Earlier this week, as the presentations at its 2007 Editors' Day event were coming to a close, Namco Bandai teased attendees with a trailer for its previously unannounced Afro Samurai game. The early portion of the trailer prominently featured Afro Samurai voice man and GTA: San Andreas veteran Samuel L. Jackson, who talked about how exciting anime sexuality and violence can be when it's done well. Several short, bloody clips from Gonzo's popular anime followed, along with shots of concept art from the show's creator, Takashi Okazaki.

During the trailer, we were told that Afro Samurai is the most powerful, soulful story ever told in manga, and that the upcoming game won't water its content down in any way. Namco Bandai's spokesperson at the event claimed that while many games "use and abuse" the M-rating "like mayo," the uncut, uncensored, unadulterated Afro Samurai will carry an M-rating that everyone can be proud of. The rendered movie sequence that followed was devoid of sex and violence, but showed close-ups of Afro's hands, feet, sword, and clothing soaked in blood. The message "blood is beautiful" flashed up on the screen momentarily before we were treated to our first look at some Afro Samurai gameplay--a handful of clips that added up to around three seconds of footage. All we could really discern from the footage was that Afro Samurai will be a third-person action game and that, at some point, he'll run across a bridge trailing his sword behind him. In all honesty, those two to three seconds looked kind of generic, but then, we were very deliberately being teased, and it's conceivable that we blinked and missed all of the really good stuff.

At the time of writing, Namco Bandai hasn't released any further information on Afro Samurai, save for the fact that it's being developed by a team that counts at least one former Naughty Dog among its number. We'll bring you more information on Afro Samurai as soon as it becomes available. And remember, "nothing personal, it's just revenge.

the real question is whether Namco loves the 360 enough to port Tekken 6 onto it.

Honestly I wish.

With Capcom's recent decision to make DMC4 multiplat, I wouldn't be surprised if Namco followed suit.

I doubt it. I remember hearing that the arcade version is using the Cell in some sort of way.

The thought isn't 'Namco loves MS', but 'MS loves money'. Microsoft has been buying up exclusives left and right like crazy lately (Katamari D, Devil May Cry, Soul Calibur, Ace Combat, GTA, Ridge Racer...)because they REALLY want to win that Japanese audience and complete stage 2 of their world domination quest. I don't really see why they have to 'rule' the gaming world too... several 100's of millions of dollars a year nicely compliments the several BILLION a year they make from the computer side of things. Why do they not accept that and leave things to Sony (or Wii, for us underdog hopefulls) in the gamming side of things?

Namco doesn't love the 360. Namco loves money. 360 makes developers money. in the end, it's about money. and when/if the 360 stops making them the kind of money that some competing system can make, Namco's love will stop. because again...it's not about the 360. it's about what the 360 can give back to them.

People were saying that the architecture of the arcade machine (forgot the name) that houses VF5 is almost the same as the PS3. Something about the RSX I think.

I honestly don't see anything they're doing with Tekken 6 that can't be done on 360, but that's just my opinion.

lol. True, I wish the 360 d-pad didn't have diagonal controls...but the 360 controller is overall more comfortable than sixaxis.

I don't see many wanting Tekken 6 other than shoving the fact down Cow's throats. Pretty stupid and lame if you ask me. Personaly, I don't want Tekken to go anywhere else but the PS3. It's always been apart of the Playstation name. If it were to go elsewhere, I'd feel a small bit insulted.

I beg to disagree. Tekken belongs to the arcade scene.

Well duh. But arcades are a dying breed in the US. Some of us have to rely on consoles for their arcade fighting needs.

But what they should really do is make a game off of Nina Scroll, even if that won't ever happen.

I personally like Tekken. Not to shove it or anything but i still play Tekken 5 from time to time. It's been in my PS2 for about a week.
