killer7 Steam Edition review 

Did you set the language to Japanese? I'm pretty sure that changes the region version.

Great vid. Loved the Gamecube version back in the day and was skeptical with that trailer, definitely gonna play this version now.

Fun fact: They now added subtitles to cutscenes.

Just discovered this game from recommendation, bought it on Steam, and played through it blind. I can confirm what you said: "I think Killer7 can still offer an incredibly unique and intriguing experience today." Sure can, changed my life.

I'm happy to see Killer7 getting a bit more love. I always found it such a strange, intriguing, and wholly unique game.

Suda getting shit back makes me wish Swery would get some love. I'll never see the end to D4.

I absolutely loved the fact that they re-released this game in HD On steam, They didn't have to do that, but they did. I never played it, but I always thought it looked so cool as a kid, and im so happy that I finally got the chance to play it when they released it on Steam. I gotta say, It's fucking awesome! So Strange, unique, and cool!

i'm unable to say exactly what i'll make when i review this game. this game is important. this game is a future-teller. the way suda taught the player about the actual policies and horrors of real world people..... i can't. THIS GAME IS PERFECTION.

I hope this is the return of suda making games like killer 7 again... I would be soo happy☺

My interest in Suda51 has been peaking recently, having never played one of his games. The Steam port went on sale today and I wanted to see if I'd be interested in this game, and I can happily say that this video convinced me to make the purchase!

Killer 7 is my second favorite Suda51 game of all time and I really do hope it comes to consoles I`m praying it does.

Glad you actually managed to get a review code and I find it hilarious that all these years you've been playing the game you've never once killed a Giant Smile that way, man what a difference kb+m makes. Welp it's great we got a great port, time to update that craigslist ad. Also fucking great choice for ending music B)

Thank you for the review, bud. Excited to play this gem again!

As surround system owner (5.1) I can say in sound department, at least today, they have surround sound mixing in the game. The dying heaven smile laugh outputs in full surround to make them just creepy and otherworldly, like you stop hearing them in world and in your head. There seems to be actual positional to the alerting chuckles but I cannot be entirely sure, I have played the port lamentably little. If you own a Gbros 8bitdo adapter and genuine gamecube controller this port is also easily playable on genuine gamecube controller!

Fantastic review! Really happy to see Suda 51, and especially _Killer 7_ , still relevant and in the minds of gamers in 2018! I knew there would probably be more Suda ports to Steam after _The Silver Suitcase_ in '16, and hope there's more to come. Would love to see an HD port of _Flower, Sun, and Rain_ .

So I'm a first time player who used the Steam version. I loved the game so much, and it felt so natural with KB+M, maybe making it a bit too easy? One thing I noticed was some boss attacks, such as Ayame's burst shots dealt an absurd amount of damage and this may be due to the game runs at 60FPS. Another thing is I seemed to have a lot of difficulty with the big enemies who you need to use Mask's charge shots to kill. Idk what it was but I'd hit them with the right level only for it to do nothing. Other than that, I'm currently going down a Suda51 rabbit hole playing nearly every game he's made. Would love to see you do a video on Silver Case, 25th Ward, and FSR.

GhenryPerez I enjoyed that, cheers! Very informative. As soon as I saw the first screen shots of Killer7, I knew I had to have it! I'd never been so enthralled or so intimidated by a game before or since. After, to fill the void, I picked up Resident Evil 4. 2005... what a year! :D Any hint of a true sequel to Killer7 gets me very excited! Still looking forward to your Killer Is Dead analysis :) Thanks again

I really didn't need a long review to sell me a game I always wanted to play since the gamecube launch, but you made a entertaining and interesting video man! Noice. I'll definitely get it and play it now

Was sitting on the Buy Now button... it has now been pressed. Love this game sooooo much, glad to see the Steam Edition isn't a trainwreck.

i found it through an upload of the heaven smile laugh do not regret it! 10/10 for probably being the setup for gorbino's CEO mindset quest

Now the next thing we need from Capcom it's porting Dead Rising 2 Case 0 and Case West on Playstation 4 and PC (Steam). After 8 years since those DLCs have been exclusively on XBOX 360, and then on XBOX ONE.

Even if the game aged, it aged very well - from technical to (maybe) story standpoint. Playing this on Steam, it feels like an experimental game that would produce today.

"Ah, Garcian. How long has it been?"

I remember when I was very young I would always remember my dad playing this game as Con Smith. I always thought his design was cool. The laugh from the Heaven Smiles always creeped me out tho. So I never played it. I saw it pop up on Steam and thought I needed to play it out of curiosity. Wow. I definitely don't regret it. If you don't mind a mind bending experience, pick it up. However, it's best to be played with no spoilers and no context going in imo.

Loved this game..one of my best games on the GC..inshort ever. Great review..you got yourself a subscriber.

I saw Killer 7 was about £4, so I'm downloading it now. I hope it's good because this video really sells it.

In the speedruns we have to swap between kb/m an controller play because there is a built-in delay on junctions when using mouse, but the shooting is so nice! As far as other differences go, Jean DePaul runs slightly faster during his fight. Another Smiles drop to the ground faster. OH and that Smile2 password section you showed.....you can't type that part but you can mouse-select the letters for a much faster experience.

I was so excited to see this appear on steam, since i never played it and i love what I've seen of it. Skipped the part of the video where the was a remark that included light spoilers

Thank you for this man. I want you to know that I value the opinion of people who actually know the game. I remember being furious when Bayonetta 1 was ported to Wii U and people kept saying it was superior to the 360 version. I wish someone like you would have been there to correct those lies. Also, you read my mind by saying the game hasn’t aged. I agree. It’s timeless. Truly belongs in the Criterion Collection of games.

Killer7 is my all time fav game and I just love how suda makes games and damm hes just amazing

We seriously need a God Hand Remaster. Please and thank you.😁

you're too late. Bought it as soon as it popped up on steam. Finally being able to play K7 with Mouse and Keyboard. Sometimes fever dreams come true.

Just finished it (the Steam version) and it was amazing. Great video too

sad that a NMH port will never be a reality but hey, we can hope for the switch version! btw good vid!

So glad its on PC now, I played it on GC and PS2, was always in my top 5 of all time and the only videogame I consider true art, we will never get a game like this ever again.

Fantastic review. The game is on sale at a killer price.

Steam version released to no fanfare in the slightest. All I do in evenings as of late is read news. And it wasn't until it got released I actually realized they are doing it. Very smart. One less game to PCSX2.

The possibility of that "Perfect Edition" Killer7 is what keeps me moving forward.

I don't hate cell shaded graphics, I'm just sick of borderlands's artstyle. K7 still holds up presentation wise tho. great video, G

Its on sale now if your watching this now until Sep 3rd

When i started playing Killer7, i could not stop after first chapter, but it was kinda hard to get into. No regrets, this is my the favorite game now.

Wow!!!!! I had no idea this was on Steam. I will be downloading this game....

In Residetn Evil HD Remaster, certain Reloading Animations were also locked at 30 fps for some reasons.

,,You don't see a god hand remaster do you?" Why you gotta bully me like that

Played demo on ps2 back in the days. It was great, got new port on steam and absolutely love it

I still have this game for GameCube, case and all. Once I can get a new PC I'm definitely purchasing this game. I wish there was a second one already :(

I first bought the PS2 version of this game. I got about halfway through, and then I found the gamecube version at a swap meet. Being a collector, I bought it, and tried it out to see how it looked compared to the PS2 version. I beat the gamecube version and never went back to the PS2 version.

I love this game Finished it couple times when it was released on ps2 and recommend many people to play it but it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea -

I fell in love with Suda's games when i played No more heroes. iv'e enjoyed all his games because he is very unique ( like yoko taro and Developers of Danganronpa ). i even liked killer is dead ( which looks like this game.....) so i'll definitely get it. good to know NISA had nothing to do with translation and developing LOL

I was surprised they released it with no lead up besides "this fall". Bought it instantly of course.

Thanks I've never played Killer7 before and found the Steam version by surprise but now that I know that the port is a-ok I will buy it.

You and I, we're both sick! The only time we feel alive is when we put our lives on the line. It's a sad reality, but we people are never satisfied. We'll always seek a higher rush! The history of the United States rests within the walls of this institution; it's an old tradition that continued since the first presidential election! I want you to see it through to the end. And by the way, women are all the same!

Bought limited edition with this freakin art book. And here i thought they wouldnt release it. Suda is GOD!

i never played the game b4 the steam port i just finished it tonight fuck it was something special loved it

Something I noticed the other day when replaying this: You ever notice the ring as part of the bondage gear on Iwazaru? Notice it's placement?

thk you Mr. Ulmeyda...)

Never thought I would ever replay this game. But never knew that playing with different inputs would change how I play the game. That and I'm experimenting trying to have motion aiming and being able to easily switch persona's with the right stick. Never knew that alone would have some enjoyment value Don't get me wrong, keyboard and mouse is the best input. But it's nice to have options and I know some people would rather aim with the gyroscope

I tried playing K7 for the first time in dolphin back in 2013 but it was laggy as hell and when I tried shooting angel's wings the game just freezed. I tried again in 2016 on PCSX2. I absolutely loved the game but it ran at such a low framerate it was frustrating at times. When I saw a review that said that it ran in 60 FPS on steam I didn't think twice and bught it right away. I just hope they plan on doing something like a sequel to Killer 7 or at least release hand in killer 7 as a DLC ;-;

I honestly thought the reload animation being at 30FPS was a stylistic choice lol, I like how it looks for some reason.

God hand will be in pc TOO !!

So the seeming string of Suda 51 titles on Steam implies we might get Lollipop Chainsaw. I really hope so. That game would benefit greatly from 60+ fps, improved graphics, and both gameplay and skin mods.

Only thing that I do wish this port had (other then a tutorial with keyboard and mouse prompts) is being able to use motion aiming on it. Would use steam to intergrate motion aiming. But the way you play this game, it's just not possible. Huge nitpick that won't matter to most people, myself included. But more options are always nice. Also having the real proper options menu in a windows xp like sepeate window. They should have put full binding in the proper game

Since a Gamecube/PS2 masterpiece like this got a PC port now, why not Timesplitters? Please? PLEASE.

Well once i get a pc time to play this again been a long time to.

as someone always interested in the game but just didnt want to play it emulated (already played nmh, nmh2 and killer is dead), can say for sure that it became one of my favorite games ever, the only problem i noticed were the reload animations but it isnt a big deal, this is arguably the best suda game ever made

When it came to the textures, I understand why they kept most of the textures the same, pixalted and all. They were able to replace some of the for a higher rez version, but a lot of them are in a file called data.nfs. I tried to do a texture pack to keep redo the textures to make them look clearer. But then I also looked at forums to see if some other people are also doing it. A steam forum with had the NiS encouraging people to try and do a texture pack. They said that even they didn't know how to get all of the textures. Though if anyone knows how to extract all the textures, then can anyone please tell me. I would like to try and work on the texture pack again

Just hoping for that sweet sweet Switch port

I religiously and thoroughly played this game since it came out, all the way to my adulthood. I was 15 at the time, and it hit me like a baseball bat to the knee because it was so unlike other gamecube games; not only in the fact that the presentation was so well executed and interesting, but the actual playing part was amazing and fresh. And still, with all the weird shit going on and the -over the top- narrative, there was space for characters doing cool shit, allies being strange and interesting, experimental game mechanics and a soundtrack that doesn't even have any right to begin with to be so fucking GOOD. They could've stopped at the experimental mechanics part, but noooo, they went hard as shit on the fucking music. Listening to Masafumi's work in No more heroes just makes it even more impressive; the whole team really knew what they where doing and how they wanted to convey it. I had never been able to explain quite right what this game is about when i tried to recommend it to friends. It was such an oddity. This game aged like a Diamond.

Can anyone link the video with those journalists playing Killer7 with Suda?

I bought a ps2 copy of killer 7 I had a blast but if i knew that it would have got a steam release i wouldn't have spend 30+€ on ebay

I really wish Killer 7 could make a film adaptation. The story and all of its symbolism would be amazing to see on screen

I've literally never heard of this game, but I was /way/ behind on tech during this period because of my families finances. This game popped up on Steam and the name sounded generic so I passed it by. Now, I'm taking a second look at picking it up.

The PS2, Xbox and the NGC were the sixth generation, not the fifth.

Something I wish people would consider before playing this game in 16:9 instead of the original 4:3 is how uncoventionally framed many of the game's scenes are. I think of the scene when the two Japanese guys in the second level only have the very tops of their heads visible as they explode, and suggest thinking about all the extra stuff you can see on the left and right of the screen as visual info that would make that scene less jarring if the pseudo letterboxing wasn't in place throughout this game.

I played killer 7 on gamecube w a gcvideo adapter in 480p widescreen. Looks nice but i always find comparisons between gc games and their remasters annoying when the show the gc in 4:3 cos most games do support widescreen

So speaking of Nippon echi software mind revieing soul nomad,the disgaea series and phantom brave

i kinda prefer the 480i softer look compared to sharper looking polygons in 1080p, but it's nice thats 60fps is possibleu

The only thing I can think of every time I see gameplay of this game is "How the fuck do you play this?" Now I can ask myself that at a buttery smooth 60fps

is not available anymore ive been trynna play this game since it came out

I want Freedom Fighters now, it's still a solid game and there's still nothing to compare it yet.

Well, I didn't even play the PS2 version and I barely know what is this all about.... should I play it?

I hate the fact that it requires Directx11 to play since my PC can only go so far as DX10 fml Btw did this port remove some of the cutscenes from the original or not ?

ooo i thought it would never release LOL

i acttually found a cib copy of killer7 on gamecube for 50$ last year.

Don't play on PC but will use my dead steam account to support my boy!

I would love to replay this game after nearly 16 years but I’m not a pc gamer. Why couldn’t they port it to PS4 or Switch?

This game and MGS 2 mindfucked aloy of people...

Major grossness! Love this game!

Are you going to do the clusterfuck Suda made called The Silver Case video? please do.

This is my favorite game and I can’t play it because my PC is sucks. So freaking sad.

Suda51 fix *Killer is Dead* port you magnificent bastard!

With Dan showing up in Travis Strikes Again, does this mean Suda owns Killer7 again? Or did the guy have to pay royalties to use his own character?

Wonder why this didn’t get ported to modern consoles?

cool game, never played anything like it. You know the game design is at its peak when you can turn every fucking cutscene into a wallpaper.

Best game eva

wish list plz

To bad we'll never get a killer8 spinoff

Killer 7

This needs to hit the Switch with optional motion controls!

If ninja gaiden series mgs series and the rest of suda games get to pc i will have no more wishes Edit : i want jojo games too
