Suda51 is bringing you another one of his crazy visions again this time it’s Killer Is Dead and judging by the trailer this is going to be one blood soaked, noir thriller with a unique art style and future Gothic feeling that could only be brought to life by Grasshopper Manufacture. Yes I get that those are all industry buzz words that sound like bullet points but go on and look at the trailer below and tell me it’s not all of those things. You’ll even be able to play the game with either original Japanese audio or switch to the localized English audio. Me, I prefer the over-acted, tongue in cheek B-movie feeling English audio. All it needs is a Fresnel Lens flickering black and and white distorted video filter and it would feel like I’m watching an oh so bad it’s good movie at 2am, make it happen GM! I can’t wait to take control of protagonist Modo Zappa with his artificial weaponized left arm and always trusty samurai sword in his right hand I know I’m going to have a evil grin from ear to ear when this drops Summer 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. So what are you waiting for, watch the trailer already!
