanese developers making the jump to pc. Now I shall wait for Capcom to bring Dragon's Dogma.

 

[Drain You]

Yup, day one. You have my money Suda.

Now gives us Shadows of the Damned and Killer 7. But I'm completely fine with just this.

Would loveeee Killer7 on PC. It would look so clean. Never going to happen though. I tried booting the game up on Dolphin a while back but it ran no bueno on my PC.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Wow, didn't se that coming. This is a really promising turn of events if we start seeing more of these quirky Japanese action games on PC. Bayonetta may happen yet

I really enjoyed what I played of it on PS3, even with the technical limitations.

 

[Harlock]

Shadow of the Damned uses Unreal 3. Should run like god on any PC. And is a game that lacks game+ mode and other things good to get on a PC port.

 

[Dominic_Shade]

Suddenly I'm interested.

This, basically. Always wanted to try this out, but never got around to buying the PS3 version.

 

[KissVibes]

Finally the price it should've been. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

 

[kewlmyc]

....uh, sure why not. Rather have Shadows of the Damned though.

 

[InternHertz]

Yup, I'm double dipping for sure <3

 

[DeaviL]

Great Succes, damn good news.

 

[greenfish]

Would loveeee Killer7 on PC. It would look so clean. Never going to happen though. I tried booting the game up on Dolphin a while back but it ran no bueno on my PC.

You could try the ps2 version (pcsx2) should run better.

Yes killer7 looks very good thanks to it's artwork, holds up well.

 

[Tizoc]

The game DOES have a New Game+ mode.

 

[Tenck]

Well I know what I have to buy now. We need more Japanese games on PC.

 

[Harlock]

The game DOES have a New Game+ mode.

You talk about Shadows? I am sure the original game dont have a new game plus.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/21/shadows-of-the-damned-review/

It's also worth noting that there is no "New Game Plus" option upon finishing Shadows of the Damned, a strange omission for an upgrade-centric title.

 

[michaelius]

Will we need Durante help to save us from lack of graphic options ?

Anyway nice I'll get it on pc instead of ps3 now.

 

[UnluckyKate]

This is amazing news. I hope we got more japanese games on PC. It's one big blow to consoles exclusivity. It was for these games I bought consoles

 

[NotLiquid]

Killer Is Dead has to be one of the most stylish games with surprisingly satisfying combat coming from Suda. As far as game play goes it has to be one of his best yet. Can't imagine how great it's going to look in 60 frames.

 

[ArjanN]

So, in one year-ish:

- Deadly Premonition
- Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
- Ikaruga
- Resident Evil 4 HD
- Killer is Dead
- King of Fighters XIII
- Metal Slug 3
- Trails in the Sky First/Second
- Metal Gear Rising
- Agarest
- Typing of the Dead: Overkill
- Ninja Gaiden Yaiba (lol)

Reeeeaaally awesome trend, hopefully it continues.

Yeah, this is great. I'm guessing the increased cost of developing for next-gen consoles is a factor also making japanese devs look elsewhere.

 

[Tizoc]

You talk about Shadows? I am sure the original game dont have a new game plus.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/21/shadows-of-the-damned-review/

Oh I thought u meant KiD, but yeah SotD didn't have a New Game+ like mode which would've been an interesting addition.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Wow, I'll double dip. Ended up being my favorite game from Grasshopper Manufacture. Can't wait to play it at higher resolutions and framerates.

 

[Tain]

Will we need Durante help to save us from lack of graphic options ?

Anyway nice I'll get it on pc instead of ps3 now.

UE3 so hopefully not.

 

[brb]

Best news all day. Didn't pick it up on PS3 so I'll definitely pick this up on PC, the added content is a new bonus too!

 

[CrackPebbles]

Oh that's cool! will buy since I did not get the console version.

 

[ambientmystic]

Excellent news. Not a completely surprising one though, given the engine (UE3) used which should make it a cinch to port over, just like the many other belated PC ports we've gotten so far.

Japanese devs getting their feet wet on the PC/Steam with some no/low risk ports is one of the best things to happen with PC gaming in the past couple of years or so.

While it has been an admittedly mixed bag so far, I think that they have to start somewhere, so I am inclined to forgive less than stellar ports as long as the next ones are an improvement.

 

[Drain You]

You could try the ps2 version (pcsx2) should run better.

Yes killer7 looks very good thanks to it's artwork, holds up well.

Did not even think of that. Hopefully the Ps2 version isn't pricey.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Out of all the SUDA games, why did it have to be this one?

 

[Kaleinc]

Great, I hope the port won't need fixes.

 

[Vazra]

Out of all the SUDA games, why did it have to be this one?

Great, I hope the port won't need fixes.

Being Unreal Engine a lot of things tend to be easy tweaks.

 

[Krusenstern]

SUDA51, welcome to PC! Have my moneys!
Give me Shadows of the Damned and I will give you even more money.

At this rate I will need consoles solely for exclusives.

 

[Miguel81]

This makes a lot sense. Last generation went on too long and enthusiast console gamers must have started to jump ship, and along with them came more console/Japanese ports. More character action and fighting games have come to PC in the last 3 years, then the 10 years before that. Jrpgs next please!

 

[stump sock]

I can't even aim because of a glitch. Terrible port.

I eventually got around that by putting it in win98 compatibility mode, but then it started crashing to desktop on every cutscene. that port is really, really bad.

 

[Mupod]

Well, sure wasn't expecting that. But I'll take it.

 

[jediyoshi]

So

many

waifus

 

[dhlt25]

still haven't open my ps3 copy yet...

 

[DigitalDevilSummoner]

Very mixed feelings about this. On one hand it's cool I'll have a reason to replay the game, on the other it's short of a confirmation that the game that was supposed to put Suda back on the Killer7 track fell flat on its face.

I still love this guy.

Reeeeaaally awesome trend, hopefully it continues.

Not really a new trend. It's very usual to see lots of console ports at the end of every gen. Old gen cannot push software anymore and new gen hasn't caught up yet, so you see lot's of publishers testing the PC waters.

 

[Jirotrom]

Loving all these ports... All I need is CULDCEPT saga poted over and I will be the happiest PC gamer yet

 

[dragonlife]

Fuck yes.

 

[Nillansan]

On the other it's short of a confirmation that the game that was supposed to put Suda back on the Killer7 track fell flat on its face.

What do you mean?

Not really a new trend. It's very usual to see lots of console ports at the end of every gen. Old gen cannot push software anymore and new gen hasn't caught up yet, so you see lot's of publishers testing the PC waters.

It is a new trend. When did we last see this amount of Japanese games release on the PC within such a short span of time?
