I wasn't talking about that, but this. It can have a thousand different characters and moves, if you can't butcher enemies there is just no point for me.

I'm with you there, but I can't see any severed body parts on that picture in the OP. I guess we'll have to wait until thursday for the Guts gameplay trailer.
Please tell us again why? You did a wonderful job last time :/
You are joking with this right? Do you read shonen's? That is one of the last description I'd use for Berserk. Its turned into high fantasy and a bit of JRPG party story line but its hardly been Shonen quality material. This isn't One Piece or Naruto or Bleach... etc. you get me.
I wouldn't call it shonen but it has become a lot lighter in tone, and that's a good thing at least for now. Though i have a feeling that "soon" the series is going to take a dive into the depths again.
It has become lighter in tone *again*. The Golden Age Arc (as the name implies) wasn't really dark, it only went down at the end of the arc and stayed that way for a while but it's gotten lighter again. Honestly I don't know how the series would be if it stayed in the Black Swordsman arc style (especially the first three volumes), that would be a total different manga.

Said almost, and I'd agree you don't exactly get a Shonen vibe from it, but you can't deny that as the series has gone on, it's lost some of the more organic story structure that I fell in love with when first following the series.
Though I personally have not read/seen much of Berserk, I know its violence and gore (amongst other things) are well-known, and I don't think Omega Force will overlook that. After all, this isn't their first time doing an ultra-violent Musou game. We'll just have to see how far they're willing to push Japan's notorious CERO ratings board.

Probably means they're going for a CERO D.
And yet i still doubt anything will die in one hit.
I'd actually argue that its returning to the Golden Age structure where Guts isn't an absolute piece of shit and even seems fairly happy. He's got a well established team of bad asses and is actually got a whole retinue of people now that he has the ship and crew and who know's who he will pick up on the Elf Island or what is even gonna go down there. Though knowing what the Beast foreshadowed would happen when it takes control of him again we could be up for some real real ugly stuff.
Jim Sterling described the situation best I think. The less well known/popular the game is, the better the PC port seems to be, which is stupid.
Lol at the golden age arc again...This won't sell enough for them to make a second game. Sad I won't get to use my girl Farnese ever
Did you not see the Berserker armor in the photos? it's going past the golden age arc.
For playable characters I can see a list consisting of:
Guts
Griffith
Casca
Zodd
Skull Knight
Silat
Judea
Pippin
Maybe Corkus though he's a whiny bitch
Wyald if he is in the game since they don't seem to ever like to feature him... though I guess its for good reason hah
After that I'm not sure. I picked iconic characters and ones that would be interesting to play and would probably show up considering what story arcs this game seems to be covering. I suppose they could go crazy and do a lot of the smaller characters like Adon and Samson and the like just to pad out the character list.

The ending of the first Berserk anime series really repulsed me. Not liking seeing imagery from those final episodes on the flyer. Not trying to spoil anyone else's enjoyment, and I'm sure the game will be good since musou is a perfect fit, but I don't think I could play this.
They said there would be no dismemberment (at least not in the Japanese version, CERO D and all that), although they're hoping they'll manage to do something for non-human enemies.
EDIT: Based on the original interview (which was poorly translated by Play-Asia above... they weren't talking about "cut content", you guys!), it seems it should be be fine for monsters, really. Just not for humans.

Aww... Berserk really needs some flying grey matter and body parts. Still, it is great to see a new game coming.
Well its already a lame Berserk adaptation in one manner hah.
I guess we should expect a FotNS-like increase in blood and additions of dismemberment and gore for the west.

I hope theres multiple Guts you can play as.
The story will probably go further than that since one of the screenshots is Guts in Berserker Armor clashing with Grunbeld in human form. Whether this is a part of story mode or just like a special fast-forward scenario remains to be seen but it certainly gives the impression we may be seeing more than just the usual Golden Age stuff.
For characters I'd like to see:
Golden Age Guts
Black Swordsman Guts
Berserker Armor Guts (More than likely they'll split him up like this)
Golden Age Griffith
God Hand Griffith (Hopefully without an option to play a certain scenario)
Golden Age Casca
Judeau (Hell yeah)
Pippin (Heller yeah)
Corkus (Meh)
Rickert (Possibly Golden Age version but will probably not be in)
Puck (Might not be in because he's so small, but I think it'd be a blast)
Serpico (Hellest yeah)
Schierke (Might not be in for turning up later, but I hope she makes it)
Isidro (A different playstyle but might not be in)
Farnese (Rather have Serpico or Schierke but she's cool enough)
Zodd (Human form at least. They just have to)
Boscogn (Probably the best choice for a playable Golden Age villain that isn't Zodd)
Adon (Meh, probably just see Zodd and Boscogn)
Silat (Hopefully they don't cut him)
Skull Knight (He has to be in right?...right?)
Godo (Not likely)
Snake Baron
Count
Rosine
Mozgus
Grunbeld (If we get playable apostles other than Zodd for any of the above that is)
Any of the Godhand other than Griffith (Doubtful)
Characters I don't want to see:
Post-Eclipse Casca (This...this would just be in bad taste)
Bazuso (The guy Guts kills at the start of Golden Age)
Donovan (No...just no)
Gambino (Too much of an asshole)
Samson (Too much of a nobody)
Julius (Never even fights)
Gennon (FUCK this guy)
Wyald (His scenes get cut so much I'm really not holding my breath)
More than likely we'll just see mainly Golden Age stuff with some glimpses of further chapters...but a man can dream.

Damn I'm ready. Bring it over asap.
The last Koei port had arbitrary resolution support, which was a first for them. So let's hope they continue to improve.

Should I pull the trigger? I've never read manga/comics.

Pull it. Pull the trigger (with 3 included)!Should I pull the trigger? I've never read manga/comics.

Even if you buy one volume a month you'd need over 3 years just to catch up to the material that has currently been released. Within 3 years time hopefully we'd have 3 more volumes... ahem...

Dreamcast game was a side story. PS2 game was Millennium Falcom. We've never had a game cover Golden Age yet?

My favorite part of the story is definitely the later stuff with the Berserker armor, Schierke, Griffith's apostle band, etc. Disappointed this probably won't touch on them - Schierke and Serpico are my favorite characters, next to Guts! - but I'll hold out hope for a sequel.
EDIT: Sounds like Schierke is in!

Yeah. I'm not usually one to call things like this out, but with the combination of the promo poster, first trailer and stuff like this... this seems pretty tasteless.
Especially considering how Casca ends up after the events of the eclipse.

It sounds like this game is at least going to the point where Guts gets his Berserker armour then.

Is that this game?
They got the aesthetics down, but gameplay wise that game is absolutely nothing like Berserk. If you could play as a character that used both Artorias' and the Undead Legion's move set, then I'd say yes. But the game is slow as hell.

So will this be the first M-rated Musou game?
