Before I start my impressions just in case you dont know GOD EATER is on the Japanese PSN, if you dont have make one as this title and plenty of others are worth it plus it only takes a few mins. The Trial was released on NOV 26 so its not it in the NEW section so that means your gonna have to find in the ZOO that is the Japanese PSN..fear not in the right hand upper corner is the search fuction ull notice that its still in japanese, press selesct change it too english type GOD EATER and your ready for DL.
Now on to impresssions... GOD EATER is lookin to be awesome:
The fisrt thing that inoticed about GE is that is feels very similiar to the NAMCO BANDAI's .HACK series specifically .HACK GU a dark toned setting with that twilight orange sky look andthe characters animations and weapons come straight from the series but the Art is done by PERSONA series artist.
When you start the game up it will ask you to name your character the give him a codename then prompt you to create your character... i was preetty disappointed in lack of choices in the demo espescially compared to PHANTASY STAR PORTABLE 2 hopefully in the full game there will be more options or at least let us get more customize options in the game.
finally the game starts with looks like the base of operations for the group after some running around to trying to find who to talk to...becuase its in Japanese..i finally did acter the scene i didnt watch( u can skip) it opened to tutorial missions.
CONTROLS:
HP = life
DP= im not sure but it drains on gun mode but restores on physical hits
ST = stamina every move you u make drains this..refills on its own if you let it run out u will be stunned
Square - light Attack keep pressing for combo
Traingle - Heavey attack keep pressing for combo
you should know this but Sqaure is weak but fast and trangle is slow but strong, you can combine both for different combo's
Circle - dash
X- jump
Right Trigger - hold to run
Analog - move character
Directional Pad - camera control
Left trigger - over the shoulder view for gun weapons
R + Circle - is your gaurd
R+ Square - is your Gun Mode
The game showed other things about items.. but once again its in japanese.. so i dont know but there is one ver specail command..
GOD EATER mode: This is probally the trademark of the game your weapon is alive i guess and HOLDING TRAINGLE will turn your weapon into some kind of demon thing that eats other demons. in the game enemies dont fade on death so can eat them after you kill them or when the enemy takes to much damage he gets stuned and ready to be put on the menue.
When you eat the enemy your characters gains additonal abilities the coulnd be more but from wat i saw:
you keep a charge double jump
R + Circle turns to a charge dash
your faster
your stronger
and 3 moves open up for u to use
now this mode thing is onll tempary.
NB was grateful and relized that some ppl might not want to go through totorials so u can skip down to the last option and get to your 1st fission where u can choose up to 3 partners. Overall the game has potential to big or eveb biigger than MH i have to sayi definitely did GE style more but hopefully NB doesnt fuck the potential up and keep it from western hands like CAPCOM did if they acn veat CAPCOM at popualizing this game in the west they will surely beat MH.
I didnt do the actual mission yet because i wan to play with some pple here..so im still waiting to see that
like all games this one supports ad hoc party so ppl with a PS3 and PSP get downloading and be eready to meet me on PSN!!!!
