This is never a good thing with game adaptations of other media (except Witcher for some reason)

Miura wrote it, canonically it takes place between volume 22 and 23 of the manga.

It's gonna be real loving weird if they skip The Count's arc but Guts still has his Behilt for some reason. Maybe he'll get it from somewhere else? Or maybe they just won't bring it up at all.

Maybe my brain is broken because I'm excited for an actual anime adaptation of the Black Swordsman arc being less than a month away but I didn't think that last trailer was all that bad? I mean yeah, there were some really bad shots but it didn't seem PS1 QUALITY UNWATCHABLE

it would be great if berserk was popular enough to get the enormous budget needed to animate it properly. it is not. this is the best we are ever gonna get.

I'd rather have nothing at all if this is what we get.

I don't think they're really doing the Black Swordsman Arc, maybe 1 episode where they cover it and then the rest is going to be Conviction.

Cutting the eclipse seems like it would be a pretty good idea for a musou game. Spending all that effort on a scene where Guts didn't have a giant sword and helplessly flailed around seems kind of dumb.

Oh well, I'm not really big on that kind of game anyway.

While truly central to Berserk as a whole, a very poor choice to premiere your game with.

In the Eclipse scene you sequentially play as each character from the Band of the Falcon against increasingly impossible odds, when you die you take control of another character. It's initially presented as a survival mission but the timer is a lie. Even if you somehow make it to 00:00 it just keeps counting down into negative numbers untill you die. This continues until only Gut's is left, flailing aound with his uselss broken sword. When Gut's finally goes down you take control Skull knight and cut your way through the Apostles to save Gut's and Casca.

Am I asking too much from a Musou game? I am aren't I?

The thing is, what's shown in the trailer is far and away the most edgy material they can use. outside of guts slicing dudes up I seriously doubt that they expect many people to actually want to play through the series' more gratuitous scenes and i know for certain that retailers won't want a game that features poo poo like the troll cave on their shelves. The trailer comes off as trashy and is just fishing for controversy imo.

It's not really a trailer though. It's more of a teaser confirming that they're making Berserk Musou, and while I agree there are hundreds and hundreds of better ways to establish there's a Berserk game coming, this also establishes that fact and it has got people talking.

I guess the game maker knows the berserk fan demographic better than I do. That's like the last scene I'd consider appropriate for teasing the game... Can you take control of the tentacles or something in a minigame? It's embarrassing.

I'm just sick of the golden age arc in general since is been done already twice by anime, and meanwhile the entire loving rest of the story hasn't ever been covered by anything other than the manga itself.

Well, I guess there was that one dreamcast game?

Josuke Higashikata posted:

Yeah agreed. On the one hand, its definitely berserk, and it means they're not censoring the story.

On the other hand, why

Especially because its a Musou game. Its not going to be anything other than Guts killing 1000 soldiers over and over. This isn't the genre for making an RPG about Berserk's darker story, it should just be balls-to-the-wall action because that's all Koei / Omega Force can do.

I think it's fair to cringe at the developer's decision to have a teaser that is literally nothing but panning over Casca's naked body as she's being molested and is about to be raped.

It also has a fan translation so if you got a decent computer there's no reason not to try it out (emulation is a tad glitchy, nothing ruinous though). I feel it actually does a solid job of translating Guts' fighting into gameplay.

Depends on whether you use software or hardware mode. Hardware mode there's tons of graphical glitches, software the only one is that the health and berserk meter HUD elements don't show up properly.
