Thought I'd share :)
Hi folks,
I subscribe to UK magazine Edge, and the latest issue just popped through my letterbox a few days ahead of its newsagent date. Inside is a preview of Killer 7 featuring an interview with Capcom’s Production Studio 4’s general manager, Kobayashi Horiyuki. Plenty of interesting new information is revealed.
First off, the bad news:
“The game was expected for Christmas, but during the interview Horiyuki-san hints that the release has dropped from the colder winter (end of 2003) to the warmer winter (start of 2004).”
Some good news for importers, though:
“Killer 7’s dialogue is in English”
And lots more details about the game:
‘The game is about a hitman. Well, seven hitmen confronting a common enemy called Heaven Smile, who is capable of changing shape by touching people. He’s in the US, and the seven hitmen are dispatched to kill him.’
This manifests itself as the hero having seven lives, as he can switch between the assassins at any point. To switch, he must find a TV, where each of his forms corresponds to a channel.”
“[The footage shown so far] implies a shooting game, but Killer 7 is more than that. ‘You might get that idea because of the way we have shown the game so far, but it is very much an adventure game,’ say Horiyuki-san, before [Grasshopper Manufacture director Goichi] Suda-san interrupts: ‘But it does have the action element, where you shoot your enemies in realtime, not like an RPG with turn-based combat. All the hitmen have different weapons … One has a sniper rifle, one a machine gun, one a rocket launcher...’”
“While Killer 7 is an adventure game, movement is not freeform, but confined to a single button that instructs the player to follow a path which regularly branches in different directions. ‘I’m very proud of the travel system inside the game,’ says Suda-san. ‘It’s like a racing game. You push the acceleration button so that your character speeds up. When you arrive at a spot with a choice of directions, arrows appear and you just need to choose the direction where you want to go. The game camera and travel systems are two of the most important features of the game.’”
“The goal is to locate an enemy which is also capable of changing form, using sound – specifically the enemy’s laugh – as a guide. ‘Yes, you get frustrated hearing this enemy laughing at you!’ exclaims Horiyuki-san with glee. When the player believes the enemy is close, they can trigger a battle sequence. ‘You can fire at will,’ points out Suda, ‘there’s no ammo limitation. Well, you need to reload, but that’s just to make the game better.’”
“It’s a violent game … ‘We were asked about the purpose of the game,’ says Horiyuki-san. ‘But we only had one critic, someone from Europe who asked us not to kill a Christian priest onscreen. Nintendo was not opposed, as I think it knew what our intentions were from our work on Biohazard GC.’”
Plenty of interesting new info! Roll on new year!

First of all, the whole joke lies in the "Christian priests" phrase. There's no such thing as a generalized "Christian priest." All of two denominations have priests, the Catholics and Orthodox, which is why I found the statement funny in the first place. There's no such thing as a Christian priest.
Second, I agree. Catholic priests have been found to be much more heinous individuals, statistically, than your average murderer or ner-do-well. If it were obviously perverted priests we were shooting, I say go ahead. But I doubt that's the kind of priest we're talking about here.
Are catholics not christian? I don't understand what you're saying.Quote:
