Pubic demo when

I was just about to make a thread but you beat me to it. I can definitely say that this game is going to be awesome. Combat looks really smooth and fast with a lot of cool looking weapons. I think this has potential to be the best out of China's recent action games.

>soulsreddwit
I'm tired.

ENOUGH WITH THE SOULSCLONES. FUCK FROMNIGGER FOR EXISTING.

>>716499161
This isn‘t soulsshit so it could actually be good. Khazan was a step in the right direction but it still had souls faggotry like corpse runs, respawning enemies, estus etc

>>716498647 (OP)
Didn't this come out yesterday or the day before

Ban on violent videogames when? I'm tired of seeing weapons of war, blood and gore. Swords and death. No thanks!!

I have chink Souls clone fatigue

Which ones of the new soulslike are actually good?
I dropped Wukong after the first boss, Lies of P at the quarter mark, but I finished all fromsoft games. I guess I liked Nioh 1 and 2, and some of the 2d games like Blasphemous, Nine Sols and Salt and Sanctuary.

>>716499361
I still need to try khazan but if combat is half as fun as nioh 2 I'll enjoy it

>>716499430
Khazan

>>716499161
>>716499274
It's not a Souls game. They're trying to emulate PS2 action games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCClGv4MNDA

>>716499430
You'll like Khazan if you're a Nioh fan.

>>716499630

Trick question, none of them are.

Looks fun though.

>>716499747
>>716499630
You better be right and not just shilling another dogshit stamina consuming turn based soulsslop

>>716500173
Devs forgot how to make fun action games. We ain't getting a new successor. Mayne ng4 will be good but who knows

>>716499630
Looks more like Sekiro with Batman Arkham elements rather than any PS2 action game. Maybe it looks a bit like Nanobreaker I guess.

>>716499630
This should be obvious to any older gamer looking at the combat but nowadays we have people that will call absolutely any kind of action game a "soulslike", so long as it has a lock-on and respawing enemies via checkpoint. As somebody that like both action RPGs (including From's games) and pure "hack n slash" games, I still hate how people view "soulslike" as a genre.

>>716498647 (OP)
What do you think the next chink cloneslop wave will be? They still are in the souls clone wave, do you think this will change in the next years?

>>716498647 (OP)
sorry this is a wuchang board

>>716498647 (OP)
>over the shoulder camera
DOA

>>716500491
Is that the team ninja game or the monkey game

>>716499378
Yeah this looks almost exactly like that wuchang game the only way to tell them apart is that wuchang has a woman protagonist and this has a dude.

>>716500612
Got it, thanks

>>716500265
There is no stamina system.

>>716500394
I don't really see any bamham influences. It screams Sekiro+MGR to me. I'm cautiously optimistic.

>>716500663
Looks more bamham and sekiro/from to me because protagonist attacks and movements seem really focused on 1v1 combat, whereas action games like MGR and ps2 action games the player character usually have a good degree of AoE to their moves and attacks that can sweep up several enemies at the same time.

>>716500663
>There is no stamina system.
Even better. Looks nothing like the ps2 games you claim but I'll keep an eye on it

>>716500545
Wo Long is the Team Ninja game, Black Myth is the monkey game, Wuchang is the new chinese game with the lady protagonist that just came out yesterday or something

>>716498647 (OP)
>Yet another chink souls/sekiro clone
Holy fucking shit get new material

>>716500173
I think some of you guys need to go back and watch some combat footage of DaS1 and DeS. Combat pacing and aggression is completely different and you're not imputing face button combos either. I really think the main thing is just the lock-on at this point, if the game has a lock-on then it's going to be called "soulslike" no matter what. It absolutely does look adjacent and like it does take some influence from From's games but this is looks like it's leaning more towards fast paced aggressive combat. Sekiro or BB would be a somewhat closer comparison but definitely not DeS, DaS1-3, or ER.

Lost Soul Aside is also finally releasing this year. Not sure about it though. It's full on DMC/Ninja Gaiden, but they added a stamina system to it for some reason.

>>716498647 (OP)
Looks cool. I'm glad that the combat animation is just as intense as the initial trailer.
What hypes me up more than anything is that the movement is fluid, yet has certain weight to it. This is something that all three Dark Souls games and Warframe lack, despite having a big melee focus, still feel floaty.
Another good thing is the hitstop, the hitstop duration is perfectly adjusted. A very split second and just a tiny bit longer for heavy attacks/blocks, this keeps the combat smooth. Space Marine 2 suffers from hitstops being too long.
Still don't like how weapons cleave/phase through targets in modern melee, but I guess considering the genre, it's not something too important.

>This is something that all three Dark Souls games and Warframe lack, despite having a big melee focus, still feel floaty.
Dark Souls 1 has a lot of heft to it. Dark Souls 2 is very floaty, and so is Dark Souls 3 to some extent, but Dark Souls 1 feels very slow, methodical and bulky.

>>716500173
They really haven't said this at all

I grew up from Soulslop and chinkslop

>>716501632
I don't know why saying something positive makes my post "chat gpt" but I didn't use that. I simply think the game looks good.

Usual suspects that cant buy games calling is a souls clone

>>716502019
Where did they say it? i keep hearing that they did and i've never seen a direct quote

>>716501872
I also have 80-ish hours of Dark Souls 2 on my X360. DS3 is way faster than DS1, and all the hits feel less impactful.

>>716501929
Then you are a retard. It's unreal shit.

>>716501720
I don't mean the "speed", rather, the minute details of acceleration/deceleration and mastery in animation blending all played together. In OP's video, the character leans a bit towards their running direction, which adds a lot of "sense" into animation, whereas in DS1, I don't know how to articulate it, but the character is like an animation render placed in the world, turning corners looks very weird.

>>716501729
Combat looks to be a similar situation as Nioh or Khazan. It's an action RPG that takes some influence from From's games but has faster paced combat that's more rooted in older hack n slash action games. So having different combo paths via heavy/light is one thing that I see. It won't appeal to Ninja Gaiden or DMC purists but it's obviously going to filter people expecting something exactly like DaS1.

>>716502408
Looks real to me, champ.

>>716502184
>DS3 is way faster than DS1
And DS1 is no authority om how Souls games should play. Dark Souls 3 was specifically designed to closely resemble Demon's Souls
>and all the hits feel less impactful.
No they don't, quit talking about shit you don't understand. Dark Souls 3 introduced actual histop, aimpunch and literally created the foundation of Sekiro and Elden Ring respective stagger systems

When is this supposed to come out?

>>716498647 (OP)
remember when they said this isn't a souls game?

>>716503361
The player also has that yellow "stance" bar. Loses a tiny bit for blocking and a lot for taking damage, gain it back by doing the shadow parry, I think? Not sure how it plays out in the real game.

Very Wo Longy parryslop, even has red attacks with super ebin counters. But no levelling and loot it seems

>>716503361
Yellow seems to go down while guarding, but he keeps blocking even at empty yellow so idk

>>716503714
Go on then, what about this makes it a soulslike?

>>716503361
I think it might be that yellow bar that's used for defense, I'm not sure if it's fully like a normal stamina bar because it looks like attacks aren't draining it.

Looks like a action game to me, last of checked souls didn't invent 3rd person games

>>716503860
Dark Souls invented third person action games
Ninja Gaiden is a soulslike
Hope that helps

>>716503860
Uhmmmm you can lock on and it has a parry

>>716504563
I still love DoD and I'm hoping for a port. But yeah, this is one reason why I never considered "soulslike" a genre and this is coming from somebody that loves From's modern games. There was nothing wrong at first when people started using "soulslike" to simply describe a game that's like DeS or DaS, but the way people have started to view it as a genre is simply annoying. From did not invent a lot of what they did, they simply made a cool action RPG that was heavily rooted in dungeon crawling. Other action game devs took note of some design choices they made which is great but From really didn't do anything unique enough to create a genre. I remember there being interviews where Miyazaki himself was confused and didn't think they made a genre but that was a long time ago and I don't know if his views on that has changed at all.

>I think it might be that yellow bar that's used for defense, I'm not sure if it's fully like a normal stamina bar because it looks like attacks aren't draining it.
Now that I'm revisiting old tutorial vids, the yellow bar is called "Sha-Chi". Most special actions (combos, secondary cannon/bow charge, concentrate mode, etc.) use it.
This bar seems to have a "buffer" behind it which can be recovered with perfect parries. While Shadow Step is another different input combination to avoid killer moves.
There's more, but that's the gist of it.

>dungeon crawling.
Deep Down never ever, anon.

>>716504563
Disingenuous nigger
Dawn of Dreams camera is nothing like Souls games and Onimusha games have completely different progression and mechanics
OPs game is clearly inspired by Souls games and the lock on actually works like it does in Souls games

>>716505513
Yeah, that makes sense. I think I saw some offensive actions using it but not like the basic normal attacks.

>>716505138
How the hell does that look like a "trash failed prototype"? Be specific.

>>716505704
Anon do you think target lock on is some kind of unique thing or what
Anyway, I'm saying PBZ is actually closer to old PS2 action games than SoulsShit. Like using weapon combos similar to using special elemental swords in Demon Siege and having "perfect" parry system.
>>716506178
You are trying to speak with someone who is not arguing in good faith. They aren't actually interesting in discussion, they are just trying to "win". The only way forward from here for them is to double down and hurl more insults, because their ego doesn't allow them to back down.

On and on an on, the combat is fast, but everything else is a copy, you can tell it’s a souls clone just by the way every enemy moves and the way the camera locks on to them
Kys faggot

I see those red burst counters mr phantom

>>716506520
China has never made a good game and if you think otherwise youre a moron

I'll play Wuchang instead cause it has actual exploration. I don't give a single fuck about combat in these Souls games.

>>716498647 (OP)
This looks pretty fucking cool, a whole lot better than Wuchang

looks amazing

>>716506567
doesn't have souls :^) you know the currency
Also, it has more than one weapon so it shits all over sekiro by default

>>716506461
>Anon do you think target lock on is some kind of unique thing or what
The way camera, attacks and weapon handling works is very specifically drawn from Souls games, yes. On the contrary, if the game was inspired by DMC, like the dev claimed, lock on/soft lock on would be decoupled from a free floating camera, like it is in actual DMC/Ninja Gaiden game, where attacks specifically are largely reliant on lock on instead of it being an optional mechanic to autotune camera orientation.
It's hilarious how mindbroken you are that Souls games are a huge influence and devised efficient

>>716506567
Can you point to where checkpoints respawn enemies?

>>716498647 (OP)
I'm so tired of ch*nese games

>>716507006
Like 98% of the mechanics in this phantom blade game would not exist and would not be the way they are without souls games, stop arguing with pedantic retards lmao

>>716507343
You haven't played a single one

>>716507006
it's only partly inspired by DMC and seems to mainly be pace wise, idk why so many people are acting like the dev is claiming this is 100% a DMC clone or something

>>716506567
>>poise system from sekiro
>>>weapon and item switching system ripped straight from souls games
You are mistaking it with Posture.
Regarding "poise", old games had that too, way before Souls games, just saying.
>souls clone
at this point shouldn't it be a Sekiro-clone?

>>716506567
Deathblows are essentially just Obliteration Techniques from NG with a slightly different nuance. The exact way this sha-chi system works will likely have it's own nuance compared to Sekiro's poise. We don't know how many cut-scenes the game will have and what kind of development the MC will or won't have. We do know it's a fixed guy with a name though and not a character creator. Stuff like weapon switching and item switching is superficial, who cares if it's on the d-pad like Souls. If you're going to count that as significant then you should count that the game has face button square/triangle attacks as significant as well. And really anon, ladders? Did From now invent ladders and shortcuts as well? Have you ever played a first person dungeon crawler before? Despite all this, the game absolutely does take some influence from From's games, I won't deny that, but it looks like it has a lot of other influences going on as well.

Even the dev seem to be sick of this genre warring

>>716507546

>>716507006
I don't get where this is going other than that we all agree on PBZ, Souls, and Onimusha 4 having similar lock-on?
I never played or mentioned DMC in my posts so you clearly are mistaking me for someone else.

>>716507447
I have and therefore I have played all of them

>>716508083
I agree with this, "genres" should just be broad categorizations. I hate the idea that games are "formulas". You make a game and you look at things you like from a variety of different games but the end result shouldn't be something that's exactly like the other games down to every tiny detail. The goal should simply be to make a fun game and not worry so much about genre.

>>716508418
I'm somehow more confused

>>716507546
Let's see
Devil May Cry
>No aerial combat
>No style switching
>No "rage" for enemies
>No jump iframes
Resident Evil 4
>No shooting
>No tank controls
>No grenades
>QTEs
Dark Souls-Sekiro
>Stagger system based on cumulative poise damage rather than binary on/off superarmor states
>Deflects and iframed dodges and deathblow system that activates based on stagger punish
>You unlock pieces of map by hittung checkpoints from which you respawn. You kick down ladders and unlock shortcuts
>Lock on system that binds your camera and makes your movement relative to your lock on direction
Damn... i wonder why people are calling this game Soulslike

>>716508691
>other than that we all agree on PBZ, Souls, and Onimusha 4 having similar lock-on?
If you think that you are genuinely retarded or never played those games

>>716508867
I don't know why anyone would care enough to type this out, seems a pointless argument

>>716508867
>>No style switching
Anon.. you might want to leave this point out..

>>716508991
Neither of us have played Phantom Blade Zero. Yeah.

>>716509023
Yeah, it's pointless because it's blatant that Phantom Blade Zero dev is tsundere for Souls games
Or maybe he cam trick hack and slash tards into buying a Souls game to stick it to souls games. That would be the funniest shit

>>716509087
>weapons are styles
Uhh

>>716509087
>Doesn't know what style in DMC is

>>716509179
It makes perfect sense for a dev to want to correct misconceptions about their game to avoid people going into it with the wrong expectations and getting disappointed.

>>716500830
Someone like PS2 Kratos sure spams aoes, but Raiden and Ryu Hayabusa are as 1v1 focused as the souls guys

>>716508418
So it's an re4 lite, souls like (lite) that is much faster and more like ninja gaiden, dmc while simultaneously thematically being similar to resident evil and silent hill but according to the devs genre labels are pointless stereotypes so let's just forget they said any of this

>>716498647 (OP)
Fucking finally somebody's using RotR parry system where you can parry even during an attack, was it so fucking hard?
This looks miles better than all the soulsclones that came out this year.

Genre autism astounds me

Where the half naked bitch MC?
Don't they know it's the meta now?

>>716509340
I guess Vergil is a Souls character since he can't switch styles

>>716509881
DARK is literally in his style!

>>716509867
You play the ugly bastard and every boss is a cute girl you violate after beating them

>>716509881
And Nero is literally Sekiro as he only has one weapon, grappling hook, and gadgets (and Isshin's gun)

>>716509291
By that definition, the game doesn't have Styles selection like DMC at all, rather, combos are tied to the weapons which can be chained like DMC. This makes perfect sense to me, considering that other anons have already mentioned the game was inspired by many different things, including DMC weapon switching combos, only a small part of DMC, I agree.

>>716509881
>>716510246
See>>716508867

Something about the camera, movement, long start-up/recovery time on attacks, lack of music, bosses, and UI (or whatever you'd call stuff like the health/stagger bars) really does make it look like a souls style game tho. I really don't understand why they did it all like this if they didn't want people to think it's a souls style game.

>>716498647 (OP)
This actually heavily reminds me of Wo Long Fallen Dynasty from a glance. The combat seems to have the same flow where you parry parry parry a combo then do some attacks/magic (I dunno if there will be some resource that you build up by parrying that you then use to power up attacks) then the enemy glows red and you parry their super attack, then you break their posture and do a combo/finisher, repeat.
It does seem to have a much higher budget and every boss super attack seems to have a unique parry animation if you parry it as opposed to just 2-3 generic ones and it looks much cleaner in general.
Could be fun. I liked Wo Long and if it's just the same game but better then I'm all for it. But it's definitely a souls-like or souls-lite or nioh-like, whatever you want to call it. Not really a classic PS2-3 era action game.

>>716498647 (OP)
>more chink sekiro-souls slop
I'm just not interested about something that is completely unoriginal, nor do i care about what is described together as mish mash of genres because it still looks like I've seen it before. I'd rather post pictures of a severed head of Xi Jinping.

>>716508867
Awww, stop crying cutie :3. From absolutely invented iframes and checkpoints and lockon!

There are no deathblows, the fatass boss just falls on his ass for a punish window and gets killed by depleting his hp. And Sekiro copied deflects from MGR.

>>716509403
>Ryu Hayabusa
bullshit. NGB is built around 1v3 encounters and even when attack queue rules are used, all other enemies will threaten with projectiles.
and while the dragon sword is focused on 1v1, every other weapon has decent or amazing CC options, with the standout being lunar.

Speaking of NG, I played it on the OG XBox and paid attention to the puzzles and exploration way more than the combat
Is that weird? I remember being hardstuck at that odd 3-chamber water reservoir in some kind of European city.

>>716498647 (OP)
I understand getting tired of this stuff, but desu it's probably going to be a solid 7/10, maybe even an 8 if they made combat really tight.
China is the world's largest consumer market, and is very underserved when it comes to vidya, so anytime someone figures out a type of game that will sell in China expect to see like 10 clones and iterations release over the next few years.

Fucking retard, you never played Ninja Gaiden or MGR.

>UTs hit one guy at a time
Did you even play the game? In NGB every weapon UT besides dragon sword is either an AOE or like flails is designed to kill two enemies.
And even the DS can hit multiple enemies with ET.

>>716511830
I don't know why but it sure seems like UE5 makes everything brown and samey
or maybe all the free assets are brown and samey

>>716511665
>Even UTs hit one guy at a time
Never got past the first level award

>>716512027
It's the shit lighting and shit textures, everything looks like muddy shit.

Why are chink devs only able to make anime gacha and souls (with a bit of nier and dmc) clones?

>>716511284
>there are no death lows
Except there are deathblows, every enemy gets deathblowed in the gameplay trailer

>>716511880
Nioh trannies say they aren’t because you can do autistic combos against enemies that just tank every combo and kill you in 3 hits while you’re doing said combo

>>716498647 (OP)
Looks alright. Still looks too soulslike for my liking. I'm kind of done with soulslikes. Lost Soul Aside has more of my attention right now.

>>716498647 (OP)
>it's cool and okay for the Chinese to do it but when the West or Japan does it I yawn!
>ALL HAIL THE CHINESE ERA!

>>716513192
because they know that westoids will stupidly throw their money at it. It's like all chink restaurant food are bathed in msg and gutter oil while their home cooking barely uses any oil and condiments.

>>716499630
true it's not a souls game. it's a sekiro clone

>>716513889
>their home cooking barely uses any oil
@grok is this true?

>>716513515
No anon, they kill YOU. I dodge and continue cumming

>>716503714
>play any genre or consume anything long enough and you are gonna burn out tired of it
but don't let anyone know that bro

>>716513515
>3 hits
you mean 1 hit or 2 if you spec into heavy gear.

This game literally has Soul.

Anyone else tired of healing potions in actions games.
Also running around looking for health crates like in most PS2 game was annoying.
Just let me gain health back from attacking or killing enemies.

>>716515039
This is a soulslike, your estus flask refill at bonfires.

>>716509403
>Raiden and Ryu Hayabusa are as 1v1 focused as the souls guys
You did not play MGR and NG.

>>716513515
If only there was a way to put them in a stagger-able state...

>>716498647 (OP)
looks easy as fuck

Why does every single Chinese game play the same

>>716506696
>China has never made a good game
wrong

>>716518234
Have you played Phantom Blade yet?

>>716503714
another retarded cat fag

>>716504126
>no response
as expected

>>716506567
It having a few aspects of Sekiro makes it a soulslike? Lol

>>716506696
Wuchang easily proves you wrong. My favorite soulslike without question

>>716519304
sekiro isn't even soulslike to begin with

>>716508083
Called out this entire board of retards lol

>>716498647 (OP)
this is genuinely indiscernible from that wutang feathers game or the black wukong game or the ghost of tsushima game or the elden ring game or the stellar blade game
WHAT THE FUCK are they even cooking anymore?

>>716519523
Anything to convince yourself to not enjoy games

>>716508867
What exactly are you trying to prove? That if it happens to be similar to Sekiro its a bad game? Seeing as how Sekiro is Fromsofts most polished and well crafted game, I don't take that as a bad thing anyway lol

>>716498647 (OP)
I dont want to be a samurai in feudal asia again

>>716512027
Wuchang looks gorgeous. Their lighting, foliage, specular highlights etc absolutely destroy Wukong. Very similar games in style and levels, but Wuchang is far superior. Surprised It's not getting the praise it deserves.

>>716498647 (OP)
So sick and tired of these Souls-like games. All of them are the same fucking shit. You just walk around killing anything that moves and that is all there is to it.

>>716519523
You might be blind if this game looks the same to you as all the others you mentioned.

hes really trying to stand out by posting cats

>>716498647 (OP)

They might be cooking.

It's actually inspired by MGR. Sekiro doesn't have dial-a-combo >>716499747 - no Souls game does. DMC doesn't do that either.

It's predominately Platinum and Ninja Gaiden thing. And seeing all the parries that move you to the side (like MGR's Defensive Offense), non-aerial combat, QTE stealth takedowns, QTE low HP executions AND the camera position, it's safe to say that it's taking notes from MGR first and foremost.

Hoping for a playable demo at ChinaJoy. I'm pretty sure they said there would be a playable demo for everyone at some point.

My main problem for this game is that it looks so easy. Are they on a modded playthrough or what? Seems like they're receiving hardly any damage.

>>716521856
It's a dev playing and parrying everything. They're fan of Ninja Gaiden so I'm hoping they bring in more aggressive enemies and cheap off screen bullshit. They appreciate old video gamey stuff like bosses with insta-kill moves. Only showcased one that does that though.

>>716521856
I don't know how you guys gauge difficulty from footage like this. How do you know the person playing isn't just really good? I think having footage from a more skilled player usually makes the game look better but I remember seeing footage from a previous demo where the person playing died a lot. I also don't know if they said anything about difficulty modes or not but now I'm curious.

What the bar below the health even is? Is it his ''posture''? Or a mana bar? It's not stamina

>>716521414
>like MGR's Defensive Offense
that's a dodge you retard.
you know what the actual defining trademarks of MGR are? delimbs, perfect parry counter, blade mode and to a lesser degree DO.

>>716522435
it's a meter for special attacks. though it seems to reduce on hit so maybe it does double duty as a posture bar like in wo long?

>>716521856
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSmQdkyP_xE
Here's some recent footage I found and you can clearly see the guy having some trouble right at the start. The video in the OP is likely a dev or someone that's really familiar with the game.

Here's an older one that shows some of the controls in a tutorial. Lots of light/heavy combo paths it seems.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdxNeF_Ps48

>>716522435
It's "Sha-Chi". You use it for combo attack strings that use triangle and also for guarding attacks. Normal attack strings that only use square don't consume it. It looks like the special attacks on L2 use a different resource as same with the Phantom Edges which are like sub weapons on R2.

>>716498647 (OP)
thank god it's deflectslop I was getting a bit tired of rollslop

>>716498647 (OP)
this shit better run better than wuchang

>>716523248
Hmm. It's also possible the devs are playing on the easier difficulty. The guy in your video is playing on extreme mode.

>>716522095
>How do you know the person playing isn't just really good?
attacks from enemies barely seem to be doing any damage

>>716525737
Yeah, that might be it as well. It's in Chinese but I think that screen at the beginning is a difficulty select. Now that I think of it, I remember seeing that screen in English a while back but I don't feel like digging through videos to find it but I'm 99% sure it's a difficulty selection. I'm not too worried about it, I think the game will be plenty challenging.

>>716525737
>extreme mode.
apparently it's only going to be available after you beat the game once, such a bummer

It's nioh sekiro which is pretty exciting. don't get many AAA sekiro type games. zero actually.
You turn off the brain a bit and react to hits but it's fun. more fun than soulslikes are right now.

>>716499430
Lies of P is souls down to a T.
delayed attacks, reactionary gameplay. It's better than anything fromsoft made since bloodborne excluding sekiro.

>>716526669
I looked over the video again and he doesn't get hit much but I see what you mean. But looking at the other video I posted, you can see the guy get hit more and he comes close to dying. There definitely is difficulty modes and we don't know what difficulty the OP video is on. From what I can tell, it looks like a game where enemies will do smaller hits to you and whittle you down more. So if you're fighting a group, each individual hit may not do tons of damage but the faster enemies will be able to hit you more often if you're not good and it'll quickly add up. But I'm sure there's going to be stronger hits that do huge chunks of damage as well but I don't feel like digging through all the footage right now.

>>716501027
>they added a stamina system for some reason
shit, seriously? I was looking forward to it too

>>716527987
Yeah, you can only dodge a certain amount of times and there's a bar that shows that. You have to wait for that bar to recover if you use up all your dodges.

Those ring blades look pretty sick, I won't lie.

>>716498647 (OP)
I'm way past the point where a couple of le cinematic animations impress me and make a game look good for me. I want to see some fucking gameplay systems and this game is yet another basic bitch in that department. As of soulslikes weren't lame enough already, now Devs are starting to cram that shit into pseudo bamham combat and of course with muh deflects thrown in on top

>>716530342
I don't see any pseudo bamham here but what kind of systems do you want?

>>716530435
anything that allows you to manipulate enemies in more interesting ways than a stagger bar. more action games need to look toward beat em ups for inspiration (they won't though because iframe dodge centric combat is easier to design)

>>716530665
I think stagger bars are fine because it doesn't really change the flow of "hit it until it dies". We do know that the game has a jump button but I don't know if there will be launchers or anything like that. I think the systems it is showing look very smooth/good so far but I guess you're right that it doesn't look like there's anything super innovative or that's never been done before.

>all the whining faggots itt
thanks sony for financing this (through the china hero project, if you fags want to see more shit like this visit https://www.playstation.com/en-us/china-hero-project/ ), this shit looks rad, coping pajeets and pctroons itt are coping because their PCs won't be able to run it lmao
sour grapes losers

>>716498647 (OP)
>>716500173
>no juggle
>no air combo
>still a parry slop
>but this time with fancier moves! so that it doesn't looks like soulslop
If I can't get creative with my combo, it's still a soulslop

>>716532769
You've got various triangle/square combo paths, a sub weapon, and a special move for your main weapons so it definitely looks like you can get creative with combos on the ground at least. It looks like both dodging and parrying or going to be important.

>>716498647 (OP)
never heard of it but looks neat. not that i'll trust anything until i can play it myself but will give it a shot.

>>716530665
>more action games need to look toward beat em ups for inspiration
what's really sad is how 3d action games nowadays don't give a shit about spacing and positioning. It's always either iframes or parries.

>>716535216
What do you actually mean by spacing in positioning? I'd argue that both of these are usually still important in most modern action RPGs. It can depend on the game of course but I don't think iframes inherently negate the need for positioning.

>>716518234
umm AKSHUALLY super alloy ranger plays quite differently.

>>716499361
>respawning enemies
Do you think you should be able to just wipe through the game one enemy at a time?

>>716499430
Lies of P and Khazan are some of the best games of the last 15 years.

>>716501891
Name 5 games you consider good right now.

>>716502681
>And DS1 is no authority on how Souls games should play.
Wrong.

>>716535687
enemies taking advantage of their attack ranges and angles.
for example wolves' attack in fight'n'rage outspaces the players jab and they will actively try to stay at a range where they can hit you but you can't hit them.
or signal in SoR4 who will either stay on your lane at far distance to threaten a slide or approach diagonally for a throw.
you really don't see this kind of stuff in modern games and instead all enemies just try to bumrush.

>>716498647 (OP)
this game will be the next wukong. No doubt. It's insane.

>>716537340
There's plenty of enemies across modern action games and action RPGs that zone the player with retreating moves and such. That's a really broad generalization to say they all bumrush you when we're not even talking about a specific game.

>>716526871
>don't get many AAA sekiro type games
Because parry slop is just starting up. This game looks like forgettable souls slop garbage regardless. Since Sekiro and Nioh are of the same DNA of souls slop.

>>716538648
You really gotta stop using the word "slop" anon, nobody can take posts like this seriously.
