New MadWorld trailer is a chainsawin' good time

by David Hinkle { Oct 1st 2008 at 9:02PM }

A new video for Sega and Platinum Games' upcoming gorefest MadWorld has made its way onto the internets (it was a DVD supplement to the latest issue of Famitsu) and, for fans of vroom-ing chainsaws, it's sure to be a delight. We're not cheering for the title due to its bucketloads of violence, personally, but rather because an over-the-top violent experience that parodies game shows sounds like a treat across all fronts. Plus, you know, it's Platinum Games.

Catch the video after the break.

Wow another wii game loaded with graphic crappyness... did I say crappyness? I meant "style"... *sigh*

You sir are moron

Rich @ Oct 1st 2008 10:41PM

And you sir, are an obnoxious gamer-fanboy to take such offense at someone disliking a game you have never even played.

Rich @ Oct 1st 2008 10:47PM

But I am willing to look past your comment this time since you clearly aren't smart enough to speak in complete sentences. You should spend less time playing wii and more time working on your grammar.

He wasn't defending the game as much as the idea that Nintendo is putting out games w/ stylized (bad) graphics to compensate for the lack of a heavy duty system. I think it's pretty smart. Wind Waker was AMAZING, due in part to the fact that they didn't have to render a real-looking Link. The animation was incredible because the colors were simpler than they would have been.

Sorry Chris I must have missed his comments debating the value of graphics vs. a lack of a heavy duty system. And his comparisons to Game Cubes Wind Walker completely went over my head. I only noticed his caveman like attempt at an insult "You sir are moron" You must have more experience working with the learning disabled than I do, Chris.

"And you sir, are an obnoxious gamer-fanboy to take such offense at someone disliking a game you have never even played."

I think he was taking offense at you complaining about a game that you have never even played.

Rich @ Oct 2nd 2008 12:22AM

I was complaining about the graphics that I have seen not the game I havent played, Sonic. You like playing games in black and white, I don't, I think it looks crappy thats my opinion and I'm entitled to it without a bunch of obnoxious gamers calling me a moron so go spam Amazon with 1 star ratings for Spore or whatever gamers-spazzes do and STFU.

You're the worst grammar Nazi ever.

Rich @ Oct 2nd 2008 2:46AM

Wow, roto that comment is about as ridiculous as that giant diamond earring Harrison Ford wears. That's right your avatar is a douche bag.

nig @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:24AM

wow rich. err, who peed in Your cereal this morning?

Rich @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:36AM

Oh just a bunch of gamer nazis that think that anyone who doesnt think making a game black and white is "cool" or "retro in an I Love Lucy kind of way" should be insulted.

Roto13 @ Oct 2nd 2008 12:23PM

Cry more.

Gun Barrier @ Oct 1st 2008 9:36PM

Does limiting a color palette in a game reduce the precessing needed to run a game?

nig @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:23AM

wow rich. err, who peed in Your cereal this morning?

nig @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:24AM

eh cripes. soz soz

Having just watched the Japanese movie "Machine Girl," my craving for this game has been renewed.

If you have a taste for MadWorld, watch Machine Girl

Nigeria @ Oct 2nd 2008 5:43AM

Oh my gosh, you've seen that.

That film is so bloody awful - but hilarious.

Remember the drill bra?

Mr Khan @ Oct 2nd 2008 9:14AM

The Drill Bra, the Jr High Shuriken Force, the Super Mourning Force

Made me lol all the way through

dude, this is the WIIfanboy site, not the ps3 or 360 site, we'ra all friends here, so chill...Im anticipating MADWORLD so much! and remember this is an online comment site, grammar holds no court here.

Marcelo @ Oct 1st 2008 11:39PM

I dunno I was kind of underwhelmed. Specifically because since it's all the same black and white palate it's hard to tell the characters from the background when there's a lot of motion. In the still frames I've seen I've thought that it looks really cluttered and difficult to discern what's what. This video confirms that.

Stylized graphics are great if they worked. Without color to help differentiate what's an actionable object or character and what's a background, it's going to be an eyesore to play.

Roto13 @ Oct 2nd 2008 2:26AM

You definitely need to check out a higher res video. That tiny one doesn't do it justice at all.

Thomas Vanderslice @ Oct 2nd 2008 3:59AM

BG music: 7L & Esoteric? Yes or no?

Johnnyg0 @ Oct 2nd 2008 12:42PM

KMFDM!!!

Really it looks like their album covers.. or that "drug against war" video.. or basically anything Aidan Hughes has done (the artist who did all their covers)

Why didn't I thought of this before. hehe

@Rich, don't look up this artist, you will simply hate it :)
