Stay Abreast of This Titillating Indie Fighting Game

This is a tech-demo if I ever saw one.
When I read digitized graphics ala MK I expected the worst and was actually positively surprised the girls look as good as they do. Sure the hit detection is crap and they could replace the stages with handdrawn images for as much as they look like actually being there, but the level of digitization in this is pretty impressive really.
I want to see how it looks on a proper size screen with the gameplay actually being rendered on the spot. The transitions from one move to another are key in this type of stuff, which is why the original MK's always had that stilted feel, the characters needed to go back to neutral positions after every move.
That aside:
What the frell is this?! I've heard of guys never growing up but this is ridiculous. Like someone said on the first page, this transcends parody and walks face first into that wall of sheer stupidity.
I can't wait for video-reviews of this game. It's going to be as beautiful as those reviews of that 16 wheel truck racing game where you can go infinite speed in reverse.

Aaannnddd it's titles like this that are the reason the rest of the world sees 'gamers' as socially awkward, pre-pubescent boys. There are ways of presenting the gaming medium in a favourable light - this is not one of them.

Nothing like paying for softcore porn, if you can even call it porn when the internet's famous for free hardcore porn.

Well, most people will do anything for money. How do you think Willow Smith got a music video with people in it?
wow this trailer is old. and i thought it was a parody! didnt know they actually made a game out of this D:
You know, as an actual game, this looks awful. But there were moments when I was left wondering just how much stuff they filmed for it.
The backgrounds are awful, but the fighters are clearly filmed. What surprised me there, is that at times it looks like actual full body contact.
(Certain moves look like the film has been sped up, because they move quite fast, but it doesn't seem natural)
But sometimes, when they're hitting eachother, it looks as though they actually filmed it that way.
Combining seperate footage in a believable way is quite a challenge, but meanwhile, filming the combinations foe every possible move between every possible fighter is a logistical nightmare.
I was also impressed that they recorded enough footage to make 3d panning seem viable at times. Though I guess there's no way to tell unless you see the game itself in action.
Those few technical things aside though, this looks incredibly awful.
Not only is it going for the lowest form of sex appeal, with no attempt at anything else, but the fighters are all generic, bland, bikini girls.
What's the point of a fighting game like this if all the characters are practically carbon copies of eachother?
As much as the costumes in a more mainstream title can get to be totally ridiculous (especially on the female characters), at least they lend some sense of variety to things.
Here? We just have a whole bunch of girls all wearing bikinis. And they don't even look interesting physically. They're all similar builds and body-types... No appreciable variation in hairstyles...
Really, the only girl that even stood out from the crowd was the one wearing something reminiscent of Sheeva from Mortal Kombat.
Eh. How boring.

I only watched about 30 seconds and from those 30 seconds I could tell that the game is gonna be a huge mess. And don't get me started on how it's almost blatantly obvious to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
And I like women who can kick all kinds of ass! D:
