and I love you for loving the genre, in a manly way of course ;)
I understand :)
Well the only genre I instantly get excited is this one, I just love it really.

Rapitoir
DI doesn't look that bad, it looks good and all from combat stand point, but its not that well mad elike NG or DMC were each attack really feels like you are hitting with one of the deadliest weapons there is.
For example Ryu uses a Scythe, Dante uses one as well, now compare each combat together and you will see what I mean, hopefully ;)

Darksiders was the one I was thinking about.
Ah yeah, I am seriously not sure about that one. I love the art and concept for sure (love angels vs demons, hell vs heaven ideas) but combat wise, I just don't know, it looks decent.
Some moves and attacks do give a right impression, but some are just off.
But that is a game I am looking into as well.

The ONLY one within the genre is Bayonetta, I hate the art and ideas for that game, not for me, but I am glad others like it though, just means more games :)

The only 3 games within the genre that HAS to be made is, DMC5 (Dante only please! and make him more serious like DMC4), Onimusha 5 and a next-gen version of Strider!

Yeah I'm not too sure on it until I see more of it myself. That one is on the bottom of the list for me but I like bayanetta as it's just over the top. I would like to see strider as well get reborn into this genre.

Strider + NG combat system with a twist = WIN. lol

Rapitoir sounded french =) its just Raptor, Sath ;)

Well Bayonetta I agree the ideas may be a little turn off by someone but Im excited about the combat, on the gameplay videos it looked very nice and smooth and most importantly looked very fun to play.

As for Darksiders,the game have a very heavy Zelda inspiration behind and although the devs said that the combat its important it will not take the a big role on the game,it will be heavily in the exploration side and dungeons and that kinda of stuff just like Zelda,Metroid and such,I for one its the game Im looking forward the most,I just love everything about it from the story behind the game (The Horsemen),the very comic style it has,the main character it could be maybe my second favorite just behind Ryu,I just love the game

Dante's Inferno look cool I cant deny that and I will be the first to admit I was wrong but from the latest video I felt disapointed,maybe I need to see more or that the game or to be more polished,but nonetheless Im looking foraward to it for sure.

Oh and Castlevania,it just look that the devs are putting a lot of love into the game,the plataforming looked a lot of fun,the voice acting must be one of the best if not the best I ever heard in a long time in a game and I really hope the game would be too more about exploration than combat,though the combat looks amazing as it is now.

Hell I would love if every Action/Adventure 3rd person game too be like Zelda OoT that game rocked.

And it's Capcom so its given of it being great, or good atleast.
Bayonetta does look over the top and I like that, but the concept of the actual game is wrong for me. but ah well, there is more cooler games on my mind, such as Castlevania, DI hopefully and GOW3.

NGS2 this october :D

I am pretty much set with this genre, new IPs and old remakes are more than welcome.

Edit: Sure thing Raptor...there is a I there though, ah well ;)


Another title I am gonna put out on my list for "look out" is definitely Sengoku Basara 3 which is made by Capcom. I saw some awesome footages my friend showed me and its like Dynasty Warriors but 10x more polished.

Well there will be plenty of good games in this genre and others next year that will keep us all pretty much occupied throughout the year. But this has very high production values and it has Patrick Stewart in it, who is one my my fav actors so I know this game will be good.

Wow this game comes flying under the radar for me! Looks amazing!
Let's just hope the combat is as sick as it looks!

Speaking of comparing this to GoW for the chain like weapon,if you look very close to the gameplay bits of the combat you can see the way the whip moves and its nothing like the Blades of kratos nor the whip of Bayonetta for that matter.

I think the way the whip moves in this its like the real life ones,it moves in waves for put and example I dont know how to say it but it doesnt make a single pattern of movement say like for up to down,its more like all over the place right,left,up,down depends of the type of swing Gabriel does and I think that gives the game a touch that its not in any game with a weapon like that ever and a very badass weapon to booth,and dare I say it looks more badass than the Blades of Kratos IMO.

Well it is the classic weapon of the Bellmont family that has been passed down through the generations, so it has to be badass and from the trailers we've seen it does look badass. Man I can't wait for this game to drop. Alot of games I've found this gen have been lackluster and fail to get me all giddy like a kid.

I wondered why this game felt so European, and Mercurysteam is a Spanish studio. Didn't know that. The team got dark fantasy theme much better than Bioware in Dragon Age IMO.

Agreed. Plus this doesn't look generic, where as DA does.

Don't diss a Bioware game... Bioware knows what it's doing...

This game won't Metroid-like, less adventure elements, but won't be as action oriented as God of War - the developer compares it Prince of Persia. Interesting. Although it's kinda funny that his argument is that they need to make it mass-market when you consider the recent success of Batman AA.

I found it funny when the I read it has "in-depth combat like GoW" lol, I wouldnt call GoW's combat in-depth. NG, DMC3, Bayonetta...those have in-depth combat.

Atleast now we know that the combat will have easy access :P, hopefully its just fun to play considering this is the only title I am really excited for, and so far everything is going great I really want to see a proper gameplay and I think E3 will be that time, unless its GDC :)

"We are taking inspiration from the original premise of a lone warrior battling hordes of supernatural creatures with a whip. We are re-booting the series with homage’s to the original games and the original concept."

Great to hear that.
