there seems to be some really fast healing going on, the bear puts him in his place and suddenly the health bar it's almost full again after the big toss.

My inner Dark Souls is screaming roll to the side you idiot!

 

[Gamerguy84]

Nice footage. Im glad we only have 4 days to go. Been waiting on this ever since I found out about it. Always did like SP as a developer, they always nail gameplay and control.

 

[AmuroChan]

Combat is fucking tight at the highest difficulty. Its basically one hit kills galore and you'll die from a single critical hit. Also dont worry about the dismemberment / powerful attacks, its all in there / linked to stances / skills

Dude's just bad

Does that mean combat is not tight when playing at lower difficulty? I feel like most reviewers are going to play it at normal or lower difficulty.

 

[Jon Neu]

why

Damn, those animations are horrible.

 

[MDSLKTR]

People really questioning Sucker Punch in making good and fun combat?

 

[Kumomeme]

need more better look at combat.....but its no use to judge combat based on video since some of it might look clunky outside but different story when we actually hold controller...no use to have cool animation on outside but totally unresponsive and floaty when player actually press the button

we will see once the game launch

 

[THEAP99]

My metacritic prediction of 83 is looking even more likely now. I would be insanely happy and surprised if it outdid spiderman or horzion in reviews but i doubt it

Anyone play on easy shouldn't be a reviewer let alone getting paid for that shit

 

[iorek21]

Some reviewers won't even finish the game they're reviewing, let alone play on normal/hard

 

[dezzy8]

Combat looks ass from the first vid. I hope it’s the player that’s making it look bad.

 

[AmuroChan]

I don't disagree, but unfortunately being competent at games is not one of the requirements for landing a job at most mainstream gaming outlets these days.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

the game looks incredibly janky

 

[JORMBO]

The combat looks really bad like a lot of other people already stated. I'm still excited to try this game out myself this week.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

It bugs the shit out of me how a samurai in full armor is running around with a sword when he could just be impaling people with a spear/shooting his bow while he rides his horse around em.

why

We rdr now?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Looks dope! 5 more days!

 

[Endless Fluff]

The "bear throw" looks funny. I hope they polish this a little with the 8gig day1 patch.

 

[Thaedolus]

Man how cool would it be if that was the actual OST?

 

[Vroadstar]

Threads like this remind me how so many people here don’t like games. They just like crying about them on the internet. Even when they haven’t played them.

They like games alright, just not exclusive games from Sony. If you have been here long enough, the first page alone will tell who's who.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

What patch?

 

[abacab driver]

Yeah that combat...ehh.

 

[THEAP99]

This is Suckerpunch's way of animations. A patch won't fix the style they've been doing for ages

 

[Endless Fluff]

What patch?

Ghost of Tsushima patch notes: Traveler's Attire changes and even more large text

See what's changed in Ghost of Tsushima's latest update

www.gamesradar.com

According to the latest leaks for Ghost of Tsushima, as spotted by Twisted Voxel, the combined day-one update size for the game is now 7.9 GB. That encompasses both Ghost of Tsushima updates 1.01 and 1.02. As is typical for early updates like these, their patch notes aren't particularly detailed; they only reference making fixes to localization issues and miscellaneous bugs.

[DonF]

This is giving me strong days gone vibes, like a solid 75.

 

[tryDEATH]

Phenomenal looking game world, but I just don't see that gameplay loop being that rewarding considering every human is basically a 1 hit kill. Sounds absurd, but I would have preferred if the enemies were spongier and could take a few more hits, so that its more of a back and forth, which boss fight probably are, but not your average NPC that you will mostly be running into.

The 1 hit kill worked in AC, because you had to be stealthy, here its just too straight forward and doesn't seem to be as rewarding, especially not based on the way he killed those 2 guys in the 1st video I didn't even realized he killed them till he was walking away from them.

 

[THEAP99]

suckerpunch would be in trouble if that happened. early indications/hints from people have been positive online

 

[hybrid_birth]

I think I'll spend more on photo mode than finish the game.

 

[Airbus Jr]

GOTY 2020?

 

[itsjustJEFF]

That first video had me confused as shit. Thought the music in the background were sound effect from the game, I was like "Wow, these sound effects don't sound very feudal Japan"
I had some doubts about the combat, but I'm actually like what I'm seeing. One thing tho, that RED bright light when someone is about to attack you, it's freaking absurdly bright and in your face. I hope I can turn that down, I've prefer something little more subtle.

 

[Knitted Knight]

GOTY 2020?

Contender

GOTY already released this year.

 

[G-Bus]

People really questioning Sucker Punch in making good and fun combat?

Yup. Didn't enjoy infamous combat at all really. Although maybe it was the traversal that was worse.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Despite some of the combat issues I'm still looking forward to Ghost of Tsushima.

why

The moment Jin Sakai fired an arrow he earned that mauling. It was a weird recovery after being tossed by the bear.

 

[DonJorginho]

Combat looks decent imo. Miles better than the likes of Assassin's Creed and The Witcher 3, it looks like good fun to play just like the Infamous games, I'm not expecting Sekiro/Nioh level smoothness as I'm more hyped for the exploration than anything else.

Bring on Friday!

 

[Faithless83]

Contender

GOTY already released this year.

It was supposed to be already out but it got delayed to November 19th.

Maneater?

 

[Knitted Knight]

It was supposed to be already out but it got delayed to November 19th.

With that industry leading melee combat, laser focused story, top notch voice acting and industry leading animations I'm sure Cyberpunk will contend for something.... (well after the GOTY awards are handed over).

 

[bumleforce]

Man downgrade much

 

[THEAP99]

Ya idk where in the world infamous 2nd son became hailed as some underrated gem lol. That game was insanely shallow

It was fun as fuck, the movement was awesome and most of the powers were great to mess around with. The game looked stunning as well, like the use of very strong colored particle effects still look great. Sucker Punch is a great studio, I just don't like how the expectations have been set for this game.

First PS4 exclusive that screamed "this is next gen".

 

[sol_bad]

Is this leaked beta footage? I am worried about the combat.

 

[sendit]

I'll hold my judgement on the gameplay until this Friday. Watching is totally different than playing. However, the visuals in this game look fantastic.

 

[Belmonte]

why

 

[evanft]

I haven't liked a game by Sucker Punch since Sly Cooper. Hopefully this will break that streak, but I'm not too hopeful based on the footage I've seen so far. I fear this may be another Days Gone. Competent, but ultimately not really worth playing.

 

[THEAP99]

 

[bender]

Combat looks unbearable.

 

[Oberstein]

Why is it always the same shitty players who have access to this kind of game? And my God, the music in the background...

 

[PSYGN]

Needs more leaves and random dust kicking about.

I haven't liked anything they've done to be honest. I don't know I might rent it I get a bad enough Bushido Blade craving but I can't see myself going out of my way to play it unless it really turns out amazing and free of Sony's usual BS.
