PS2 Killer 7 to Launch Alongside GameCube Version in Japan – New Gameplay Details Inside
US and Europe still to see GC exclusivity period – game length revealed inside.
In a recent interview, Capcom’s lead producer for the wonderful-looking Killer 7, Hiroyuki Kobayashi, has stated that the game will hit Japan simultaneously for both PlayStation 2 and GameCube, with the Nintendo machine now seeing no period of exclusivity in the region.
However, Killer 7 will still be available first for the GameCube in both Europe and North America.
In other news, Kobayashi-san revealed that the main game in Killer 7 lasts around six hours if hammered through from start to finish. Worry not, however, as he also stated that there are a total of six optional scenarios, adding another 16 hours of play.
Killer 7 is still a frustratingly illusive title, with little known as to what the game entails. There’s a lot of killing, that much is clear, and a certain amount of blood, so that’s a good start.
We are expecting more from Capcom in the not too distant future, including an explanation of gameplay and a batch of fresh screens – stay tuned.

Not a massive game then?
Hope there's some replay value in this one.

Game length moaning is really starting to f**k me off. RPG users demand 40 hours per game – They need to get something to do. Like the Philadelphia Mini advert says, we are all trying to cope with our 24hr lifestyles. And my 24hr lifestyle means that shorter game can actually be played to completion.
If Killer 7 offers 20 hours of actual gameplay, isn’t that enough. How much actual gameplay does Final Fantasy X offer? Seriously, if the turn-based battles were removed, I bet it would be shorter than Killer 7.
Of course, Capcom could make a turn-based system, instead of real gameplay and get 100 hours plus. That would be spiffing.
Is swearing allowed by the way? I personally like a bit of swearing and think it f**king should be.

Who said anything about RPGs?
Many people think the longevity of a game is important. Slagging off people who play RPGs by accusing them of being lonely individuals doesn't make your whinge any more potent, it just pis*es people off.

RPGs' 50-70 hrs play. Shooters 2-3 everything else 10-20 hrs. This excludes unlockable features; gallery/sound test ect. I tried to play Metroid Prime and just got bored backtracking. Keep it short and focused.

Shooter 2-3 hours? Which ones? I've been missing out! So back to your original point, how is this a short game?
(Ooh, a heated debate!;)

Dude you write the most incisive, but least insightful, forum comments in the world.

Hurrah and hear, hear to that!
I mean, the best game in the world is that spear chucking thingm, and that's all over in about 2.6 seconds.
And the second best game is that one where you hit a penguin with a club, and that lasts about 3.2 seconds.
Can you see the pattern that is emerging here?

And all this without even a mention of WarioWare or Bishi Bashi.

Hi Mr Uppercut...
come on, when you've nailed a shooter (any shooter- Horizontal or Verticle). Return to it and clock it's bullet wave action (TM). Then wizzzz thru.
ps..the "eyes closed thing" works with porn, images of violence and Mario Kart
Swearing is essential when dealing with Nintendo and their European release schedule.

That's with a fixed bullet wave action (tm), no?
What about those random waves?

I don't watch porn*, but it's all I see when I close my eyes. What's going on there, then? Hmm. Maybe it's a chromosomal thing.
*okay, infrequently

Yes, and images of things you are ashamed about too. Also, if you ever worked on a convey-belt assembly line.
