they look different, you can see differences in their faces, eyes, lips, nose, and they don’t have the same skin tone. I mean compare Rei and Enami’s skin tone, nothing alike. Also the most popular shooters generally use the same body type, it’s more effecient for development. and the girls are generally the same age, it’s natural for teens to have similiar body type especially if they so happen to have similiar measurements. I mean come on, even anime like Dragon Ball Z have characters that generally share the same build, and they aren’t related. Like Android 16 and Olibu have basically the same face. kids in South Park all generally have the same head and body size unless they are fat. SG/ZH girls have different faces if you examine them, Mayaya and Sayuri really look more different besides hair and weapon. Anyways found a new trailer:
You see you see look at that!! Rei and Risa do not have the same lips, Enami doesn’t have the same skin tone as Mayaya, Sayuri doesn’t ahve the same eyebrows as Rei, Mayaya and Risa do not have the same nose, I could go on and on on the differences
Those girls all look exactly the fucking same.
Didn’t you read Affinity’s post?
It’s more nuanced than that guys. You have to pay more attention to the arching of the eyebrows and the shape of the eyes themselves. I mean really its like NIGHT and DAY, gosh!!! Freaking amateurs.
No.
about 14 more days until release!! and KOFXIV graphics patch is the day before! so can marathon KOFXIV with the new graphics online, and then School Girl Zombie Hunter the day after!! So much epic awesomeness!!
and there’s an event
so previous trailer showed some of the combat mechanics, if they launch another trailer, it could feature the 5 players online coop!
yea even though the co op is only like 10 missions, they later ones sound super tough considering it does have a Leveling system, and there is info about stronger guns/loot to obtain.
So powering up may be required to stand a chance with the highest co op missions!!
and SG/ZH does have more co op stages than Streets of Rage 2 game as a whole.
And the 50 single player story missions sounds very epic!! maybe it might even have some nonlinear mission progression, kind of like Onechanbara has a part where some of the missions can be completed in any sequence.
well it sure is looking to be more incredible than a lot of other zombie games. the original L4D only had 20 stages, and SG/ZH has 50 stages with more depth to its plot and more cutscenes and voiced lines.
maybe the co op missions are playable from the start, I would play that first, then play campaign to get better levels and stuff to do the more challenging co op missions. ZAT’s horde mode only had like 5 maps, but SG/ZH’s 10 co-op missions sound very replayable and awesomeness, especially with 5 players co op!!
well yes, KF2 has 6 players co op, but its boring with just a bunch of creeps , old timers and beef jerkies to choose from, it lacks the aesthetics and elegant fundamentals of SG/ZH. though SG/ZH would be better if it had a FPV option included, more immersive like that, hey maybe they could patch in VR support! its strange when games have either TPV or FPV but not both. SW battlefront has both, some mmorpgs have both, even Bushido Blade. and L4D could be modded to have both options.
ah well, at least it has TPV, glad they didn’t make it isometric, that would’ve been annoying. oh yea I wonder if all 5 characters will be present in the missions together in single player. I do see like 2 or 3 together, but co op can handle 5 players at the sametime, so should the single player missions as well. it is a squad we are a part of after all.
based on previous Onechanbara games, I would guess the 50 missions may be organized as some perhaps being solo missions, others having the team split up in pairs or sending 3 on a mission, and some missions might be character exclusive, though think there may be someone missions that involve all 5. Well with 50 missions, there’s a lot of creative different ways they could do things. though I think character choice should always be up to the player. though maybe there’s an unlockable free mode like Senran Kagura games have for completed missions. and they still haven’t even touched upon the customization systems, with Onechanbara history, there’s probably some indepth customization. Z2 Chaos has primary weapon, secondary weapon, subweapon, and slots of rings. Rocket Launchers are confirmed in SG/ZH, so think the equip system and weapon selection more customizable than it appears. though maybe each character has unique signature weapon type and melee attack, though maybe their weapon type can be changed. the rocket launcher factor seems like even specialists can change their gun class, unless rocket launchers are the exception.
@affinity when this game drops what kind of snacks will you be eating as you play? Also if it were to allow custom soundtracks what would yours be
Do they have bios for the characters? Which one do you have the most in common with? Are they allowing melee weapons?
I dont like eating in the room, but maybe pasta between sessions. custom soundtracks, I dunno, some games I prefer the ambient audio with no music, more realistic that style. they have melee weapons as seen in the 2nd trailer and official site. Rei’s hair is more like mine, though personality wise I have a little more in common with Sayuri, Mayaya and Risa.
Sayuri Akiba (handgun)
A girl who comes from an honorable samurai family. She likes both hero things and robot animea result of the samurai code of chivalry driven into her since she was young. She has a cheerful personality and hates dishonest behavior. She sometimes collides with those around her due to her clumsy way of life, but is strangely able to become friends. She is the type to keep a promise by all means once it’s made. She worries for Risa, who had an unfortunate experience during her childhood, and treats her like a younger sister. She has a strong desire to protect others, and tends to act without thinking and get caught up in her surroundings. Despite being at the mercy of Sayuri’s behavior, the other four survivors find the strength to continue fighting the zombies. Akiba’s grandfather is the famous martial arts master, Gengoroumaru Akiba."
Risa Kubota (assault rifle)
“Having lost her parents and older brother at a young age, she has been living while always fighting against loneliness and the fear of death. She was taken in by Sayuri’s family, who was close friends with her father, and from a young age taught to wield the long sword as part of her spiritual training. She is cowardice in battle and survives by relying on Akiha. She has the ability to fight, but is still afraid. Because she requires others’ support, she has a dependent constitution in that she is unable to decide things on her own. However, she is strong when it’s the final moment and there are no other options.”
Mayaya Himeji (submachinegun)
“A close friend of Enami Kamijo. Outside of cute things, she likes mysterious things like fortune-telling and the occult. She is the type to often fade out her surroundings and focus only on the thing that interests her petting a paralyzed puppy in the middle of the road, for example, leaving herself likely to be hit by a car. Mayaya is Enami’s childhood friend who causes trouble for her and cannot be ignored. The two will often take action together, and Mayaya also acts as the lubricating oil that plays mediator for the lonely Enami and her schoolmates.”
Enami Kamijo (sniper rifle)
“Similar to her boyish appearance, she speaks and conducts herself like a man. She is the oldest of the five survivors. As the clear-headed athletic, she is an asset to those around her, but she keeps up a secret effort, continuing to fight on despite the difficult circumstances. If someone is inferior to her, she thinks that they’re not making a great enough effort, and she is often misunderstood as a cold genius because when someone comes to her for advice she pushes them away by saying things like, “just do your best.” She and Mayaya are childhood friends since their parents know each other.”
Rei Kanazaki (shotgun)
“An idol since middle school, but she has suspended her idol activities to concentrate on schoolwork. Her entertainment office sells her as an innocent, princess idol, but in reality she is an abnormal girl who loves disputes and bloody topics. A young actress tried to force Rei, who is known for her role as the lunatic heroine in a B-grade horror movie, to retire. When she suddenly went missing, it seemed like Rei’s true character would be revealed through entertainment world gossip, so she suspended her idol activities to let things cool off. Her mother is also a former actress. She dreams of becoming an actress to surpass her mother.”
Hrm so you have flat long hair as well basically? Is your hair naturally that color or is it a different color. Can you change the girls ascetically?
Outta nowhere, Tekno brings the funny.
-Starhammer-
enough about my hair! xD as for costume customization, I would think it would have customization on par with Z2 Chaos, but I’m not expecting that. the default uniforms are fine to me, though I would like hair color options to make everyone have black hair, and lots of modern japanese schoolgirl long hairstyle options to choose from would be cool too.
so it releases in 10 days, that’s… next week!! 0.0 well on playasia, it’s $66.99, so I should have enough for the digital version on PSN.
I think SG/ZH can only be more epic than Z2 Chaos. I mean it has so much more to it.
a 50 mission sized campaign (Onechanbara is like 16 story missions), squad of 5 (without needing cross merge combination to summon them. I hate tag team. I prefer teammates active all the time), 5 playable characters (more than Onechanbara’s 4.) at least 10 online co op missions (Z2 Chaos didnt have co op at all, something that would have really raised its replay value and entertainment), a leveling system with stronger weapons to obtain, accessible TPS gameplay design (hack n slash does get tiring), brand new characters and personalities, plenty of zombie hordes to kill, innovative decoy mechanics, visible clothes battle damage, rocket launchers with some of the greatest explosion effects, cool flashlights, unique melee attacks, possibly one of the most deepest usage of high school location with potential to have every room/floor/area explorable.
I even watched the 2nd trailer again and notice the floor can have reflective effects/muzzle flashes lighting things up in the dark nicely, and the partner a.i.s seem more aggressive than the average dynasty warriors soldier.
it can’t possibly be bad or boring. I was right about Z2 Chaos, I know its strengths and shortcomings, and I feel SG/ZH can only surpass it, and the framerate looks like its 60 fps. Z2 Chaos fps can drop, but it’s overall smooth. and SG/ZH isn’t as over the top with melee action and combos, so the framerate could be more stable.
I enjoyed very underrated zombie games like Zombie Army Trilogy, even in single player, so School Girl Zombie Hunter could be the new greatest zombie game to some.
maybe the online could have a fan following too. yea co op is 10 missions, but Sailor Moon arcade is only 8 stages and it’s still great (though it would be greater with 5 players co op).
plus the higher missions might be so tough that it makes leveling up and getting better weapons more worthwhile, and enhances cooperation.
Why would you do this? :wtf:
cause while it’s kind of cool how they give different hair colors to make the characters “stand out” more, I like more natural hair color, and from what I seen, even modern japanese students commonly have black hair.
people don’t need to dye their hair to be a unique individual, even in anime (like take the movie Akira for example, in that movie, almost everyone has black hair, which is ok and natural and cool ) I mean in my opinion, when an ethnicity has a common natural hair color, it’s absurd to oversaturate the franchises with all these dyed hair color designs.
I mean it’s just as awkward as giving black people anything that isn’t black hair
(why the heck does Virtua Fighter Vanessa have white hair? Like why? What’s wrong with black hair for a black woman?).
I mean it’s not wrong for someone to dye their hair, but when it comes to hair, I like natural color, not fake blonde, or reddish brown hair, and blue hair (lol). And characters like Chun Li look better with black hair, in my opinion. it’s just a color preference. even KOF’s Athena looks better with black hair, though she’s cool with purple too, As for Mai, she actually looks great with brown hair, but black hair is beautiful too. it’s nice to have options.
especially with SG?ZH featuring “normal girls”, they would look more authentic Japanese with black hair, in my opinion. yes people with dyed hair exist in Japan, obviously, but with Onechanbara history of customization, they could add hair color options there, besides costumes, underwear and perhaps accessories customization
like asian people :china:
Affinity has made this thread more weeby than the actual Anime thread.
3 to 4 more days to release!! I think the online community will be around longer than say, Touhou Genso Rondo (which after the first day, no one is found in searches), but TGR didnt even have dedicated lobbies, it disconnects players after the match is over. I think SG/ZH has dedicated lobbies. though I’m not sure how tough the co op missions are, would even the 1st co op mission require playing through the campaign first to stand a chance?
there are 10 co op missions, so they sound like high level content, and of course online mission 10 might require the highest levels and highest tier weapons obtainable.
I wonder if co op is even choosable at the start without needing to start campaign, well it might be its own separate mode. maybe the first few co op missions are possible at level 1 with the basic weapons. maybe the co op missions can be used to level grind too. not sure if they reward weapons though.
this could be the game that can benefit from a psn community and friends list for it, that would help people find more teammates to do the co op with. I was right about ARK Survival Evolved and look at its PS4 reception, most of the servers are totally full and its the best selling PSN game of 2016 in europe, with over 1000 ratings on NA PSN and 4/5 stars (which is above average). I’m sure SG/ZH is gonna be the L4D of Japanese shooters, and even greater!! well ok ok, the campaign doesn’t support co op, but 50 story missions is massive for a squad zombie game (makes RE Operation Raccoon City look like a demo), and 10 online co op missions is better than no co op at all, so it has a lot more going for it than Onechanbara.
plus shooters are more popular than hack n slash, and easier to understand
only played one story mission so far and a lot of online co op, but I knew it turned out greater than expected!! sure it can lag and be a little choppy, but it’s still totally awesome!! now if only they made the campaign co op supported too. though the 10 online missions are great, and its cool that we can level up and get lots of gun loot online. if they made an Onechanbara after this, it should support 5 players co op for all of the campaign besides online missions.
