Have you seen the gameplay? If not, I don't see how you could make any of those assumptions. It might work fine, none of us have seen it.

Ehhhh, I don't think Ninja Gaiden is quite the same; it's definitely action hack 'n' slash, not really action adventure.

I think this is an excellent idea. My first reaction was 'um, no thanks', but upon reading the details, it sounds good; fighting titans or huge creatures while fighting other players, a class system in third-person action gameplay, the great combat system of GoW being put into a PvP context...

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the tip. Not much of an anime fan but there are a few series' I really enjoy.

Awesome post.

Money's too tight for being leaders.

'May you both live happily ever after?....'

Yeah, I suppose I actually found them more graphic and visceral than creepy, I guess. I found the tone of the 'haunted house' one actually pretty comforting, though, oddly.

Wa's Lain?

I was playing the demo for Dragon's Dogma the other day, and was fighting the griffin in the countryside level (imagine the Dragon battles in skyrim, but honestly, truly, about 10x better). For once I couldn't down it and my team was failing, repeatedly; even until it got dark. Nighttime in the game was properly pitch…

I found other Animatrixes much creepier. The running guy who ran out of the Matrix, for example. God that was horrific.

It's also not really anything like Dust- you can't free move, and it's games of 3v3 not upwards of 30 people per match. The only vaguely similar thing is the mate-game; but in Dust this is an online metagame with EVE players- in this it's just a thing all players of the game are working towards which resets every few…

And yet... He has a sort of rustic wisdom. That's also the point.

I think that's a big inspiration for it. I think it's a really great idea.

Co-op horror could definitely work; just nobody has done it yet.

I never played it, but watched a friend play it a bit.

You haven't played any of the GTA's after London...?! The biggest control leaps were made after that one! And GTAIV made it just about on par with any TPS or FPS out today.

You can also play the entire Thief series like that, along with what others said. Amnesia: Dark Decent is now the go-to reference for what you said, though. That's one helluva scary game.

Isn't it even a good thing that the comparison is even there? Plenty of AAA FPS melee games get no such comparison.

Hopefully a way to get some non-gamer friends to appreciate the series.
