New Killer 7 Details

[BreakABone]

Probably one of the better games of the Capcom 5 (IMO), Killer 7 hasn't really been talked about much since it had been well on the backburner to PN 03, VJ and even RE 4. Gamespot has gotten new details on the characters and story as well as some new screens.

Additional details on Capcom's Killer 7 for the GameCube have been revealed in the latest release of Famitsu magazine. Killer 7 will contain five storylines that span through four different worlds in two time periods, the present day and the year 2005. The world of 2005 will change depending on what the main character does in the present-day period.

Now that sounds weird, I mean 2005 isn't too far off especially for a game that is expected in 2004...

[quote]The main character in Killer 7 is a 65-year-old man named Herman Smith. While Herman can barely walk on his own feet, he is feared as the most dangerous killer in the world. Herman has seven personalities obtained over the course of many years working for the government. Each personality has a unique name, look, and specialty, as listed below: [quote]
Now I may be mistaken, but I wouldn't really fear someone who couldn't chase me down....

Garcian Smith - A man killed by Herman. Garcian has clairvoyant powers and is trusted by Herman to manage the rest of his personalities.

Not only does he have 7 personalities, but he can talk to dead folks. This is a pyschologist's dream come true.

Dan Smith - A man with telekinetic powers that let him change a bullet's trajectory with a thought. He killed Herman four years ago.

So the man is also dead....

Masked Smith - A retired wrestler who can use fire to become invincible.

Coyote Smith - Masked Smith's son. He has the power to teleport through objects.

Con Smith - A child with superior natural senses. Herman uses him to deliver false feelings of compassion.

Kaede Smith - A woman with the ability to make showers of deadly blood appear and who loves Coyote and Dan.

Kevin Smith - A new and mysterious Smith who has been given special orders by Herman.

Herman's objective in the game is to pursue Kun Lan, an old friend and neighbor who also happens to be the game's villain. Kun Lan is the criminal mastermind of an organization that can turn people into vicious monsters. Some refer to Kun Lan as God Hands.

Killer 7 is scheduled for release later this year and is currently 30 percent complete.

Thought it was slated for 2004

I've been keeping my eye on this for a long time. This/Viewful Joe and PN03.

I just hope Capcom won't disappoint me like they usually do with games like DMC/Onimusha/Maximo etc.

Only 30% done, and expected to ship in the next 4-5 months? It's just not possible.

[GameKinG]

Sure it is.

Killer 7 looks like it can be the only sleeper hit in the Capcom 5 and it looks great. It seems to have a good story surrounded by mystery, its very mature, bloody and i like the cel shaded look. Vj also seems like it will shine but Pn03 wasnt so good. I tried it in Toys r us and wasnt impressed /intrested. Dead phoenix seems...Dead and RE4....well nuff said. Sequel to the best horror franchise ever.

It does look pretty neat. I'll be looking into this one for sure.
