I think the trailer would have been received better without the whole song bit and just giving us the gameplay. This looks pretty fun to me though.

 

[Kacho]

Never heard of the "Blazing Fast Growth" genre. Is that like Vampire Survivors and the like where its essentially Diablo 3 progression in 20-30 minutes?

Anyway, I did some research. This is a Hiroyuki Kobayashi joint. Former Capcom dev. Dudes work history is extensive, mostly producer roles, which dates back to the OG Resident Evil on PSX.

He left Capcom in March 2022 to join NetEase. GPTRACK50 Studio is a subsidiary of NetEase.

Stupid never dies, indeed. It just makes a GAF account.

 

[Hypereides]

Totally up my alley. Getting some strong Lollipop chainsaw undertones. Digging the graphic design and style.

The studio apparently got some former DMC devs working involved.

 

[Punished Miku]

Could be fun. Will definitely keep an eye on it.

 

[TonberrysKnife]

Definitely getting Lollipop Chainsaw vibes from it. Not bad.

 

[StereoVsn]

Looks somewhat interesting. The sort of a game I might grab during a Steam sale a year after a release.

Looks like a spiritual successor to Lollipop Chainsaw. The college rock song was major turn off though.

 

[Soodanim]

This is far more interesting to me than the trailers that take themselves so seriously. Fun looks like the goal here, and the abilities look like they make for good gameplay.

I'm not entirely sure about the song part. Maybe if it was a bit shorter…

 

[Plague Doctor]

Not a fan of the music vid thing going on there but the gameplay looked interesting. Definitely seeing the DMC DNA in it.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

A Zoomer-only game?

I'm going to remain optimistic on this one because his pedigree of games is fantastic.

This could be a very fun game albeit stupid as the title suggests.

A new trailer for Stupid Never Dies revealed brand new gameplay for this zombie-starring body-hacking RPG, where you fight to revive your frozen girlfriend. It's coming to PC & PlayStation later this year.

 

[BennyBlanco]

This looks dumb but maybe good also. Ex Capcom guys funded by NetEase.

 

[Moondoggy]

Looking forward to this, seems like just the right amount of dumb fun.

 

[mèx]

Hmm, so it looks like a rogue like somewhat? Not really what I expected.

 

[Innominat]

this needs a new thread with the new trailer but I don't have thread making rights

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Coming 2026. WISHLIST NOW!!

Introdution footage of total 11 types of Styles that you can acquire and dynamically switch between during the gameplay!

This is looking great. If I had a complaint, and I feel I'm nitpicking but I'm just being honest, the hits against enemies seem to lack a feeling of implied impact, makes the combat feel less punchey and dramatic. They should change up the sound effects, use more than just the punch sound effect for hits as well, maybe experiment with hit stun a bit more as well, but in general this is probably the first character action game I've been excited for in years.
