Support NeoGAF

[omonimo]

They already have a build running at 60fps and are targeting that for final release in 2016.

(I've heard from someone, but not confirmed, that it will be simultaneous market release)

Dammit. It's really impressive then, especially considered Bloodborne struggle to handle even a steady 30 fps. I'm surprise, I don't expected such graphic at 60 fps from Tecmo.

From Software arent all that versed in going for 60fps in the early development process. Only 60fps game they have put out in modern age has been DS2 for current gen. Every major Team Ninja game has been 60fps to begin with, thus they can scale their visuals to still look good even taking a hit with 16ms limitations

I think its unfair to compare Team Ninja with From in that respect.

 

[ZhugeEX]

The guys name is "William Adams"...... lol

 

[HardRojo]

Game's running at 60 fps already? I'm so excited about this title and I didn't even know it existed back in 2005.

 

[Bl@de]

If players are connected online, they can revive other fallen players when they see a red glowing sword in the ground. This is where other players have died. (To battle against, they drop good loot)

What? So if you don't have PS+ you don't get singleplayer items? That would be stupid. I hope they don't tie it to PS+ or change that. It would make an unfair advantage.

 

[Lucentto]

The guys name is "William Adams"...... lol

Should have just named him "John Smith". It would have been better.

 

[hesido]

Where's 60fps video feed?

One does not simply make a game run at 60fps, and then demonstrate it at 30fps.

 

[Kuni]

I love Souls so this is interesting. The trailer was great. On the list!

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

It's Dark Souls x Onimusha x Ninja Gaiden staring Geralt the Witcher

 

[Bl@de]

The guys name is "William Adams"...... lol

Well yeah. Isn't he based on him? William Adams

 

[Jawbreaker]

Biggest surprise for me this TGS. This looks fucking awesome.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

From Software influence is real. Looks great. Best surprise this TGS. KoeiTecmo continuing to be awesome.

 

[ZhugeEX]

That's not what it said haha. It said if you're connected online. Not if you have PS Plus.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

How did I miss this game!? Looks awesome

 

[Bl@de]

That's not what it said haha. It said if you're connected online. Not if you have PS Plus.

Phew. Just got scared for a second^^ I don't have PS+ (all the time)

 

[nded]

Looks a bit like Onimusha with the Souls camera.

 

[Stereogatari]

Is that The Witcher guy.

 

[B.O.O.M]

William Senpai is kicking butt. Love how the gameplay looks.

 

[Cwarrior]

It's Dark Souls x Onimusha x Ninja Gaiden staring Geralt the Witcher

Yep this game looks like the sword action games of my dream.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Well yeah. Isn't he based on him? William Adams

Seems likely. Western/blonde + that era of Japan already got me suspecting that there may be a link to the Dutch East Asia Company.
I also noticed that the blonde woman in the original concept art looks like she's wearing a Dutch maid inspired hood.

 

[kuroshiki]

Tecmo is far superior when it comes to tech prowess than from.

 

[ninjablade]

love what i'm seeing so far, please tecmo don't fuck this up.

 

[Averon]

Looks great. Will check it out.

 

[Koppai]

This game looks pretty cool!!!

 

[GeoramA]

Hopefully this is the game that gets Team Ninja back on track. Looks like a winner from what we've seen so far. The visuals and art are very impressive.

 

[Brutuspedia]

The video started really impressive, a serious and darker samurai game...

And then came Tinker Bell to ruin everything, totally out of place in a darker game like that.

Its the Ninja Gaiden's werewolves all over again, just terrible.

 

[The Silver]

I just want to say I hate everyone calling it Dark Souls.

It's Onimusha dammnit, Onimusha came first.

 

[Stranger In The Alps]

This just shot to the top of my most anticipated games list. I've been craving an Onimusha sequel, and while this isn't exactly what I had in mind, I think this will do nicely.

 

[droggg]

Dark Souls with Ninja Gaiden gameplay.

other way around.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I somehow missed the fact that this was developed by Team Ninja.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

The game is specifically designed for trial and error. Developers expect players to retry segments multiple times.
William can swap between different weapons in real-time. He starts with the katana. Other weapons include a spear. Every weapon has their own traits to differentiate from the other.
A stamina meter limits the number of actions that can be preformed at a time.
Armor can be found and equipped. It customizes William's appearance.
Spiritual energy drops from fallen foes. These spirits can fortify William. (Hi, Dark Souls)
Shrines are scattered across the map. Players can access these points to level up William. (Just like Dark Souls, too)
If players are connected online, they can revive other fallen players when they see a red glowing sword in the ground. This is where other players have died. (To battle against, they drop good loot)

This happens in almost every Japanese character action game and God of War, too. And Onimusha.

Shrines were in Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden and surely some other games before Souls came around.

I'm not saying Souls didn't influence this game, because as more info comes out it's very clear that it did. But not everything is taken directly from Souls. There were action RPGs before 2009.

I thought it was premature to call it Soulsy based on just the trailer, but the info coming out definitely suggests Souls was an important influence. I think the Onimusha/NG influences are also obvious, however.

I just copied and pasted this from someone else!

 

[AkelisRain]

I see Onimusha, and Ninja Gaiden here. I am excited for this game.

 

[IvorB]

Oh hey, I read a book about this guy once: Samurai William. Is this really that character?

 

[UltraGunner]

A white guy becoming a samurai. I'd say it was the ultimate weeaboo fantasy if it wasn't based on history.

 

[Memento]

Wow. The combat looks really good and very Souls/Bloodborne-esque. This game is very promising.

 

[nailbombxx]

The important thing to consider is that it is a new IP influenced by all of those games, but does not seem to be a cheap pastiche of either of them. That in itself is really damn cool, not something you see every year.

 

[Angelus Errare]

And totes makes more sense and is more realistic than having black people in fictitious Victorian era London full of werewolves, vampires, fleets of blimps, coffee water that makes you almost immortal, etc!

 

[Zaventem]

Methodical =/= sluggish.

That's a piss poor excuse when the step dodge naturally speeds up movement. It looks braindead slow and this is coming from the biggest MH/Souls fan.

Um.... what? How in the seven hells is it slow?

 

[Sub_Level]

Wow the essence looks exactly the same aesthetically as Ninja Gaiden.

This is Samurai Gaiden: Action RPG Edition.

Lets not start this here.

Since we talking about historical accuracy where it's not needed: I'd totally play a game about Yasuke

 

[SolidSnakex]

The stats and armor screens are crazy. It seems like you can change every single piece of armor

 

[ZhugeEX]

It's all real time armour switching as well.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Very interested in what I've been seeing. I'm hoping I can get armor more suited to my tastes at some point in the game.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Nice. Too bad there's no character creator though.

 

[Kyuur]

Looks decent. The way the camera and targetting works is definitely Souls esque, but the actual combat seems closer to an action game.

 

[Squire]

This is the most inspired looking project TN has had in a decade.
