E308: Mad World is f’ing brutal |

Man-o-man talk about violent… and this is on a Nintendo system?? Easily one of the most unique-looking games on the horizon, the stark black and white make the blood look all the more visceral. And there are buckets of the stuff. Buckets.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Mad World, and this below clip just kinda reinforces what we’ve already seen. Still, looks cool.

Really interesting style, i want to see what else there is besides brawling but it looks great doesn’t it?
Hehe… man darts.

This does look pretty great. Especially with all the WiiMusic, WiiSports Resort, Animal Crossing, and Petz games on the horizon.

“YA THINK HE GETS THE POINT?!”
This game kinda looks like a spiritual successor to God Hand in a way. Maybe it’s just me. But who knows; it’s the same team, right? (Platinum Games used to be Seeds, and before that, Clover Studios)
What I can see happening is a situation not unlike the PS2. While the creator of the console makes games that are generally of a good standard, with the odd blockbuster here and there, the real department where the software will shine will be the 3rd parties. I’m sure a lot of them will realise how the core gamers who own Wiis feel alienated. Naturally, they’ll want to capitalize on that, by making ‘hardcore’ games. We can already see some examples; like the Conduit, Madworld, and the Dead Rising port, among others. I just hope the 3rd party trend continues.

I’ve had an eye on this game for quite some time, and it just keeps getting better. I can’t wait for this title. I’ve got a big ol’ nerd boner for this game.
