Afro Samurai for PS3 and 360 next year News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

7 October, 2008

Atari has picked up Afro Samurai from Namco Bandai and plans to unleash it here in 2009.

This, you may remember, is the Xbox 360 and PS3 adaptation of the bloody anime starring Samuel L. Jackson. He plays Afro, a samurai on a journey of cel-shaded revenge for his father's death.

All will be faithfully recreated on console, we're told, from engaging combat to dismemberment and an original hip hop score by The RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame.

Check out our Afro Samurai gamepage for a couple of promising trailers.

I once worked with the guy who is lead designer on this project. The game's going to be shit I assure you.

I already fought enough "Afro Samurai" in Soul Calibur IV online. This sounds shit.

Lol, at BiscuitBase. The guy you worked with is incompetent or something?
Still, I loved the anime but the gameplay here looks a bit wack. The art style's down though.

I dont think I would take any users word on EG about a game being rubbish, especially people slating the designer as the reason why the think the game would be rubbish.

Anyway really doesnt sound like an interesting concept to me, though SLJ is very cool.
