What's black, white, and red all over? These dudes I just cut in half.
I've seen a few episodes of Afro Samurai and thought they were good; I've seen footage from the upcoming game and thought it looked good; and I've read our coverage on the game and thought it sounded good. Today, I played the game and I can tell you I have no idea how the final product will do, but the few minutes of hacking and slashing I experienced weren't good.
They were damn good.
John GodGames Emus has released some new videos, showing Haze, Afro Samurai, Armored Core V and Clash of the Titans running in 4K on the PC thanks to the Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
Whatever happened to Afro Samurai 2? After they took it off the digital store I thought they’d come back with an improved product
The framerate and rending were more of the concern over resolution for me, and I can see they are making solid strides. Haze runs pretty well and doesn't seem to have many graphical or audio glitches (one cannot say the same for Ghost Recon lol). Given Sony hasn't provided any real backwards compatibility options, this is something I might consider. I still have my PS3 hooked up if I have a hankering for some last gen goodness, but I also wouldn't mind playing those games with either increased resolution or frame rate, whenever the emulator gets to that point :-)
Banner Saga publisher Versus Evil are going to be releasing an Afro Samurai game, they announced this morning. The game is being developed by Redacted Studios for PC and next-gen consoles.
This is something unexpected! I loved the show and the first game was decent. I hope RZA does the music again for this game like he did the last one.
First one was cool
INtroduced the free cutting mechanic used in games like Metal Gear Rising
Love anything Afro Samurai. Wish they would make another film with soundtrack by RZA again.
Hope they've got RZA and Samuel L. Jackson (or at least a damn good impersonator). Just wouldn't be Afro without those guys behind it
Samurai games are fun to play because players are able to play as one of not only history's greatest warriors.
I appreciate the comments, negative and positive. Since its an opinion piece, everyone's opinions are different and not everyone is going to agree. Kessen was also a good game too. The list could go to Top 6, Top 10, Top 20, Top 50 and so on. There are many samurai games to decide from and could be difficult to choose for the top 5.
Please add your own Top 5 Samurai Games to the comments.
So it was good then?
Afro samurai is a series i rewatch at least a month. I love the series, and from what i have seen and heard(awesome soundtrack) so far has me so pumped. It is my most anticipated third party game for next year.
I'll at least rent it. Sounds like fun. I get a kick out of those action hack and slash. Conan was a guilty pleasure... well except for those annoying boss battles, and Vikings was alot of visceral fun. Oh and don't forget No More Heroes :)
