I'm going to be the stupidly hopeful one and say resources? Didn't want to take time away from the development of the game?StuBurns said:
This, Alice & Child of Eden all feel like games thrown out in June by the publishers without the marketing I'd really have expected. This & Alice especially (as while interested in both, not as hyped as I've been for CoE) both shocked me when I realised they were coming out in June. Really thought they were Fall titles.

They look like RE4 to me.
RE4 controls are superb.
They have to really badly replicate them to be terrible.

This looks great, but I"ll probably wait for a price drop. Gotta start saving money and not impulse-buying games all the time.
Not always, but in situations such as this, yeah, I assume the same. It certainly could be an issue of resources, but EA could have produced demos themselves.zoner said:
Child of Eden is a different thing I think, it's going to sell what it sells. Rez is a cult title, the 360 exclusivity must have been compensated in terms of marketing budget. Alice and SotD are just out there. Alice I more understand, but EA made this game out to be a huge deal at one time. Having staff come out and announce the fact something was in-development, now it's just been thrown under the bus, and EA have nothing bigger out this quarter I know of anyway.

Unf unf. Been waiting on this game for ages. Finally it arrives. Day one purchase. And yeah I know people are calling wonky gameplay on this one, but I enjoyed the hell out of Killer 7 so Suda is one of the few people in the industry who can win me over with just the style.

Playing Alice now, if I end up not liking it- this is my go to game. Gotta slim down my purchases for this holiday!

I was planning on pre-ordering the 360 version since it's $3 cheaper at Amazon, but I almost never buy games at launch because the price usually falls by 10 or 20 bucks so quickly. And I have other games that I wanted to finish first.
I'm not sure how true that really is.ToyMachine228 said:
According to this interview, Guarini also had quite a lot of input into the aesthetics and story. It kind of sounds to me like this is a 'Super 8' type situation where a director works at a game in the style of other creators , who produce it to get their names on the cover.
Buying the game day one. Love the look of this one graphically and just gives me an RE4 vibe which is one of my favorite games of all time. Seems to have the feel of that game although you can move and shoot at the same time. My only question mark is if the game is simply too samey all the way through. Move, get trapped by monsters, shoot light source to remove threat, repeat. Looking very linear too but its looking a little like RE4 on an acid trip. Definitely excited.

I'll just say this - Killer7 remains one of the greatest game experiences I ever let myself take part in. It felt like I was falling down the rabbit hole and I couldn't be the same when I came out the other end. Very few interactive experiences can make you feel that way. If one of Grasshopper's/Suda's works can re-capture that feeling I'll be impressed.
I don`t know,of course I want it to be good but after seeing the Qore footage,I have a bad feeling about this one...the camera seems to be placed behind his knees or something,making everything look small around him and the huge single ennemy doesn`t help either...gameplay looks looks very clunky with no sense of progression it seems...is it all set pieces or do you actually explore and move around?...waiting for impressions on this one,hopefully it`s a nice surprise game like Alice or Nier last year.

Whelp. I had no idea this was coming out soon. Plus I hadn't seen much more than the original announcement trailer. Once the sidekick showed up in the gameplay trailer I was sold. Added to my buy list.

I like the works of both of the guys behind this game. For some reason I'm not sure what to think about this game. The demos and trailers have been interesting but I haven't been urged to purchase.

I went ahead and pre-ordered this. I've been pretty stingy this year but I'm going all out for this one.
Go watch the trailers if you haven't already. I'm already sending links to the trailers to my friends on facebook. I'm hoping good word of mouth helps to move this one. I saw what happened to Vanquish and I don't want a repeat. This could be a great long running franchise if it sells.

Dev Diary. They get Shinji to talk about the game and they show some gameplay footage. They give him and the other guy goofy voiceovers while interviewing them which is funny becuase one voice is British. .This is looking redhot.

I applaud the devs for their creative choices actually. It's a shame stuff like this doesn't sell well but it will just make me happy to play it.
And it's hilarious that this is actually tame and kinda watered down coming from Suda lol. It's kind of giving me a Big Trouble in Little China vibe actually.

what does 'rit' mean? He's been working on multiple projects? Wow I never knew of this :O
edit: lol probably a typo.

But yeah, Suda just worked on the script and produced this one. It was the same situation with NMH2.
He's involved in a Kinect XBLA game called Project D, a collaboration with Yuji Naka, and maybe one with Kojima as well. I think he's directing the Yuji Naka collaboration.

Tears of joy are being shed at that Yuji Naka collab. Hopefully we get some info during tgs
No, he's not doing a collaboration with Yuji Naka. There's just some confusion because both games were announced at the same time. Yuji Naka's game with Kadokawa Games is called Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii/3DS. We haven't had any other info yet on the Suda game (a trademark might point towards Lollipop Chainsaw being the name).

It still has a huge Suda51 vibe to it, but I mean it is his studio making the game after all.
