As hypnotic as Naomi’s fresh pair of implants may be, that video isn’t what this post is about. For the realNo More Heroes 2launch trailer, you’ll have to hit the jump (due to NSFW language).
Now, I know it’s an apples-vs.-oranges scenario to compareMass Effect 2toNo More Heroes 2, but I couldn’t help but do it. Both titles are coming out on the same day, and I see it as a battle of philosophies on game design.Mass Effect 2represents one direction that gaming has been heading over the past few years: one of inflated production values, space-marines-in-the-uncanny-valley scenarios, and wanna-be Hollywood storytelling.No More Heroes 2represents everything else games can be: art direction over expensive graphics, risk taking over cliché-hugging, and embracing of videogames as a medium instead of trying to turn them into something “cooler” like a made-for-SyFy-channel original movie.
Not that there is anything wrong with the SyFy channel.Mansquito4 Lyfe.
Hit the jump for the full trailer, and as usual, I’ve grabbed a few screens for you as well.
