As you’ve probably all heard by now, Heroes by Suda 51 for the Wii has been re-titled No More Heroes. The game puts you in the role of Travis Touchdown, an ordinary guy who wins a “Beam Katana” (Suda’s words, not mine) in an online auction, and goes on to be ranked #11 by an organization called the UAA, which governs mercenaries. The game will apparently be open-ended to some extent, giving you the option of roaming about in a city known as Santa Destroy, as you try to hunt down the top ten UAA assassins and get to the #1 position.
That’s not what I’m making this post for, though. You can access all this and more info via that link to 1UP above. What I am interested in, is seeing how many of you approve of the new graphical style of the game, as opposed to the one seen in the trailer that was released a few months back.
Hit the jump for screenshots of the old and new styles so you can compare.
Helter Skelter, old style.
Travis Touchdown, new style.
Sylvia Christel, old style.
A fight scene, new style.
Travis, old style.
Travis on a bike-type … thingy. New style.
Personally, I was pretty attached to the old style. Killer 7 was an awesome game, and Heroes looked very similar. From the minute I watched the trailer, I was in love with the game design. This new style just doesn’t seem to appeal to me for some reason. What do you guys think?
