'NeverDead' Screens Remind You That This Game Will Probably Be Nuts

Decapitations and beatings with severed limbs inside.

The Rebllion Studios-developed third-person action game is creeping up on us, and publisher Konami has released a batch of screens. If you'll recall, the big hook to NeverDead is that your character, Bryce Boltzman, can detach and deploy his limbs as weapons, scouts, and then regenerate them. I, for one, welcome these elaborately bizarre shooters from Japan like this or last year's Shadows of the Damned, or Gungrave (hey, what's with all the dead or semi-dead/vaguely supernatural dudes in these games and their dead significant others?).

Here's the synopsis:

Over 500 years have passed since a mortal named Bryce Boltzmann endured a life-altering tragedy at the hands of Astaroth, the Demon King. His wife murdered, left defeated and rendered immortal, he now moves through life without aspirations other than where he will find his next drink. Lending a hand to the clandestine group, the National Anti-Demon Agency(NADA), he pursues redemption through the extermination of demonic forces within the modern day world along with his agency partner, Arcadia.

NeverDead is a third person action/shooter offering a radically new game experience within the genre based on decapitation and regeneration. Lose any limb and still have the ability to endure the fight as death has already passed you by...

NeverDead hits the 360 and PS3 January 31st.
