>>713324530more like entire game is since you get 30 days to do shit
>>713324480 (OP)Because it's what everyone expected - a very blatant Witcher 3 clone. It's what sets it apart and execution that matter.
>>713324923If it ain't broke don't fix it.

>>713324923Why can't these these games take more after Gothic where every armor and weapon mattered? You don't have to follow the goddamn Diablo formula where you're consonantly replacing gear every ten minutes. Abilities look the same with minute % increments.
>>713324480 (OP)watching this now. that city has serious vizima vibes, but combat looks pretty awkward. trying to blend witcher 3 with kingdom come doesn't seem natural.
>>713325012It ain't broke but it should be
>>713325067because it's the shallowest form of progression that feeds into instant gratification, it's funny because these people are ex-cdpr and should have learned loot was absolute bullshit in w3 since only witcher sets really mattered.
>>713324530>>713324662>>713325319Your mainstream players absolutely hate that shit. I suspect Dead Rising would've been much more popular had it not been timed at its core.
>>713325404It will be fine because time doesn't passes autonomously. Narrator says in the video it's a resource you'll spend and you can see time will pass with one dialog choice. Meaning you'll still get to fuck around exploring the world and advance time only when you want to.
>>713325404they said in the trailer its not a ticking clock so probably it gets pushed forward by events in the game
Oh man, that combat looks like fucking dogwater. We're home, eurojank boys.
>>713325540>>713325553Yeah, like Way of the Samurai 4 for example.
>>713325742Like anon said it really look like trying to implement KC:D combat into a third-person action game. Focusing on your enemies is a bit too much.
>>713324530this is absolute goat ludokino decision
i'm envisioning fable 4 that never was, i'm envisioning multiple questlines, i'm envisioning kinoludo of the highest proportions. polish retards are wasting their time on Dogshitter 4, time for the Whitechads to make an actually decent RPG title
>>713325404>Dead Rising would've been much more popular had it not been timed at its core.Fuck that, that's the best part of the game. That's what makes it unique.
>>713325905Hence the divide. But DR wasn't aiming to be the next big action RPG. It could probably get away with a smaller player base.
>>713324530>>713325895According to the narrator they're also doing the "you can tackle the final boss at any time" from Breath of the Wild.

>>713324923i miss when even simple uis has a little bit of a distinct style
>>713325404Normie fuck here, dead risings timer did indeed initially put me way the fuck off and prevent me from trying it. Later, I learned it was a loop meant to be replayed until you got to the ending, like some shitty modern isekai. That made it a lot more chill since you could devote runs to resources or leveling.
>>713324480 (OP)i lost it when the guy started running vertically and spammed the dishonored blinks like there's no tomorrow. its like flying with cars in san andreas
>>713326157>modern isekaimajoras mask is almost 30 years old
lightning returns is almost 15
>>713324480 (OP)It's a random video drop, anon. More people would have noticed if it was tied to some event.
The dialogue and interactions felt weak and dull, maybe too simple. Doesn't feel at the level of Witcher 3, you could feel the detail and level of craft in every dialogue. Maybe a combination of scene choreography and just richer dialogue.
>>713326365I think the problem is Coen being a goddamn non-entity.
>>713326365monk has a nice looking beard
>>713324530>Deadrising timer KinoI am now interested in your game
>>713324530not a fan but not a deal breaker either depends if I can complete a lot of stuff before the ending
>mix of Witcher 3 and KCD combat
yupp we are never getting a real rpg with good real time combat
also all the environments look uninspiring and has less art style than w3 which is a shame
because designs are solid
>>713324923already played this game before. not interested
>>713327031also i hope they fix the modern looking font
it feels very out of place
at least use new roman times or something
>>713326685>>713326760You have it wrong. It's not a real time countdown. You choose when to advance time as do certain actions.
>>713324480 (OP)KCD gets a pass because its passably historic
Witcher 3 gets a pass because the fantasy world is very fleshed out and there's hotties who want your dick
what excuse does this game have to exist? looks about as generic as possible
>>713324480 (OP)>>713324923Utterly uninteresting, honestly. I enjoy vampires, but the gameplay, the world, the mechanics...nothing looks enjoyable.
>>713327337>what excuse does this game have to exist?what kind question is that
no game really needs to exist
ik world look and seems rather generic but concept and systems seem interesting and they are promising a decent faction system and open ended approach
a lot of people asked for a tight 35-50 hours rpgs with well made quests
>>713327337Its Temu Witcher 4 for people who cant stand the prospect of playing as a female in the real Witcher 4
>>713327536>no game really needs to existit should have some reason to exist if it wants my money
>>713327179ah ok that makes it better if you can control it
>>713327561I think people expecting Witcher from this are going to be disappointed. By the looks of it it's a smaller game focused on managing your time where the final boss is available from the beginning.
>>713327337do you have an excuse to exist?
>>713324923I would complain how you just get one weapon, but you're also a vampire at night fighting with your claws so that's the other weapon you switch to.
>>713324480 (OP)More or less exactly what I expected it to be.
>>713324480 (OP)I haven't heard of it but what a fucking embarrassing name. Sounds like an LLM came up with it. Doesn't at all pass the smell test of something that is trying to be it's own thing and sounds like it belongs on Goodreads as fanfiction from a 14 year old. Don't be shit when you name your games. It matters.
>>713328449if anything it shoudl at least be "Blood of the Dawnwalker", i believe
>>713328743All 3 of the non article words are words that make up FF14 expansion titles assorted in a seemingly random 'cool' order. 2 form one compound word. It's an edgy boy mess. Just call it Storm Dark Demon Lord's Void: The Reckoning and drop the pretense it's anything but a joke of a game at this point.
>>713324480 (OP)Just watched this. That combat looks ROUGH.
>>713324480 (OP)The combat actually looked really good in the first bit with the sword and the active skills
The vampire part combat sucked
>>713324530Based. I hate open world RPGs for never having a decent pacing. Either you get overleveled doing background activities and the game becomes walk in the park, or enemies scale with level, so progression just becomes worthless. Having game limited in time should balance out progression and pacing
>>713324923How the fuck do UI designers still getting paid? At this point just use AI to design you interface.
>>713330912>The vampire part combat suckedI'm getting some horrible Bloodlines claw attack animation vibes.
>>713331402because it works. they figured out the formula and are just sticking to it now.
I think it looks good.
Hope it's successful and we get several sequels.
>>713324480 (OP)It's pretty sad how ex the-witcher devs cant think of anything else to make other than a witcher clone.
>>713324480 (OP)It looks alright. Will give it a pirate.
>>713332001like werent there any ideas they had when making witcher 3 that got cut because they didnt have the time or the director didnt share their vision? its literally just copy and pasted
Blood & Wine bros, we are dining
>>713324480 (OP)I like everything, except generic UE UI.
>>713327031>real rpg with good real time combatSuch thing doesn't exist.
>>713324923I liked more or less everything except for gear. Fuck with this endless colored trash with percentages. It also breaks the in game economy
That gameplay was really whelming. I can forgive some of the animation because it's pre-beta and it can be changed. Just not sure if they can change it to look cooler than what they already have now? Just seems it'll always look weird because of how the lock on works. It might be okay overall but I wasn't really impressed with what was shown.
>>713324480 (OP)This looks like one of those fake UE5 concept games you see on YouTube
>>713324530This is the only interesting thing about this game so far. Otherwise it looks like pure eurojank.
>>713324480 (OP)looked pretty meh, to be honest. they need to work on something, i can't really put my finger on what, but something about it just seemed very meh. maybe the combat could be touched upon? i dunno... somehow just didn't seem very interesting.
>>713330028it's an action rpg with cool atmosphere
>>713332575w3 is shitter hack and dodge while kcd has this lock on directional combat
Already got my vampire fix from V rising thanks
>>713333485trust the plan and euro devs
>>713324480 (OP)Combat looks surprisingly janky and autistic for what is supposed to be a normalfag moviegame, I did not expect this. And there is timed quest too. Ripping off abomination that is Diablo in terms of equipment means they have no idea about rpg mechanics. Overall game looks too autistic for normalfags and not autistic enough for autists. I might check it out years later if I get it from humble/for free/on some -75% sale.
Looks interesting, but they need to change the retarded camera angle.
>>713324923Man I hope clockwork revolution doesn't have this run of the mill ue 5 ui. Their character creator looks soulful so I'm optimistic
>>713334510i am also looking forward to this game
at first i thought it was going to be bio shock infinite with black commies chick
but recent trailer cleared my doubts
>>713334668I have always been optimistic about the game even after the trailer with the black mc. As long as brian fargo and the other old devs are in charge they should be pumping out kino.
Overall, I think it was a really solid presentation.
I think they just need to work on;
>Animations
>Camera Angle
>Music
For the animations, there was some really cool moments in the combat mixed with a weird floatyness. This was extremely apparently when enemies died, but less so during actual combat because it was so far, but it was still clearly there. The change from some animations was too fast and looked somewhat glitchy. And when there were those "parkour" segments, the animations just sorta started and ended without any fluidity.
If they can make the animations flow a bit more, it'll be absolutely top notch for a first time game studio. I will absolutely support them in the future.
Other than that, the Camera Angle was a bit jarring. Not a huge issue, I just think if you're gonna have a third person action game, you need to have it out further. I felt like I was missing a lot because of it.
Lastly, music - I don't remember hearing any, so if there was any, it wasn't impressive. The Witcher 3 music is still played to this day by hundreds of thousands of people. It's comfy and relaxing. Big name streamers often have their music playing quietly in the background just as filler for the quiet parts of their streams and for good reason, it's great music and really adds to the game world. If they can also get some good music like this, I think this will easily be my top game of whatever year it's released.
>>713334970yupp
i was just worried about game having pre established character
tone was decent in the trailer i hope it works out
same for the expanse RPG
>>713324530>30 days timersounds really fun but I hope I can carry my lvl to the next playthrough like DR and Summer Memories
I dont mind that its kcd 1 tier visual jank with animations and assets but man is it blurry
night time streets are entirely filled with smog somehow to add to not seeing anything clearly
>>713335658something about UE just makes it look cheaper than KCD despite the higher quality and more detailed assets
also
camera is too close
lack of colours
game looking too dark in blurry at night itme
>>713335813kcd had a the realism angle as a guide to make the assets look coherent
this studio is making witcher at home and since you have creative freedom they can make dull looking stuff that fits the generic fantasy directive
>>713324480 (OP)>>713324923looks like slop, complete with boring "+10% spell cost reduction/damage/casting speed" skill trees
>>713336191>"+10% spell cost reduction/damage/casting speed" skill treesas opposed to what kinda skill trees
>>713324530Wait really? I might actually get this game now. We need more times hub games and not soulless open world
>>713336293I feel like it might a gimmick to deal with it being an "open world" game but the team has AA budget and the content density isnt there to carry players wondering around aimlessly
>>713336104even the main character looks like a faction npc in all back
like dude have some colors
maybe blue or a yellow thing he wears while he is a human
city looked good but you could feel the grand size and density of something like novigrade or kutten hora
here you can't say the same
hopefully the writing is good and gameplay serviceable
>>713336418the city had a distinct feeling of work in process
the streets were really empty, the buildings were brown beige with no paint. People talking to each other use canned animations that roughly match what they're talking about.
theres these scripted events that happen as you walk by that seem clunky as they start the conversation right as you get to hearing range. You need to have very specific approach to building those kinda events up so they seem natural.
>>713336221ones that unlock new abilities
>the city had a distinct feeling of work in process
>the streets were really empty, the buildings were brown beige with no paint. People talking to each other use canned animations that roughly match what they're talking about.
i think people can look past empty towns and not much npc interaction if the gameplay itself and story/ quests are good
bigger complain is mc looking too generic
>>713335658Settings>Motion Blur: OFF
Motionblur is for consolefags to hide a bad framerate and vsync issues.
>>713333731gonna have a blast playing these well made quests
>>713324480 (OP)Watched it just know and really liked the clean and atmospheric visuals.
If they are no female vampires that look like this, I am not playing !
>>713338024the game has exactly zero feminine beauty in marketing so far
>>713338024There are apparently 3 romance options. A vampire is 100% one of them
>>713324480 (OP)Im not sure about that combat and im not sold on the time limit, but the rest looks great. We havent had a good vampire game in a decade, vampyre was fun, but absolutely ruined by its writing
>>713334510steampunk which is fully goggles and retarded cogs everywhere in tophats really isn't my thing, but I'm happy for you guys. If it toned down the steampunk-ness it would look like a 10/10.
>>713324480 (OP)The slow hema m&b combat clashes a lot with hte za warudo teleporting and special abilities. But looks pretty good.
The limited time quest just indicates that it will be more meaningful content instead of a 150h bandit camp experience.
>>713338769no dumbass. thats not the problem.
>>713338718Annoying, but I lived with it. Not everything has to be included from previous games. Or you'll turn into Bioware with ME3 where half the game was callbacks and minute references.
>>713338868ME3s problem wasn't scope, it was Bioware.
>>713338920it had a lot of problems from EA, bioware leadership and journos
Me3 ending was the thing that kickstarted gamergate as the media collectively jumped to defend it without ever even playing the game.
>>713339290It's not a jab Witcher 3 so much as modern games using the same inventory layout. Someone post it.
>>713340446its not a jab its an observation that has no signifigance
like schizos thinking them seeing patterns means something nefarios when they're just patterns
>>713338068>>713338209i noticed there isn't any showing of women at all, which is weird cause vampire shit generally has beautiful casted women
>>713340695It could be related to how mentally retarded /v/ is whenever women are shown in trailers
like they're intentionally hiding them to reduce the tard chatter
>>713340695Because hagmistress Xanthe is the only female shown so far.
>>713340917>no black vampireyou're not getting that dei money
>>713341071they are all black at heart
>>713341071They have a mongol vampire, you really think we aren't getting a kang?

>>713324923idk how people can complain about this one thing when literally EVERYTHING looks like witcher 3 including the map and its icons, the buildings, the health-bar, the character designs, armor designs. It just looks like a game set in the Witcher 3 world. I mean i will play it but i hope they change some of this stuff, which isn't hard to do
>>713342448That's a big city, i hope it wont feel lifeless (cope)
>>713324530Shills out in full force to tell me how turning a game into a job is good actually
>>713342448yeah it's basically almost a hard copy of it, the UI, the feeling of the town, the town itself, the map, even the combat, you would expect the same devs of the witcher would at least bother to change something after a whole decade but nope wtf
>>713339290why do you have this murlock saved on your pc?
>>713324480 (OP)>set in medieval Europe>bullshit fantasy kingdomhow did poles become so americanized?
>>713338209hopefully the vampire is his sister
>>713324480 (OP)way too early to show it, looks extremly unfisnihed
>>713324480 (OP)It looks like the Witcher with half the budget.
>>713343886Yeah, either they thought this was good enough to show (it wasnt) or they didnt care.
>>713343886Only reason for showing it would be mimicking marketing cycles the likes of CDPR/other big AAA studios do, but they also produce highly polished vertical slices instead of this "pre-beta" material where you can expect everything to be changed between now and release.
>>713343971CDPR early shows are mostly bullshit that looks better than the final game
If this game doesnt end looking much better than what they have shown so far they shouldnt bother
>>713344184I prefer marketing that makes me excited for a game instead "this is jank, I hope they change that key feature asap, that looks shit, Im not going to buy the game if it ships with that"
>>713324480 (OP)It looks fine, but there is no chance in hell that I will support a small Eastern European studio ever again. They will just take your money and your good will and then use it against you. Just look at how hard CDPR and Warhorse fucked us over with woke shit once they got big.
>>713344410at least these two are not amerimutts
>>713324530normoids fear RPG mechanics
>>713324480 (OP)My only complaint is the jank combat and the camera
>>713324530majora mask my beloved...
>>713342517People just misunderstood what TIMED means. It's not Dead Rising real time countdown.
>>713342448More like it's supposed to be taking place in the 14th century fictional Europe. Aesthetics are largely spot on. Witcher simply drew for the sources.
>>713324480 (OP)I think the MC is so.. ugly? or so bland in a way that it made the game looks even cheaper
and also.. NO SEXO WOMEN (XX) (females) (girls)
and also.. it looks so blurry and unreal engine 5โข-y
overall kinda of a letdown, but perhaps the gameplay cycle and story will turn it into a 9/10 ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
>>713325404fuck you zoomer dr1 was great
>>713325404Isn't Persona and Metaphor one of the most popular and mainstream jrpgs? the main story in those games is timed too
>>713327337>very fleshed out and there's hotties who want your dickthe witcher hasn't been that since 1 lol
>>713333432>Otherwise it looks like pure eurojankYou forgot to add that "eurojank" games have been the best (and best selling) games for like 10 years now.
>>713345927all witcher games are extremely distinctive
this feels very derivative as everything you see reminds you of other games but they dont have the feel of a cohesive art direction something like an anime game at similar budgets might have
>>713338718it's obvious roches route was the canon one
>>713345819From what I understood Dawnwalker will be more like those. You have units of time that you get to manage. In the video you can see the confession option would pass time, for example.
>>713346089That's how I understood it too, certain options pass time
>>713344410Same. Very fitting that it looks like a crossbreed of witcher and KCD. Imma torrent it because it looks decent though.
>mc is just young vessimir
>>713343962>>713343971yep, its not good enough for a vertical slice, its not well directed enough, very sloppy and amateurish
now even if final game is ok a lot of people will write it off if they see this
>>713344516??
its pre release, but you only get one chance to make a good impression
>>713346390Im not sure but it seems the mc model has too much microdetail to fit the rest of the games fidelity levels
>>713346390why does his hair look so ass compared to monk's beard?
>>713324480 (OP)looks firmly in the "action rpg" territory but that's not necessarily bad
>>713346391So you're a dumb thirdie. Got it
