My friend has his GC chipped and downloads his games from the newsgroups, he msg'd me saying that there was a Pal version of Killer 7 posted on there. Obviously we thought it would be fake, because A: the japanese one is even out yet and B: a hell of alot of fakes get posted.
So i went down last night and he tell me its NOT fake and IT IS Pal.
It boots up with language selection (english, french or german) and then asks for 50/60.
DEFINATELY PAL!
Ok the game. Well this is NOTHING like i thought it was gonna be like, the setting, the graphical style we all know about, and i knew it was gonna be weird.
But FUCK ME its weird as hell! weirder than i could have even imagined, but its not just the graphics, the characters or even the voices ( scary as fuck ) its the controls.
Heres the setup:
A Button makes you Run - this is the only button that makes you move.
B Button makes you turn around, you can only run backwards or forwards thats it.
R Button puts you into first person this is where all combat takes place, A button is then used to Fire.
L Button - Scans when in FPS mode to find Enemies.
Analogue Stick - ONLY used for looking around in FPS and selecting which way to go.
C - Stick - Reload.
X Button - Map
Y Button - Special Shot
So i was expecting typical 3rd person controls, with a nice camera, something like Resi Evil 4. I got a game with minimum controls and something that kinda played like a old FMV 3DO game.....
Holding down the A button to move is just so weird, you can't move anywhere else your completely on rails, the camera swings from above your chracter to below looking up, and the only way you know enemies are there is becaus eyou hear them laughing. When you hear them laugh you switch straight into FPS mode and have to scan quick to make them appear...
I'm still interested in it and i will pick it up, but from a game i was VERY excited about its gone to game i am totally confused about.
Did you all know it played like this?
