SAMURAI CHAMPLOO (PS2): New Gameplay Footage:
http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2441


Well, it actually looks kinda hot. Hmm, maybe Famitsu wasn't so far off.. ?!

 

[Randam_Hajile]

I don't really know what to think from the trailers, since I can't truly tell what they're doing as far as gameplay other than hacking and slashing. I do look forward to trying it though, as the thought of a rhythm based action game (especially in the Champloo universe) just seems awesome. And Famitsu did score it well, so here's hoping.

 

[Kakusha]

There's something about it that reminds of Killer 7 somehow.

It's developed by the same company: Grasshopper Manufacture.

 

[Fix]

Got HUD?

 

[ghibli99]

Got HUD?

:lol Yeah, it's kinda ridiculous. Music sounds pretty good, though!

I'd written this game off a while back, but these videos are strangely compelling. Definitely would love to hear some impressions from people who have played it!

 

[pj]

Looks a lot better in motion than it did in stills.

PLEASE DONT SUCK

 

[Deadly Monk]

I just got this, I hope it's okay. Good reviews so far though...

 

[guise]

There are not enough games in the world which involve samurai's slashing primates.

I have hope once again after seeing the early screenshots, I seriously loved the shows OST so hopefully they have Force of Nature/Fat Jon/Nujabees/Tsutchie on the game - Does anyone know if they do or not?

Not sure about the rest of the game, but I can say for sure that the game has a *very* similar intro movie as the anime. Same song, I think, too.

Regarding the game:

No shit?
Awesome. I just finished the entire series and Killer 7 was my Game of the Year last year so this is looking very promising for me.

[Callo Merlose]

The first song sounds champlooish, but the second... not so much.

 

[Captain N]

The gameplay footage makes it seem like there's a whole lot going on and popping up onto the screen. I hope this game does come out here in the states.

 

[Big Icarus]

That may be the ugliest HUD I have ever seen.

 

[Jive Turkey]

WTF? This game has pulled off a pretty amazin 180 from the sound of it!

 

[OatmealMu]

I'd kind of figured a game based on such a stylish show would have an aesthetically pleasing interface. What are they trying to mimic anyway? A stereo?

 

[phonte]

WOW

that looked to have come out of nowhere.

was it cel-shaded?

if so, it's probably the best cel-shading i've seen this gen.

 

[Mr_Furious]

If this isn't at E3, I'm importing for sure

OH SHIT I'm buying this today!!

 

[JRPereira]

Looks somewhat neat. Samaurai Champloo is awesome, but I don't know if I'd buy the game just yet.

 

[Callo Merlose]

Was that Bebop game canned or what? Wait, it came out, right? How was it?

The Bebop PS2 game was utter shit and the fact that it took so long to make despite being total shit is :lol

I guess it comes out in the US soon but anyone who buys it is just throwing money down the trash.

Well, I was one of the people that bought State of Emergency. So, it cant be that bad.

[thetrin]

I was totally floored when I was on the GM site and saw Champloo on their projects list. That automatically made me insanely interested in the game. It seems to have that odd flair that Killer 7 had (and seems to have a couple of the sounds too).

I loved the Champloo anime, but anime based games normally suck. I sure hope this doesn't.

 

[Tain]

Consider me surprised.

In a good way.

 

[Tachikoma]

Thanks for the vids, Bebpo! After seeing these, I wont hold off on picking up the game anymore. Having watched the fansubs, I'm sure the english voice acting i nthe game will drive me up the wall, so I'll be importing.
