Frame City Killer Trailer (Odd) [XBox360]

[bapenguin]

Umm...I don't know what to say. While the game looks to be cool, the music in this trailer is just down right....out of place.

Check it out here (http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/747/747906/vids_1.html).

[Draft]

Wow, that game is fucking japanese and then some.

[thecrazyd]

What? Generic action shooter guy on the XBox looks japanese? That was one of the most American looking games I have seen. Granted, it is not American.

[Draft]

The japanese make plenty of generic shooters, and theres tend to include incomprehensible dialog, nonsensical storylines and wacky music. It screams Japan. I bet the black guy's name is something like "Tune" or "Beat."

[Morrolan]

It is mind-boggling how shitty that game looks.

[KamaItachi]

It's crazy how much cover this is getting in the Japanese press at the moment. I don't know why because it looks mediocre at best now. I had high hopes for it when it was originally announced as a "Thinking Man's GTA" but really it hasn't improved from those first few screenshots I saw. Maybe the proof will be in the pudding and despite the graphical mehness of it all, there's a living, breathing thriving city filled with all manner of good, competent AI and cool NPCs... maybe...

[Worldcrafter]

Wow...I'm going to have to throw up a "wtf" there. If that's someone's idea of next generation, then I'll have nothing to do with it. Ugh, I need to watch that Crytek video again to wash the taste out of my mouth.

[EGO]

If you turn off the sound and watch it, it doesn't look Japanese AT ALL.

It looks like more of the wannabe shit like Dead to Rights, True Crime and a host of other "lets pretend we're Japanese, but really we're western shit" games.

Not to say it doesn't look like crap and that Japanese games can't be crap either... just that it doesn't look "Japanese", it just looks shit.

[Xerxes]

I'm sorry that does look japanese. I've factored in crap like Breakdown, who i think this game's developers might be. It was a funny texture that scream japanese. You say this is crappy and ugly and such but to me it looks like what a third "next gen" shenmue would look like.

[RMan]

I don't know why because it looks mediocre at best now.
The fact that it's using the Unreal engine is likely accounting for the undue hype. Speaking of which, it's odd that the trees don't seem to be using Speedtree, I don't know why you'd throw down the mad cash for the engine and skimp on the 7K (I think) for ST. Ehh, perhaps I'm mistaken, maybe I'm distracted by the wet-leather suit the main guy is sporting.

[Hizawky]

The games graphics look great to me, but yes... the music is quite odd.

[chronocrash]

I couldn't help but laugh my ass off while that song was playing. I'm going to give the devs benefit and say that was meant as humor. Then again, ever listen to the music during Scarface? Worst OST ever. But that doesn't really justify.... I digress.

(shatner)Kahn!(/shatner)

[Xerxes]

Chronocrash, you must not know japanese people... Ok I don't either but I likes there media, and somehow they thought that song fit. Makes ya wonder if Namco has a US marketing team, you know, to say that's ass.

[Sensei-X]

I really want to play this game, sure the music was kinda out of place, but it gave it that dubbed Hong Kong action flick feel. Only gripe I have was the voice acting, it's like the second coming of Last Alert.

[KamaItachi]

They'll probably just market it as "That weird and wacky japanese asassin game" and let the anime fiends swallow it whole.

[Orphiuchus]

I don't know if something just gets lost in translation, or if the Japanese genuinly are incapable of telling when something sounds hoaky, but damn near every attempt at drama or action I see from japan makes me want to kill someone with a claw hammer.

And their music sucks. Yea yea, I know, the music in the video was not Japanese, this is just a general statement. Their music sucks.

[RandomViolence]

Ummm... Xerxes... you're quoting yourself in your sig. Did Narcissus leave you in charge at the spring while he took a break?

[Zeal]

Frame City Engrish

[Shifteh]

Yeah, I mean, if it doesn't have Static-X or Creed, it's bound to fail.

[KamaItachi]

Know what, I'd love to see a really good game soundtrack done by vangellis or Jean M. Jarre (who needs to do more titles after Captain blood) OOOOh or Boards of Canada.

That would be all flavours of fucking awesome.

[Xerxes]

Yeah, I mean, if it doesn't have Static-X or Creed, it's bound to fail.

I have like no fucking idea who that is... But weird ass love ballad sounding music, no no.

[fushi]

I love how the game looks -- completely unassuming. If I'd every buy an XBox 360, then this is the first game I would want to play.

Awesome music too. namco never fails.

[Royal Fool]

We are obviously not talking about the same Namco then.

[fushi]

We are obviously not talking about the same Namco then.
I can't tell, I've only played good namco games. This one is going be beyond good, though, thanks to the ovrblown juxtaposition of cheesyness and style. I'm sure of it.

It's all about the hair cut, that's what japanese care about, i mean, did you see the hair of those women? dear lord what kind of a jell are they using? how many bottels more like.

Other than that, yeah, this game SCREAMS dead to right wannabe.

[Lodin]

Why the hell is that jerk wearing bicycle shades from 1995?

[KamaItachi]

Because in Japan, every year is 1995... or 199x at least.

[KarmaGhost]

I for one am amazed at the range of motion they were able to give those plastic action figures. What? They weren't plastic action figures? Oh.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Wow. That trailer was worth having to go to IGN and enter my age (seriously, why?) just for the laughs.
