Superhot JP [temporary title] announced

[Accoun]

Interesting. Looks like SUPERHOT Team licensed their IP to another indie publisher (GameTomo seems to have published Superhot and Immortal Redneck in Japan and Project Nimbus globally).


https://www.gametomo.co.jp/superhot-japan

What is this thing?

A new game in the SUPERHOT universe, using Japanese environments, from samurai castles and hot springs to karaoke bars and bullet trains.


Is it really called SUPERHOT JP?

No, that's just a temporary title. We're kicking around names right now..


Is it DLC? What are the platforms?

It will be standalone but priced very reasonably. We currently plan PC and PS4 releases at least..


How many levels/weapons/enemies/game modes?

About 15-18 regular levels and 3-4 endless levels, a few new weapons (including a bow and arrow), and the same game modes as the original SUPERHOT..


Is there new gameplay?

The game is close to the original SUPERHOT but there are new weapons, see through shoji screens, and some other surprises..


Who is developing it?

GameTomo is developing the game in Tokyo with guidance from SUPERHOT Team.


Will it be released overseas?

It will be released in Japan first and then possibly other countries worldwide.

This looks awesome. Will probably buy the Japanese version as gameplay > story.

Katana only mode is going to be cool.

 

[huzrd3]

Wow.

 

[Trixie Mattel]

Will it have a VR version?

 

[Hektor]

Oh shit yes, i'm in

 

[ShapeDePapa]

Yay! More Superhot is good.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

I'm always down for more SuperHot but I really would love more SuperHot VR. :)

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Very cool, hopefully the devs will do good with the IP, and glad the original team was OK with it.

 

[Liam Allen-Miller]

Really hoping for a SUPERHOT JP VR now! But hey, more SUPERHOT is good in any form.

 

[purseowner]

Hot damn this is the stuff of dreams

 

[Wowfunhappy]

I love love love Superhot VR, but the flat screen version never really worked for me.

My primary annoyance is that time moves when you turn around, which basically means you're punished for examining your surroundings. I don't like getting killed from behind.

 

[DerAuto]

There need to be a VR version. Once you played Superhot in VR it's basically impossible to play it otherwise.

 

[DrArchon]

Sounds like a Superhot level pack, which is honestly perfect.

 

[low-G]

NEED to have VR. A little too basic in flat.

 

[GhostTrick]

VR PLEASE.

 

[Ja-]

Won't say no to more Superhot

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Yeah as cool as the standard game is it doesn't hold a candle to how amazing the vr version is. Waiting for that.

 

[Spaghetti]

I'm in.

 

[ty_hot]

The VR game is amazing. Nothing comes closer. Its simple, challenging and fun.

 

[Noisepurge]

In as long as it's Superhot JP VR.

 

[Dynamite Cop]

So this is kind of like a Japanese themed map pack? Nice

 

[mutantmagnet]

Really cool that devs are collaborating like this. Even more awesome that it is happening across cultural lines again.

 

[Yossarian]

SUPERHOT is by far my favourite game of this gen and happily sits as one of my GOAT. In other words, I'm well fucking in.

Might as well pop a very short (but still nice) run:



Bows are in? Awesome!

oh, definitely interested in this.

 

[Iichter]

Nice, I loved the first one, more superHOT is good.

 

[manchego obfuscator]

A little skeptical given that it's not from the original team, but SUPERHOT is fucking fantastic, so fingers crossed.

 

[Nemesis Warlock]

The most innovative shooter I've played in years gets a Japanese Makeover? I'M IN.

 

[IfSleepoversCouldTalk]

This looks awesome. Will probably buy the Japanese version as gameplay > story.

What does this even mean

 

[Kaako]

VR and I'm in. I'll gladly take a Japanese themed Superhot.

I have absolutely no clue either.

Probably "it gets released in Japan earlier, so I'll import even if I won't understand the story because I only care about the gameplay".

Ding ding.

SUPERHOT is one of those games that needs a map editor whenever the inevitable sequel happens.

It's a concept they've only scratched the surface with.

 

[pirata]

Groovy

 

[Deleted member 42221]

I'm intrigued. No matter what superhot does, I'm in. As a concept it is just fundamentally satisfying.

 

[Hexer]

Fuck yes!!! Superhot+Japan setting = Fucking Amazing! I was so hyped until I read it says Japan first and then "possibly other countries worldwide." Also only being on PS4 and PC is odd when Superhot launched on Xbox first (console wise). However, I guess since it's a japanese developer that's not really surprising. They're gonna stick to what they know I guess. I'd take a VR version though. Superhot VR is still one of the coolest VR experiences ever. :D

 

[Overflow]

Superhot is unplayable in on a flat screen once you've played it in VR. Please be a VR version!

Also, coming to Japan first? Wwuuuutt

I was confused at first as well but the Xbox version will probably come when it gets its Worldwide release

Oh yeah. That could make sense too. I will hope for that then :p. If nothing else, I'll definitely be getting it on PC. Really hoping for that VR version though. :)

 

[Grads]

super hot was great.

[Deleted member 1258]

Just call it something like Ultrahot, or Hyperhot

Or, Super Cold

 

[halfjoey]

Why hasn't Superhot been given a map editor? Seems like the perfect game for community created maps and scenarios.

Absolutely.

Interested to see what they do with the DLC actually.
