Well not quite. Just been reading an article on Cube Europe about "Killer 7" which I never really heard nothing about. But it sounds so cool!
I remember Whitestripes creaming himself over this, I think I know why now: -
"Killer 7`s protagonist`s aim is to stop outbreaks of terrorism around the world. Named Harman Smith, the man`s mind is split into seven different personalities, and he`ll have to use the different abilities of each persona to 'take out' (in the Mafia sense, not the date sense) targets. Not skimping on story, Harman is on a mission of revenge for the killing of his beloved Suzy. Check out the press release for more.
SEVEN DEGREES OF PERSONALITIES COME TOGETHER TO FORM ONE ‘KILLER’ PRODUCT IN CAPCOM’S KILLER 7 FOR NINTENDO GAMECUBE
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- July 11, 2003 -- Capcom Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced new details on its stylized hard boiled action adventure Killer 7™ for the Nintendo™ GameCube. Featuring striking cel-shaded visuals, Killer 7 chronicles the connection between two men whose intertwined paths develop into a compelling tale of fate, revenge, and altering personas. Killer 7 propels players into the consciousness of one man, and his seven different personalities, in an effort to stop a wave of disconcerting indiscriminate terrorism that is plaguing the world. Killer 7 is scheduled to be released in 2004. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating is pending.
In Killer 7, players take on the role of Harman Smith an unlikely assassin who lives life at his own pace. Switching between seven different personalities, he employs each character’s abilities to terminate targets he deems “deserving to die.” Years have passed and violence and instability have started to beleaguer developed nations. People with crazed and distorted smiles are appearing throughout the world. Anyone with this “Heaven’s Smile” becomes violent and begin attacking anyone within close proximity. Now these crazed soldiers have started to overthrow huge city governments and have even taken the life of Harman’s beloved Suzy. It is up to the player to utilize the special powers that dwell within Harman’s seven “partners” to assassinate Kun Lan, the powerful underworld kingpin behind it all.
Among the many features Killer 7 will deliver are:
Distinctive and visually stunning approach to cel shaded environments
Unique cast of playable characters – Each persona has different strengths, special abilities and powers that help Harman proceed through the game."
Sounds cool.

Killer 7 stars 7 characters, each character has their own unique ability. These abilities are needed to complete multiple storylines in multiple stages. This game is a strikingly original title from Capcom.
Cel=shaded is like animation, there are thousands of types of animations, CGI, Manga, cartoon etc... and the same applies to this... the unioque visual effects of this game will help aid its bizarre and unique storyline.

The graphics is nothing like the cel-shaded we are used to... it is heavily styalized.

Right... a heavily violent, deep storyline, thrilling action adventure is specialist styalized enviroments. they aren't selling it on the graphics, it is one of the original capcom 4... If they stuck with the "realistic" graphics it will be an original game that looks like hitman. The graphics reflect the game.

Kirby cell shaded?
What Kirby?
FS, you know sod all about this game. I've had the first video since it was realeased, not only does it look 100% unique from any other game, the graphic style also allows a wonderful blood splattering up walls effect and the like.
Christ, you are such a damn moron.
Your an*l remarks about it not being new don't really deserve an answer, but I might as well while I'm here.
Zelda is crap, Halo is crap, Hitman 2 is crap, all FFs are crap, MGS2 is crap, MGS3 will be crap, in fact, basically every game in the last few years and all of the games in the future will be crap.
Why? Because none of them are new.
At least, thats what fukwits like you think anyway.
Now sod off and quit wasteing our time.

lol another? *dum dum dum* "another one bites the dust!"
Another case of TGMBloke exploding into rage over a computer game?
*whispers* he means assumptions (in case no one knew whta it meant ;P)
I never had a go at you at first, it was just your follow up comments that annoyed me.
I said you have a serious case of foot in mouth syndrome on the forums. As in, your reply's do tend to envoke rage in a lot of the members. You seem to be good at making vast generalisations.
