[PS2] Capcom announces 'God hand'

I was pretty uninterested in this until I saw the videos of it moving. Fan-fucking-tastic!

The special attacks you can do that require extreme rapid button bashing are especially hilarious, and I love how the enemies can do the same to you. Still laughing so hard at the machinegun punch to the crotch

I was tempted to get the japanese version (the speech is in english already), but most of the move names and descriptions would be lost to me, so when I read it should be coming out in the states next month, I figure I'll wait till then.

Most amazing jew boots

It's Capcom, so it's not that unusual for them to release the game with english voices everywhere. They did it with all Resident Evil games (as did Konami with Silent Hill series), and both previous Clover titles Killer7 and Viewtiful Joe (which was amusing when the anime version was then made in Japanese).

EDIT:

Kinda late for this, but

The game never reached NA, but was featured in Ehrgeiz. I'm surprised that Square hasn't called them on it, unless the rights wern't renewed or something.

Similarly, wasn't God Hand also something mysterious Tomonobu Itagaki was supposedly working on and always refused to talk about?

From play online's recent interview on DOAX2:

Quote:

Will we finally find out what God Hand is?
Of course the God hand system will be implemented, but I don’t plan to reveal what it is until I die. I think it’s going to be called Super God Hand this time around.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
