Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (new From Software game)

[Wunderbar]

Ah and it's gonna be on PC only on Battle.net, of course.

it's singleplayer only, it'll be on steam.

I hope.

Maybe. Activision could get greedy tho. Plus they've delisted a few of their games from Steam already and all their new games like Black Ops 4 and Destiny 2 are Battle.net only.

 

[praetor]

it will be on Steam because it's in the fucking trailer, you illiterate idiots

Some important parts:

Game development and publishing in Japan and Asia will be handled by From, with Activision handling all other regions. Activision gave a lot of advice regarding many things, including game development.

It means this is not in fact Activision IP or Activition funded product. They are just publishers who will distribute it outside of japan and asia.
Looks like this is first From Software title to be selfpublished.

There was the option to make it a Tenchu game, but Tenchu was originally a series made by many different developers, each with their own characteristics. They thought they would end up imitating them in the end, so they gave up on that.

From Soft itself has been acquired by another Japanese publisher IIRC. They definitely have full creative control and own the IP.

They are owned by the company which also owns the RPG Maker maker - I see synergies.

It might not be an RPG, but I'm not all that disappointed. It does look like a Soulsborne game at first glance, but keep in mind that they were saying their next big game wasn't going to be the same kind of game as Souls. So it's not like they set us up to expect one. Sekiro still looks pretty badass anyways, definitely going to keep an eye on it.

Souls multiplayer is cancer in every regard. Good riddance, now maybe we can have some interesting weapons instead of

You know you can play souls games offline if you want right? They aren't designed around multiplayer and if you think they actually balance weapons around multiplayer you're fucking nuts.

BTW DKS3 has over 200 weapons many uniques, BB has maybe 30, sekiro will probably have a weeb sword and the prosthetic hand thing

if you think they actually balance weapons around multiplayer you're fucking nuts.

Miyazaki stated that “there is no multiplayer, since it is a fixed hero and a fixed class. I removed the restriction imposed by multiplayer.”

Pretty sure weapon balance is one of the restrictions he's talking about.

>remove restriction by adding restriction

OKAY

The upshot of being a ninja with a severed arm you get to replace it with something much more useful — “The Shinobi prosthetic.” Your replacement arm is a ninja multi-tool that gives you a number of useful skills, including a built-in grappling hook to scale buildings and the ability to wield heavy weapons.

Whatever journalist who said there would be no weapon choice along with the lack of RPG elements probably didn't understand.
Just in the short trailer we've seen, we see the playable character use an offhand axe and a trick weapon style deployable shield, although I suspect it's probably not fully a shield and instead used with parry mechanics and might also be a rotating weapon ala Logarius Wheel.

I suspect the katana will be the main weapon in its own class though and thus also the most useful. Doubt we'll see stuff like straight swords, curved swords or greatswords, not like I care, mechanically from a gameplay perspective they're not that different in the souls games either. Since it's highly japanese themed, I would be surprised if we didn't see stuff like naginatas and odachis as heavier weapons.

FromSoft will now exclusively develop RPG Maker games.

Worse, VR games.

stealth shit sounds like decline.
The posture stuff sounds like Nioh enemy stamina system. At least it confirms enemies won't attack you forever and can be manipulated in many ways.

Bullshit, there is no gameplay demonstration in this video.

interview with Miyazaki, translated from japanese.

From Miyazaki interview with GamesTalk:

One of the biggest changes will be to difficulty. Sekiro is published by Activision, who has requested that FromSoftware tone down their famously gruelling approach to challenge. Miyazaki told Japanese site Game’s Talk that his team has taken on the publisher’s principles for “appropriate onboarding.”

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

gruelling my ass

 

[paintinggrey]

No Fashion Souls

At least now without the MP they can add pause.

So this weeb shit is confirmed dead on arrival, good to know. I'll spend my money on Nioh 2.
