Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was shown off for the first time this month at GDC. But Grasshopper Manufacture will be back next week at PAX, and actually has a new build planned.

Famitsu got an early look at the latest demo version during a live stream this week. The footage, posted below, depicts new moves, new effects, improved environments and camera angles, new items, item placement, dialogue, and the second phase of the boss fight.

A number of sites are coming forward with footage from Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. We’ve rounded up a couple of videos below.

At GDC this week, Grasshopper Manufacture has brought along the first playable demo of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. Get a look at some gameplay in the video below.

One of the notable elements we previously heard about with Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is the game’s indie collaborations. This wasn’t spoken of as of late, but we finally have some concrete news on that front.

It’s been announced that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes will feature Hyper Light Drifter gear that you can wear. Further specifics haven’t been provided, so it’s currently unclear if this is just a cosmetic bonus.

Hyper Light Drifter was actually just announced for Switch a short while ago. Abylight and Heart Machine will have it ready for this summer.

A Famitsu live stream with Suda51 was oddly being hyped this week, even though these broadcasts have been taking place for a few months and don’t often reveal anything too big. That was once again the case with the latest event. Suda51 didn’t have any major revelations, but brought along some new concept art and shared a few small details.

Suda51 first showed the “Golden Gun” that’s used to kill demons by an unannounced character. Players will encounter this character in a game-within-a-game that has a modern setting. Suda noted how that the gun is similar to the one from Killer7.

Many outlets have had a chance to speak with Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes director Suda51. Famitsu was included, and was given an opportunity to learn more about the Switch game. In one of its issues, the Japanese magazine published a two-page interview with Suda51.

During the interview, Suda51 provided a status update on development progress, some of the staffers working on the team, and background information for things like the Death Drive Mk-II. We have a full translation below.

GamesRadar recently caught up for an interview with Suda51 for all things Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. Although there was talk about the upcoming Switch game, Suda51 took some time to reflect on the series as a whole.

One noteworthy part of the discussion came about while Suda51 commented on No More Heroes being accepted in the west compared to Japan. He said that there has “definitely” been a “much more positive reaction” in North America and Europe. Although the reaction in Japan hasn’t been particularly bad, it perhaps hasn’t been as warmly received due to its violent nature and blood.

Suda51 said:

In an interview with Destructoid talking about Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, director Suda51 had many positive things to say about Switch. Translator James Mountain relayed the following:

“He feels that the Switch has a lot of possibilities as a console. There’s a lot of new things it’s trying out as a piece of hardware. There’s a lot of things he’d be able to do by putting the game on the Switch that he wouldn’t be able to do putting it on another console. So far, everyone’s been really supportive for him. The console itself is fun and easy to develop for. And as far as the type of game this is and the way controls are going to work out, it’s a perfect fit.”

Suda51 will be using the Switch Joy-Con in a number of ways in Travis Strikes Again. The method of charging the beam katana from the original No More Heroes games will be returning, and you’ll be able to play with a single controller. Suda51 intends to bring back features from the old games and potentially implement some new ones.

Like we heard towards the end of last week, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes will allow users to play with just a single Joy-Con. Director Suda51 isn’t forgetting about that other controller though. And in an interview with Polygon, it was strongly suggested that the game will feature multiplayer.

Suda51 teased:

“As far as what’s going to happen with the other Joy-Con, at this point technically it’s still a secret. [We’re] going to be releasing information at some point in the future, [but] as you can see, there are … two main characters, so draw your own conclusions, if you want.”

Assuming Travis Strikes Again includes multiplayer, this would be the first entry in the series with the functionality.
