Easily the best work of Suda51 thus far, but it’s still rough around the edges.
Shadows of the Damned is clearly Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture’s most polished game yet. Whether it’s due to the influence of Shinji Mikami as the creative producer or due to some maturation of Suda51’s style and execution is unclear, but the 10 hour romp through hell is chock full of style, humor, and solid gameplay that trips only slightly along the way. While Suda51’s previous titles can be a bit tough to get into for the average player, Shadows of the Damned is much more accessible and will likely appeal to a much greater audience – assuming they can tolerate the never ending onslaught of penis jokes.
Nick provides his initial impressions of the just released third person shooter from Suda51, Shinji Mikami, and Akira Yamaoka.
Yesterday, we had our first chance to play the long-awaited title from Grasshopper Manufacture and EA. Of course, the game is also known as the super project between fan-favorite, Suda51, and Resident Evil creator, Shinji Mikami. As a fan of both developers involved, Shadows of the Damned has long been on my must-have list, so I’m excited to report that the game thus far is living up to my expectations.
Wait, hang on a second! Before you start jamming on the Page Down key to troll me in the comments, at least hear me out!
Alright, thanks for at least trying to listen to what I have to say. Waggle has been a loathed enemy of non-casual gamers since its introduction with the Wii in 2006. While it's often used in ways that harm the game experience, in some instances, it's far better than any button could ever be. Whoa, hang on there, killer! There will be time to troll at the end, let me justify myself.
Shadows of the Damned is a third-person action title that appears to have some similarities to Mikami's Resident Evil series with the style of a Suda51 title.
A solid, but still flawed follow-up to Travis Touchdown's first outing.
As you all know, around two weeks ago I played through No More Heroes for the first time. With the second game already out, it only made sense to keep on going and jump right into No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.
Ever get pissed and slam your Wii Remote on your leg? I did, and it saved my life.
So, I'm currently playing the final boss fight in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, and in a fit of rage while Travis's death sequence was playing, I shook my Wii Remote around like an angry infant.
After three solid entries into the series, I was expecting more.
As a long-time Fatal Frame fan, I was deeply frustrated by Nintendo's decision to not bring the fourth title in the series overseas. Apparently Nintendo refused to bring it over due to some technical errors that Tecmo refused to fix. Having spent countless hours with each of the previous iterations it seemed ridiculous that Nintendo would bar an entire group of people from experiencing the game due to small issues, such as a sluggish framerate. Thankfully, a dedicated group of fans have pooled their efforts in order to create a fan translation of the game, affording us English speaking gamers the opportunity to play the title.
Inspired by the release of the second game, Nick revisits No More Heroes for PixlBit's second Review Rewind.
I definitely missed the boat with No More Heroes. Sure, I bought it near release, but the best I ever did was wipe out the first boss and get into a few side jobs. Other things seemed to come up and the game got shelved indefinitely. As we all know, the second title in the series has just been released, which incidentally acted as a pretty good motivator to go back and finish what many called one of the Wii's greatest games.
After leaving Konami, the famed video game composer joins Suda 51's quirky company.
In December news broke out that Akira Yamaoka, famous for the Silent Hill soundtracks, left Konami.
