r/GodHand

I've decided to pick up and play this choice title again. Here are my results for New Game (Normal) using PCSX2 EMU. I am ultimately working towards a new game+ (Hard) playthrough. Something I've completed a long time ago in the past but wanted to challenge myself to do again. The nightly build of PCSX2 offers unlockable achievements for games via linking your retro achievements account, so this was essentially my first go to game to try and get them all for.

GOD HAND (PCSX2)

Regular reminder this is the single best and most effective way to show Capcom that we'd like God Hand to be preserved on PC. This was recently credited from Capcom themselves with getting the classic Resident Evil games updated and released on GOG + Steam, with Capcom initially confused on the demand stating 'we have all those remakes, those are the superior games'

Other successful titles from Capcom to be added include the Devil May Cry series, Dino Crisis 1 & 2 and Breath of Fire IV. Capcom genuinely might never release God Hand on PC and modern platform *unless* there is visible demand, as they do not see the obvious value in preserving older titles, seeing remakes as replacements.

This year is God Hand's 20th Anniversary in Japan. As of writing this post, the Dreamlist vote count is at 6,635. If you'd like to see Capcom acknowledge God Hand this anniversary, take a minute of your time and vote. Fingers crossed enough people do, and we could hear from GOG or Capcom!

SHIFT UP recently announced Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN. Which seems to be a melee focused combat action game. SHIFT UP also recently acquired Mikami a while back. At 2:37-2:44 she does Gene's barrel roll kick, weaving, and up forward leg sweep.

The Director on Gameplay & Difficulty

Combat Mechanics: The combat shifts heavily toward intense close-quarters melee combat, which looks incredibly appealing with her smaller frame. While she uses different weapons (including a reverse-blade sword), the weapon/stance system will expand with deep combo variations and staggering depth.

Difficulty: It won’t be easier than the first game. Kim noted that modern gamers don't fear a learning curve.

However, unlike the first game (where the Easy Mode was added later), they are designing the easier difficulty options from the ground up this time to ensure it is just as fun and engaging for casual players.
