I get to punch things, I get to punch big things, I get to punch big things very hard. I hope this game fills the void that Godhand left.
No sequel to godhand…but I get to punch big things very hard.
Why is it that every Trailer he’s getting his ass handed to him. Then to be continued to get his ass handed to him more…
I geuss he’s like a sayjin.
get ass kicked; come back 10x stronger?
Capcom’s version of Fist of the North Star? Im buying it!
It’s over the top, but still really creative. Also, gotta remember this is just the first in the series! What ever things that may bother some fans, like QTE press buttons to the action, would probably get redone in a sequel if the fans dont really like it.
This game will probably won’t even be nominated for GOTY but all the events and stuff seems like it’s something to at least experience once to see what other crazy ass shit CC can come up with. I mean I thought summoning a big ass Buddha finger from the heavens was ridiculous enough and then they got this man who jacked Ichimaru Gin’s Shinso and scooped his ass up with it and took him for a ride FROM THE MOON all the way to Earth. Whatever else they come up with to be on par with or better than these set pieces will definitely be memorable.
Nah, more like Godhand with FUCKING RAAAAAGE and fat Buddha bellies.
There’s was a demonstration of the game by the devs on the Unity stream earlier. Gameplay bits that the newest trailer was made from (hot springs).
I hope they upload that demo because what they showed was so “different”.
You watch a cut scene of Asura and his mentor talking, they get into the hot spring and relax and 2 busty chicks come out to serve them sake. Cutscene ends and you then actions appear on the side. It was like drink, chug, splash, stand. You could look around as Asura in first person, you can spot spies on the cliffs, if stare at the chicks funbags too long she acts bashful, the mentor raises his glass at you. The spies keep doing different things when you keep looking around.
You had to perform the actions to advance through the parts because on the HUD, underneath what I think is the health bar, was this orange bar that advanced you to the next “scene” so to speak when filled. After the hot spring, it was the moon boss fight vs the mentor. Instead of a traditional health bar for the boss, the progress bar filled up when you damaged the boss. Then the boss transformed and pulled out his sword. Fight boss in 2nd form, same deal with progress bar instead of the health bar.
Lots of story bits like when cutscene happened of the boss drawing his sword, we see the leader of Asura’s enemies for the first time. Asura’s mentor (I forget his name) drawing his sword was symbolizing how strong Asura is since his mentor rarely ever needs to draw his sword to fight and when the enemy leader felt the sword being drawn (DBZ style King Kai shit I feel his power level rise). Then we see a human in the scene where Asura is getting taken back to Gaia (Earth) via catching the sword. Developers were enjoying their game so much they were all excited playing and watching the cutscenes “LOOK THE SWORD GOES THROUGH GAIA”.
Q&A happened they were like show support for the game, preorder it, tell your friends, tell Capcom if you want a Collector’s Edition and what you want in it. Interesting question was asked “Is Asura the only playable character?” and then they answered with “we can’t answer that” with laughs after.
Man this game looks like a crazy experience.
CC2 are really great developers so if anything expect this game to have a good story with some very unique and stylish visuals.
I was there on the stream and it was mad hype. Developrs dropping hints that Asura might be DLC for MVC3, joking about their own game just having a blast. You could tell those guys really love their game and I think that’s a good sign.
And yeah, this game…it looks like everything God of War should have been. It’s very cinematic, while at the same time the QTE doesn’t seem heavy handed (even though it happens quite often) and the fight scenes are just amazingly manly and Gar. The main character is badass, but doesn’t come across like the kind of bastard Kratos is. It also isn’t at all gory, which might turn some people off, but for me is a selling point. I feel like gore would cheapen the rather unique art style and presentation they have going on here.
Asura vs Thor would be godlike.
Also, anyone else who was watching that stream had to have gotten hype when the 'ORAORAORAORAORA!" part started…that was just great. Even the stream monsters exploded.
The visuals are impressive as is the creativity and use of source material. But still not sold on the gameplay as of yet.
Man. Dude has Gutts written all over him. Im waiting for Griffith to pop out like “Gotcha”…it was a jokey joke, nigga : ) "
I have to wonder if this game will have much replayability.
That trailer was hilariously over-the-top. The cinematics were impressive though. The gameplay looks like Ultimate Ninja Storm which makes sense since it’s the same developer, and the combat is cool in that series so it’s whatever.
When I first read this post, it made me wonder a bit too. However, I traded in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 after beating it since I wasn’t feeling the story mode and having to play as various people I didn’t care for at certain points. But, it looks like the story here is more interesting (if not more comical) and we probably won’t play with any other characters but I could be wrong.
I thought this was cool…
You get to punch stuff. Big Stuff; you get to punch people who thin their big stuff with your 6 arms. Kids today don’t know that true manliness lies in punching things because well…fuck it we all tried to punch the shit out of a Cyber Demon in Doom. That is, until we found the secret chainsaw. Now if we could punch things with chainsaws, that would just be awesome.
Capcom unity put up the video for the demo that someone was talking about earlier with the fight on the moon

Someone said that Asura looked like Akuma but yeah, he does look more like SFIV Evil Ryu.
ORAORAORAORA!!! YOSH!!
Hehehe those guys are are funny. My faith is a bit revitalized in the gameplay. I’m tentative. The Budda Boss had really put me off but this looked much better and more involved.
