It's really Ridiculous (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVdhpYI8bwA)
Here is the rundown:
Bodyslam a Dragon
Shapeshifting
Joe Pesci
A "National Treasure" type of plot
Summoning torture Gear
Summoning Huge Chess Pieces (apparently)
European witches
I guess that sums the trailer up quite nicely...

I'm sorry, but after watching that I cannot help be more excited by the fact that this is slowly turning into God Handesque camp.

That actually looked pretty bitchin'.
Still not sure if I can get past the costume made of hair cause, you know, ew.
But still.

I liked it. It doesn't seem to be taking itself seriously, as it shouldn't be, and as long as it controls well, I see no reason why it shouldn't, it should be an amazing game. Although it will probably be a game you'd be embarrassed to play in front of your friends, cuz, ya know, naked chick.

Godhand had you fight power rangers-esque midgets. It also had a lot of hard gay characters. This seems to be turning into a new Godhand...And that's far from being bad.
Yeah, God Hand was simply amazing. One of the best brawlers of all time, so far as I'm concerned. I just hope Bayonetta is as hard as God Hand.

i still get a huge Bullet Witch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzuiS7OZA_U&feature=related) + Bloodrayne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5EODSMgWKo) vibe out of this.
It still can be a good game... i mean, c'mon... it's a Devil May Cry clone. Anyone who liked Devil May Cry is likely to love this for the same reasons. Just the graphical coating is different ...and insane

That trailer was damn sexy, despite YouTube crapping out the quality. This looks even more like an in-your-face to DMC than ever, which is all good in my book, and it's "taking so bad it's good" to seemingly a new level. I have yet to see a modicum of restraint and I'm loving it! XD

I am too suprisingly impressed, the first trailer looked like it would be garbage but the gameplay looks pretty nice I gotta say.

I love DMC as much as, well, I dunno, a lot, but I certainly wouldn't play this. I don't want to play a DMC clone, I want to play DMC.

Looks awesome to me. If it is amazingly difficult, I may finally get a console. That's assuming it turns out to be a good game as well, of course.

Basically, but the gameplay looked cool, so I don't know.
I've loved the idea the whole time, but even if you didn't like the concept, I think that the gameplay itself would be awesome was always a pretty safe bet.

It's a great concept until you think "what does she use to wipe her @$$?"

I for one think this game will be Crazy Awesome. It reminds me once again that I need to finally get around to picking up a 360.

Paper. Just because her hair is crazy, it doesn't mean she'll use it for everything. Like bedsheets or a towel.
...It'd be pretty weird to see a girl using her hair as a towel on her hair, now that I think about it.

This is like every goddamned non-mech (so far) action anime trope rolled into one and I want to kill it until it's dead.
Going for intentionally campy doesn't make something good. They're overdoing it, and that makes things bad.

Sexy Librarian panthermorph who pile drives dragons, gets advice from a Blaxploitation guy, and has a pimp, whom she saves from a low flying airplane.
I believe this game shall be polarizing, as if you have a sense of humor and play, you'll like it, but if you don't, you'll hate it.
It's just a game, and stop thinking that game A is rediculous, when you all enjoy playing game B about a plumber who eats mushrooms to get big, beats up giant turtles, and bodyslams/butt stomps dragons, and game C where by the end of an adventure, a boy originally armed with a wooden sword can be able to kill God, and often does so.

Go play Godhand. Shadow Hearts too. Especially the third game. Lots of camp doesn't mean something will be bad, either.

There's also game D where a mammal turns blue from running and saves his planet from a mad scientist but they've lost a bit of the charm lately.

Exactly. I'm just saying, the hair thing is so far a stretch, how far until this breaks?
Now I might have to see about this game just for the sheer lengths that this game may go to spoof DMC and God of War.

Uh, guys, you DO realize that this game is being made by the guy who CREATED Devil May Cry, right?
If anything, it's a spiritual successor. XD
Yeah, he said that there's obviously DMC influence, and that that much is apparent, but he's also trying to make it its own game beyond being a DMC clone.

As mentioned I want to sex Kayima's butt for making DMC, but than again DMC3 was made by a completely separate guy so I dunno.
It will be a rental, and I will decide from there.

I believe this game shall be polarizing, as if you have a sense of humor and play, you'll like it, but if you don't, you'll hate it.I do have a sense of humor; it's just this is like saying 'you should have a sweet tooth' when you're trying to pour Karo syrup down my throat.Go play Godhand. Shadow Hearts too. Especially the third game. Lots of camp doesn't mean something will be bad, either.Note, I said "They are overdoing it", not just "A lot of camp guarentees it will be bad and unwatchable".
Shadow Hearts was a good series. It worked with its anachronistic campiness because it was actually pretty well balanced. Balanced with some touches of Lovecraftian-style horror.
This game, however, seems to be throwing that balance out the window and just going all out over the top, which is really tricky and hard to pull off, even if you've done it before.
Seriously, it's getting to the point where if someone says something bad against this, people are going "Well, it's campy, it's supposed to be that way, you just don't get it." No. I get it perfectly. As someone with "Mars Attacks" on thier DVD wishlist, I get the intentional campiness thing perfectly. I just don't see the end product in this case working that well at all. The game itself looks fun, but I just cannot accept the package it comes it.
We'll just have to see how it turns out. Though I have high hopes, now that I'm done being an asshole I can definitely see where Mike is coming from.
I am really hoping this game has a catchy theme song as good as God Hand's. Very few things are more awesome than that song.

...Have you played the newer Bard's Tale?
It makes it even funnier when you understand that it was the Bard who called forth the Nuckleavee. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZO1DIXglpA&feature=related)

If you had hair like that, would YOU waste money on towels and bed sheets and toilet paper?

Okay, for clarification, "doesn't make something good" does NOT mean "ensures something will be terrible". It simply means that something won't be instantly good just because it was made campy.

So what we all should come away from here with is that TDK is totally fine with having shit in his hair.
If my hair could turn into a demon-eating dragon and pure energy and armor and all this nonsense, I think I could clean itself just fine.
Another thing I think worth bringing up is the fact that awesome gameplay can make up for annoying voice acting and terrible/mediocre plot. The best example is Star Ocean 4. Now, I'm not going to call it Game of the Year or anything of the sort, but the battles, especially the boss battles, were so damned satisfying and fun that I enjoyed the game in spite of the generic plot and horrible voice acting, and that game had some of the worst voice acting I've heard in recent years.
So, even if you don't think you'll like the plot, voice acting, and abundance of camp, this game probably has solid enough gameplay to be worth checking out.
