Look at the gameplay and try to comprehend what the title of my post says.

Yes it's true. Initially i thought it was on PS2 or PSP. But no, it'sPS3/XBOX.

Why? Apparently it's from an anime, but... why?!?!

You've never heard of Fist of the North Star? I don't even really like anime and I recognized it.

Fist of the North Star + Dynasty Warriors engine = recipe for success (in Japan, anyway).

My younger brother loves God Hand. I'm sure he's going to love this. The only FotNS series we saw was Legends of the Dark King: A Fist of the North Star Story, but it was awesome. A shame the manga series has never been published in its entirety here in the States.

Actually, if I remember right, a lot of peopleplaying God Handwere reminded ofFist of the North Star.

Wikipedia: "Although God Hand appears to share many elements with manga and anime such as Fist of the North Star and MD Geist, none were actually used as inspiration for the game."

ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA----WAAAAA! That's Fist of the North Star, and it looks freaking awesome. ATATATATA and exploding dudes, very true to the source material. When is it being localized? I'd import it, but I'm already dead.

Because graphics aren't everything.

I actually think the game looks decent, that's just a bad video.

That's probably the main thing, actually. Most current-gen games that are shown on YouTube look a little bit dated, I think.

I was actually referring to the OP and the comments on the game looking "last gen", but thanks for the better video anyway. :D

Graphics wise, it look fine. There's a certain graphical style to it that I like (Cel-shading, maybe?). Gameplay wise, I was never a fan of the DW games (or WO), so I doubt this'll be my cup of tea, if it ever gets a PAL release. Still, I know one guy who would be amazed by this.

It certainly looks better than the DW/SW games. But that isn't saying much.
