YOOOOOOOO THIS LOOKS FUCKING RAD

Platinum Games making a sci-fi action game with techno stands. Let's fucking go.

 

[Kard8p3]

Didn't it say the characters were designed by the person who made Zetman too?

 

[Kouriozan]

Give it to me!

 

[mere_immortal]

Kamiya games will always get my attention. Maybe some of the joint attack ideas rescued from Scalebound but on a smaller scale?

 

[HeRinger]

Best thing of the Direct by far.

 

[Deleted member 401]

Nintendo's marketing department remembers The Wonderful 101.

Anyway, lemme give that trailer another watch.

 

[Caspar]

Please be the good Platinum. It looks promising.

 

[Mifec]

Hopefully they manage to make it without issue. Getting canned from Scalebound and Granblue isn't a good look.

Game looks fun.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Well its another Platinum game and it looks fucking amazing, day one for me for sure.

 

[JINX]

Yo that looks fucking sick!

 

[Plinko]

Thought it was Sin and Punishment at first, but the game looks fantastic.

 

[Zippo]

FUCK I NEED THIS

 

[-shadow-]

For a minute I thought this was SMTV... But this looks terrific, I can't wait!

 

[toastyToast]

Shit looks wild.

This is a good ass year for action games

 

[lord_of_flood]

Knew it looked like a Platinum title once the gameplay started to kick in. It looks great, I'll be getting it day 1.

 

[Deleted member 923]

Yoooooooooo, day fucking one

 

[Rodjer]

No Bayonetta 3 :(

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

Day one. Holding my Switch tight tonight.

 

[Deleted member 38706]

Knew it was Platinum Games that moment I saw it. Also, the character designer is the author of ZETMAN!!! Hype!

 

[YamchasRevenge]

Yeah this is what I'm most hyped about. Love these types of cyberpunk aesthetics games with an evil, corrupt businessman at the forefront.

 

[Eolz]

Yep, that's a day 1.
Looked amazing!

 

[Yabberwocky]

The music sounded quite like Nier, too - I wonder if it's Okabe, or a different composer.

 

[Mariolee]

Looked amazing

 

[Normal]

Platinum so 100% on board, we know the combat will be good for sure.

Just like Nier Automata right?

lol

 

[Dark Cloud]

LOOKED fucking amazing

 

[XrossExam]

Wow! Game looks super cool, I'm in.

 

[Mushlikeahusky]

Day 0

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Looks really great, the highlight by far. Kamiya is one of the greatest game directors in games. Cannot wait for this.

Looks like you play as Cops? Reminds me of psycho pass.

 

[Batatina]

Looks really interesting, will keep an eye on this one!

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm in. Game looks rad.

 

[InspectaDekka]

JUDGE DREDD WITH STANDS N SHIT

HYPE

 

[Ferrs]

Not feeling the look of the game , looks pretty budget, and the combat doesnt seems as deep as Bayo or fun as Rising. We'll see though.

 

[irishonion]

This is the shit I like.

Day 1.

 

[Deleted member 2426]

DIRECT SAVED BY THIS ONE SOLE GEM

 

[Taco_Human]

Kamiya, and combat oriented? I'm so there.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Looks great, my thread complaining about more stuff with this vibe is being met now.
Day 1.

 

[UltraMagnus]

Looks great. Nintendo's 2019 lineup is very good. Probably means Bayo 3 is 2020 though.

 

[mrmickfran]

I noticed it was Platinum the moment the action paused like in their other games.

That said, day 1. Glad Nintendo and Platinum are still working together.

 

[jmizzal]

I thought that was a Monolith Soft game wow Platinum games went in

 

[OnanieBomb]

Definitely the most interesting thing in the Direct

 

[Lunar15]

In my veins let's go

 

[Dale Copper]

Guess SE is making Nier internally.

 

[Zen Hero]

This looks AWESOME. Character designs are great. Really interested in this.

 

[Ada]

Fuck DMC5. Kamiya actually furthering the genre instead of rehashing. Bet capcom shit themselves when they saw how much better his two character stuff looked than V in DMC

Click to shrink...

Let's not get crazy now.

 

[moogan]

looks like a lot of their games but more nier automata

 

[Hero]

This game looked awesome.

 

[KLoWn]

This shit looks sick.

 

[Bandage]

That trailer was specifically made for me

 

[Oddish1]

Looks great. Probably the most exciting thing in the direct for me.

 

[Xumbrega]

This looked legit awesome, holy shit.
