HandsomeDead Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The top man behind this one was the artist behind Devil may Cry and Okami and it looks fooking amazing. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>I just read about this in GTM, I think it was at E3 but it completely passed me by, annoyingly. It will be an action game but simpler. Using one button, timing and using the right weapon is key to the combat rather than remembering a big combo list, which could work well. I dunno how exploration will work, as it's early days yet... But just look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It does look good, but that's one hell of a terrible name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yeah, It doesn't roll off the tongue very well. It does seem destined to fade into obscurity. A little interview here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoobie Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The preview in GamesTM made it sound/look really bland, but that trailer has got me interested. The main guy might want to change his outfit tho - makes him look like he has a pair of boobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 No news but another video. It shows some more environments and they all look great. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="620" height="375" id="gorillaPlayer_dest004"><param name="swliveconnect" value="true"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/yo033.swf"><param'>http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/yo033.swf"><param name="flashvars" value="e=4bffc0037b3a3a49328d685cccfc7c21cc002973d57a44951a38fddf065f5c696a66be9b89ee2d2f0947d4e15d253124c7d296b9a2a5d695fdd446d15f64f11765e48a3d71ea9b28f3c9df0c068e62a02723d09accafe3f4ff222bb8b0&width=620&height=375&pid=dest004&autostart=false&allowscriptaccess=always&usefullscreen=true"><embed src="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/yo033.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="gorillaPlayer_dest004" width="620" height="375" allowscriptaccess="always" swliveconnect="true" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="e=4bffc0037b3a3a49328d685cccfc7c21cc002973d57a44951a38fddf065f5c696a66be9b89ee2d2f0947d4e15d253124c7d296b9a2a5d695fdd446d15f64f11765e48a3d71ea9b28f3c9df0c068e62a02723d09accafe3f4ff222bb8b0&width=620&height=375&pid=dest004&autostart=false&allowscriptaccess=always&usefullscreen=true&esnapshot=4bffc0037b3a3a493b90685cccfc7c21cc002973d57a44951a38fddf065f5c696a66be9b89ee2d2f094ccde2702233248cc5acabb2a1c298eade4b9a1869fa1f32b8d76936b6c068b683c70a0b8e7aa43f3d95da84&trueurl=http://www.destructoid.com/"></embed></object> I've got a feeling it will be quite a shallow game, maybe a bit PoP 2008-y but I'm still sold on it, I need to know when it's coming.

HandsomeDead Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Giantbomb have a quicklook EX.

HandsomeDead Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 There is a demo up on the Japanese XBL and PSN to try for yourself, it's mostly what's on that GB quicklook. I've tried it, the instructions are all in Japanese so it was hard to find out about the combat system, I knew it was timing based and found a few combos but I'm eager to get my hands on some English instructions so I know what I'm doing, I survived mashing my way through anyway. It is quite difficult, there quite an emphasis on avoiding/countering attacks. It plays pretty well, right up my street this one I think. And it still blew me away visually even after seeing some videos, in 1080p it just looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Eurogamer review sez it's awesome. In summery: But I'm continually drawn back to the way that El Shaddai makes me feel. Like Bayonetta, like Rez, like Okami, it changes the way you think about games - and yet it's remarkably unpretentious. It's not got quite enough gameplay meat on its bones to position it alongside those classics, but it's been the most refreshing experience of the year so far, and visually it truly is incomparable.Plus, and most importantly to me, it's stratospherically mad. At the point where I emerged out of a narrow corridor into what turned out to be a vast stadium and a gyrating dance master exploded from the sea in an outfit that would make Lady Gaga proud, I almost collapsed with joy. If that sounds like you, this could the best thing you buy this year. 9/10 I was already sold, but it's nice to know I'm unlikely to get burned.

Craymen Edge Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 El Shaddai has everything you could ever want from a Japanese game. It has a transforming robot made out of motorbikes, a moonwalking dance master throwing shapes in front of the screen whilst you try desperately to fend off his minions, doves with boxing gloves for heads that gently but assertively butt you out of the air mid-jump, and so much more. SOLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I played the demo the other week link The way the art in the background/foreground affects things, especially the 2D bits is awesome, and I really liked the weapon snatching mechanic. It's a bit bewildering at points though, hopefully thats not the case when it gets translated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
