Nioh - Debut Trailer - "PS4 Console Exclusive"

Samurais are the same as fantasy knights. What's the difference gameplay wise? Please don't start with katana and sword difference. It's not like videogame producers seems to care.
You say this, but even with knights, when was the last 60fps action game with knights/samurais we got?!
 
Originally announced by Koei in 2004 (before their merger with Tecmo made them Koei Tecmo), the game is based on an unfinished script by legendary Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa titled Oni.

Yes please.

Whaaa...? That is incredible. All we need is a Toshiba Mifune esque character and we are good to go. Kurosawa Souls!
 
The fast paced action lost me when camera focused on a finishing move. I hate this "cinematic" shit.
This game does the same thing many games already did but a little faster. That's not so excite worty imho.

Also if the game is dull but the boss is cool, why should I bother even getting there? I don't like chores.

You seem to have a problem understanding this so I'll break it down for you, Nioh has 4 main things going for it.

1) High commitment stamina based combat, but at a faster pace
2) Smooth 60 fps with AAA Budget
3) Dark fantasy art direction in a period Japanese setting
4) Original IP developed by Team Ninja
 
Onimusha + Souls = Win

Can't wait! :)

Well, in the past, "console exclusive" meant "it's coming to PC too," but apparently it isn't?

I don't know anymore. Don't listen to me.
Console exclusive means that the only console where it's going to be released is PS4. May or may not be released on PC. In the japanese stated "2016 - Only on PS4", which can be interpreted that wouldn't be a PC version, at least during 2016 (but again, can be talking only about console since PC in Japan is even more niche than here compared to consoles).
 
Samurais + dark Japanese mythology + a cross between Souls and Ninja Gaiden style gameplay + a Dark Souls RPG and online structure = absolute god-tier potential.
 
It's extremely obvious that this game is taking the exact souls formula and putting a samurai spin on it.

And know what? That's fucking awesome.
I hope proper, skill-based and methodical 3rd person sword combat is here to stay forever instead of that garbage 'mash X or O' nonsense we see on a daily basis.
 
Been hyped for this since TGS, day one boys.

What's up with the "ps4 console debut" nonsense? Just say it's confirmed only on the ps4 thus far. Anyway on topic, this game gives the onimusha vibe I've missed since dawn of dreams.
 
Noooo I've been trying to stay strong and avoid buying another system I don't have time for, but damn does this game look gooood.
 
Well damn, another exclusive for PS4. It's Team Ninja, shame Xbox isn't getting it. MS has some very promising exclusives for next year but they definitely need a lot more. Sony really isn't sitting still.

Holy shit that's awesome.
When do you guys think it'll release? I guess 2016 is a bit far fetched?
 
It looks potentially good, but it's difficult to decide just from that trailer. The environments are very dark (or maybe it's the video quality) and uninspired, but the combat combat could be interesting. I hope they show off a bit more enemy and environment variety.

For now we just have a vague 2016 release date.

If I were to guess, given what we've seen here and at TGS... And assuming no delays... Maybe Fall 2016?

Earliest I would say June.
 
I sure as hell hope it hits next year, as advertised. On top of everything else releasing, this game is making PS4 in 2016 look like this:

That would be excellent. Hope they're estimating it well and there won't be any delays.

Mods title edited all of the games shown at PSX that used Sony lingo designed to obfuscate the actual platforms the games are coming to.

The vast majority of games shown at PSX are most likely coming to other platforms, with only a few being shown that were completely exclusive to PS4.

It's not confirmed only on the PS4.
Is PS4 console exclusive as stated in the thread title.
It won't be released on other consoles.

I understand that it's ps4 only so far but I don't understand why people are making these tags lines now when alot of games in the past have been Playstation only for a while and released later on something else. The same can be said about pc games that's got a console port later on lol but you didnt see these tag lines on say Diablo 3 or wasteland when the devices themselves said they had interest in bringing them to other platforms. Which none of the devs at the psx experience has said a word about other platform Ports, even though we know better, everyone can figure out the obvious as seen with VC getting a PC port years later out of the blue.
 
So, Nioh and Dark Souls III in 2016? Now all I need is FROM to announce that Cyber-Horror Souls title I've been fiending for and my 2016 is set.
 
This game looks so great man. Really liking the atmosphere and gameplay. I'm glad it was announced out of the blue, such a great surprise.
 
What are the odds that the protag is going to be able to do some kind of Izuna Drop, as an homage to Ninja Gaiden? I've done Izuna Drop so many times that I remember the input for it before I remember the name.
 
Exclusive or not, I don't care, I'll be buying this on day ZERO, the game is reviving a genre/them that is almost dead, a Samurai setting coupled with Japanese Demons "Oni", mixed with super powers, fast paced yet methodical combat gameplay with different sword/fighting stances, WHO COULD SAY NO TO THAT !!

I only wonder about the story, I hope Team Ninja focus on making a strong story, I don't want the story to be handled like in Dark Souls or something, I want a clear and very strong story.
 
Looks fantastic. I can feel that satisfying 1080p60fps visceral combat in my bones just from the youtube video, can't wait to put my hands on it.
 
The mods specifically edited the actual lingo into the title to prompt discussion.

Okay, let's clarify-- we put the platform it was announced for into the title as we do for all game announcements, and we put it into the title to prevent an entire derail around what is or is not exclusive (looks like we failed). Mods do not drive or prompt discussion by editing titles.

Yes please.
In that case, shouldn't the main character look more like this:
