New Madworld Shots Highlight Blood, Little Else

Related Topics – MadWorld, screenshots, Nintendo Wii

Publisher Sega has released three new screenshots of the over-the-top violence extravaganza Madworld (Wii), showcasing the game's stylized black, white, and bloody visuals.

Unveiled at a press briefing last week, Madworld comes from Platinum Games, formed by ex-Capcom vets responsible for Resident Evil, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand and Okami.

Though the extreme and graphical violence takes center stage in Madworld, designer Shigenori Nishikawa says the game is to be taken in a more comical light, and was designed with Western audiences in mind.

Madworld is due for release in early 2009.

I appreciate the effort in the visuals, but it looks stiff, 1995 animation(reboot?) and gimmicky gameplay.

This game needs some curve adjustment shader or something, the typical texture interpolation from black to white areas looks terrible.

I'm optimistic about this and the other games from Platinum Games (I immensely enjoyed their previous games at Capcom), but... as Hellgate: London recently taught me, games are still made by teams, not the headlined designer. Here's hoping for good stuff from Platinum.
