I have no idea what this is. Looks like MGS meets Gladiator.
 
this is what passes for good art? if it wasn't from capcom you guys would be claiming the game to look terrible.

I don't care who it's from. Capcom games that aren't called Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Onimusha 2, or PN03 usually look uninspired to me. This has a thoroughly faithful western look that doesn't involve marines or elves, which is something of a rarity.
 
i read about this game in edge. these screens all feature one of the two playable characters. he's into stealth, obviously. the other guy's levels are all very combat-oriented and insanely bloody. the game has potential, judging from the article and screens.
 
Well in this location outside of the arena. There's been Gladius, Circus Maximus, and some other shitty one that I seem to have blocked from my memory. And if I had to guess this will be mostly arena based as well, with annoying off games with the second character...

speaking of which, have there ever been games outside of the point and click genre that have had two distinct characters with different play styles where one of them didn't suck total ass?

You'd think companies would learn it's okay to have one polished game instead of two shitty ones crammed together.
 
shadow of rome breaks down like this.

really fantastic fighting engine with great gladitorial combat and a shoddy, wannabe stealth character who completely ruins the game's flow. stealth should be left to the companies that know how to do it right. i hate half-assed stealth.

this doesnt look good to me art wise, but i think KuF NAILED that westernized look.
 
One of my top five of last E3. Easily. Never before has slicing a human in half felt so satisfying. And beating him with his own arm too! Then throwing his head into the crowd for a cheer!

*sigh*

I can't wait to get this home!
 
Action = good, stealth = bad. Why why WHY do they juste HAVE to ruin a good action game with these stupid stealth sequences ?
 
It's not really an amazing looking game, but in motion, it runs at a smooth 60 fps and animates pretty well. It really doesn't shine in stills...
