This game is gonna scratch an itch I've had for like a decade.

And incidentally, I hope it sells a ridiculous amount of copies so that Capcom can realize how fucking stupid they were to let the Onimusha franchise die out like they did.

Edit: Hmm seems like I'm not the only one who thinks this...

 

[BadWolf]

That looks fantastic, loving the gameplay.

 

[varkuriru]

I am watching this and I am nodding constantly. Looking good and I am hoping the gameplay is solid.

 

[E_Darkness]

I'm sold. Team Ninja looks like they're making a good action video game again.

 

[Instro]

Looks great. I wonder what the level/area design is like. Like Souls, or totally linear level based.

 

[Wagram]

This video convinced me that this is something I need to keep an eye on.

 

[FTF]

That looks very cool.

 

[Elandyll]

I'll probably be roasted for this a bit, but I admit I am looking forward to this more than Dark Souls III for some reason...
Having never played a DS game is probably part of this, but I did love Bloodborne and it has that vibe also mixed with some DMC and classic Jubei Ninpucho (Ninja Scroll) feel...

You and me both. This is coming who freaking LOVED every second of Bloodborne but just not as hyped for DSIII. This game is filling that Onimusha/Ninja Gaiden void for me which is huge cause I love those type of games.

Art style wise, I really really dig the ink effects they use during boss/demon fights. Looks sick as hell. Everything about this game looks sick as hell to me. Can't wait!

What ever works for you. It is one of my most anticipated for sure, but no way can I put it above the last Dark Souls. Also, the best looking one yet.

If you loved Bloodborne, then you absolutely have to play at least Dark Souls 1. Demon's Souls as well.

 

[Tankard]

This looks great.

Made my top 10 most antecipated games for this year, i hope it's not delayed.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Holy shit!

It's so good. Fabulous!

 

[adamantypants]

Jesus I remember when this game was announced before last gen started

 

[Xeilyn]

Looks very good, hope it really comes out this year

 

[Jabba]

Did you know that characters wielding blades in 3rd person action games were a thing before Dark Souls?

Yeah, it looks like a slower Ninja Gaiden influence to me. It has Souls influence also.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Looks pretty linear. Not expecting labyrinthine level design from Koei-Techmo. But damn that combat looks sweet with the four stances, magic, high punishment and emphasis on smart spacing. Also that's one nice UI, I've got to say, definite improvement over souls UI in both intrusiveness and flavor.

 

[Kinyou]

Really like the whole Samurai setting. Overall I'm still a bit cautious though because afaik does Team Ninja have not a lot of experience with this type of game and I'm still burned from Ninja Gaiden 3. Did they perhaps hire new talent for this?

 

[butman]

Looks gorgeous!

Hope they fix the MC running animation. It looks like he's desperately looking for a bathroom.

 

[ced]

This looks hot, ninja gaiden with some souls mechanics.

Team Ninja doesn't have experience with action games, what?

Attaboy, couldn't find it for whatever reason. Thanks! Shows bow/arrow footage and other stuff.

 

[RangerBAD]

Build was probably older than TGS too. Really interested in what it'll look like at E3.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

i hope sony showcases it at e3 (like in the conference, not montage) though i really doubt it

I imagine glorious, since Team Ninja kick butt in the graphics department. I am however hoping for a new logo...sick of the outdated (graphically) Team Ninja opening scene with ocean, clouds, etc.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Yep that's Souls alright.

 

[piccio_ssl]

tgs is more likely
i can't help but feel the this year Sony's E3 will be bigger than last year

 

[delSai]

I can see 'em showing a trailer at E3, it was shown at PSX as well, i think Sony knows that Nioh might be big and want to push it or something like this.

Spoiler

And i dont have a good feeling about Sonys E3 this year, but this is not the time to talk about this lol

 

[Kysen]

Why are people calling this Souls like? When the game is basically Ninja Gaiden right down to the same sound effects used in the menus/attacks.

 

[kpaadet]

Looks really good, wonder if their will be any sort of stealth element to it.

 

[Augemitbutter]

this looks perfect. one of the most anticipated games to me currently.

 

[Eolz]

This is really a Dark Souls X Ninja Gaiden game, both in terms of looks and gameplay.
Nothing related to Onimusha (samurais and demons are not something unique to this), so people must really have some nice memories of this IP to talk about it everytime there's a Nioh thread...

Anyway, can't wait for this game, probably in my top 5 most anticipated this year. Hope we'll get a cool CE and more info soon, especially about the character progression and the world.

 

[Kinyou]

Dark Souls like games.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Why are people calling this Souls like? When the game is basically Ninja Gaiden right down to the same sound effects used in the menus/attacks.

It's the combination of stamina bar, the enemy moveset, the methodical combat style, dropping stuff upon death.

 

[MegamanXZero]

Wow, reminds me of Onimusha! Never played Demon Souls though, but this game is looking good!

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Welp, this might be my number 2 most anticipated PS4 game, after TLG.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

I really hope Sony gets behind this game all the way. I was really surprised to see this on a western stage.

nah, this is ninja gaiden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0aHva6RdOY

if team ninja gets within 100 miles of that, i'll be pleasantly surprised.

this looks good, but lets not go crazy.

 

[ShinMaruku]

I await the story with much anticipation.

 

[shinobi602]

Going by this footage, it's a fairly shameless souls rip but it looks fun!

Looks far more like Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden had a baby to me.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Looking forward to it!

This is leaning more towards Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden, than a carbon copy of Souls. Hasn't this game been in development since like 2004?

 

[Ogawa-san]

Take Onimusha's general theme, mix with Ninja Gaiden's gameplay plus a stamina bar minus the supersonic speed, add some itemization, you end up with...

A SOULS CLONE.

Wait, what?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I really hope Sony gets behind this game all the way. I was really surprised to see this on a western stage.

It's one of shu's most anticipated games of that counts for something. They showed it at psx as well. I think they'll give it nice exposure

 

[GeoramA]

Looking like Team Ninja's return to form. Hope it becomes a hit series.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This still looks amazing.

It's just the pacing of everything. They've got their own thing going on for sure. But the enemy mobs and attack patterns seem straight from souls games. not to mention that part where he summons a glowing buddy.

It's not a bad thing. The game has its own identity but the parallels seem obvious.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

It's unfortunate the clip isn't uploaded at 60 fps.

Looks like Nioh to me

 

[SkylineRKR]

This is a game I'll eat up. Typical Japanese charm, and gameplay seems to be spot on. I expect ridiculous bosses, cutscenes and typical stuff only present in Japanese games.
