Killer 7 E3 2003 Trailer

[TheUrbanAdventurer]

sorry... what?

[superduperfudge]

theres no way to get a copy of the beta?

[mrdude311]

that specific scene with dan and the first heaven smile seems like it has gone through alot of changes

[nejinaji]

its cool seeing the way it used to be. easily one of the greatest games ever made

[minion119]

KUN lun vs Travis touchdown?

[NOACCEPTANCE772]

I wish this killer7 came out because i love this game more than any on earth!

[TeinCave]

Was the music in this trailer ever featured in the final game or its soundtrack? I don't recall hearing them at all.

[deg2684]

a great game now classic

[mihai96z3d]

in this trailer for a 2003 game looks good and it says that it was an early stage....

[liberate29]

Being the huge Killer7 fan that I proudly am, I still wonder if the game could have been better if they kept some of the "beta" elements that were cut-off

[kittenspite]

I LOVE this game. Not loved. I actively LOVE this game. An experience in the strange.

[KiNGSHiNiGaMi777]

My favoritest game in the whole wide world :)

[wondernerd2]

i notice that this is a major visual difference

[RyoHazuki002]

The heaven smile @ 27 is different! Man I loved this game! The heaven smile laugh is freaking crazy! I loved it!

[TranceZ7]

Damnation.

I wish I'd been able to play through the scenes in here that weren't included in the final version. >_> The things that were the most badass in this game were cut, seriously.

[UniqueOneShot]

Oh men, this is my favorite game in all history. Really, when i got it from a friend like for two weeks i fully ended it on 4 days. I think the complex history of it blowed my mind away. It's style, it's blood, everything. It should exist a similar game, with complex history and wierd characters. I think they should exist more freakish games like this one, i just love the freakish games :D:D:D:D:D!

[DWTX]

I'm Sorry, I wanted to give you a thumb up not down-.-^^

[plumeria4487]

The reason why it got such bad opinions is because of the different way it controls. "Rails" are hated because they give less sense of explore. But the rail system in this game worked perfectly because it's different style. The story is confusing but great that gives it it's own purpose. This game is very unique, and that no other game came be compared to this.

[Dovieandi23]

See, the rails contribute to the meaning of the game; that you actually aren't in control of your life, that you're just a pawn in a grand chess game. In my play-throughs I never once found myself thinking "Man, I wish I could go over there, damn this rails system!"

[Instig8iveJournalism]

@Dovieandi23 Not really. But certainly, they can be seen as a comment on the way other games work. In a lot of adventure games, you can only go on a certain path, and everything else is covered up with invisible walls. Killer7 criticizes and avoids the invisible walls syndrome by taking away the illusion of free movement.

[EvilUser]

@Dovieandi23 This comment's pretty old but I figured I'd reply. All the references to chess seemed to me to be a metaphor for inner being. Emir was delusional. Harman and Kun were the light and dark sides of his personality. Kun won the last game of chess, thus Emir's appearance at the end of the game. Heaven Smile could also be a form of denial, and once all were eradicated, Emir learned the truth about himself. However, with others like Matsuoka, the same kind of struggle would go on

[Momentum139]

@EvilUser please consider a career in video game design.

[EvilUser]

@Momentum139 lol thanks. I would love to but don't really see getting anywhere any time soon at least. I could at least try as a hobby with Game Maker, but it seems like you'd have much more freedom with whatever big companies use to develop their games.

[Momentum139]

@EvilUser which really sucks, because we see a trend of generic FPSes and "overtly Japanese" games out. If somebody with the ability to tell an intricate storyline that makes the player think about the game they just played could step in, we'd have a lot more of these interesting games. But that's the market I suppose, if I were a more dedicated person, I'd love to change that - grab Hideo Kojima, Suda51, and Shinji Mikami - lock them in a room together with pen & paper, and see what happens.

[ressymezzo]

no matter what, this game is going to out live anything else.

just amazing

[crshi23]

just too bad this game's not as well known as it could be

[IWantToLiftBig]

It's a great game but it's not a game that would appeal to a wider audience.

[crshi23]

Yeah I know, I'll remember this game forever.

[branmaniaaol]

what i want to know is why none of those funky crosshairs made it to the final game :S

[meusapi]

THE BEST GAME EVER!!!

[catmanclark]

game looks sick crazy and awsome is this a must buy?

[theredlion92]

u gott get it. 1 of my all time favs. nly thing i was bit confused about was the storyline...but at the end..most of it makes sense...must buy!

[catmanclark]

i'll do that then

[Raidou14th]

Loved it 2 years ago and still love it

[ultimatebot1603]

you either love this game, or you hate it.

I loved it.

[djfakt]

LOVED it!!!!!

[Tapetenmetzger]

Loved it. Still love it.

[ResidentXyanide]

Killer 7 Kick's ass punks n u know it. The psycho atmosphere is awsome.

[kidanimation]

its like a cheap online free game

[Brock2097]

Hey man, I suggest you rent it before dismissing it like that. Don't judge a book by its cover and all that.

[Coyotetraceur]

Hmmm Nope. I haven't seen any Free Online games with a FPS capability.

Guess u just don't like it either.

[kidanimation]

I HAVE SO FUK U

[djfakt]

Ignoramus...

[arklight]

What's the name of that song in the very beginning? I can't seem to find it on my OST...

[TellMeMore101]

that game looks like it sucks so bad like extremely i mean u have to shoot and u cant even walk

[dizzydrive911]

that's what you think. Maybe you just don't like the style, but it's just really awesome in MO.

[Coyotetraceur]

Hmmm.

You just don't like it, it doesn't suck.

There is a vast diference.

[itachi705]

You can't shoot and walk at the same time in Resident Evil 4 either.

[Gerogoth]

I love the blind kid, he's my favorite!

[killer666joe]

this game is n sum weird way freaky as hell lol

[solstrom92]

alright, i just got this game. Itys highly adictive, and its also veeery fun. But cmon, its not like there are amny games like it, And even for a GC game, ITS FREKAING AWEDSOME. and you just cant wquealify the graphics, i mean, they are unique.

[hydroneoxis]

Yeah you can, its called Cel-Shaded Graphics, there are loads of games with them,

To name a few good ones:

Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast)

Wind Waker (GC)

No More Heroes (Wii)

[solstrom92]

Well duh i know that. but the way they were in the moment was different to any other cel shaded. You really would compare the caricaturesque TLOZ:WW to this murderous mayhem?

[Viewindo]

Team Fortress 2 (PC)

I have come to the assumption that the person you are replying to claimed that the graphics were bad..? (Or something along those lines)

[fang69]

looks really shit, no affence but it true

[Curioscave]

This game is the best game in existence. there is no better game. none.

[hydroneoxis]

*Cough* Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time *Cough*

[Curioscave]

nope. KILLER7 beats all. killer7 ftw!

[validfor1hour]

yes get anything you want from killer seven if its the game , books , soundtrack from play-asia dot com ,

[druha10304]

@ 01:04 , i wanted to be able to do that to people in that game. blowing up innocents heads off.

[Pauldnis2006]

Wonderfull game!

[Asradi]

man, does anyone know where i can get my hands on a copy of killer7 beta, like the original version. or the novel, or actin figures,or comics? ANYTHING???

[zeik8]

i got the original, old version of killer 7, tried the final, yea ur right not as good... thnx for uploadin this

[TheWinterWolf]

That's the only problem with Killer 7: after playing through a level you're like "WTF happened?"

[CaelumRevert]

Such a perfect game. It could have probably been just as good with this initial version.

[shadow838290]

Damn I would love to have played the early verion of Killer7.

[sweetbrother]

This was the strangest game i had ever played.

[ethanhammy12]

i love killer 7

[kameoolong]

This trailer had footage that looked better than that in the game. This game is so creepy.. But I love it. Sometimes I think I see the heaven smiles in a dark room.. even if I haven't played the game in monthes.

[TheWinterWolf]

Because they didn't like it?

[Arayziel]

Why didn't they keep it like this? v_v

[Kafei464]

so much that didn't make it into the final version. it looks like you either fight or do a mercy killing on the lady whose legs get blown up in Angel. kinda creepy.

[david2draw]

Yeah that was one of the Red gunners. In another Killer7 beta movie I downloaded I did a frame progression and wedged inside the movieclips- (rather subliminally) is just a second or so clip of Coyote Smith shooting her in the head to finish her off.

[RevolverPhantom]

Man, they should have kept it more like this. Looks better this way...

[TheWinterWolf]

No, I remember that they did keep that scene after the first level. It's more done-up than this version however.

[david2draw]

You can see where they kept including those keyframe scenes like how Harman Smith turns and peers through the shattered glass out towards the audience, cool scene but I don't remember it in the final version, did they cut it or was it tooled around so much it became unrecognizeable?

[david2draw]

I wish they would've made Garcian upgradeablae and switchable like the other personas- he's got one of the coolest designs and it sucks that he isn't as good in battle as the other characters...

Its really hit or miss when I try to do Garcie's down attack too, any suggestions? :(

[TheWinterWolf]

I wish that they included Dan's slow-motion ability thingy. That would have been awesome.

[david2draw]

Time Slow now THAT is cool! I also liked the idea for Con's 'anime-style speed lines' when he shoots and reloads, it just looked cool.

[david2draw]

You can also see how they were experimenting with the reload animation- as how instead of showing a side angle of your character reloading, the camera zooms out behind the character's back and then zeroes back in onto the target. I think they should've included both

[david2draw]

it doesn't fully load :(

Well either way, the early stages of Killer7 looked awesome- they should've included far more of their prototype work in the final product. Lighting Heaven Smiles on fire via candlesticks and kerosene lamps = cool.

[TheWinterWolf]

YAY! No comments!
