    I know I already made the comment, but I'm honestly not certain which marines people are referring to.

    I didn't pick up anything in the Halo series, so the last "guy in space FPS" game I picked up was... I don't think I remember one.

    Are they really that overused in the games people actually buy?

    Code: Veronica is absolutely gaming gold

    Code Veronica is my second least favourite 'real' RE game (behind RE Zero). I mean come on, Steve.

    Edit: As for the space marine, I think it's just that the space suit has become so common it's become a cliche. Halo, Crysis, Timeshift and Haze are ones I can think of just off the top of my head, there's others as well.

    On the other hand, even in Mikami's best games the characters have been enormous cliche's anyway, so you probably should've known what to expect when you entered the thread.

    Wait, so Mikami is partly responsible for when the characters in the games he produces are flawed, but he gets NO credit when he produces awesome games?

    I'm struggling to understand this logic.

    Resident Evil is just one big cliché


    Although it is the best cliché ever.

    o_O Did you come from silly goose land or something? What the hell gave you the idea I was talking about characters from games he's produced? You realise he's been designing and directing games for years, right? Resident Evil. Dino Crisis. Resident Evil 4. God Hand. He directed all of those games and all of their characters were giant clichés.

    You confuse Cliche with Bad. Their definitions are different.

    Don't worry it's a common error.

    Cliche's are cliche because they work. A well done cliche always works. Most people don't really want originality, they want something familiar done really well.

    Honestly though, being third person shooter has got me kinda interested.

    No multiplayer though, but whatever. Looks interesting.

    Also, :lol:

    I'm interested...but what do we have...a trailer that doesn't explain anything and a couple of screenshots.

    Doesn't exactly make for great conversation.

    Well, I suppose.

    The boost system sounds cool though. Sounds like the game would be more actiony. Shinji mikami + action = awesome.

    The graphics look pretty damn good too. Apparently they're using the PS3 as the lead platform this time.

    The game needs Kamiya himself as a custom skin, or a supporting character, or an npc that fights alongside you at some point.

    "we got approximately 8 hours to stop that from happening.

    On the other, I said the exact same thing about Too Human.

    Count me in as "cautiously optimistic"

    Really? o_O Doesn't look all that alike.

    At least the hit animation and movement doesn't look as stilted.

    C'mon, it's shinji and Platinum. They've proven themselves more than capable of making great action games.

    Sorry I've been up wayyyy to late....I guess I'll have to see how the systems compare, but I am very excited for this game.

    The trailer still feels far more Halo than Gears to me, but they aren't that dissimilar of games outside of art-style and camera placement. I await gameplay! But I still say the art style for this game just feels like a grittier Halo.

    The helmet seems very similar to me, even if they don't match up exactly. I'm a sucker for sci-fi super-armors though.

    What gives you that idea? At the end of the trailer it has both the PS3 logo and the 360 logo.
