Guys, guys, let's all agree not to buy the game so the price crashes and then I can buy it for cheap! (You can too, but it's harder to get excited about that.) Thanks!

Mikami does not even work at Platinum. He is starting his own development studio and is kind of freelancing for the time being. He directed Vanquish, which is developed by Platinum and published by Sega but he does not work there. And as far as Shadows of the Damned, he's listed as "Creative Producer" and certainly had a hand in the game, but does not work at Grasshopper permanently.

Had no idea...now I need to find out who is responsible for the awesomeness that was Bayonetta.
EDIT: The boss trailer music was cool, but looking at the other gameplay videos, they could've cut that one together better. Kinda makes the game seem slower than what it is.

Yeap, Hideki Kayima. His credentials include directing Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Bayonetta. This is why I posted Mikami's credentials. People always get Kayima and Mikami confused. Mikami did produce some of Kayima's titles at Capcom like RE2 and Devil May Cry.
Hideki Kayima is NOT involved in Shadows of the Damned whatsoever, doesn't even work at the same company, so let's leave the Kayima discussion for another thread.

The tag line under the title on the box reads: "A Suda 51 Trip"
Gotta love it.

Damn, I didn't know this game was coming out so soon. Looking forward to it.

The only reason i haven't preordered this game ages ago is that I'm waiting to know on what platform to play it; Did we get any word concerning the lead platform or anything?
I think I'll wait until reviews and comparisons go up. It's not as if I don't have tons of other things to do in the meantime.

GameStop has Shadows of the Damned in it's new weekly ad! At least one retailer knows it's coming out.
I like Mikami but have serious problems gameplay wise with Suda games. I hope they somehow cancel each other out. And even then I guess I will be able to pick it up for cheap soon anyway. Jeez lots of people here don#t know it's coming out and I don't think I heard about it in the press since TGS.

To be honest I don't think either are heavily involved in the title outside of putting their names on the box for marketing purposes
I remember reading a Mikami interview where he stated he just visited the office like once a month to see how things were going

From the most latest interviews they've had, Mikami got more hands on with the title as it was nearing completion, which would suggest that it's likely a reasonably polished game. Well, more polished than the average GHM title, heh.Retro_ said:
Suda seems to be in the role that he was for NMH2: involved with the creative aspects like the script and the general look and feel while handing the reigns to a different director.
When they started showing off the gameplay demos, I was taken aback by the inclusion of a 180 quickturn while aiming. I don't know why more games don't include this, since it sounds like the best idea ever.

I don't think Mikami had a lot of "hands-on" influence on the game's development but as I understand it, it's basically Mikami and Suda's vision. Suda's style for the world, and Mikami's gameplay concept.

Also I would completely disagree that Garcia is a generic character. He's Hispanic for God's sake. Like, actually Hispanic. Has a Hispanic accent and everything. When was the last time we saw a Hispanic as the main character of a game?
lordoftherink still does them weekly but the threads hardly get bumped. I believe it was sometime last year sometime when they stopped sticking them on the front page. I don't think they were ever done monthly but if they dropped weekly updates I don't think they'd do monthly.Teknoman said:

for someone who's been counting the days, it's kinda sad how this game's imminent release is taking so many by surprise. either that, or i'm just too damn niche for my own good

#1 game in my Gamefly queue, so I hope I they send it this Monday. I would've just bought it if it were a real Mikami x Suda game, but oh well.

You can still support them by buying the game once it drops to a price that is more reflective of its development budget.

Meh, I regularly pay $90 for shooters that probably cost 1/1000th of the average AAAAAAA HD game, but that doesn't stop them from being the better purchase.
