Wait, the long-teased Swery and Suda51 collaboration was announced as actually happening 7 months ago at TGS?

Can't believe I completely missed the news, I remember being really excited when they first joked about collaborating however many years ago.
Unfortunately, I hate to say it but the game looks to be a bit, well... crap. 
Visually it reminds me of Swery's first indie game, THE MISSING: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories which was also a rather spartan-looking 2.5D platformer with whacky visuals and tons of violence. I assume that's a limitation of the probably tiny budgets he's working with these days, so I guess I can't harp on him too much for it, but still, it's disappointing to see when his early games had him ambitiously punching way above his weight class.
As someone who loved Deadly Premonition it's just sad to see Swery continue to flounder.
Written and directed by SWERY, Original idea by SUDA
I like SWERY as a writer for games but his directorial stuff has been kinda hit or miss, this would be way more interesting if it was SUDA directing.
Yep, it certainly looks way more like a Swery game than a Suda one to me. Unfortunately, most of what Swery's done since D4 has not been that great. Coincidentally, that's everything he's done as an indie after he left Access Games
