Our website covered it at E3 2004. I should HOPE AND PRAY it's better than what was shown. Actually the screenshots are a bit cleaner.

Definately looks like they tightened up the graphics.

I wonder if the game will have the same VAs as the series/movie, if so it's a must buy. If not I'll have a tough time accepting it Smile

Funny thing...the game was delayed so they could release InuYasha: TSotCM last November *coughRUSHJOBcough*. I think they've learned not the make the same error. Interestingly, the game was NOT at E3 this year. Also, InuYasha had the same VA's in the game I believe, so Bandai has a line of credit there.

Once again, we get screwed out of having really cool bonus items, and the regular cover looks like ass. I was really hoping that Bandai was going to put this product out and thankfully they are. I'm really excited about this game. It's too bad that the Trigun game got canned.

Yeah, saw this a while back, thanks to this forum:

The new characters seem interesting, but I think it's just going to be like the movie - a rehash of the of the show, without adding anything really new to the story...

I wonder if Yoko Kanno is going to compose music for this game.

She did some new music. Three tracks were already released on TANK! The Best!, and the limited edition "delux" version of the Japanese game comes with a soundtrack CD "Yoko Kanno Presents", but I dunno what on that, or if she did the whole soundtrack.

Really, what more do you need? Why do so many Bebop fans keep asking for more. The series had a damn ending. Get the hell over it. Hell, I cry every time I see it. What more do you want?

A video game set during the series is fine by me. Side story with new charcters. Fine. It's like a new episode. Yet here, you're playing it. Awesome. Hope the game play and controls are good. That's one thing you can never tell until you play the game.

I already know this. I was asking if she was going to compose music for this new game as well.
