Thread 725192816

If Okami and Ninja Gaiden can get new sequels years after the IP was considered dormant, can God Hand as well?

>God Hand anything made by current era slop devs
Please god no.

it will but it wont be good

>>725192816 (OP)
DO NOT PROVOKE THE MONKEY PAW!

>>725192816 (OP)
Okami and Ninja Gaiden both had cult followings with smaller but dedicated fanbases that was maintained for like a decade between game entries.
The only people that care about God Hand are like maybe half a dozen people on /v/.

This was a cool game and I was enjoying it until my PS3 had a hard drive crash. It was one of the games I got from the PS store before it went down forever for PS3. Fuck exclusive titles and video game systems. If I had that for PC I could have just accessed it from a new system.

Friendly reminder that the old PC port with MadMidgetFix is the single best way to experience the game.
>b-but muh transparencies!
Fuck emulationfags.

God Hand sold extremely bad on release, it is a cult classic only for a small group of people, Capcom isn't seeing potential in appeasing to new "fans" who watched youtube videos and were convinced God Hand is truly amazing.

>>725192816 (OP)
God hand printed a grand total of 60k copies.
Capcom execs despise anything to do with Clover
The lead designer is a retired farmer, the director works for Tencent, and the number of people in the world that actually know exactly how the game works can be counted on one hand.

Mikami and Suda mused about buying the rights to God Hand and in response Capcom shoved out a crappy emote and midi in SF6 so they could ask an impossible price and pretend they still used the IP

I think dead IPs should stay dead and never come back.

>>725193547
the what now

God Hand was Shinji Mikami's baby. He's retired now.
Nobody else cares about it.

>>725192816 (OP)
New Final Fight instead

Capcom would never
They'll also never sell the rights
Even if they did either I have zero confidence anyone at Capcom could properly rebuild it

>>725193891
Can't fault Mikami for giving up on vidya after he spent years building up tango gameworks only for Microsoft to sabotage hi-fi rush then butcher the studio despite critical acclaim

>>725196079
He didn't give up, Tencent gave him another new studio to build
Why do you think Capcom re-hired Kamiya?

>>725192816 (OP)
not only it will never happen, even if it happens, it's going to be dogshit
the best we can get is a remaster, because a remake would ruin the gameplay
and even if we got a remaster, it would probably censor scenes like the one you posted, because the recent onimusha 2 remaster censored a similar scene

>>725195592
this
if you watched the interview the silent hill guy did with him, you'd see mikami talking about it and saying it's basically this
and even he admits it wasn't that good of an idea because of the sales

Rape.

>tank controls
>reddit quirk chungus dialog
>100 "different" moves that all feel the same
so when does this game actually get fun?

>>725197176
You're supposed to pretend to like it, not actually play it.

>>725192816 (OP)
>that hyperdetailed foot model

>>725196372
I think it was a pretty great idea that had everything against it
From the low inventory to the fucking IGN review

>>725197176
>tank controls
get good
>reddit quirk chungus dialog
beating the shit out of gays and midgets is the opposite of reddit
>100 "different" moves that all feel the same
and then another 50 that are all different? that's still more than most shit today

>>725198819
I agree, it's honestly kind of sad to see mikami talking about God Hand and being ashamed of it just because it didn't sell that well

this is the interview I was talking about, it wasn't the one with bokeh game studio
from the beginning all the way to 6:59 he talks about the game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_37pVVpzg98

>>725192816 (OP)
you want to make a trifecta of remakes for games that sell like shit?

If Kamiya feels like letting his new Clovers Studio gnaw on it, sure, why not. Ideally with him nowhere close to it, considering the original God Hand didn't have Kamiya as a staffer, that was Mikami's brain-child

The video is not clickbait and points out everything that modern Capcom tries to run away from: God Hand is the antithesis of everything Capcom has been striving for and tried to run away from in the past decade, a vulgar and offensive stain on the entire studio. If you're still living in denial and do not understand what the video is trying to say, then go look at the 2020 ransomware leaks. A game like God Hand cannot and will not be made ever again due to modern's sensitivities.

>smaller but dedicated fanbases that was maintained for like a decade between game entries
NG I guess, we got the rereleases and 2D games.
Okami??

>>725193751
>God Hand sold extremely bad on release
because it was a late PS2 release in a niche genre with a deliberately offputting difficulty that received zero budget because capcom was in the middle of closing the devs down because viewtiful joe didn't become the next megaman
> it is a cult classic only for a small group of people ... Capcom isn't seeing potential in appeasing to new "fans" who watched youtube videos
it averages a 7/8 out of 10 from reviews back when it came out, the 3/10 IGN review is so infamous because it was literally the only review anywhere near that negative and despite this score massively tanking the average it sits at a 73 on IGN, which is frankly incredible for a game that was given every reason to fail by its own publisher, there's a reason why they almost put the guy into marvel vs capcom 3 and 100% would've if capcom didn't pull that games development because a fucking tsunami hit the entire country right in the middle of its post release dev period

>>725202250
*and despite this score massively tanking the average it sits at a 73 on metacritic

>>725201679
Okami is often praised whenever discussion over Cube/PS2/Xbox era is happening. It also got a bunch of modern ports in all the following gens to keep it somewhat in public conscious.
God Hand has nothing like that.

>>725204067
The same thing happens with god hand, albeit to a slightly lesser degree

>>725202370
>>725202250
Even with good marketing it simply isn't a mass market game. It only appeals to the kind of person that really loves digging into combat systems or falls in love with the ultra specific humor

>>725206345
>>725204067
More importantly Okami sold amazingly (after Clover shut down) and was a critical darling.

>>725192816 (OP)
Not without strings attached

>>725192816 (OP)
god hand is cool for like 3 levels until you realize most enemies are damage sponges and it’s always hit hit hit, guard block, jungle, barrel kick, repeat
It’s shit

>>725193547
God Hand never had a PC port you fucking retard

>Retard so ass he thinks barrel roll kick isn't a trap
>Never bothered to look at the controls and context moves
>Spent the whole game doing zero damage with a 4 second long kick every time he had an opportunity for damage
Jesus fucking filtered

>>725192816 (OP)
Would be cool to get a version of it that ran natively on PC and modern consoles. There's a huge chance a sequel would suck because they would try to make it for the modern audience.

thanks anon, I'll check it out

What a chad. I feel like he's not "genuinely" guilty for "wasting" company money on making something he loves. Of course it wasn't going to sell well back in those days, which is criminal. He says he knew it wasn't gonna sell but I think that it still hurts when you make something that's a crystallization of your taste that ends up being a flop. A game of that quality today would absolutely be a hit.
