Or as I like to call it, Zendaya:The adventures of black Taki

 

[Captain Toad]

This game looked pretty bad. The movement, animation and gameplay all looked like a below-average indie game, but wants to look like a AAA game. We will have to see more, but I'd be shocked if this game turns out well.

 

[Punished Miku]

Cautiously interested. It needs to control well and feel good to play. The graphics aren't the issue. If it's horrible to play it'll be another Mortal Shell.

I'll hope for the best. Has potential for sure.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

It reminded me of Forspoken with it's unique traversal and magical abilities. Though this looks much more palatable and interesting if I'm being honest.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[lh032]

why does it look like fallout 4 third person?

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Easily one of my games of the show, and another day one on Game Pass. There was this move when they dodged via double jump in mid air, dodging this flying attacks. So sick!

IMO the animations are one of the highlights for me, very smooth. How that translates into game play is yet to be seen though.

 

[adamsapple]

This is from the team that made Ashen if not mistaken, right ?

 

[Croatoan]

I don't know why but the first thing that came to mind upon viewing the trailer was victorian god of war. Has anyone called it god of woke yet?

 

[CatLady]

This is from the team that made Ashen if not mistaken, right ?

This game looks really interesting to me. I can't wait to play it. Is it true it's from the same people that made Ashen? I liked Ashen a lot so that makes it even more appealing to me.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Right up my alley but I thought it looked bad unfortunately

 

[Aion002]

Seems awesome. I just hope that I can tolerate the awkward movements.

Greedfall also looked awesome to me at first... But the animations and controls made the game unplayable to me.

 

[balls of snow]

Has that AA jank.
Day 1 if theres nothing else to play when it comes out. Also, Forspoken has that budget going for it cant really compare the two like when Easy Allies did I was like wtf.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

This and Diablo 4 are stars of the show for me. But the animation looks floaty. Or maybe because of everything was on slow motion?

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

"The siege of dawn"

 

[k_trout]

looks great

 

[pasterpl]

Looks sort of like forspoken clone.

Open world action RPG Flintlock The Siege of Dawn received a new gameplay showing at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase.

From developer A44, the creator of Ashen, the game features third person gun and axe combat, plus a cute familiar companion who joins in combat and can be ridden through the air.

The game is set for release in 2023 on PC (Steam, Epic), Xbox consoles, PS5, and PS4. It'll hit Gamepass too.

 

[Gandih42]

Looks a little on the janky side but otherwise pretty cool. I like the implementation of a dodge/double jump being a (gunpowder?) explosion from the left hand and the fox creature. I also like the setting, seems like north African inspired environments with magic, which you don't get all that often.

Looking forward to more gameplay details on this. Haven't played Ashen but it seemed to get a lot of positive buzz so hopeful about this too.

I wouldn't be shocked if the game turned out great, I loved their last game ashen

 

[GymWolf]

I liked it a lot tbh.

 

[Roufianos]

It was literally the only reveal besides Forza that interested me. Surprised there wasn't a thread until now.

 

[Black_Stride]

I hope it isnt too long.
But im def interested in getting through this

Because its a black female character lead?
It looks closer to being a Soulsbourne clone than a Forspoken clone.

Does Forspoken even have melee combat?

 

[Roberts]

Ashen was the first great Souls rip-off so I’m really looking forward to this.

 

[Kimahri]

Seems awesome. I just hope that I can tolerate the awkward movements.

Greedfall also looked awesome to me at first... But the animations and controls made the game unplayable to me.

This makes me so sad on your behalf. You missed one hell of an adventure. Your life is emptier now.

 

[Lux R7]

oh so cute, i like the weird alien dog companion

It has something similar to second son, very simple.

But yeah it looks more like nier automata meet soulslike than forspoken.

 

[Nautilus]

Yeah, this game is looking really fun.

 

[RoboFu]

So I guess we are headed back into to the brown era of gaming again.

100% this

 

[Chukhopops]

I liked what they showed but I really thought Ashen was shit (thank God I played it on GP as I intended to buy it initially).

Combat also seemed a bit slow but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Yeah, we need indies to evolve take risks and aim for AA games. Don't listen to critics complaining when measuring them against AAA.

Otherwise indies will always resort to making Metroidvanias, top down roguelikes and other lower budget games.
Indies need to fill that spot of the quirky AA game with a 8 to 10 hour campaign. Let AAA take care of the bloated open world genre.

 

[ACESHIGH]

.
Yes please. I'd rather have that than the united colors of Bennetton era that we have today.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

You consider this "very smooth"?

 

[Nautilus]

You consider this "very smooth"?

I personally would. Looks really good to me at least.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing a diferent footage than you guys.

 

[sol_bad]

You consider this "very smooth"?

It's very good for a more indie type dev. It's not the finished product and even if that's how it looks at release, responsiveness is more important than a smooth animation transition.

 

[Braag]

You're in GAF. If it isn't AAA and took 5 years and cost 200 mil to develop it ain't worth anyone's time and looks like trash.

 

[VN1X]

"Below average indie-game"

Never change GAF.

 

[Robb]

Reminded me of Forspoken with a less annoying protagonist. Wish it had a bit more color to it though.

 

[brian0057]

Man...
Standards really are that low these days, huh?

 

[Chukhopops]

You're in GAF. If it isn't AAA and took 5 years and cost 200 mil do develop it ain't worth anyone's time and looks like trash.

It’s sad because AAA is not where you’ll see a lot of experimentation and risk taking. You have to make something for the largest common denominator. You have to make a story that is easy to understand, will not shock anyone and will go for common tropes.

To each their own but I can’t imagine playing only AAA games and rejecting the rest, you’d miss so much creativity and originality in the stories and gameplay.

 

[Black_Stride]

Reminded me of Forspoken with a less annoying protagonist. Wish it had a bit more color to it though.

Because of the axe or because the chick is black and we all know every black chick is actually the same chick.

 

[Punished Miku]

You consider this "very smooth"?

Just pretend Claudia Black and Troy Baker are loudly yelling dialogue over this whole thing. Troy Baker can play the animal character.

 

[Aion002]

This makes me so sad on your behalf. You missed one hell of an adventure. Your life is emptier now.

I really tried, but every time I played I got dizzy and ended up with headaches.

 

[Topher]

I liked it a lot tbh.

Same. Obviously needs some polishing but looks fun as hell gameplay-wise.

 

[Kimahri]

I really tried, but every time I played I got dizzy and ended up with headaches.

Damn, that sucks. I can kinda understand though. It has a very.. Eh, lively camera. Moves and sways a lot, so I can see it, although it never bothered me.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Looked a bit rough around the edges...ainimations, etc but I love the Colonial/Victoriana/Africana mashup that can be seen in the characters and world design. Hoping the final product does the the cool concept justice.

 

[RGB'D]

I liked it a lot tbh.

Me too. I'm excited for this one to drop. I already wishlisted on steam..

 

[mckmas8808]

WAT?!?! Are you serious?!?!

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Ashen was pretty good so this has me intrigued.
