Malicious gameplay video looks vicious

by Andrew Yoon on Aug 30th 2010 3:40PM

Coming to Japan later this year is Malicious, a PSN exclusive that's composed entirely of boss battles! It's as if developer Alvion looked at the usual "platforming" and "puzzle solving" nonsense and just cut it. Considering this debut trailer, we don't think the studio made the wrong decision.

This looks like it could be amazing. Hopefully Sony doesn't take their sweet time as they usually do with bringing Japanese PSN games to the rest of the world.

@Haelie

Yeah, we like our 3D beat-em-ups out here in the West, too! Looks like a Fall 2010 release for Japan...hopefully a US version by early 2011? Pretty please, Sony?

Hmmm ... after careful review of all PSN games, it seems I am mistaken. Sony doesn't take that long with releases, it just seems that way because I've been waiting FOREVER for Dark Mist!

Also, @ Irem, Spelunker HD please!

@Haelie It doesn't look like it's being developed let alone being published by Sony so your complaint is with the wrong people.

DAMN! I wish they made scarves that did that stuff in real life. Summer or winter, rain or shine, you can bet your ass I will rocking hat sh*t all year long!!! Localize please!!!

Is it just me or did it look like a game combination of kingdom hearts, Final Fantasy, pokemon, and harry potter all combined?

Looks kinda like Zone of Enders meets Kingdom Hearts.

What?
This game consists entirely of bosses?
Sounds like there won't be a boss rush mode this game.

I hope we can expect an english localization on this game.

wow! looks pretty cool

@Mr Esc is the namesarcasm is my

They've been doing that will all their videos lately, it usually is just a link to the "rest" of the article, where the video actually is. Seems silly to do that on a "mini article", though, we don't even get to see the watermarked image...

This game looks gnarly. I'm way down.

reminds me of that one game you guys were showing the 3-4 part trailer for a few months back where you were the guy that looked really girly (jrpg inspired definitely) and you were fighting weird monsters. i SREIOUSLY cant remember the name of it. seemed like it had to do with God and Angels or something...idk..anyways the art style of this game reminds me of that game :p

@mu93n
The game is called El Shaddai, and I'm looking forward to it.
And it's NOT girly...

@PiccoroDaimaoh
noooo. i said the CHARACTER looked girly not the game. learn to read. anyways the game looked epic and very freaking bright. im looking forward to it. thanks for the name btw that was going to bother me all day.

Holy Sh*t my PS3 needs this in the WORST way. I really dont feel like trying to bootleg to get JP downloads. Please localize?

@Spookimitsu

Can't you just log in to a fake Japanese account and download it when it comes out? That's what I did for the Bayonetta demo...

so all those little enemies were bosses?

@Uncontrol

I was going to mention that as well. I'm sure they're just fodder for the bosses which makes this less of a unique boss-battles-only concept (Though not original since Shadow of the Colossus turned that concept into awesome-ness.) and more of a button-bashing beat-'em-up. Right?

Still looks like something fun as long as the nice graphics aren't coupled with a $15-$20 price-tag. It looks good but I'd only consider this at a $9.99 price-point. Puzzles and exploration can be called boring but they're also unique gaming elements and with Japanese games they allow the opportunity to show off pretty things. This looks too simple with a fairly similar area shown for the whole trailer.

@Uncontrol

yea... they seemed kind of.... flacid. I guess my imagine is all stretched out from the usual line up of HUGE johns.. er, Bosses that I've been taking on lately.
