I won't judge as I haven't played it, but I strongly suspect the developers were on some pretty hard drugs. Ivan summary of this game's qualities?

Those starting menus are like an 80's vision of the future

Welcome to games with Suda51 involved.

Shame you'll only ever hear the first 10 seconds of this.

Killer 7 is a hodgepodge of ideas: literally on-rail movement with branching paths leading to different rooms, some puzzle solving requiring the use of one of 7 character's abilities, a damn enticing storyline, great music, it's a beautiful mess. The less you know about the better, IMO.

 

[Latro]

Killer 7 is partially half-baked, there's a significant plot-line that couldn't make it into the game. Read "Hand in Killer 7" to see a full run-down on it.

I think Suda51 is the best writer in the industry right now, even better than MCA.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

Not a bad game.

Killer is desu was the only suda51's game i ever played. It's forgetable if not for the dating sim parts. And a character with a Nico Robin power.

No More Heroes 1, Killer 7, Silver Case series and Flower, Sun, and Rain are the one he's intimately involved with, the rest are "pulp" projects to fill out the company's portfolio.

but hey, everyone's gotta have a few duds

Is he? Killer 7 is his best story and it is not nearly as good as Planescape is. He is able to conjure top-notch art-direction, gameplay mechanics (sometimes) and characters, but his stories are just 'decent'.

Personally, I don't care much about plot.

Suda games excel at two things: Music and art style.Everything else is solid to mediocre compared to other games in the genre.
His writing ability is sketchy at best(his visual novels are just boring) to wacky(almost all suda games post visual novel/twilight series).

If this is going to be an emulator bundled with GCN or PS2 isos I'll join ISIS (again).

Took the words right out of my mouth, bro.

Like?

He has written far more memorable characters than Tarantino ever did, and he's an extremely competent scriptwriter. Silver Case impressed me with how it was able to convey the same sort of action and pacing as any of his action-y 3d games...be more specific.
What do you mean by wacky?

By wacky i mean compare the tone of something like the silver case and no more heroes,lollipop chainsaw and killer is dead.I mean i know they are different genres,but when was the last time he made anything resembling the tone of his older works.

 

[Starwars]

Killer 7 looks and sounds cool but that's about it. It's a pretty shit game otherwise, but it was good to score "I like edgy strange games" points back when it was released.

Third person camera pointed at the ceiling does not make me interested.

Is the Steam version better than just emulating the original? I've been thinking about doing another Killer7 playthrough, but I heard bad things about this port when it was released.

 

[Elttharion]

Looks like they used AI to upscale the game with the new patch, recent reviews are terrible but I am not sure if its because the result is bad or because people are chimping out due to the use of AI.

I've never seen good results.
