Frame City Killer (X360) trailer and screens

[Kleeze]

Along with a batch of screenshots (http://xbox.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=8799), Namco has released the first trailer for Frame City Killer, a game that puts you in the role of an assassin in a futuristic metropolis in East Asia.

Frame City killer is being crafted using the Unreal Engine 3, and is set to hit stores alongside Xbox 360 this holiday in USA and Europe.

The trailer offers almost two minutes of what appears to be in-game footage - you can grab it here (http://download.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=8798) (registration required - don't worry, we won't spam you... unless you ask us to).

Didn't see the video...but the screenshots look terrible! This was made with the Unreal Engine 3?! Wow...underwhelming so far.
The vids I saw at IGN had sadly mixed graphics. Some cutscenes were ok while the others were below Xbox quality.

Whatever...this looks like it will be a forgettable title.

And what the hell is with the bad polygon hair in some of those screenshots.

Looks like a PS2 game, maybe a bit higher rez.

Hopefully early shots

I'm more than happy to take a hit graphically if the payoff is a living, breathing city with lots of NPCs to interact with. No more of this GTA fading in bags of meat whose only purpose is to make the city look populated and be killed.

When I first saw this I was thinking this could be a very good slower paced, thinking-man's Mercenaries. I've still got my hopes up that this could turn out to be a great game.

I agree, the textures in this unreleased game are not very good. It totally might not have good graphics when its done.

Well, now that we've discussed the most important topic, would anyone care to speculate on gameplay? Who are these Namco guys anyways, some kind of foreigners? Did they have anything to do with making Halo or Halo 2?

Namco had nothing to do with Halo. Nothing at all...

Namco produced Ridge Racer, Soul Calibur, Dead to Rights...they make ok games.

Well, 'foreigners' are very much dependent upon where you are from and where you are...which is not listed in your profile.

Considering that this is supposed to be a launch title and the Xbox launches in 96 days or so (if the Nov 4 launch date is true), this game doesn't have a ton of time to start looking a hell of a lot better. I have played a few Namco games...I'm not holding out hope that it will look better.

The screens look like a mixed bag of good and ugly. Looks like the developers are having problems making it all gel together.

I'm still interested and will have a look when it's out.
