Releasing extremely soon, so I thought we needed a thread for it. I never played the original Shadow Warrior (need to do that sometime soon). Anyways, what’re you guys thinking about this?

I’m interested, but also have a massive backlog of games to play already (including the original Shadow Warrior).

(The original game is available for free on Steam as Shadow Warrior Classic (1997))

The combat in this remake looks brilliant.

I can’t wait to slice and dice with the katana

Seems fun by the trailer, but I am always skeptical about a game until see a long gameplay.

The old Shadow Warrior is a trully classic though.

Conti! LTNS!

Old, but quite a bit of gameplay

I’m interested in any game that has slicing with a blade being more than just a couple canned animations, and it looks like this game has something like that. Apparently they took all (or most of) the humor out of this new game that the older game had though.

The character is still kind of racist though which was a big part of the original humor

Lo wang, eating shark fin soup with the cream of sum young guy

It’s a different kind of humor. It’s less in your face and more subtle. Then again, we’ve had major strides in videogame comedy since the 90s. Major strides. They’d be fools to ignore that kind of progress.

Yeah! :slight_smile: Sorry for the loooong disappearance.

I was building my new home and now I’m on the late stages of furnishing. Man, it was a lot of work!! I didn’t know it was so time consuming. Soon I’ll be moving, finally!

Now I’m more free to stay here and see the movement. /OFFTOPIC

Thx for the video.

Chalenging. I like that. The only thing I didn’t like so much was that strange healing system and the low power of guns.

I’m old school: The idea of magic to self-heal is cool, but I prefer find some health packs scathered around. As for the katana… It is fun to cut heads off, but my thing is more with fire weapons than melee combat in FPS. Rely only on the katana for most part of the game could be boring (well, in IMHO. I am a suspect because I don’t like much the Dishonored combat system). Let’s see how it works when it is released.

Agree. Since Duke Nukem Forever proved that 90’s humor wasn’t working anymore today (the old Shadow Warrior had the same humor of old Duke Nukem… And people backlashed a lot the replication of that kind of humor in DNF), would be dumb to reply the same idea of humor in this Shadow Warrior.

DNF didn’t have the same style of humor as DN3D, or so the fans said. It just got plain damn creepy at times.

DNF’s humor was just poorly done in general. It didn’t help that a lot of the jokes were either bad or would have been okay if it came out years before (not really 90s humor, just out of date stuff)

There are medpacks, that’s why the magic only goes to 65 health

Also the weaker guns get more powerful as you upgrade them

heh, did you watch the whole video?

Only some parts. Too lazy, I know. haha. :stuck_out_tongue:

But I watched the part of weapon customization.

Here’s a long-ass video with adam sessler

I really can’t wait for this game

I have played the original Shadow Warrior game which is really interesting and great game. I am amused to hear the news of releasing new game and watch the video which is relatively interesting.

Beat this game and currently playing through again in “ex mode” on insane difficulty. It’s really good.

That is a very bot-like answer.

I really wanna play this but I’ve heard that it’s horribly optimised.
