Lost all credibility.
Please don't let this be another one of those Sony games that end up taking infinity and a year to come out.

Why do you guys always have to compress these things to hell and back. I may have to make my own like I did with WKC. :p

That being said, they look hot!

I'm not gonna get my hype up until we see something more substantial, though. This is From Software we're talking about.

Edit: Oh crap! It was Sony who compressed these screens! Freakin' Sony, always figuring out the best ways to show off their games. :lol

Famitsu said it's coming out in 2009.

OF course, that could mean December 2009 in Japan. WKC was playable at least year's TGS, and look at it now. :(

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
This is like if you mix King's Field Ancient City and Shadow Tower + hopes and dreams together.

Well, I hope it has a first person gameplay mode anywhoo

Looks a lot better then the scans from earlier in the week were letting on. From Software is an underrated and talented group but I can't just help but question the game considering it is made by the very same developers that created Enchanted Arms.

Then you should be comforted to hear that From is anything but consistent.

(I say it because I love 'em.)

Ooh

I haven't played King's Field but I thought From Software's Eternal Ring was fuck awesome.

Definitely looking forward to this one. I wished they started working on Otogi 3, however.

Ahh, that's a shame though.
I felt Eternal Ring was the weakest of all of their first person RPGs.

King's Field 1, 2, The Ancient City, and Shadow Tower were all better.
Strangely, after loving all of them, I just couldn't get that far into Eternal Ring.

Too clean for me I guess.

That's because Oblivion was awful. The skill and spell system alone warrants that statement.

What? I thought it was some amazing game, game of the year, all that crap.

So it's not? My hate was warranted? I may in fact love WRPGs? This is a good day! :lol

Looks outrageously good. I love fantasy/medieval style done well, this looks like it pulls it off nicely.

I vote Oblivion as the best game of all-time, FWIW.

Then you need to play Morrowind. May look like crap now, but its seriously better on the exploration side. Its actually rewarding unlike Oblivion.

Morrowind had way too many flaws to be a fun game IMO.

It was just a weird game. I knew when I played it that it was a game I was probably alone in liking, but something about its simple design, magic system, and blisteringly fast gameplay really impressed me.

I'm sure if I played their King's Field games, I would be less impressed by it, but as it stands it was one of my favorite PS2 launch games (or near launch, at least)

I never understood the love it got either, and I'm open to just about any kind of game. Again, the biggest complaint I have with Oblivion (and by extension, Morrowind) is that I felt no substantive character progression through all my time playing the game. The skill system just sucks. Outside of the towns and cities, it's got a big, empty, lifeless world that barely serves a purpose. Bad art on pretty much everything that isn't environmental. And to top it off, it uses copy+paste / random generated dungeon layouts so hardly anything feels unique or worth exploring.

I suppose for a lot of people it's the nature of a sandbox RPG that is appealing. I just hope this game (if it's even comparable to Oblivion at all) avoids some of the same shortcomings Oblivion had, mostly in terms of character progression.

Those are all things that annoyed me about the game.

I hope Demon's Souls is much better.

The combat system being one of them. I admit I played Morrowind after having enjoyed and beating Oblivion, and although I'm usually pretty open when it comes to older games with outdated graphics, the slower combat style, framerate issues, bad animations, and overall slower feel really bogged it down. I liked the customization and greater freedoms, but Oblivion trumped it in every other regard.

Wish this would come out for the PC :(

Very excited. Hadn't played a King's Field game since the first, but man that game had such incredibly scary atmosphere. Might have had a lot to do with the technical limitations of being such an early PSX title but something about that game was so impressive.

So yeah, this looks awesome.
