    Now that Sony isn’t publishing, do we expect this to be available on PC much sooner than the original?

      Stand Alone Complex on PS2 was pretty good for the time, IMO. Its hard to properly mix third person shooting with martial combat in a way that makes them.both feel important, and I think SAC did it decently well, even surpassing Oni in some ways. Oni does better I think with the camera and martial combat but weapons feel really strange to use in Oni.

    Either there’s a major timeskip, because where the fuck did this cyberpunk metropolis come from given the original post-apocalyptic setting, or this is a prequel kicking off the apocalypse.

      BLOOD RAIN will continue the story beyond the events of the first game and introduce a new protagonist, Evie.

        That doesn’t necessarily mean a sequel though. I mean, yes, this trailer could actually be taking place in the Colony, but aesthetics don’t really match Eidos 7 and the spaceships that we see in the game.

      someone feel free to correct me, but isnt the whole setting like…waifu 40k? the bodysuit squads are some sort of expeditionary force for a larger interplanetary empire i though?

      presumably this game is set on another planet

      didnt play the orginal, just going off of trailers

        spoiler

        At the beginning of the game, you’re told that Earth was overrun by monsters, and your character is part of a task force intended to take the planet back. Partway the game, it’s revealed that in the past, there was a machine rebellion that got interrupted by the monsters appearing. The end of the game reveals that all the humans in the game (including your character) are actually robots, because after the machines wiped out the original humans the survivors turned themselves into monsters for revenge.

    I wasn’t expecting a change of protagonist, but her combat seems interesting. I’ll be interested to learn more.

    It looks good but I truly hope they stepped up the story and environment. I played the first game and quit within 1,5 hour.

    Was tired of the forced sexualization, boring enemies and didn’t like the combat much.

    I hope the combat and movement improve over the original. Everything felt slow and rigid.

    Also, writing was very low tier but that comes a distant second to the combat and movement.

    I’m fine with sexy games but this is a kid. And don’t bs me with robot/1000 year old dragon/asians look young sometimes crap.

    This game is a litmus test. Keep an eye out for people who play it.

      Yeah, you’re getting downvoted by creeps on Lemmy but this is creepy as fuck. It looks like a child’s face was attached to a woman’s body. First game was a pretty overt in its sexuality but this is… something else.

    the environment art is looking good, the main character is looking very suspect though. i know with the first game they scanned an actual korean model for their main character and advertised her as such (wow look at how sexy she is - and the woke mob can’t even say we’re sexualizing her because that’s a real sexy model we put in a bodysuit and scanned in!) but then it turned out they still edited her 3d model to make her even sexier. then there’s the weird controversy about outfits it had, and just the general nastiness of the game and audience. who knows what the second game will be like.

    Must… flash… ass… and… crotch… ALWAYS

    Seriously, isn’t it time to agree that this is a little gross?
