Exclusive Killer 7 Details, Latest Screens

Although the release of Capcom’s sublime Killer 7 for GameCube and PlayStation 2 is torturously distant, we have been granted access to the latest information and screenshots taken from the freshest build of the genre-busting epic.

In the game, you play as Harman Smith, an elderly Jewish man with a very distinct limp. However, Harman’s routine stretches far beyond drawing his pension and having his Saturday morning tied up, as he’s actually the world’s most feared assassin, packing a large anti-tank rifle and able to transform into any of seven strikingly impressive killing machines.

Yes, this is the stuff dreams are made of...

The assassins Harman can summon from within are:

Garcian Smith, Age 33.
He is a man with clairvoyance. He can see through various scams, traps, etc., and has the power to see through enemies' weak spots and their habits. Weapon of choice: a small gun with a silencer, mostly for self-protection.

Dan Smith, Age 33.
He's a man who has the power to change bullet trajectories with his mind. The only man he trusts is Garcian. An evil man who, if he ever had the opportunity, would kill Harman. He's a trained killer blessed with his strong natural physique. Weapon of choice: Colt Python modified

Mask de Smith, Age 38
His wrester-like appearance is a disguise and has two purposes. One is to cover his horrible skin burns. And the other is to keep his identity a secret. Although he has a strong sense of justice, from time to time his past tragic memory haunts him and triggers him to become madly violent. Weapon of choice: Grenade Launchers x2

Coyote Smith, Age 28
He has the power to move through physical matter. He is always in conflict with the other members, especially with Dan. He is unfriendly and very violent. Weapon of choice: a modified Enfield

Kevin Smith, Age 30
He's a very pale-looking man who can only live in the shadows. Incredibly sensitive to light, any exposure to light will kill him. Like an infrared camera, he has perfect vision even in total darkness (his eyes glow in the dark). The way he travels is by hiding in people's shadows. The only character who doesn't use a firearm. Weapon of choice: throwing knives

Kaede Smith, Age 20
The only female personality of the bunch. Sadly, she doesn't realise that she is a part of Harman's multiple personalities and ignores the existence of Harman. She's very independent and comes and goes whenever she pleases. Weapon of choice: An AMT Hardballer.

Con Smith, Age 14
A child blessed with exceptional hearing. He uses his amazing ability to hear the pulse of the enemy and ascertain where they are. Weapon of choice: Full Automatic x2

So that's the character roster sorted, all we need now is a solid hands-on stretch with the game, which we hope to bring you in the not too distant future. Expect Killer 7, perhaps the most innovative of any upcoming videogame, on shelves for PS2 and GameCube in time for Christmas 2004.
