Konami was awesome from ~1987 to ~1997. Then it all went to shit with a few exceptions.
Looking back, Konami was really on point in the early stages of the Playstation/Saturn era with Suikoden, Vandal Hearts and SotN. All classics in my book.

Not really. Their PS2 lineup is pretty great.
Silent Hill 2 and Gradius V I support. Don't bring MGS shit in here...
Suikoden 3 was amazing as well. Not as good as 2, sure, but still a great game.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

Konami: There's been a bit of misinformation when it comes to the blood sprays, but they definitely are in the game. Some sites covering the demo remarked that they'd seen a fountain or geyser of blood. The blood geysers are certainly in. However, what we showed was taken from the pre-alpha build.
Like all fans, we know how important the blood sprays are as a series trademark, and we're always fine-tuning them (along with all the other effects) to make sure they gush just right. So stay tuned.

Because it's not anime enough? Not Behemoth enough? Or not burly enough?
I think the style is interesting. It's clean, solid, feels inspired. Maybe not the way I would've dreamed up a new Vandal Hearts, but far from terrible.

The art is a little meh, it looks like some Cartoon Network show or something. I loved the first game, might pick this up.
or bust.
I loved the original Vandal Hearts, finished it twice (never became a Vandalier the first time through). It still handles character position better than any other srpg I can think of.
This looks like an incredibly shitty remake of that awesome game. I don't get why they let it get out of concept.
