Release date set for Killer 7

[Great Rumbler]

Well it's about time!

According to Capcom's website, the long awaited action title "Killer 7" is to get a near-simultaneous worldwide launch this summer.

Capcom are currently listing the game for release in the US on June 7th, which would normally indicate a European release sometime in Spetember. However, according to the site, the game is set to be released on the 24th of June in the European market -a scant few weeks after the US release.

Meanwhile, the Japanese release date is an unspecified "Summer" date. One would infer from this that Japanese gamers may see a slightly earlier release than the US version, or perhaps a release somewhere between the US and European versions.

If the game is to be released worldwide in such a short space of time, it would make Capcom one of the only publishers to recognise that the European market often laments the fact that we seem to get most titles months after their launch in the US and Japan. Nintendo recently remedied this by releasing the Minish Cap over here before anywhere else, but there is a great deal of ground to be made up if Europeans are ever to feel the equal of other markets.

I'm still not sure quite what to make of this game. It looks like some kind of FPS on steriods...or acid. Of course that may make it the coolest game ever created, but we'll just have to wait until June to find out for sure.

Yeah, I wish we could get more hands-on impressions of this game - it looks cool. June isn't so far-off, though, so we'll get them soon enough.

It's supposed to be really super-violent, like blood shooting everywhere when you kill people. It's kind of an FPS, but it's so trippy that you almost can't tell what's even going on.

This was supposed to come out two friggin' years ago.

[Great Rumbler]

Well it didn't, but, yes, we've hearing about it for a long time.

June 7th, huh? Right after my birthday. I'll have to look into it with any money I get.

[Nick Burns]

Its a game that definitly sparked my interest. Im gonna have to get it for sure.

[Great Rumbler]

Everyone should buy it so that Capcom will continue to make cool games.

I got P.N.03...

[Great Rumbler]

That's not a cool game though.

[OB1]

ABF likes crappy shooters.

Have either of you actually played it?

The biggest problem people have with the game is when they mistakenly think of it as an FPS. It's not. It's much more akin to an R-Type or Gradius.
