Checked GD, checked TGS2010 thread, the [media=youtube]x5U4vz8nSJU"[/media] looked awesome enough to warrant its own thread.
From Capcom and Cyberconnect2 (.hack, Naruto Ultimate Hero series), in light of the awful looking DMC reboot, Capcom also unveiled Asura’s Wrath at TGS today. Can’t say much about gameplay, but the trailer speaks for itself.
Unreal Engine + SFIV art style + over the top super powers pitting man (?) vs. GIANT SPACE BUDDHA SHINING FINGER
EDIT:
Description taken from the above youtube link: A brand new title scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and PlayStation®3, ASURA’S WRATH sees Capcom join forces with Japanese developer CyberConnect2. Inspired by Asian mythology and fused with science fiction, ASURA’S WRATH will redefine the action genre by delivering unprecedented levels of dynamism, drama and interaction.
Once a revered deity, Asura was betrayed by his fellow gods and stripped of all his powers. Consumed by anger at the injustice he has suffered and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his enemies. By channelling his inner rage, Asura is now able to unleash devastating attacks and wreak havoc as he battles against the deities who have wronged him and their earthly forces. Inspired by episodic dramas, ASURA’S WRATH will be split into distinct sections with gameplay and narrative unfolding as one and building to a final climatic conclusion.
yeah, but Bayonetta didn’t give a redesign to a beloved character that didn’t need it. I’m fairly confident the gameplay will be fun though. I wonder though - this is different than MGS2 or DMC4 where the main badass took a side character role to someone younger and more “hip.” its like instead of nero, they just entirely retconned dante to be someone else entirely. is it even confirmed as a reboot? I could see it happening before the events of DMC3 as he’s growing into his demon-ness I guess.
haha - I’m pretty sure he did. you can faintly hear something vaguely ATATATATATA-esque when it fades out.
I’m sorry but can you explain this to me? I didn’t really get the joke but just thought it sounded funny. Asuras being very angry demigods are really older than dirt but sorry for giving a serious response to something I know you intended as a joke .
