Yeah, this all seems great at first. Then you get into the game and find out that 50% of the population are asshats that all look like George Bush. Pass.

Sawboss

Yes indeedy Ms Pussy Galore! :)

@cybereality: Everyone knows girls don't play games or commit crimes!

Scazza

If I can make Rufio from Hook I'm set

SwordandSorcery

Can you make girls or is this just one massive online sausage party?

cybereality

This could be too much customization. If I can make anyone and everyone can make anyone, this runs the risk of looking more like Second Life with guns than Counterstrike meets GTA.

It could just get ridiculous.

And then there will be the inevitable Hitlers and black face characters. Ugh.

Ess

wow im surprised. I dont know if i will pay for this (at this point in time) but this game is quite intriguing.

Ra on the Moon.

I'm feelin' a PC upgrade in my future so I can play this sucker. I wonder what the system specs will be?

The customization is AMAZING. No leveling or grinding is great.

I will suck at it, so I'll make sure to always play on the team opposite Kotaku-ites.

Pants...he forgot pants

@BPM IIDX 8th style: Only if you told them you did it.

gadgetfanatic

Miyamoto, put some pants on, please.

KM91

*dreaming of themed APB clans fights*

Boxer clan versus Briefs clan
PS3 fanboys vs. 360 fanboys vs. Wii ninjas
Red versus Blue

tnx3

Miyamoto will stomp you to death. with boxors.
This game looks pretty kick ass, and I loved crackdown, I'm sure the team can do another great game.

"The School of Silicon Valley"

RRRansom

@Witzbold: Lol, and just imagine how many of them will be getting killed just cause they look like him.

Me, I'm not into this kinda stuff myself, the online and all, but I think that someone up there said it, if I was going to play this, I'd probably make the Hulkster, brother.

Ashkihyena

mwahaha. Looks like Miyamoto. Do want this game just for the character customization ;3

sUKi

@Jesus Christ: Just imagine how many variations of JT will be running around in the game itself.

Witzbold

This is looking like one hell of a game. JT will have a ball with this....

Jesus Christ

Shiggy hide your shame!

Best character customization ever I must say.

Although Im a bit sad we dont see some rambo looking Reggie up there with them.

Witzbold

@J-Fro: I know, I've been wondering about that as well. Although on IGN, they're saying 360 and PC only.

Jesus Christ

@J-Fro:
IGN says its also for the 360, which isnt really surprising, it only makes sense

meltyman

Miyamoto - I find your lack of pants disturbing.

Also, unless I missed something, there's 3 articles about this game today and not one of them mentions which system it's being released on. I'm assuming PC only.

J-Fro

Guild-war esque MMO fails. Its not an MMO, just a giant playground for PvP.

I just hate having lobbies with *set* number of parties zoning.

The game feels like a gloried Gamespy lobby.

However, the customization has been anted up. Much improvement since the "City of..." series.

@gamadaya: Money is that reason.Action fans are very capricious. The next hot thing will come and they abandon the old hot thing. RPG fans are about building a guild and becoming an Overlord of the Elves or whatever.They are more dedicated.So that equals more money.

jackal888

Look for Abe Lincoln and Hulk Hogan to be kicking your ass in the near future

davahsa

@gamadaya:
you should play Myst Online. Oh right, it was cancelled because not enough people were interested in a MMO adventure game...
Me bitter? noooo never...

crrash

@WoodyNvincible:
Except this game isn't a true MMO, I just found out. It's more like how Guild Wars does it. I'm not in just yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

gamadaya

@gamadaya:

Words. Out of my mouth. Agree. Stuff. I'm in.

WoodyNvincible

@rudyism: Yup, Marvel, over the Wolverine-style claws.

KirbySS

This is probably one of the best ideas I've ever heard. I really never understood why every MMO out there was an rpg, and required insane amounts of boring ass grinding to get anything done. I fucking hate grinding! This game seems like it won't have any of that, and will be a hell of a lot more fun to play. I've never liked games where I have to level up my character and go on quests or kill enemies over and over again, hoping that this time I find the drop I'm looking for. An action based MMO that is easy and fun to pick up and play. If anything can put a dent in WoWs player base (and nothing can), this will be it.

gamadaya

Question is: can the customization tools handle Phil Spector's crazy 'do ? C'mon, Dave Jones, show us what you got!

And after this our exile

Thats awesome. This game keeps looking better and better.

Did they say if this is PC only?

Altima NEO

@BPM IIDX 8th style: Probably, if they ever got wind of it. They sue virtually anyone though.

NitrousO

I feel bad that I only know who one of those people are.

Seestoff

@Scazza: Err, might have been Gabe I was thinking of.

Doshu

The new A-Team has arrived :P.

Tenchuu

No Will Wright?

NiGHTSSTUDiO

@deathsyth8888:
Miyamoto is on some OG gangsta shit. Rollin' around in his tricked out Nintendo-mobile. Selling shrooms to kids all across the world.

@Scazza: Gabe Newell wanted to be rendered 100% realistically or not at all. Too bad... Wanted to see him in a game similar to one of his IPs... as Shooting Practice.

ph15h

@Doshu: I think they gave up after the Gabe Newell avatar kept causing the dev kit to crash due to ram limitations...

(jokes)

Scazza

Wow, that's impressive.

I wonder... If I created L. Ron Hubbard in APB, would the Church of Scientology come after me?

BPM IIDX 8th style

Now you can see why Miyamoto gets a hard-on for plumbers

irnchriz

Watch out for that car Miyamotto. You wouldn't be the first!

Tyrannical

Uhh, where's McWhertor? Not even Crecente? This "Dave Jones" guy is a total hack. I know who I'm recreating if I pick this game up!

ReidP

wow

KEITH1437

Incredible? I dunno... I could make Keanu Reeves in the Godfather for the 360. But I'm glad people are finally recognizing that celebrities are the best way to promote your character customization features. :)

Blinkstale

@Scazza:
Yeah, i'm pretty sure I remember some lawyers from either DC or Marvel wanting a crack at City of Heroes awhile back.

rudyism

I wonder wonder they didn't do an avatar of Mark Rein...

Texture size limitations?

Doshu

First Kotaku has an article about the dark side of Miyamoto. Then it shows how Miyamoto would look in a gang of other developers. Man, Miyamoto is a gangster to say the least.

deathsyth8888

Isn't an MMO-esque CS being worked on for the Asian market?

MrSoursop

@ocalot: Man, that would make a good comic or movie... A Ninja lawyer, who upon losing a case, kills everyone in the courtroom, and fights illegal gambling on the side... Exciting...

Scazza

An actual Counterstrike MMO would be interesting.

dowingba

Holy cow that is spot on O_o makes you wonder if he's been practiceing or something.

GUNDAM-RX-78-2

@Scazza: Since when are lawyers nervous? They are more like ninjas waiting in the night to due whatever their master wishes.

ocalot

Those are some sexy pants on Miyamoto

Dauragon88

@Scazza:
Maaaaaan, why'd you have to bring that up :(

DrakeLake

If the head is not big enough to be worthy of Giant Molyneux Face tags, it just is not good enough for me. :-p

ceilingFANBOY: now with 100% more fanboy

Incredible, and pretty risky too. Might get some copyright lawyers nervous

Scazza

Whoa. This adds a whole other layer to customizing. Looks even better than some of the home customizing I've seen. Yay... Time to have CS with people I don't like. Creating people that would look funny getting shot. Nevermind. Never wish anything bad on anybody, unless they're digital.

ph15h

Wow!

It looks like Forza level customization will be possible in this.

Snuffbox

That's awesome. I wonder how difficult it is to actually make a character design that exact though.

NeoAkira

Wow, that's pretty impressive. They look very much like them, and I like the detail you can add in terms of attire, logos, etc..
