The potentially cool PSVR2 projects keep coming with Ikimasho’s Korean neo-noir cinema inspired Tiger Blade. “Slash and blast your way through ranks of hoodlums in a high stakes chase through the atmospheric and meticulously recreated marketplaces, docks, alleys, and streets of Sewoon,” explained co-founder Yann Suquet.
“Set in an alternate Korea, you take the role of the deadliest assassin working for the Horangi chapter of the Tiger Clans. Ordered to steal a mysterious package from a rival chapter, you are shocked to find the object of the heist is, in fact, a tiger cub – thought extinct for a hundred years, the mythical creature is now desired by every gang in the city.”
This is an arcade-style title that’s designed to be highly replayable, with high scores, online leaderboards, and more. “The heart-pounding, non-stop action is further intensified thanks to haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and headset rumble,” Suquet added. And, as we alluded to in the headline, the whole game will play out to the beat of an original K-Hip Hop soundtrack.

Gameplay looks a bit rough but I love the concept and setting, and the soundtrack could be amazing. This could be really cool.
K-Pop... K-Hip Hop lol... Who listens to such crap?
@Tr3mm0r ... A lot of people?
The PSVR2 goodness keeps on coming!
Surely some of these recent announcements could have been part of the recent showcase though?
@get2sammyb Sorry for them
@Tr3mmOr I watched the trailer earlier and immediately pressed the mute button but then I do that for a lot of trailers that feature music that is not to my taste.
If that music is in the game I will be avoiding it.
This looks bad ass.
Star Wars Outlaws ripped this off
@Tr3mm0r We're equally sorry for you. More than equal, even.
Couldn't think of anything worse
When the song makes you stop the trailer...

Looks a bit low budget. Maybe they spent everything on the soundtrack. Which I don’t hate as much as some. Gives the game character anyway. Probably not for me though.
@Tr3mm0r
Where do we play that? Just out of interest?
So this is.....yeah....definitely....a game.
Kinda looks like the melee version of Pistol Whip maybe? Along with....that....soundtrack.... I like K-Pop....K-HipHop, not so much... There's at least ONE PSVR2 game that I don't need on my wishlist. Unfortunately, ONLY one!

@NEStalgia
That link doesn’t work for me, but if it is genshin, then that’s an incredibly modest game by most standards other than current.
@thefourfoldroot1 Seems to be the game tr3mm0r described. I could have the wrong one
Like Fruit Ninja for a new generation.
I admittedly know little of Korean music, but there's probably a ton of crap and a tiny percentage of good stuff - like every other country!
@Perturbator 10 years ago Korean music was in a really interesting space and was something really different when it first started emerging. Today it's basically all produced for global consumption and much if it is produced by American music producers to the same manufacturing standards American music has been produced to for the longest time. The interesting time was a decade ago. It's just plain old American RIAA now but happens to be in Korean. At least Japan does it's own thing still.
@KaijuKaiser Very true! With, more recently a suicide rate to match. It's an ugly subculture. The idol cultures are managed by the Korean agency, for those standards, and the music itself is increasingly just American-produced generic pop made for a world audience. It's pretty gross.
@KaijuKaiser Who would want to date in a universe where you can die from being sad?
Every so often I’m reminded that there are still a lot of very boring old men on this site.
Reminds me of this CKY jam from way back

In fairness to SK there’s a fantastic little lady called Kim on YT crushing all the most technically difficult speed and thrash metal drum parts from the era of extreme grandads; and in her highheels at that so it can’t be all boring hip-pop / boyband kiddies
