[AC] [PC] Gunslinger Stratos

Kinda like Platinum Games' upcoming brawler, but with guns. Looks cool (at least as cool as an exclusively versus game can look...)

Yoichi Wada (Square Enix CEO) was quoted (roughly) at the announcement presentation: "Arcade games were originally the main thread of the videogame world. We developed from the question of whether we could create a game in that main thread that would really get your adrenaline pumping."

Producer Nobuki Kadoi commented, "We want this to be a game that changes the history of arcade games." He introduced the trailer:

Finally, a Japan-wide Gunslinger Stratos tournament was announced. Put on by Square Enix, it's the first arcade game domestic tournament with a cash prize. Daigo Umehara, famous progamer and winner of many a fighting game tournament, was introduced as an official supporter of the game.

His initial impression: "I don't know all the details yet, but at a glance I feel that this game will become the heart of the arcade—that's how big of an impact it had on me."

On the topic of the cash prize: "It changes your motivation for playing depending on whether or not there is a tournament, so I've been thinking it would be cool to have this sort of competition domestically as well."

He added, "For both people who often went to arcades back in the day and people who are thinking of going to arcades, there maybe hasn't really been a really good reason to go back, but I think this game could become that good reason."

This was released in July and still looks really cool.

It runs on the Havok engine. Everything from Dead Rising 2, to Vanquish, to this run on that engine. Who needs Unreal Engine 3, eh?

I got to get my ass back to Tokyo one of these days.
