It was at the Tokyo Game Show in 2010 that everyone got a glimpse of yet another forthcoming action title involving gargantuan gods. Word from a fresh Sony PlayStation blog post claims a 2012 launch for Asura’s Wrath.
Director Sheiji Shimoda puts the feeling of déjà vu down to mere superficial resemblances with regards to the talk about gigantic gods. The boss fights are going to be on a bigger scale than depicted in the recent game trailer, though skills will count over the size of the bosses.
Bosses will be used to elevate the dramatic element rather than as plain old action set-pieces. And enthusiasts can lay off anticipating the archetypal action game where one may begin with a small sword and progress to a huge weapon, although power up stages haven’t been totally ignored.
Shimoda has even been waxing eloquent on the various ways in which the camera is used to polish the action and drama to a grander level. Whenever Asura’s Wrath releases for PS3 in 2012, it will also offer gamers English and Japanese voice over alternatives.
