MADWORLD is surely set to be next year's absolute best ultraviolent, stylized, graphic-novel-inspired, God Hand-like game, and to demonstrate this, we will stack adjectives until they clatter to the floor in a heap. Initially, we were given only a peek at the awesomeness: a grainy scan and a few tantalizing screenshots. But now a few more have turned up, and the slow reveal of PlatinumGames' debut is the news equivalent of unwrapping a particularly delicious piece of candy. Satisfy your craving in the gallery below.
New screens tease more MADWORLD

Anyone else feel like it would be hard to follow the character around on-screen?

With the ratings situation in Europe right now I can't see this coming out the way it is on the shots for the PAL version. They did that to No More Heroes to make it available for younger audiences but with this game where's the point? If you take out the blood or change the color or replace it or whatever there is nothing about the visuals anymore.
@klepto88: I think once it's moving in front of your eyes it would be pretty easy to distinguish. A motionless picture doesn't give you the outline and position info that things like motion blur would create in your head.

I don't know.
Rising Star made a pre-emptive move to remove the No More Heroes blood without even submitting it to the BBFC, or any other European ratings board, I believe. So it's hard to say what rating the "real" game would have got. Our Pal versions of Resident Evil 4 got a 15 rating and, in terms of extraordinary violence, I really don't see a great deal of difference between that and NHM.
I think Rising Star kinda punked out on the issue, seeing he Manhunt fiasco, and all that. But I don't think Sega would react in a similar fashion. There Will Be Blood. If that's what you're after. But agree with you: without the fountains of red it would be a little pointless.
The guy looks like he's caught Chun Li thumb.

So, is this going to be better than No More Heroes?

Graphically, i doubt it, although the black-and-white style will hide some of the more texture-based impurities, but the core issues of polygon count don't seem to have been resolved
Gameplay wise, it'll be a wholly different beast, i think

This looks pretty sweet already, hopefully it will beat NMH in terms of content. Any word on a release date yet?
