Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (new From Software game)

[Black Angel]

DS/Bloodborne popamole.

Loss of RPG elements makes me sad but at the end of the day all I want in a From game is great level design and immershun setting. I can deal with low-IQ systems.

I only worry about the blocking/stamina depleting shit. Does it mean all mobs and bosses are sword wielding humanoids (didn't watch the spoiler videos). Coz the block-block-block mechanics for humanoids looked fucking annoying in Nioh.

I'll try it (Gamefly), but with no SunBros to help me out, I'll probably quit and return it early. I'm not much of a "boss fighter", sadly.

I'm in the same boat - I'm stalled on Bloodborne at the moment because there seem to be no more bros left playing the game to help out.

I did see a Sekiro video though where the guy mentioned he was able to run by one boss and stealth kill another though so there's probably hope for us.

I'm not a Dark Souls fan nor do I like the games. I just love riling you people up lol, it's so fucking easy.

Needless to say DS games weren't RPGs either so GTFOH with that bullshit. Only RPGs that From's ever done were the King's Field games, which are objectively better than DS/Bloodborne popamole.

Have you actually played the King's Field games. They are even less RPG like than the Souls games. No character creation. No free distribution of stat points, other than some limited stat increases gained through items. And thereby nothing like different classes, other than some moment to moment variation depending on what gear is being used. Souls games take a lot from earlier Zelda games, but really King's Field are more in line with the Zelda style Adventure Action something genre than they are real RPGs. And I like the KF games a lot fyi, but saying they are "more RPG than Souls games" is just dumb.

It's about time they stop remaking the same game every year (has it really been 10 years) and do something new for a change.

Sullynathan, are you really going to have any fun with the game, if you are spoiling yourself all the bosses before playing? Just curious

If it's as long as previous souls games, then I only spoiled 3 boss fights and one beginning location. It's mostly negligible. Of the 3 boss fights, only one has been shown till completion while the others have only shown cutscenes.

I don't know if ever realized this, but Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 are just King's Field with a third person camera and better combat.

Pretty new and pretty late to the whole DS party but Sekiro looks bomb, too

Is it me, or did they budget the animation department?

Maybe they didn't want to show advanced skills or something idk, but most of the kills and moves are all the same, repeated over and over.

 

[Matador]

Even the thumbnails and gifs are too spoilery for me. Quitting this thread until release, see you soon.

it looks like they are keyframing animations by hand instead of mocaping.

Muhzaki wants to make Battle Royale

"There’s always the possibility," Miyazaki says. "These games are definitely fun. And we’re interested in the patterns they are taking. If we did it, it might be a bit different! But we’re definitely interested and there’s definitely that possibility in the future. We’d love to take a crack at them some day."

Armored Core:BR confirmed for next game.
