The No More Heroes series is over, its creator says | VGC

“Goodbye Travis Touchdown…

www.videogameschronicle.com

Goichi Suda – otherwise known as Suda51 – took to Twitter today to draw a line under the series, informing fans that this was the end of the road for its hero Travis Touchdown.

“This game is called No More Heroes 3 Final Bout: All-Out Galactic War,” he joked. “Or it was going to be called that, but the subtitle was just too long so we ended up taking a hint from the Rocky series and simply going with No More Heroes 3 instead.”

“As hinted at with the ‘Final’ thing, Travis Touchdown will finally be coming to the end of his final battle, and will be embarking on a much-deserved, long journey. Join him as he goes absolutely buck wild in the Garden – no, Cosmos of Madness!

“Now, carrying with it a thousand thoughts, I run along the Thunder Road once more. As one journey ends, the crimson bike falls into a deep sleep.

“Goodbye, Travis. Goodbye, No More Heroes. Goodbye, fleeting moments and days. Farewell, to all Travis Touchdowns everywhere.”

Well at least the series went out on a high no...

oh wait...

 

[bender]

Let me squint a little.

Well at least the Suda51 got high.

Yep.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I hope SUDA51 make a sequel of Killer is dead... Or a final cross over with no more héroes.

 

[Zambatoh]

It's been an interesting 14 years with this series. I'd say it's had a good run.

 

[ethomaz]

Sadly it was a bad way to end a franchise

 

[jaysius]

3 really is a good number for any series. 4ths in many games have been huge mistakes, and awful. Most people get sick of characters after 3 complete series entries. If you “need” to make a 4th with new characters scrape the IP and come up with something derivative of your base ideas, don’t be so fucking lazy and risk averse.

You played and finished the game?!

 

[Trimesh]

No more heroes no more.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Good.
Time to finally make that Killer 7 sequel.

 

[Danjin44]

Any story needs to end at some point, not everybody is like Ubisoft that would drag the series forever.

 

[Kuranghi]

I'm surprised people are saying its bunk, as Ben Moore from EZA loved it and he seems to know what he's talking about generally with these type of games.

Ppeople in this thread, whats bad about it in your opinions?

 

[jigglet]

I honestly didn't get the hate for the over world in #1. It was so small you could literally get anywhere you wanted within about 30 seconds.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

And after 3, thanks a lot for that. That's a great move. NH2 is the best and only one gamers should care about.

Now, try something fresh!

 

[sublimit]

No more heroes no more.

Sounds like a great title for the next intallment!

 

[Bakkus]

Good.

How are they gonna do that? It seems impossible to make a sequel to that game for story reasons I won't spoil.

 

[mejin]

No more heroes, please...

It was never good

 

[Chupanibre]

[N0S]

 

[ethomaz]

Well the two first games were good imo.
It is just that 3rd one is sub par compared with the other 2… I’m not even sure what they were thinking changing a lot of know things in the franchise.

 

[Jeeves]

A lot of people talking like they've already played the third game here.

 

[Spukc]

Honestly the second one was already meh compared to the first imo.

even the first at a certain point i really didn’t care.
Madworld seemed more fun

 

[Danjin44]

I’m playing the 3rd game now and I can safely say I like it more than the 2nd game, there is lot of things 2nd game did that did not liked compare to the 1st game and 3rd is much more closer to what I personally liked about 1st game.

I refuse to believe 3 can possibly be worse than 1.
I played like 3 hours of 1 earlier this year and it was easily one of the worst games I've played in the last 10 years.

 

[SantaC]

Good riddance

 

[FranXico]

Yeah, SUDA51, people kind of noticed.

 

[jufonuk]

good combat , overworld looks bad. I can tell there will be lots of padding in side quest style games and pop culture references. So just like the other two games. Which I played. Not sure about this though. Maybe I’ll pick all the switch
Games up at one point.

I know fans will overlook some downsides to the game. But I dunno.

 

[eyesabitdull]

Having played the first two, NMH3 looks like visually disappointing after hoping that the game would improve significantly since the first game.

Based in video reveals, the game looks rough. Reviews ain't kind either, but that shouldn't count much since the game was always a cult hit.

What's more disappointing is SUDA 51.

So much potential with their crazy ideas, but they just never managed to adapt to modern gaming and create anything worthwhile since the PS3/XBOX360A days.

 

[Onironauta]

The complaints in this thread are silly. NMH were always "bad" but charming games.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

Time to finally make that Killer 7 sequel.

The complaints are silly because some people like ethomaz never even played the game for once and are only looking at the mixed or poor reviews while ignoring several of the good ones. Really lame to act like the game is averaged at like 5 or 6/10 when in reality most critics would recommend the game.

 

[Danjin44]

I don’t agree, I never considered NMH as “bad” games but they are niche for a good reason and it won’t appeal to most people.

 

[nordique]

I’d like him to do something else as well

 

[M1chl]

I hope SUDA51 make a sequel of Killer is dead... Or a final cross over with no more héroes.

amazing game, finished it again after all that Cyberpunk 2077 shit and it was maybe even better than when I was play it for first time.

 

[TheGrat1]

No more heroes, please...

 

[Ikutachi]

Good.
Time to finally make that Killer 7 sequel.

Killer7 and No More Heroes exist in the same universe.

 

[oagboghi2]

Ppeople in this thread, whats bad about it in your opinions?

Almost none of them have played it

 

[Arsic]

I'd love to see him go back to more silvercase but not as a visual novel. Maybe an adventure game with detective elements and some light gunplay.

Or hell Let It Die 2

 

[Dwight Schrute]

The game is full of occurences when they say the opposite.

 

[Astral Dog]

Its a little sad in a way, but if this is the end at least they managed to release a fun send off. At least suda will continue making games

 

[TonberrysKnife]

Good.

Or, the directors cut of Killer7. The game is only a third of what Suda wanted to make.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Well at least the series went out on a high no...

oh wait...

Dont talk about Shenmue 3 like th-

Oh this is for the other long awaited poor third game sequel to a series releasing many years after the second.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Or, the directors cut of Killer7. The game is only a third of what Suda wanted to make.

That sounds good - id even like just a Killer 7 HD version for consoles.
PC/Steam has had a port for ages.

Killer7 and No More Heroes exist in the same universe.

Interesting. I wasnt aware of that.

In Travis Strikes Again, Badman is visited by Dan Smith of The Smith Syndicate.

 

[Ol'Scratch]

Good, give me a new Shadows of the Damned

 

[Trimesh]

Sounds like a great title for the next intallment!

Yo! more heroes!
