Dar Klink said:Buuuut.... using Casca's rape scene to promote the game is really fucking dumb and tasteless. Seriously? Couldn't they have just shown Guts suiting up or a shot moving up the Dragon Slayer or literally anything else from the series?
Aazealh said:This exactly. What kind of absolute moron thought this would make for an appropriate trailer? That actually lowers my anticipation if anything. I hope the game itself isn't that tasteless.

Ken said:I really hope that Hirasawa Susumu is involved in making the soundtrack for the game, do you guys think there will be a good chance that he will or no?
Resonance said:Yeah, seems very bizarre that they would use that scene in particular. But at least we are given some sort of clue that this game will try and be faithful to the source material and not try to censor in mass amounts.

Sikorsky87 said:So, I'm going through the podcasts right now and I listened to episode 30 (2/10/2013) today. In it you guys bring up the idea of a Berserk Musou game and then this trailer drops today. Just thought that was interesting haha.
Walter said:Or, hell, why not: Gaiseric!
jackson_hurley said:What about Puck? We know he can be a warrior. Where's the love for him?!!
Walter said:I think that's totally possible. Puck vs Incubi, Bloody Needle Strike, etc. Boss battle would be the Albatross (seagull)!
On second thought this is too clever for a Musou game...
Aazealh said:I don't think this is any indication that they'll be faithful to the source material. As a reminder, the source material doesn't have slimy tentacles groping Casca, it has claws ripping her flesh and leaving bloody wounds all over her body.
You make it hard for me to refrain from making "slowish" jokes here... If you've never heard of Berserk, just based on the trailer, what would you think the game is about? That's what's wrong with it. It has no point. It takes the most sensitive scene of the entire manga and uses it purely gratuitously.
Mangetsu said:Full pic of that poster. It kinda reminds me of the visuals from the Pachinko games
some info from the magazines. I don't know Berserk so not sure with some of the terms
-The game takes place from golden age upto black swordsman
-Some scenes from 1997 anime and movie are used, as well as brand new stuff for the game. There will be a lot of scenes.
-the game is not directly tied with the newly airing Berserk anime. The game is made so even people who are not familiar with Berserk can enjoy
-There are huge boss battles, 1v1 against boss, fighting against small enemies and boss popping up during the battle
-lots of boss characters in the game, like zodd and bull/ox monster.
-Guts' fighting style changes as the story progresses in the manga, and the game will reflect that in the gameplay
-As with other Musou games, Guts is not the only playble character.
-the game's visual style will be similar to the poster
-The core target audience for the game is the fans of the original manga. But newcomers will also be able to enjoy the game.
-Japan and West have different restrictions for gore/erotic. Japan is more strict on gore stuff, while West is more strict on erotic stuff. So they want to get the balance right while staying true to the original.
-they will release a video featuring Guts soon.
