Suda51’s first work was part of the well-known Capcom Five. A strange, surreal game with no remaster on the way.
Harman Smith is the protagonist (or not?) Of Killer7. Seven faces for a complicated personality, to say the least. This killer of God, for the efficiency in his work, recreates himself through projections of his unconscious to end Heavenly Smiles, a terrorist organization that is spreading terror. Garcian, Dan, Mask, Coyote, Kevin, Kaede and Con will be his executing arm – all with the last name Smith – in a surreal game. Violent. Strange. Killer7 turns 15.
With a game control mechanic on rails and the use of the first person to use the weapons that we carry, we explored young people (15 years before, who had them), without understanding too much the playable proposal of the title, scanning places, shooting, solving varied puzzles and storing the blood of the enemies to regain vitality, among other necessities, while that particular style at a visual level was impacting and surprising us step by step. For a particular script, for its atmosphere and for its unlockables. Although the control was rough. The actions, limited. And it will come entirely in English with the added difficulty involved.
The game was announced as part of the Capcom Five exclusive to Capcom’s Game Cube that later were not, and it was also released on PS2 in addition to the Nintendo console. Later, it appeared on Steam. And there he continues, waiting for his turn in the eternal list of games that are receiving remasters and revamped versions.
Suda51 asked for it a long time ago, ensuring that he wanted to make a remake as the best way to visit it. According to its creator, the best way to enjoy a game with these characteristics is a large-scale update, since “today it is not easy to play”. The universe, the script and the style that emerges well deserve it. At the moment it will not be like this, since as he expressed recently when he talked about his games that he would like to see on Switch, he recalled that the IP of Killer7 is from Capcom and that he “can do little”.
No More Heroes 3, Suda’s next
The creator of No More Heroes among other renowned sagas does see more possible that games like The Silver Case end up coming to Nintendo Switch: “there have been talks for it.” At the moment, he is working on No More Heroes 3, the expected and desired title for Travis fans, protagonist of the excellent first part that came out on Wii, which should be released exclusively for Switch during this 2020 if there are no changes in the developing.
