Suda 51's HeROes: New videos
Gus at Looky Touchy has a link to a post over at The Wiire, a site devoted to the Nintendo Wii, about an upcoming title, HeROes.
Produced by Suda 51, aka Goichi Suda, of Killer 7 fame, the game sports the distinctive art style that had pundits postulating on "games as art," though it appears to sport a slightly less demented storyline and substantially more ultra-violence.
Though the links seem missing out of the Looky Touchy post, I managed to dig up a video over at The Wiire, or peep the whole directory here for more options.
The trailers look incredible, and will rumble your subs with gunfire aplenty. Try to ignore the characters when they talk, though. The dialogue is cheesy and poorly done and hopefully just filler for the trailers. With Killer 7 not exactly faring fantastically at the checkout counter, let's see if the guys at Grasshopper Manufacture and Capcom can drop something a little less...esoteric on us come Wii season.

Looks trully amazing and promising, for me, it's the first Wii product which i'm really interested in - I loved killer7, it was an awesome and a little confusing experience. But to be honest, i'm a little bit afraid, this video was supposed to be aired at E3, but the publisher decided not to do it: bad omen.

If they can steer the gameplay more toward the normal shooter they really have a chance with this. I hope they don't decide to go off the deep end with the gameplay, because the visuals will be enough of a hook for most people.

I hope they not, killer 7's main power was it's unique and easy-to-pick-up gameplay, it allowed you to concentrate on the story - which will be a critical part of Heroes too, I hope.
