Distinctive auteur Suda 51 is about as divisive as they come. Indeed, the luminary's games either cause intense adoration, or confused and bewildered disgust. And if this trailer for his new PlayStation 4 exclusive Let It Die is anything to go by, that trend isn't likely to be changing in the near future. The live action clip that debuted in Sony's E3 press conference today sees a group of oddly dressed men attacking each other with clubs and other blunt instruments.
There's not really any gameplay here, so we're not entirely sure of what to expect from the full experience. Instead, we're left attempting to come up with the sort of bizarre situations that Suda himself would think of, which is obviously proving to be a fool's errand. In all honesty. we're just hoping that the game won't feature a twisted reimagining of the classic Beatles song 'Let It Be'.
Are you an ardent Suda 51 Fan, or do his games give you the creeps? Go crazy in the comments section below.

I play a lot of ultra violent games but every once in a while one comes along that I don't think I'd be a fan of, this looked like one of those. What happened to that Lilly Bergamo game?
I hope this isn't yet another Suda that's so OMGIMSOQUIRKY that I can't actually enjoy it.
Disgusting, vulgar, and offensive. Somethings wrong with the "mind" that thinks up this 'entertainment', the company that promotes this, even in a public worldwide press conference, the audience that applauds this garbage, and the person who derives entertainment from it.
Have people lost the ability to look objectively at what they are watching and say "Really, I want to put this in my head? Why?" Goichi Suda needs to be held accountable for this trash.
It won't sell well. I really don't think the majority is going to go for this. I've never had much problem with Suda's games in the past because they seemed more so stupidly over the top to the point of parody, but yeah, I think the industry could do without this. Felt the same way about those Manhunt games Rockstar made.
@ThreadShadow I agree this is garbage games like this are the kind of games i hope flop
Hypocrisy of violent video games strikes again. Mortal Kombat isn't vulgar and a TV show like Hannibal is tasteful. Get a grip guys.if you don't like it then don't play it.
Reminds me a lot of manhunt and i loved those games, so i am interested. Gaming should have something for everyone and I am a horror/slasher movie fan, not all games can or should be Disney like affairs. Why would anyone want a game to flop? Seems crazy to me. If you do not like it or it's content, move on and play something different. You don't need to hate on a game just because it isn't for you
And I also thought lollipop chainsaw was a lot of fun too.
@Gamer83 Good question, not sure what happened to Lilly Bergamo but would be nice to hear about it again!
Not for me, thanks Suda
@Mrskinner
Seems like it just up and disappeared, I'm hoping somebody from IGN or one of the other big outlets does a little digging this week, but that's doubtful.
@SimonAdebisi Totally with you there. It's incredible how people can stomach ultraviolence if it comes in the "right" package. Everytime something comes up that shows violence under an unappealing light, in a way that makes us cringe like violence SHOULD do, everyone goes oh no, they shouldn't be allowed to do that, that's offensive. Of course it's offensive, it's violence for Christ sake. If people want to be so rigtheous about it, be coherent enough to rant about shows/games that glorify violence as cool, awesome and artsy.
Seems like its a little dark this game I can take it or leave it games like this if it's got good Gameplay and maybe some online side to it then I will try it I can see lot ppl jumping on this for the gore and ending up with a bad game no structure no depth to story who knows we need to see more from it to be fair before we judge it fully
What sort of game is this? A fighter? I will judge when i see more gameplay. The ultra releastic violence was a bit to much for me.. I hate movies like saw so this is not a surprise:P
Yes, Mortal Kombat is also disgusting. So is the recently announced Loadout. And yes, a show glorifying a cannibal is also offensive, and I'm disappointed in Mads for taking the role.
@ThreadShadow like it or not, violence is still part of humanity and nature is pure violence. Would you object to a game where you played as a leech, tapeworm, virus, cat, shark, whale, asteroid, volcano, supernova?
Sooo..violence is perfectly acceptable when its on a AAA game ie The Last of Us, but totally unacceptable when its a game from a niche creator a la Suda51? Ok. Ill keep that in mind.
@LDXD cats play with their prey, leopard seals play catch with their prey, batting penguins into the air for fun, nature isn't all that nice, foxes often kill animals for fun. Humanity is the same, humanity and nature are the same thing.
Looks interesting. Not sure what kinda game it is tho. It is only a game after all.
@LDXD all correct, animals can be cruel for fun, with humans it comes down to mental defects and broken human morality. I'm a pacifist but I still enjoy violent games.
@LDXD Yeah on parents being more responsible, whenever some controversy about some kid being influenced by a game happens, people sue and bash the people who made them, but no one says anything about the parents who let their child play game, when it's really them who are at fault, espcially when it's blatantly obvious about what it is. Let's see now, it's called Manhunt, the cover has a serial killer on it that looks horrific, and it's rated M. What could possibly be suspicious about it and wrong with my child playing it.
Well i'm not sure what i just saw, but you can count me as one of those people who applaud this "trash" or whatever.
@ThreadShadow You know... i aint gonna lie, i agree with you. some of his games though however i like cuz they are hilarious and i dont take them serious like Shadows of the dammned. i found that hilarious. bu tthis game... i find it too...... anti hype. i saw it and i was like.... "What the CENSORED WORD is this crap?" Sonys Press conference was alright but it was slow and no tas good as it could have been in my eyes. The ending was great though.
