First true Afro Samurai trailer in the wild

Posted on February 8th, 2008 at 17:56 EDT

You don't see many samurai with afros nowadays; it's simply out of style. However, Namco Bandai's game based on the anime series of the same name is set to bring it back in a big way. Enter Afro Samurai.

 
A surprise trailer showed its face during a DICE presentation given by Roger Hector, the VP of Development at Namco Bandai Games. The title seems to stay true to the original 2D art of the movie. The game looked quite strong graphically (at least from the shaky camera footage), though the animation needs a little touching up in our opinion. If you want to see the shaky trailer in all its glory, check it out on Kotaku.

However, we're still not convinced if Afro Samurai is as cool as this guy. Only time will tell.

If you guys watched the SPIKE mini-series it was quite good. If this game delivers I will definitely check it out.

Sorry but this is just WaCK!!!! The music does not match at all either, we dont need no HIP-HOP samurai game. HIP-HOP trys to take the artistic sense out of the original art and replace it, shil`s WAcK! The typical American would disagree with me. The game it-self could be fun though not doubting that. What do you think?
