Hot damn, this is raising the standards for arcade-styIe releases. :)

lol Nathan Drakes ugly twin? (judging from that pic)Im gonna watch it now.

I havent seen anything on it since MS E3 conference but i remember it looking real slick. This will probably be my arcade game of 09. I also read in an interview the devs are aspiring for a Metroid vibe. That can only be win.

This looks fun, but why is everyone foaming at the mouth for this, calling this the best downloadable title this gen. What I saw at E3 wasn't exactly ZOMG NEED. Splosion man looks more fun than this imo. And Trine looks WAY better than this imo. navstar29

Ill take fat princess over this : )

God Damnit why didn't I save my Microsoft Points!? :( :cry:

You can't really say any R&C game is comparable to an actual new IP developed for specifically for arcade..r&c was already developed for ps3 and just released an expansion as DD, it could have easily been disc based :? DeadMagazines

Anyone want to bet it scores higher then 7.5?

Also note that Quest for Booty had a great story, had cinematics, great graphics for a PSN title and albeit its about 1/3rd to 1/2 of the "proclaimed length of Shadow Complex". So long as Shadow Complex has no variety it should do just fine on GS.

Believe me, Trine falls apart. While the game is beautiful and the physics-based platforming is awesome at times, the ending completely ditches what made it so awesome and becomes a chore, even though it's short. It makes you go "Wtf were they thinking?!". There's a reason 'Splosion Man scored higher than Trine. It's unique, fun, challenging, rewarding, but most of all, it never loses its momentum, which the same can't be said for Trine. Shadow Complex will outperform both.

Also, the normal length of Shadow Complex isn't 1 1/2 - 2 hours. That's a marathon run through the game. 1UP said it was about 6 hours on ListenUP. R&C is also comparable to a PS3-style release like Warhawk, or an Xbox 360 retail game, NOT an arcade game. Actually, it's more comparable to The Lost & Damned episodic content for GTA IV. The only difference being you don't need a disc to boot it, and also it's about 8 hours shorter than The Lost & Damned.

Did you fail to realize it is a full game? So you'd rather pay $60 for the same game instead of $15? :| Awesome. And Chair developed it, not Epic. Let's give credit where it's due.

Yeah, this will score high. High as the sky, my friend.

Looking good. The only flaw I can see is the rag-doll physics being too sensitive.

It look cool but nothing huge. Just bionic commando and crash commandos with great graphics. I wont lie though if i had a 360 i would get it since im a sucker for side scrollers

[QUOTE="navstar29"][QUOTE="DeadMagazines"] Only bio is saying 'best dl game this gen' :P I'd say its a good chance at 9.0 seeing as how it SHOULD have a good story, it has cinematics which very few arcade games have, the graphics are awesome for arcade, it will be LONG and have good replayability ..as long as it controls good and no bugs it should be 9. Level design is one worry but we'll see. BioShockOwnz

Take a look at this video before you talk. I agree with Bioshockownz; it will be best DLC game IMO.

Release date ?

Day one buy.

Nice I cant wait :D the game looks amazing.

I wish Konami would make a big 2.5D castlevania like that.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="navstar29"] Bio isn't the only one, there's quite a few that are ready to do just about anything for this game and I don't exactly see why. It doesn't stand out as that amazing. It looks like it will be fun no doubt. But Trine has a more beautiful artstyle imo and has similar 2d style gameplay, not sure whether Shadow Complex has co-op though, I believe it does if I remember what I saw at E3 correctly, which should be a lot fun too.

And thats honestly sad to hear about Trine. I was really looking forward to getting it on PSN. But Brad Shoemaker really liked it though, and I've coincided with his opinions most of the time, hopefully this is one of them.

Still don't see what makes Shadow Complex so amazing for some of you. To me it just looks fun, not amazing though.

Like they always say, different strokes for different folks. We'll see when the review drops, though.

Looks like a Crash Commando + Bionic Commando rip-off

looks pretty impressive, dont know about day 1 but I want to check it out

Serious Sam HD, Perfect Dark, Battlefield 1943, Call of Duty 1, Quake 3; Team Arena, Metal Slug 7, Darwinia+ and Final Doom They will all laugh at Shadow Complex 6-12 hours for a arcade game? this is from Epic?......Hmmm, I wonder what the real time will beWWIAB

A bunch of great old games that have since fallen behind to better? Hmm, doesn't sound too convincing. And Epic didn't make the game. ListenUP (1UP) said it lasted 5-6 hours for them.

hassan1989

Nope, not really. Crash Commando was a rip-off of so many titles prior to it, so why even name it? Shadow Complex has much higher production values and up-to-date technology, physics, etc, etc.
