His name is Garcia Hotspur, hunter of demons, and his wrath will bring hell to its knees.

Shadows of the Damned combines visceral grindhouse-style action with dark, grotesque horror to create a mind-shattering adventure that has to been seen to be believed. When evil demonic creatures kidnap Garcia’s girlfriend, it’s up to him to travel to the City of the Damned to get her back. Aided by a former demon with the ability to transform into an array of vicious weapons, Garcia will once again take on the mantel of “demon hunter” and rip apart the horrifying forces of the underworld to protect what he loves most.

Combining the punk rock style of Suda 51 with the legendary horror design of Shinji Mikami, Shadows of the Damned will take gamers on an in-your-face thrill ride through demon-torn towns, shadow infested forests, grimy sewers and more. Featuring the most twisted boss battles ever seen, warped visuals and intense visceral combat, Shadows of the Damned will challenge gamers to break through the ultimate head-trip to help Garcia rescue his tortured girlfriend from the clutches of a mysterious enemy. Brace yourself for one hell of a trip to the city of the damned.

Re: The Official 'Shadows of the Damned' Thread [X360] [PS3]

Dude AWESOME TRAILER! But the GFX could be WAY better, and it kinda seemed like a more funny version of Resident evil.

BTW Ethan, why no love for the PC in the title... its also coming out on the PC !
 
Re: The Official 'Shadows of the Damned' Thread [X360] [PS3]

It WAS supposed to release on PC as well, but went console exclusive. At least that's what the last update was for the game. I think the graphics is supposed to set that grind-house mood, remember those Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez flicks? :P

As it is coming in June it wouldn't really matter to me (as by that time i'll definitely have a console), but a PC version is always better :(
