I want some Fujikoma action...

Please play like a sequel to the first game, please play like a sequel to the first game...

I vaguely remember Ghost In The Shell on the PSone, and I only remember how funny it was. This, however, seems to look very nice. I'll await more gameplay feedback before I get too excited, though.

given the screens, that seems highly unlikely. i mean, in that game you were fuchikoma, in this game you're the chickie. and the dude. sorry, not a GITS fan. ^_^;;

also, i think exact -- the developers of the first game, as well as the team that actually did the coding/dev on jumping flash! and jf!2 -- are kaput. sadly.

uh... what are you talking about? that was a solidly good game, certainly not bad enough to inspire humor even if you didn't like it.

[Nomi]

No, no. You mistake me. I don't think it's funny because it was bad. It's just that it was one of the first games I saw for the PSone, and it was rather strange. I hadn't seen the anime beforehand and it made very little sense to me. Just recalling my fascinated confusion, that's all. ^^

I know, but I'm hoping it still plays in a similar design style and hopefully with some high-jumping Fuchikoma aspects. The inside portions of the first game could be done fairly close as a person (not that it made much sense to have Fuchikomas barging through some of those buildings like they had, but whatever), I'm just hoping this doesn't become a typical 3D action game with a license.

And even though you probably don't care, chickie is Kusanagi and dude is Batou.

I know.

Looks Oni-ish...

i thought that was her name, but i wasn't sure, so i didn't bother. i'll consider caring when the TV show comes out. i didn't like the movie that much but i saw it years ago and dubbed, so i'd like to see it again (but not enough to buy it.) i'll also certainly watch innocence as well. at any rate, i may care in the future. =)

While absolutely gorgeous the movie wasn't paced all that well and, much like Akira (though on a much smaller scale), it's more of a recap of events that got rewritten to fit into a smaller timetable. I liked the movie but they really glossed over almost everything and left out a bunch of other stuff and I could easily how someone wouldn't like it. I'd recommend the manga over the movie, but I think that's usually the case anyway.

Since I'm guessing you haven't followed the storylines, SAC is an alternate timeline in which the end of GitS never happened. GitS 2 (manga) is the continuation of the first manga and I have no idea which timeline (if either) that Innocence follows. They really need to stop doing this.

Looks rad.

I'll buy it but I'm a Shirow/GitS whore.
