Updates:

Hybrid disc release with the game and Short Peace anime film coming in January.

In addition, the anime's PlayStation 3 video game, titled Yukigimi Ranko no Ichiban Nagai Hi (Ranko Yukigimi's Longest Day), will ship in Japan on January 16 for 6,980 yen (about US$70). The 2D scrolling game tells the story of the fifth short in Short Peace, which was not included in the anime film. (The game's disc will contain the full anime film as well.) The story follows the unreal daily life of three high school girls, one of whom happens to be an assassin. Gōichi "Suda51" Suda (No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw) and Yōhei Kataoka (Tokyo Jungle) are developing the game.

Yeah they confirmed it the other day. There's actually trailer footage of the game's anime FMVs and a tiny bit of gameplay here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ihx542wz2M&feature=player_detailpage#t=183

Someone capped stuff from the Bandai Namco stream earlier.

I'm only making this thread because Nirolak asked me to!

So apparently the magazine leaks from Japan this week started early, and there's a surprise announcement for the PS3.

Katsuhiro Otomo's Short Peace anime omnibus film opens on July 20 in Japan, and it features a collection of 4 short films by by 4 different directors. This game is considered the 5th entry in that collection. It will be directed by Yohei Kataoka and written by Suda51. The game is described as a "2D side scrolling high speed effect action game" where you defeat enemies using effects. The setting is modern day Japan.

 

[Mpl90]

These are Dengeki news, I suppose, right?

 

[Nirolak]

Thanks duck.

 

[thetrin]

So many things about this sound awesome.

 

[wonzo]

Hopefully Kataoka can reign in Suda51's badness.

 

[Nirolak]

Hopefully Kataoka can reign in Suda51's badness.

Suda is only writing the game, not designing it.

 

[thetrin]

Suda is only writing the game, not designing it.

Which is the way it should be, imo. I love Suda's writing.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Suda providing the concept paired with someone with actual game design chops is a recipe for success. This could be pretty cool. I trust Mr. Tokyo Jungle with 2D action.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Oh shit, Tokyo Jungle staff member as well as Suda? Even more hype now!

 

[distantmantra]

I wonder I this is going to be a downloadable title or included with the film when it hits Blu-ray as another hybrid disc?

 

[MrCookiepants]

lol @ Suda51 (crap). You didn't lie. This could be interesting, though.

 

[duckroll]

The game is being developed at Crispy, so it's not just Kataoka, it's probably the entire team.

Hybrid disc is my guess as well. Seems like a good way to sell more Short Peace blu-rays in game stores when it's released.

Why can't I hold all these hypes?!

 

[randomkid]

Subscribed. Will follow Kataoka/Crispy anywhere.

Nice.

Sounds good. What are the chances of this coming over?

 

[Drencrom]

works for Gamestop (crap)

 

[Rulp]

Very cool.

 

[koryuken]

Sounds awesome. Any info on when can we see trailer/screenshots/etc ?

Bandai has been pumping out hybrid discs, so this makes the most sense.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Makes me even more excited for Short Peace. I hope it somehow comes to the states, but I'm definitely not expecting anything.

 

[duckroll]

There's a tiny scan floating around now showing the main character design. Also I got the title wrong so I'm going to fix the thread title. I suck!

 

[GhaleonQ]

Indeed. Combustible is fricking superb, the best thing he's ever done, and Kataoka (and, screw it, Suda a little bit) make me just as excited as that association.

[BadWolf]

Looks very nice I think, definitely interested.

Here's hoping it gets localized.

 

[Midnight Moon]

Looks awesome o_o

Okay so Suda is the assassin game maker? All his characters seem to be killers lol

Wonder if it will have a physical release, looks like something that would be on PSN so far.

Story (This is 150% Suda-nonsense)
Ranko Tsukigime is the only daughter of the Tsukigime Enterprise family living by herself in a parking lot. They're the underground company which has the monopoly over the monthly parking lot business in all of Japan. She's a cheeky schoolgirl by day, and a deadly hitman by night. One night, while going after her intended target, she finds herself being chased by an evil organization out to get her. (Yes the entire premise is a silly pun on tsukigime parking.)


Gameplay
The game is said to be an easy to understand 2D sidescrolling action game where enemies are chasing you and you have to run to the objective, while fending enemies off by attacking them with on-screen effects. There will also be unique stages where there are giant boss enemies, The game design, art, and direction are all being handled by Crispy's.

 

[Rarity]

I can't comprehend what's going on by the screens, so surely it will appeal to me.

Thanks for the details!

 

[Gbraga]

I have no idea of what's going on in those screenshots, but I love the idea and the trailer for the anime was jaw dropping. Definitely interested, I hope I can get everything in one blu-ray.

[zeopower6]

dat violin-ish weaponarm.

And is that redjuice art I see? -drools-

 

[SolidSnakex]

There's a very short trailer available

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY36RZftqXY

 

[cj_iwakura]

Which is the way it should be, imo. I love Suda's writing.

All of Suda's directed games are brilliant. Hint: he hasn't directed a game since No More Heroes.


That said, Tokyo Jungle was brilliant too. Very reminiscent of something KTP-era Suda would do.


Okay, hype growing, love what I see.

 

[jayu26]

There's a very short trailer available

Wow, I'm in.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Loved TJ, love Suda, will try even though it doesn't sound interesting hah

 

[Astarte]

Suda is only writing the game, not designing it.

Suda's writing is fucking fantastic! Killer 7 is still the best story I've experience in video gaming, granted he wrote it with the help of Mikami.

 

[Coxy]

looks somewhere between strider and joe danger to me, weird but looks pretty nice

 

[duckroll]

 

[iavi]

Kozaki? sign me up

 

[Gbraga]

Shit, day one.

Cool, I didn't see anyone talking about it here so I figured I'd help out people who aren't on top of all the TGS news.

 

[Astarte]

He directed liberation maiden
Everyone forgets liberation maiden, but you'll all see when that VN comes out!

Spoiler

see a suda game bomb harder

Let's go suda! Killer is Dead may not be GOTY, but I enjoyed piecing together the plot!

So it's basically Suda does Strider?

I'm in.

 

[duckroll]

I don't think anyone posted it because it's too niche.

I've been too busy playing GTA5 too. Sorry!

He directed liberation maiden

Nah, he was just the "concept/creative director" for it like pretty much all the Grasshopper games these days.

 

[distantmantra]

I don't think anyone posted it because it's too niche.

As evidenced by the threads I've made in the past, I'm all about the niche/weird/Japan-only games.

I've been too busy playing GTA5 too. Sorry!

No worries. I'm probably the only one on GAF who has zero interest in GTAV.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Oh, this is an old thread.

I was about to be really disappointed in duckroll for reusing a joke!
