The second project in development at PlatinumGames is called Madworld and is best described as ultra-violent ; the player takes the role of Jack, who has a chainsaw arm. With the help of the Wiimote-Nunchuk combo, it is possible to brutally kill enemies, in a style that is similar to Killer 7 in black, white and blood. First images.

If it wasn't for the stylized black and white thing this would look like pure shit. Really silly characters, mk style brutality and just...bulky wrestler type guys?

The idea with the black and white is cool but other than that it looks pretty awful to me.

Gotta be the first time i come in to a wii thread and don't just shoot off some silly comment about how bad the wii sucks. By the way. Wii sucks. Really.

Nah, close enough to sin city's artistic style, but the palette here is much different...

Well... yes.

But it's still very Frank Miller. You can't tell me that hardcore violence, black, white and red are not characteristics that both share heavily. Not even taking into account blood splatters. There's a comic style to the characters in this game as well.

I don't dig these Japanese style-over-substance games like Killer 7, No More Heroes, The World Ends With You, and such...

Also, with a game being this stylized, can it really be called gory? It's abstract.

After the commercial disasters that were No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki, you'd think that developers would stop trying to make hardcore games for the Wii... Oh well! I'm not really complaining. The game looks awesome.
Hardcore? lol. by the description you waggle your arm around to chop people up....that doesnt sound very hardcore to me. but then you could be talking about hardcore violence? in which case why include zak and wiki in your examples...lol.

Some how I think this game get its inspiration from chainsaw scence of GOW:
1. Execution.
2. Blood spread.
3. Mad World (remember the TV ad of GOW?)

It is from the makers of Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Godhand. They used to be called Clover before Capcom got rid of them.

Well, I shouldn't speak for someone else but I'll just slide in and say that contrary to belief, No More Heroes is a pretty hardcore GAME with proper score attacks. It's got a lot of nuance to it and is infinitely harder to play than something like Eledees. The same is true of Zack and Wiki which has genuinely challenging puzzles.

Whether this here Mad World will be hard to play or not is obviously difficult to say at this point, but since it's by the Okami people I doubt it's completely mindless.

Nevertheless an awesome looking game, and further proof that due to low cost development and shorter dev cycles, people dare go nuts on the Wii. I look forward to more crazyness on it in the future.

Wow, is that his spinal column in picture 6? Awesome!

I love the style they've used, I don't think I've been taken aback by a game's visual style since JSR, which blew me away.

The Wii has just become interesting for me.

Not trying to be too critical here but I find that using commas and periods usually gets the job done better than the dot dot dot aspect. Unless you were trying to make your comment seem longer than it is.

You make some good points, it is too early to make judgements on how difficult the game will be because of the developer involved. I'm sure anyone who's played or heard about Godhand knows what I'm talking about. It could range from "challengingly easy" to "harder than Contra 3".

It's more like style and substance over next gen graphics
Abstract? Please

Such a terrible quality trailer on Gametrailers too

I like how Wii generally is either really child directed games, or super violent. Two extremes with not much in between
