I mean they pretty much make the same game over and over. Don't want to sound snarky, but I just assume everything works on the same framework. Amazing how well the games tend to look all things considered too.

Sadly, I have to agree with a lot of points in this post. I love buying the games on PC to have them all on one platform, but I might just go PS4 for Berserk. I've had so many problems getting KT games to just run normally on my PC, not even talking about any fancy graphical options or settings.
Regardless of that though, I'm absolutely pumped for this game.

The Dragon Quest PC port was great. By all means be pessimistic, the company deserves that, but it's not a total lost cause like some people pretend!
I understand that sentiment in regards to their musous, but Toukiden is preeeetty different from those games. Attack on Titan looks to stand on its own as well.
But yeah, it's all obviously the same engine.
What other type of game can emulate killing hundreds at a time?

Damn looks game looks good. I still can't believe we're getting it. And so soon.
Also, I don't really think a Soulsborne style would work with it. I actually think something like Witcher 3 would be damn cool. Obviously the combat system would have to deflect Guts' fighting style better, but exploring the world and doing sidequests would be amazing.

Starting with Attack on Titan, Omega Force Vita games are no longer ports. OF recently has formed a smaller team to do Vita titles separately, ground up titles instead of quick ports. They're basically same games but issues like low framerate or resolution are minimal.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, re-purpose the blade mode super accurate slicing and dicing gameplay from Metal Gear Rising and apply that to Guts and his big sword. You can slow down time for a short moment to position your sword for the most accurate and damaging attacks that will of course chop enemies to bits in real time. Of course the game would also have normal character action stylings and gameplay based around that but for bosses and finishing off harder enemies, like in MGR, you use blade mode or Dragon Slayer mode or whatever.

Helps to only have about five character models per 30 minute map.

Will they release the bathing shirt DLC for Casca in Europe too?

Vita and PS4 versions for me.
That sounds great and all, but you basically want Platinum to make it?
Which would mean 4 hours long and not nearly as many enemies.

Why does it need that many enemies? Guts is infamous for killing 100 guys by himself...yet he's about to be in a game where the counter will literally be in the thousands. Doesn't match the lore at all.
Sieges and battles are huge bloody affairs, but one man running round killing every last enemy ain't Berserk... especially if they have you playing as other characters too.

Pretty much this. They've been sucking lately and would prob screw it up. I'm happy with the Musou format. Keeps to the manga story line, destroy groups of enemies, can use lots of characters with differing Movesets, and great graphics. Unless From would do a souls-esque game focused on super strength build of Guts, Musou is best bet for a good Berserk game. Can't wait to go ham in the berserker armor or as the skull knight.

Looks like a Dark Souls ripoff.

Dragon's Dogma is already the best base for a Berserk game, use that new console power to put dismemberment and more enemies on screen and that's it.
Ninja Gaiden 2 is another one, imagine stairway of hell running smooth and attacking with the Dragonslayer

Woah... Forreal?
Have you played Dark Souls or read Berserk..? DS is actually inspired from Berserk so it's the other way around.
You realize this series is a major inspiration for souls right?

people are falling for the "dark souls ripoff" bait too easily
Don't know why you included me in that, I was backing him up, the first picture is clearly the oldest, that's why it's first!

Lol I took the bait, but some people do drive by posts in threads they don't know about and genuinely aren't familiar with the subject.

The "Souls ripoff" post is a running gag in these threads.
From the screenshots in the OP we can see that it does.

When Koei Tecmo says "Fall" they better mean only a few days after the JPN release!
There isn't much aside from screens and a small trailer. We do know that most of the Band of the Falcon is in it as playable characters.

This. I wonder what they would put in it... Any thoughts? My guess would be standard art book and soundtrack, maybe a statue. Kinda hoping for Griffith's behelit necklace. But yeah, I'm on look out for Amazon.
But it's weird that they haven't announced a Japanese CE yet.. May not be one at all then.
