Looks pretty good...Actually I see on this game what I expected to find in Killer 7 and people here proved me it wasn't.

 

[sprsk]

i wish bandai didnt suck so much :/

 

[MrDaravon]

Was this the one that was originally supposed to come out last year in the states? I was looking forward to that and then it just dropped off the radar.

 

[Idioteque]

I'm a big Cowboy Bebop fan, but this game looks pretty shitty.

 

[duckroll]

Wasn't this supposed to be out like 2 years ago?

More like a year maybe, but yeah it's been delayed forever. Finally resurfaced and set for actual release. Here are the pros and cons of the game imo:

+ New Yoko Kanno tracks
+ New Kawamoto designs
+ It's Bebop action on the PS2

- It's a Bandai game
- No new Bones anime FMVs
- No shooting stages

 

[Boogie9IGN]

If I get that job at Target, Ill end up buying a PS2 and this

 

[Hydro_Alexis]

- It's a Banpresto (pub. by Bandai) game

fixed Bandai & CyberConnect2 for example is a different story

isn't bandai a part of namco now?

 

[ourumov]

It seems people never played the PSX game...because THAT really sucked balls. It can't be worse.

 

[Khalid-S]

the release date is 8/25

Erm, it is? Where does it say it's being developed by Banpresto? Hell where does it say that it's being developed by anyone? ^^;

 

[SolidSnakex]

It seems Gamespot is listing the developer as Banpresto on their site

Ahh.. interesting. Oh and offtopic, who the hell is that in your avatar. It's driving me nuts.

 

[Quadrophenic]

what happened to that Lupin game? Did it ever come out?

[SolidSnakex]

Does Banpresto give it a better chance of being good though? Their SRW are great, but they recently made that Lupin game..And well...

As for my avatar, its Asami Konno.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Yeah I'm pretty disapointed that this game will only be a beat em' up...All the 3D beat em' ups I have played lately haven't been the most memorable games I've played. But I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out anyhow.

 

[Azih]

What the hell is this? This game will suck.

 

[VerTiGo]

I think it looks pretty cool.

 

[truesayian]

Here are some new images of Bandai's Cowboy Bebop: Tsuitou no Yakyoku for PS2, the game is mission based, the missions will be divided into action, fighting and shooting.

sure it's not shooting

Yep.

 

[Zaptruder]

CB deserves better than this.

 

[typhonsentra]

Is Bandai the worst publisher in the industry or what?

 

[Bebpo]

No, they just a lot of anime licenses and the rule of thumb is that all anime based games have to be average or suck. Licensed games will sell no matter what the quality because they have a fan-base, so they get teams who can just pump out decent games quickly (well Bebop wasn't very quick, but still). Best thing to happen to anime games was when Namco's Ace Combat team took a shot at making a Gundam game....too bad it bombed in sales and that probably marked the end of "quality" anime games :\

 

[Hero]

Don't be hating the Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen games.

 

[Bebpo]

Don't be hating the Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen games.

You mean the extremely shallow party fighters

Fun games, but they get by on nice graphics and simple play mechanics. They aren't really up there in the 'gameplay' department ^^;

Banpresto and Bandai's 16 bit efforts were more than decent...They did really good games back then.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Looks better than it did a year or two ago. Looks more "Final Fight" than anything else...

 

[ToyMachine228]

The thing is, a beat em' up just doesn't do Cowboy Bebop justice. The series is so varied, with all 26 episodes being completely different from each other. And as far as we know, this is just going to be a straight forward beat em' up.

But quite honestly, I'm such a big Bebop fan, I'll probably buy it, just to support the franchise.

The original PSX game was a 3rd person flight sim / piece of crap, so this is a big improvement no matter how it ends up.
