Is anyone else here getting (somewhat) hyped about this game? The thought of what looks like a high quality and innovative fighting game being made by americans is almost sheer blasphemy in its own right but it looks like John Tobais' new group at Studio Gigante just might pull it off.
at least it can't be worse than Kakuto Chojin, right?

I just can't trust a fighting game with character names like 'Iron Monk' and 'Fiery Pheniox' or whatever. If they can't get the names right, how is the rest of the game going to be?
The trailer for it on the latest OXM looked really, really bad too. I'll wait to see what the reviews say.

So you would think, but a friend of mine who does testing for MS has been testing it for a while and in his words (not mine), it is "horrid, makes Kakuto Chojin look like Soul-freakin-Calibur". He says it's about as complex as MK:DA (in other words, not). From what I could gather, guaranteed tap tap combos are the normal gameplay.
Personally I'll wait until I can see it for myself but a second-hand account is the closest thing I have right now.

I just have low standards for US devevloped fighting games. IMO there hasn't been a good one yet, and not for lack of trying.

This game is bullshit
Believe me I saw it
It looks like some crap.
You can interact with the environment there's body damage and close destruction.
They had a good idea but the game is some serious shit.

I'm trying hard to not get depressed. As a beginning programmer I want to see a ray of hope that a US company can make a decent fighter or RPG but seems like it is not to be. It really get under my skin in the concept that if someone with the money/ability to do it can't pull it off, what chance would I have at doing better when I currently have neither...

By all accounts, MK:DA was a good fighting game. Look at the scores that major media sites gave it and play it yourself. It's not perfect, but I believe it to be a solid game.

Uh, saw it, maybe, but did you play it? If the gameplay's there it'd be worth a try, but I have my doubts, myself. You don't seem to cite any concrete examples of why you think it's so horrible.
I'm holding out on passing judgement until I play a demo or something. I'm not gonna get my hopes up, but I'm hoping it's not gonna be, um, War Gods or anything. Ick.

'Western' developers have made good RPGs, but they're typically all on the PC, and are of a different style than most console RPGs.

I don't really play PC games so I would more tha enjoy some examples.

It's that non-perfection that irks me. I think it is a great step in the right direction for a series that is often refered to as "krap" and only survived on gore but I want to see something that has tighter gameplay. I actually enjoy the store tests of Deadly Alliance but from those I know that there are some balance issues.
BTW, for some odd reason, Tao Feng's limb breaking makes me think of Fighting Vipers' armor breaks...
