>play as a vampire
Cool.
>but a good guy vampire who hunts other vampires!
Kill yourself, pussy.

>>713293823 (OP)
It feels like a copy of the witcher with the same dogshit combat

Combat looks really bad
I can deal with the PS4 visuals and some jank but the combat is a fucking mess

>>713294275
>>713294102
Euros can't make a good combat system to save their lives lmao

>>713293823 (OP)
>another special snowflake vampire than can survive the sun
skipped

I hope the game has gay romances

How big is the map? That's all that matters.

>>713293823 (OP)
>start watching 2 seconds ago
>first view they show...
>its fucking shit procgen environment with nothing interesting
retarded polacks

>>713294392
He is half vampire

>overdetailed tree spam everywhere
>together with a 20k triangle castle which stands out not because its an interesting Poi but because it looks like it got imported from a ps3 game

looks like polish witcher

Not sure doing kcd combat in third person works too well here. In theory it’s fine but just looks crustier to me.. it’s pre-beta though and I’m enjoying more decent single player games after what felt like eons of shite.

>>713294506
>>713294867
Idk how but kcd mogs most of these detailed ue environments despite less sophisticated tech and details
It feels real as well as painterly at time
Just like rdr 2

>>713295356
Kcd combat doesn't work in first person either.
They showed keep it simple and snappy really

>>713296531
Also they totally copied witcher for most things
Definitely trying to make a spiritual successor

>>713295001
YES it looks like polish polish witcher

wait so is there a dead rising type timer on the games story? its says 22 days left to save you family. I cant see that going down well with normies.

>>713297379
Timer only moves when you something significant (Major, minor quests)
I think they said that

https://youtu.be/ro8psdfcxJE?t=1142
those boss attacks kek... this combat system is beyond salvaging.

>>713293823 (OP)
like I get it, its not even beta but this looks like an early prototype. no way this is coming next year. plus it seems extremely bland

>indication that game will be shit 9/10 times

>choose wisely you can only pick one for your rpg
>Good real time combat
>Bad combat but every other rpg being great

Man they still can't figure it out huh? How to have progression with satisfying combat

>>713297948
>Hud?
Huh?
System shock had hud it was good
Same for kcd

>>713297971
RPGs can't have good combat

>>713298112
Why not?
Why is it so hard to mix dark souls or dragons dogma, for honour with something like dragon age, witcher or kcd

>>713298076
compass = cancer
bring back minimaps and shove it in a corner not bloat the upper middle of the screen for no reason
>system shock
one of the worst examples of UI design. shit's just cluttered, and when you think about it, none of it is necessary when you are exploring a bunch of hallways.
>kcd
compass works in this game because the game world is "horizontal". most of the time, there is nothing important where the compass is, so its not distracting. still, it'd be better without it. just open the map if you need directions.

>>713298405
Asian devs and euro devs have very different design philosophies

its just like witcher 3 and thats not a good thing

>>713298770
Yeah i would personally prefer
Opening the menu to see the destination and your position.
But I also understand why games do that because it's really hard to design a game with many land marks you can see from afar (er)
You just have to train yourself to look at the road and only use map when confused

>>713298858
Why not? Witcher 3 was fun?

>>713293823 (OP)
>you can skip the whole game and go straight for the final boss
kino

>>713299257
>time trial so you never gonna beat it without exploiting bugs
nice gimmick thoughbeitever

I'm pretty sure one of my uncles is a vampire. He lives like a hermit in a big mansion in the countryside and looks very young for his age and he never goes out and does anything. He just stays in his mansion all the time. He never seemed to have any job but always had money and he has no wife or kids.

>>713294024
>but a good guy vampire who hunts other vampires!
you can ally with certain vampires too if you want

>>713293823 (OP)
have they just run out of good names for video games? is it just impossible to have a good name any more? they're just all taken?

>>713301415
>have they just run out of good names for video games? is it just impossible to have a good name any more? they're just all taken?
What's wrong with the name?

>>713301415
i don't see anything wrong with it

i don't know what people are complaining about, i like the way the game looks, comfy central european medieval town

>>713293823 (OP)
>vampire wticher 3

yeah I'd play it

>>713301415
>vampire game
>has a vampire name
What's wrong with it?

>>713301850
More promising than TW4 lmao

>>713294024
You don't like Blade, anon? What's the problem here?

>>713299143
while witcher 3 is great it will be over 11 years old by the time this releases. this looks like they took that game and made it bland

>>713302516
i like witcher 3 but the mechanics here look way more complex than in the witcher 3

>>713302824
Doesn't always mean more fun/better. The combat looks a bit jank, similar to KCD

https://youtu.be/xogrMhXjD-o?si=WTfVeZoJQkfG0lLa
https://youtu.be/ZOGIggCqfAc?si=QPP2Y2FYAu3hYKTc
The music is so good man

>>713293823 (OP)
a lot of good stuff, though the combat animations in general and some textures like the blood magic in that last fight look really rough

>>713293823 (OP)
>church is le bad
>main character is named ((Coen))
grim

>>713305058
Vampires took over the Church

>>713305058
church isn't le bad, the vampires conquered the city and they're trying to force their vampire cult on the inhabitants
coen=cohen, also it's a name not a surname

>>713293823 (OP)
I dont understand. Devs make a big deal about leaving their old company to start anew, yet the first thing they make looks like the exact same shit they were making beforehand. This is just The Witcher.

>>713306498
Non pozzed Witcher

>a vampire named ((coen))
dunno how i feel about this, the game looks good rn though, im def more hype for this than whatever the fuck theyre shitting out for the next witcher at cdpr. hopefully crimson desert drops soon and holds me over til this releases

>>713305954
Doesn't matter, it's the symbolism that's important
>Church bad Coen good
Pick a lane and stick with it.

>>713307636
>>713307227
coen doesn't mean cohen, it means conrad, it's german
you are brown

>>713294024
Edgy

>>713293823 (OP)
Zero chance that I will support a Polish developer. Those fuckers always go completely woke if they become too successful and the studio gets too large to fit in a garage. It is best to just pirate their games and hope that they stay small.

>>713293823 (OP)
meh. this just makes me want a new Legacy of Kain game. they couldnt come up with anything better than this for a vampire game? even comes with witcher....vampire vision.

>>713294397
assured of course.

>>713294405
hope its not too large and more vertical. Witcher 3 had you fucking all over the place.

>>713303129
They are good, but still haven't surpassed the GOAT of Blood and Wine for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUH25sQmOOQ

>>713308519
Not that version, this one, actually: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVgEdvez8dk

>>713294748
>He is half vampire
So he only has 50% vampire HIV instead of 100%.

Uh... ok.

>>713308013
The devs of Dawnwalker literally left CDPR to form their own studio because of shit like pic related

>>713298787
Euros seem to think trying to turn everything into a fucking HEMA(historical Euro martial arts)sim the way to go. Fuck that, the frogs figured out this was lame and outsourced to Korea.

>>713293823 (OP)
>no loli vampire

>>713293823 (OP)
>that combat
thanks, i hate it
never been a fan of those overly complex direction based combat systems

anyway, it looks way too unfinished to be shown, the UI is godawful

>>713299338
based

>>713308691
Not true at all. One of them, actually, the one leading Rebel Wolves iirc had an investigation going against him for abuse and shitty behavior. He left and his underlings, some of them, went with him. To be fair, the investigation concluded that there was nothing wrong, but he still left, which to me is a sign that bad things happened.

>>713302167
NTA. Blade is actually cool this Eurocuck protag isnt.

>>713299338
He sounds like a powerful ventrue. I would be wary of him, anon.

>>713294506
thats 100% fake and made for the presentation, nothing blends there together, they had the city made so they just surrounded ith with random mountains
them going "you can go anywhere you see" is just a joke, maybe when its finished

>>713294024
Some anons always trying to ice skate uphill

>>713306498
most devs know how to do only one type of game and that's actually good IF they're actually good at it. this looks really bland. the KCD combat made me lose interest.

>>713293823 (OP)
Looks witcher, loved witcher.

>>713308013
This but any developer. Even if they are based, if you spend money on them and their next game is woke garbage you've funded it.
Learned my lesson from KCD

>>713308901
>To be fair, the investigation concluded that there was nothing wrong, but he still left, which to me is a sign that bad things happened.

>we investigated ourselves, and found we did nothing wrong
Cyberpunk crunch was infamous, a lot of people left CDPR
Him being the guy in charge was obviously one of the pushers for toxic and abusive work culture

Looks good, will probably pick it up day one, as long as they don't do some gay ass buy X for 3 days early access

>>713308013
Yep. Muh "based Eastern European studio" is a complete myth. They will just take your money and good will and then use it against you. I can't blame anyone for refusing to support that.

Just look at Vavra did to the KCD fan base, as another anon pointed out. Fucking prick.

meh

>>713306616
I will now buy your game

>>713308753
