New game from Grasshopper

Website : http://www.ea.com/shadows-of-the-damned

Quote:
In Shadows of the Damned, gamers will assume the role of Garcia, a hard-as-nails, leather-clad, motorcycle-riding professional demon hunter who finds his true love kidnapped by vengeance-seeking demons. As he explores the farthest reaches of the netherworld, Garcia battles through hell and back, with danger and turmoil around every corner. Throughout Shadows of the Damned gamers will find themselves challenged by demented puzzles and thrust into gruesome battles with vile and deformed creatures that can only come from the darkest recesses of hell. The game features a grotesque, highly stylized art direction that transports players into a grisly world. The entire experience is enveloped with a pulse-pounding musical score by famed videogame music composer Akira Yamaoka, that takes the over-the-top action sequences and intense boss battles that both Suda51 and Mikami are renowned for creating to new heights.

Going for original plotlines, there, then :)

Game looks OK, though.

Nope. I think it looks like the biggest load of shite since Devil May Cry 5. I didn't want to be the first who said it though in case I would be accused of being a petulant child.

It looks good fun, but I thought it was a Wii game when it first came on.

Looks more than a little RE4 esque to me.

Mikami's games are amongst my favourite.

Interested.

That was my thought , bits of it reminded me of RE4 (so thats a good thing) , however I was then reminded of RE5 (which was more of a dissapointment)

As a trailer I think it looks interesting and i'd like to see more about it.

Looks too much like a 3rd person shooter to me, which is a bit of a shame as I don't really like them. I like 3rd person stuff, but not shooters, as I find it hard to aim.
