Popular Post ziggypossum Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Quote Wanted: Dead, a hardcore third-person shooter/slasher game currently in development by the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive team 110 Industries and Soleil announce third-person action game Wanted: Dead for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC Due out in 2022. Publisher 110 Industries and developer Soleil have announced Wanted: Dead, a high-octane third-person action game in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. It will launch in 2022. Wanted: Dead promises “spectacular melee combat and exciting gunplay,” and is set in a “dark and dangerous version of science-fiction Hong Kong where you will need sharpened skills to survive.” Director: Hiroaki Matsui (Ninja Gaiden series director) Producer: Yoshifuru Okamoto (producer of Ninja Gaiden II and Devil’s Third) Lead Designer: Natsuki Tsurugai Composer: Dasha Rush Matsui and Tsurugai shared the following comments during the 110 Industries Tokyo Game Show 2021 Online Showcase: Hiroaki Matsui, Director “[The protagonist is] a strong woman with a large build. But just because she’s powerful doesn’t mean she gets to be happy ever after. Much like she would in real life, she has her own problems. She’s supposed to be an ordinary human, but she winds up with a dangerous set of skills. Those talents wind up throwing her in life-or-death missions. “Obviously, that comes with its own type of hardship. And she isn’t just running around going ‘Oh God! I’m so scared!’ She just takes it all head on. At least on the surface, she doesn’t appear emotional as she takes on her challenges. I think that gives our heroine a somewhat hardboiled appeal. That’s her character. I think the fact that she’s both strong and beautiful is appealing. But at the same time, she’s very human. She hides that humanity within herself. She’s filled with that hardboiled attitude I previously mentioned, where she barely lets her humanity show. She’s a very cool character, I think. I think that’s appealing. “Of course, since I’ve been making action games for a while, I have lots of parts I’d be picky about. Especially in action parts themselves. I’ve been doing cutscenes and story scenes in games like that for a long while. So I wanted to get the storytelling in this one JUST right.” Natsuki Tsurugai, Lead Designer “We’re trying for a very hardcore game too, very different from Japanese clients. Most Japanese publishers are headed down a path where they want a lot of casual games. But 110 Industries was straightforward from the get-go and said they wanted a hardcore game. They were very passionate about it. And since we’d been making difficult action games for a long time… we were able to settle on things very easily. “We both wanted to make a hardcore game. It felt like we had very similar wishes. It felt like we were able to figure out what sort of hardcore game we wanted to make, and that for all the big policies, we were all on the same page. Since the scenario and IP are all original work, they’ve got all this passion for what they’re doing. We can’t really interfere with that. But we really want to take the charm that their ideas have, and their passion. “And since we’re making a hardcore game, we don’t have to worry too much about definitions. With a Japanese publisher, we’d have screen reader support enabled to figure out what exactly ‘casual’ means for a specific game. And it’s difficult. With a hardcore game, we don’t have to do that. And it’s been really easy so far.” https://www.gematsu.com/2021/10/110-industries-and-soleil-announce-third-person-action-game-wanted-dead-for-ps5-xbox-series-and-pc Edited August 22, 2022 by ziggypossum Release Date Announced 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandedBerserk Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) We don't get too many third person action games nowadays so I'll be keeping an eye on this one and with the devs aiming for it to be more of a hard-core experience here's hoping we get a trophy list that reflects that.

Mori Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Goes on my watchlist for sure. I am afraid Germany will get their censor scissors out again for this one though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverythingOnFire Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Looks like a game that could have been released 10-15 years ago, and that's a much welcome thing for me. Quirky, maybe a bit cringey, and most likely a little perverse. A lot of the bigger action games we get nowadays take themselves too seriously, and/or have boring & safe characters and stories. And like someone above me said, we don't get many big 3rd person action games anymore, so that's another positive it has going for it. Oh, and that dismemberment system looks rad. I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mori Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm confused, not sure if I am going to like or dislike this game. Glad we have a release date though, lets see if they can deliver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JavaNext Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Oh my... I was curious about this but that gameplay crushed my interest in it. The main character animation looks fine but enemies look so stilted and the screaming, my god the screaming! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggypossum Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 I don't mind the PS2 era graphics, but AI looks very bad. The enemies just stand here and do nothing. Really? "Don't make me laugh" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
