Well, now I'm more interested in it. That was awesome.

I wouldn't exactly call it 'better' (washed out offscreen). But it looks promising.

Love that it's a randomized dungeon crawler. One of the more interesting next-gen games so far. Looks pretty damn good, too.

It is at least reasonable quality 1080p. Looks much better than the other footage in my opinion.

Randomly generated dungeons are my jam. I'm a little bummed there's no offline mode, but co op with buddies should be a blast anyway. Count me in.
Okay. Better conference-footage. Sorry for getting your hopes up. My stream was a mess, so I am happy about that HD-upload.
Why would this bomb on the Xbox? :/

I think online interactions and drop in drop out gameplay that these type of games improve the experience, and if they focus on requiring people to be online they don't have to handle the scenarios where the user is offline or re-balance the game for that.
The servers being shut down is a valid concern, but with the cloud focus on this generation I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they won't be closing servers...

I was thinking this lately, and that Miyazaki is helping out perhaps... but thought 'nah'.

That's a bit better quality.
I dunno for sure yet because of the footage quality but this looks like it could take Killzone: SF's best next-gen graphics honour.
Obviously they can push the graphical quality to the extreme because of the closed, small environments in comparison to other games. But still.

It wouldn't. It looks just as appealing as I thought. It's on my radar.

gonna be a tight fit then
Whoop whoop, we knew it, but we know it even more. I hope it looks as good as this.

So it has no offline mode, and its a Ps4 exclusive.
Its basically Sony's Titanfall then?

No ffs no
I really love how you can manually target parts of the enemies ( legs, arms, torso head)
Pretty excited by this!

Randomized anything is not a good thing - at all.
Looks pretty though.

Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac says no.

I don't see how people can tell how good the graphics are, the only direct feed stuff is from a trailer with not much game play. I already dislike the story and the fact that it's online only.
Yeah I wonder what happened to this guy:
Is he in the trailer? I can't view it at work...

Why bother stringing together some crappy narative for a SP?
I like the random aspect I'm hearing about. It's the kind of thing I wished Dark Souls would have tried. A bit more monster hunter with some structed mp.

After the latest teaser trailer they did not disappoint. I am intrigued, hopefully you can play solo without any problems, online being optional, otherwise meh.
Hmm, pretty disappointed in the random dungeons aspect. It would have behooved them to create some really nice set pieces to show off this new graphics engine, rather than simply show off models of monsters.
Just not the kind of game I was looking for. Still looks super interesting though.

What this tells me is that we need a diret feed hq footage. This part looks the same as the reveal. Other parts look different.

This.
It looks like Demon's/Dark Souls, only without the meticulously crafted and engrossing overworlds of the Souls games. And that voice acting is terrible, with what we've heard of the narrative sounding something like Toriyama wrote.
It looks like it'll be a fun game, but I hope that Souls project for ps4 actually exists.
There is no rule stating the narrative/lore/story line has to be crappy, ensuring that is isn't is the developers job.
Anyway for all intents and purposes this might as well be a forgettable free to play game, disappointing really.
Unlike the original reveal trailer, this now looks like what I can imagine a game you can play looking like.
I have nothing against a random dungeon crawler, but it can never be a Souls game (or vice versa).
Dark Souls (and Demon's Souls) greatest strength is its level design.

That's the thing. We only can say what it appears to be, but we won't actually know what it actually is in full until we see more of it. Not just any game attempting to mimic either of those games is necessarily guaranteed to succeed. The no sp for this kind of game probably took it off my radar, barring the game looking a lot more interesting to play once we get some better footage. So the game can still sell me, but that snippet I saw wasn't enough.
Yea, there was a dragon, and some fight on what looked like a small flight of stairs, but beyond that, I need to see some more. A dragon's presence isn't instantly "omg awesome." It depends on what fighting that dragon is actually like.
Looks like you got your "try hard" class with the tactical mask on today.

I'm wondering this, because WRPG's sold in their millions on 360.

Thats the problem - random has no charm in the first place.

Looks good. Need direct feed, I'm sure TGS will show some.

Mr. Community
As others have pointed out, Souls influence is obvious.
- Armor design: practical, utilitarian, bags and pockets.
- Lifebar and damage numbers done exactly like Souls
On randomized dungeons... they have their positives as well. As an avid ex D2 player, I can tell you randomized means playthroughs are more exciting since you don't know what's around the corner. It also encourages replayability since it's new everytime. The devil's in the details tho, randomized dungeons need to be properly tuned.

if it's half as good as Demon's and Dark Souls then i'd grab it once I have the console for sure.
Do you think Dragon Dogma is basically monster hunters?

Why is everyone down on thiz game for being online only? I thought after all the praise the division got GAF learned to let go of their hatred of always online things. I'm actually glad they didn't turn this into dragons dogma 2 considering the kind of tedious trite that game turned out to be.
