If you must blink, do it now.
Puck said elves and witches/wizards live together so until the translations actually come out I'm still gonna assume this is the right island.

Also those screenshots look kickin' sweet.

Someone was rough translating from Korean in an /a/ thread but got annoyed by waifuposting so they gave it up, but from the look of it, it's the right island. At least, the party identifies them as Skellig Island wizards/witches.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
I just noticed in those notes about Berserk Musou:

quote:

First print incentive is an extra costume for Casca drenched in water.

You can see from the magazine shot that they matched the manga panel pretty much perfectly, so that's cool. But like... comeon. That's a pretty creepy pre-order bonus :japan:

Considering the first image we saw was Casca during the Eclipse, now there's a picture of her naked held in place and they're offering a "wet t-shirt casca" outfit as a pre-order bonus... blagh. Of all the things to focus on with Berserk Dynasty Warriors that's... not what I would have chosen. Start with the gratuitous violence surely? Even if you want to touch the dark sexual stuff, you build up to that. But comes across like they're almost more interested in that stuff than guts' sword or how many dudes he kills. Seems backwards.

Yeah that'd be satisfying.

There's gonna be some fun free mode alt-stories possible.

Like they said in the play-asia interview, Japan is more comfortable (more interested) in the erotic content, and the West, in general is more comfortable with (more interested in) the violent content.

For sure, but even if you're comfortable with sexuality, things like rape are still a bit uncomfortable and taboo no? That's a whole other bag. That's sexual-violence, not just sex.

And this is the Dynasty Warriors series. Clearly they've managed to get over the violence thing. Its expected from the series.

I feel like they just don't have a cohesive art style of their own. That's what stood out to me on the last trailer. They're trying to ape a hand drawn look for some things and CG texturing for others and it just doesn't work. The Musou people at least have their own style and pipeline in place outside copying the manga.

The CG studio doing Berserk seems pretty new. I don't think the anime looks that bad, and trying to shoot the game models in a "film" way would probably reveal a lot of the weaknesses of the game models/animation, but the musou studio has also been doing what they do for a long time.

So PC users get another buggy port of the PS3 version for some weird reason when the PS4 is a mid-range PC in a black box, right?

It's not even mid range at this point.

They have made PS4 ports too, you know, like Arslan. Even Dragon Quest Heroes would count as one.

"Page not found". Woohoo, it's like they're channeling Miura in February when he decides on another "see you sometime".

oic it apparently bounced to http://imgur.com/a/RqyMD (maybe, I haven't checked the whole thing)

Edit: Woohoo a moon child appearance, but I can't read the symbols so I have to wait. It also sure looks like Puck is in trouble there for some reason. Also, why do these trees look like Ganishka?

The graphic style reminds me more of Dark Souls than Musou, which is appropriate for Berserk. Hopefully they mix up the Musou formula quite a bit and make this a proper Berserk game.

Only a short bit of gameplay but looking very promising. Guts killin' dudes :thumbsup:

Really hope there's dismemberment in the actual game though. Otherwise just causing gouts of blood and knocking enemies back would get rather dull.

You can see Trolls being chopped apart in the trailer. I wouldn't bet on it for humans, unless they add it for the english language versions.

Choppin' up trolls. This is already looking like a good game.

They said they're going to cover the Golden Age arc, then move forward, so my money's on them covering everything in the manga from the beginning up to the founding of Falconia.

It's confirmed on the official site that it covers from Golden Age to the end of Millennium Falcon, yeah.

I would assume that includes Black Swordsman and Lost Children.

Oh, neat. I'd only heard they were starting from Guts' time with the Hawks, then moving "Forward" for some vague value of forward.

The site only opened on the 23rd JP time so it's pretty fresh info.

I want to play as Skull Knight, Zodd, Mozgus, Corkus, Judeau, Pippin, Schierke, Schierke, Schierke, Schierke, Serpico, and all iterations of Guts.

I'm going to be very sad if the game doesn't have a stage where you play as Guts flying around on Zodd's back to fight Ganishka.
