My god - the rack of beef being displayed in that 3rd photo (the cross section of the dude's torso) is disturbingly awesome.

Too bad I have no anatomy classes to take, I'd be a pro after playing this game.

Arttemis

Yeah, this game s still a multi-plat release, correct?

I've been looking forward to it for too long to have Namco pull the rug out from under me now.

Nightshift Nurse: Mile High Colonic

The style looks amazing and very faithful to the anime. Although as has been mentioned, is this multi-platform? I'm a Wii gamer and I wouldn't want to miss out. Of course I could never expect graphics this good.

monotony

If this game is only half as good as the series, this is a must buy for me. Just by looking at the graphics i´m almost sold.

@Hixxy:
Nice site! Very Punny...=D I tried.

Anyways, the best part of this is probably the death of enemies.

"Anyway way you slice it" No pun inte...

Literally, you can cut finger tips off! And they said this is a better ways to get pass designing me "death scenes"

@karasu is my homeboy:

We should hang out more.

Anime series limits are exactly what make some of them awesome. Hellsing OVA is currently taking its time, which its turned out to be an AWSEOME four episodes thus far (four eps in two years, now theres spending time). Cowboy Bebop, still one of the best things ever.

On the game. Looks dope. Im really digging the art style. I mean, I loved the anime in terms of oozing style and action (maybe no story, okay). Make this relatively the same and give me some music by the rza, and Im all over it.

@MickyKnox: What's this..? A 360 game looking better than a PS2 game? You've got to be kidding me! No way this looks better than grainy Q2 2006 PS2 graphics! Fantastic observation, friend.

PS. [www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net]
Good luck.

@(俗・ ) Grey Gecko: yea, i thought it was going to be multi-platform game.

jun581

Looks better then the "Samurai Champloo" game!

"I am tired of these God Damn ninjas on this god damn plain"

Hint: Its a pun.

MickyKnox

This game can't come soon enough, bring us a demo soon guys!

Superstar90

YES!

Scott

looks like a 3d version of Dishwasher Samurai. THe thing dishwasher samurai will have over this game is price hopefully this is 10x better.

PogiJet

And he's like "THIS IS SPARDA!" in the sixth pic.

Green-clad Gamer Dude

Bloody awesomeness!

(俗・ ) Grey Gecko

360 and ps3 correct?

SofaKingHI

He looks like he's doing Ike's final smash in the second pick.

@TaggarT6: I typically stick to 24 episode series, longer ones are either a hassle to get into, keep up with, fail to keep my attention because they tend to develop ever so slowly, etc.

Therefore, I'm looking forward to the fact that it's so short. Should be a nice change of pace.

karasu is my homeboy

Hotness. I want a gameplay video.

Aethyr

I loved the anime...I really hope this game delivers.

romBox

Very nice! This is starting to look like a must-buy.

Skitzoap

I hope the game makes more sense then the anime. I was really disappointed by how short the series was.

TaggarT6

Are you kidding me?

Those graphics are insanity. I haven't watched the show yet, but it's on my list.

This is true quality. Definitely has my attention.

karasu is my homeboy

man this game looks awesome.

D-Sovereignty

Really like that art style.

Fishstick

Nnnice! Afro Smauel L Jackson Samurai is looking awesome, they've got the look of the anime fantastically in these still screens anyway

excel_excel

Um, it's coming to the PS3 too Crecente

LittleBigPlaneteer

Maaaan, more games I need to buy

syl1985

@Nightshift Nurse: Mile High Colonic: Play Magazine, PSXextreme and a few other sources I came across by googling all point to yes, unless it's changed to 360 only. But as far as the internet knows, it's for both.

karasu is my homeboy

A Black dude mercilessly murdering asian people. Any comments like RE5?

...

No? Nothing? I mean, they ARE Asian guys, no zombies, no infection; asian guys.

Nothing?

.... good.

OT, If the gameplay is anything like Ninja Gaiden, I'm so buying this.

BigBooBuddy

@LittleBigPlaneteer:

-_- Sarcasm is a lost art.

RE5 is based on a movie/novel/fakestory, but all I see is a lot of people crying wolf =(

BigBooBuddy

@BigBooBuddy:

Perhaps you were unaware that this is based on an animation?

LittleBigPlaneteer

Everything they've said this game will do just makes it sound too good. But visually and audibly they've done nothing but wow us all. I can't wait to check this title out.

Absent Blue

Great graphics! Still didn't watch Afro Samurai yet, but will do.

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

Cannot wait for this game. I hope it turns out as good as the show did.

Muisee

I just bought the dvds for afro samurai

chaos_isnt_here

@LittleBigPlaneteer:
Japanese, much less.

beem

Wow! The series rocks, hopefully this'll come out as more that just a generic hack'n'slash with pretty pictures.

IteOot

@BigBooBuddy:
Only blogger from Black looks and N'Gai Said something to be honest.

Most of the RE5 topics about that are people who bring it up out of no where. You complain about complaining...At least let someone Complain again before bring it up.

Beyene

@BigBooBuddy: I bet you think you're intelligent don't you. People generally do when saying something foolish. If you can't even understand the premise of the statement that N'Gai made then I can definitely understand what compelled you randomly bring it up here. You have nothing important to say. You come of as though you're just a simple existence who works of off basic impulses and the colors you see. I hope that I'm wrong about you and that you are more capable of forming the thought you just shared with everyone.

okenny :)

Look sweet. Hope it is sweet.

So, I'm not the only one who held no interest for "Afro Samurai" before seeing the game, right? I'm an anime fan, or.. At least I really was for a while. I still have all my old box-sets, I just haven't paid attention to that whole scene in a while. Anyway, I wasn't really interested at the prospect of what seemed to be another American-made attempt to cash in on the recent anime-mania here in the US.

But the game looked so pretty (especially with the dynamic cutting-shit-up engine) that I decided to read into the series, finding that it was actually based on a Japanese manga series. That gave it some cred with me. I hope that doesn't make me sound pretentious. It's just more of a legitimate series than I'd known. I torrented it, but have yet to watch it. Seeing the beginning-most bit of the first episode, it looks sort of promising.

@Green-clad Gamer Dude: Dude, it's "This is SPARTA!". With a 'T'.

Chupakun

@Uzumaki_Kiba: Afro Samurai is one of the best I've watched in a while. You'll be pleasantly surprised I'm sure. I torrent a ton of anime myself, but this one was so good that I had to go out and buy it.

Dawud

Nice and shiny, but how well does it play?

Zeouterlimits

@okenny :):
I like when people try to be overly-analitical based solely on a single opinion made by a person. You got me all figured out, don'tcha.
I kinda do understand where N'gai's coming from with his opinion, but I find it sad when I see a "professional journalist" crying for something bad that is just not there.

BigBooBuddy

looks grrrrreat

kojiryu

This game looks amazing. My question is how will that annoying sidekick of Afro's come into play?

gundry_pwnd

super pumped for this game, already heard the RZA's doing the beats (wouldn't expect anything less) but now i'm interested in seeing if he has some more original stuff in store for the game.
