Well then wait for them to announce Lolipop Chainsaw (?) to be announced in the states if it is going to be here. As for me,this looks interesting and the first time I've seen time manipulation in a game like this.therandombear said:Doesn't look weird enough for being Grashopper Manufacture
I do hope they release the Lolipop Chainsaw game here in Europe...looks like No More Heroes had a baby with Chainsaw MassacreAlphakirby said:Well then wait for them to announce Lolipop Chainsaw (?) to be announced in the states if it is going to be here.

Sorta like the 400 types of metal that no-one besides fans care about?the antithesis said:
Dunno why we need to create a new genre every time something slightly different comes out, what's wrong with just describing what it is? (as someone else described) 1940's tech in the future.
What I meant with that is that every "punk" genre has both a tech side and a distinct 'vibe'. Cyberpunk's vibe is indeed just that, and it's tech lies indeed in computerisation and all that.MatsVS said:
it's not made up. the small family of -punk genres are well set and around for a decent long time in fiction,tabletop and p&p-rpg.Braedan said:
Just because diesel is a more obscure to mainstream, like steampunk was until recently and so you may not have heard about it, it doesnt mean it is made up new. There have been dieselpunked (graphic) novels and games since the 1960's
The list is rather limited though, even if it would be possible to "invent" new -punks easily. Just take one kind of technology and ask yourself the good ol "what if " question, what if most of innovation and society was based solely on a sophisticated version of this single tech.
Looks just like the original, with admittedly better looking cutscenes. But then there is three years between the two. I have heard that the xbox game is less linear but with less customisation than the original, also unlimited ammo for cannons, missile ammo drops, and a special bar for aerobatics?(you can do barrel rolls and immelmans in Crimson Skies if you have the right airframe). Of course I have also heard the biggest differences are in the attitude, Crimson Skies is light, camp and pulpy like a thirties serial, High Road to Revenge is apparently darker and grittier, *sigh*.cthulhumythos said:
