This game looks like country oven fried shit compared to Wanda.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Some very questionable color palette usage...

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The showfloor presentation video made this game look very very nice, these screens don't seem to do it justice.

I agree.

 

[Elios83]

In this video it looks better than Onimusha 3 IMO.

I want Bujingai 2.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I want Bujingai 2.

It's coming don't worry. They announced it soon after the Japanese release.

 

[Brandon F]

Genji doesn't look bad at all in that video, quite an improvement over what I've seen in Blood Will Tell lately(neat little game as it is).

How was Bujingai? The middling reviews kept me at bay, but sword-based action games usually go over well with me, and my curiosity still remains strong.

Not to me.
Yoshiki Okamoto proves again why he is so amazing.
Can't wait for it. Fuck Wanda.

Mmm.

 

[Meier]

I hope it's just the result of bad captures because the artstyle for this game is arguably the best in any game I've ever seen. It's utterly gorgeous... but I just cant play a game with massive amounts of jaggies any more. They're unacceptable in 2004 (nearly 2005).

 

[boutrosinit]

That looks like a very highly polished hack and slash. I want this very much indeed.

Genji = owning me.

 

[Belfast]

Looks like a poor attempt and replicating Onimusha 3 (which was beautiful, for the most part).

 

[Lord Error]

Some of the pictures look really nice, some not so.

This one I like. When I saw it at first I thought it was a concept art for the game, and not an actual screenshot.

 

[ferricide]

i vehemently disagree. that's the whole reason the game looks good.

That would be some mighty aliased concept art.

 

[Kiriku]

I like the zoomed out pics the best.
And it's funny how this game was revealed at the same time as Wanda, 'cause it's like the total opposite to Wanda when it comes to color palette. Wanda uses colors with low saturation, has a very grey and soft look to it. Genji has very high saturation, sharp colors. But both games partly rely on their color palettes to create distinctive graphical styles IMO.

 

[belgurdo]

Is there a good reason to be excited about this? I see these screens and just see an amalgamation of every guy-with-sword-chop-em-up brawler that's been coming out since 2001...

people are saying it's one of the better ones. i felt the same as you so i didn't bother playing it at TGS, but i've been hearing really positive stuff from those who did. wish i'd've given it a shot now.

aside from PSP and wanda, sony's booth was 'fuck off, unoriginal game" central. i walked right past arc the lad generations and wild arms 739273 without playing them because the last ones in the series were so unnecessary. wish i'd given genji more than a glance now.

 

[Matlock]

Are we certain this isn't for PSP?

 

[nitewulf]

This game looks like country oven fried shit compared to Wanda.

ahhh, but what doesn't?

this looks very generic to me, not bad, just generic. we've seen lots of these before. bald guy with the big weapon, fruity metrosexual with the sword. folklore/myth based locales and boss(es). but as an action game fan i'll say we cant have enough of these games.

Truly Wanda is something special.

And I now the position your in. I think, I shouldn't be so attracted to this game, but I just am.

Anyway theory no.1 I saw a lot of these shots at the official site except they were much smaller, so I wonder if these are blown up captures?

 

[Lord Error]

Well, that's the thing that gave it away, but other than that, it really does look like a concept art, especially if look from a few feet away so you can't see the individual pixels.

 

[Matlock]

I'd also like to mirror nitewulf's "generic" comments and add in "boring."

There's no life in this game. :-\

[edit] - in reference to the visual style

 

[aku:jiki]

How was Bujingai?

Painfully mediocre. And that's coming from a huge fan of the stylish 3rd person action dude-with-a-sword-and/or-gun-and-colorful-splashing-effects type of beat 'em up genre.

I will agree that the video looked much better, though. Looked pretty good indeed. And, despite the bad aliasing here, this still looks good. The colors are great, I especially like the vibrant yellow.
