This guy is a great Dark Souls 1/2 player who does a bunch of challenge runs and is pretty good at the game. The devs let him stream a bunch of footage from a demo build. He says the combat feels like Dark Souls and he seems pretty positive on it on a quick skim.

There's a ton of never-before-seen stuff from the game here.

sappyday · Oct 17, 2014

Apparently he says to not expect the challenge of Dark Souls.

I just skipped to a point where he says it's not as challenging as Dark Souls but he died quite a bit. This is presumably an earlier area in the game though, so who knows.

Edit: It's also worth noting that he's one of the better DS players out there so the impressions of an average player might be different. Near the end he also says that the different character classes vary in difficulty quite a bit.

Ricerocket · Oct 17, 2014

I watch his stream all the time, great streamer, great DS player.

Dr. Kitty Muffins · Oct 17, 2014

I skipped ahead a bit and , damn, that has "sleeper hit" written all over it.

Banana Aeon · Oct 17, 2014

Well, I'll be waiting for a good Steam sale.

It does look like a Souls-lite game.

Corpekata · Oct 17, 2014

Only skipped around to avoid spoilers but liking what I'm seeing.

drotahorror · Oct 17, 2014

I just randomly clicked about 3 hours in...Looks really good actually.

GorillaJu · Oct 17, 2014

Lobos has great taste in games. Plays all the Souls games, Isaac, doesn't buy the Shadow of Mordor hype, and his favorite game of all time is TLOZ: A Link to the Past.

If he likes this game then I'll buy.

ErichWK · Oct 17, 2014

also lobos is and has been in 3 really fucking good video game cover bands. He does it all! His dark soul's runs are great. His band Mr. GIMMICK IS EVEN BETTER

Kieli · Oct 17, 2014

Yep, I respect Lobos' opinion.

This stream has definitely peaked my interest in this Souls homage. Great graphics. Nice even pace in terms of combat.

Neat.

Gurrry · Oct 17, 2014

enemies need to do more damage than what they currently do

other than that, this game looks legit

Dec · Oct 17, 2014

Rogue was a lot harder to play.

That, and perhaps make their attack animations a bit faster. I find them too lenient at the moment.

Tizoc · Oct 17, 2014

What's the combat like? At work so I can't watch these videos.

NoirVisage · Oct 17, 2014

whelp, i know what I'm watching during my late dinner, this is 5 good hours to convince me its not going to crash and burn HARD.

GTR R35_Supra RZ · Oct 17, 2014

Full gm clocking only at 5gb on PSNs pre-load.

Lionel Richie · Oct 17, 2014

I'm trying my best to be hyped here, but both developers track records are iffy at best. It does look better than I expected.

Misread the topic as Villalobos.

Which is his last name.

Guevara · Oct 17, 2014

Overall that was a good playthrough and extremely helpful

Anticol · Oct 17, 2014

This guy is a pretty good DS player, and the game looks pretty good in my opinion, I probably buy it tbh.

Rhaknar · Oct 17, 2014

I watched a few minutes of that, mainly jumping around every 30mins just to see what the deal was, and it sems its a blatant a Dark Souls clone as Darksiders was a Zelda clone, and I mean that in the best way possible.

But, 59.99€ means its a big fat pass for me (thats actually more than Dark Souls 2, the actually established franchise...lolwhut?)

I kinda "get" (but still hate) big publishers / developers going for the throat with 59.99€ lately, your Ubisofts, your EAs, but this? a relateively unknown game from CI Games (who?), what are they thinking?

edit: oh shit I just checked Steam to see who the dev was and noticed it now costs a much more reasonable 49.99€, thats better at least. If GMG sells it and theres a 25% voucher, I might buy this day 1

I've seen some of Lobos' challenge runs. He's an entertaining dude.

You might also want to lurk the Buy/Sell/Trade thread in the Gaming Community section for people selling Steam keys.

Not everyone has to like every game.

Also your avatar looks like a vagina and anus. I like it.

Totobeni · Oct 17, 2014

Watched few parts.

It seems pretty good, look like a faster souls with more RPG elements and it's own ideas. from the video the combat and animations look very solid as well (and the game seems to run very well) for a studio that made Venetica (I guess the Witcher guys hired many new people for this game) this look like a huge jump on everything. I'm in I think.

Skux · Oct 17, 2014

Animations look great, there's a lot of weight in them.

Yeah I'm totally in. Just gotta make time for it among other stuff.

Yoshichan · Oct 17, 2014

Copy and pasted from other thread:

When I start playing games that I immediately see has lots of game depth, I instantly try to figure out everything before I even start to progress the game. Here's a list of things I'm going to be cleaning out of my depth-backlog as soon as I reach my first enemy that I can force-respawn.

- i-frames on fat/medium/light roll
- i-frames on fat/medium/light jump
- framerate, tearing (PS4)
- multiplier cap (does it exceed 2.0?)
- hit cancel animations and frame delays per weapon type
- timing on parries (how strict it is, compared to Demon's, Dark 1 and Dark 2)
- delay required before being able to backstab

If someone comes up with anything else they'd like me to try out, I'll gladly help out.

Maddrical · Oct 17, 2014

Pretty excited to see some more impressions of this game. The combat looks very polished, and the environments are nice. I'd love to see a nice story involved. Will definitely be picking it up in a Steam sale, perhaps at launch if it gets really good impressions.

Fox1966 · Oct 17, 2014

This looks really good to me...it has now jumped onto my "need to pre-order" list...

patchday · Oct 17, 2014

Wow that looks amazing

Virdix · Oct 17, 2014

Played this at PAX and it was enough to convince me, i cant find the article because im at work but theyve added a lot of new systems seperate drom Dark Souls like an experience multiplier as well as experience degradation based on how long it takes to get to your bloodstain. Hope it lives up to my expectations.

-MD- · Oct 17, 2014

Looking great, I'm all about that rogue life.

Don't think I'll be able to pick it up on launch though =/

It is more than obvious from all the videos i have seen so far, the game is nothing like it at all really, it is only used for marketing

T.O.P · Oct 17, 2014

I love me some Lobos

Will catch up tonight

Cyborg · Oct 17, 2014

This guy is a pro offcourse he doesnt find the game as hard as DS. I think a lot of casual gamers will find the game hard/challanging.

cloudzack117 · Oct 17, 2014

man this used to be one of my most hyped games for ps4 but bloodborne killed it

OverturePT · Oct 17, 2014

Looks pretty decent. I'm holding up for some user and critic reviews but as a Dark Souls fan, it's on my radar, definitely.

EDIT: He's actually dying quite a bit as a rogue at least (the char build that I'm watching), it doesn't look like it's that "easy" anyway.

Straid · Oct 17, 2014

It looks great, far better than the gameplay videos shown so far.

DirtyCase · Oct 17, 2014

Looks interesting, however I'm not entirely sold on the art direction. I'm cautiously optimistic regarding this title.

God forbid someone calls out someone's opinion on something... let's insult them for disagreeing with the thing I agree with!

"Do I Internet?"

Yes. Yes you do.

Denton · Oct 17, 2014

It has borderless windowed support.

Day one.

Witchfinder General · Oct 17, 2014

It seems he was playing on a mix of High and Medium settings. No word on whether there's an "Ultra" category.

Also, the graphics options seemed a bit limited. Hopefully there will be more to choose from come the final game. There wasn't a PhysX option either although Nvidia have the game on their site supporting it I believe.

GorillaJu · Oct 17, 2014

It's coming out at a really bad time for me. I'm not playing any Souls until Bloodborne to keep myself from burning out, as I've played DS1 or 2 almost every day this year up until September and after Destiny and Shadow of Mordor I'm sick of collecting shit in games and I'm sure this game will have no shortage of hidden items and shit that you'll want to pick up. I'm not sure if I can resist the temptation though... It has a little bit of the DragDogs to it.
