[Ghost Slayer]

Yeah, looks like the usual Pc/Ps4 combo!

Looks really good, hopefully they will target 60fps on console.

I have great news for you :3

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

He's a westerner born to a japanese mother (If the script is still the original one) so he could draw the bow in two different ways at least

Kyudo or occidental.

 

[Philippo]

Completely sold, now i just need to see some of the story elements (and how close to Kurosawa's original script is) and then it's media blackout for me.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

But did he make the shot?

 

[sublimit]

If i'm going to nitpick about something the animations look a bit weird when the character is strafing (like his feet are sliding on the ground) but this was from the alpha version so maybe they have improved it by now.
Other than that holy shit i need this game!!

 

[semiconscious]

afa 'samurai' goes, i still would've preferred kenzan! - but this's a pretty damn awesome consolation prize ...

 

[Dark_castle]

Roses are red,
Violet are blue,
Onimusha is dead,
Ni-oh will do.

Nah, you're completely right. It does look off.

 

[Leafhopper]

Why are people comparing this game to Dark Souls at all...? It's closer to Onimusha and DMC and other Capcom action games of old than anything else.

 

[E-flux]

I love how accurate the animations are for the various sword techniques of the era. Like when he places his second hand at the end of the hilt for a power stance.

I agree that the sword animations looked good, however when he was wielding that spear it looked a bit retarded when most of his attacks were swung over head or from the sides and barely any stabbing action. So just based on that i doubt that they were aiming at the realistic side with most of the animations. They do look cool though.

Actually some moves are straight out of Ninja Gaiden. I guess the reason is because it has a stamina bar and such. Nothing Dark Souls invented, but you can't deny they took some influences from those games as well.

 

[Easy_D]

Onimusha Souls is looking damn good.

Edit: Wow, that aura around the boss where everything behind it turns black and white, that's a really cool effect they've made

 

[Zaki2407]

Onimusha? Is that you ?.....

 

[rockman zx]

I don't like the black & white smoke effect (or whatever you want to call it) when he fights the boss, the rest looks amazing, I really hope they can recapture that Ninja Gaiden Black magic when it comes to combat execution.

 

[Leafhopper]

Yeah Ninja Gaiden too. I get that DS could have influenced some of the design decisions but, the people comparing it solely to DS, it's a bit silly.

 

[Ogawa-san]

I like how enemies have a stamina bar too, I guess it means they'll follow the same rules as the MC instead of being able to attack whenever they want.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Oh you're right. This would be crazy good if there is exhausting like in Monster Hunter.

 

[-Horizon-]

So rather than the white wolf he's the burning wolf.

 

[Ghost Rider]

This looks so good. Love the changing stances and can't wait to play

 

[GribbleGrunger]

This is going to be the next Demon's Soul.

 

[Defuser]

Thats not Samurai Souls.....That sidestep and the action..it's more like Bloodborne in Sengoku settings.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Onimusha Souls is looking damn good.

Everything about it is top notch. This is going to be a huge hit.

 

[sublimit]

Nah, you're completely right. It does look off.

Yeah its animations are the bigest problem for now but since this was alpha footage i'm almost confident that they will improve them by the time the game comes out.

Also like someone else said i really hope this game does well just to make Capcom kick themselves for ignoring Onimusha for so long. >:]

 

[shinobi602]

Looks fantastic.

Yeah it looks like all movement animations are unfinished, while the sword animations are already on point. But this is TGS footage, I think the newer trailer from PSX shows some improvements already.

 

[Platinum Mad]

I'm seeing a lot more of Ninja Gaiden than I thought there would be.
That black and white effect looks incredible but it makes it a little difficult to see what the enemy is doing.
My interest continues to grow.

 

[The Last One]

Is it already announced for the west?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Is it already announced for the west?

Yeah, it was shown at PSX.

 

[The Last One]

Yeah, it was shown at PSX.

Thanks. Now I hope they don't take too long to bring it over here.

 

[True Fire]

Looks amazing. The animations are still a bit rough though, and I'm not a fan of the pace. But I'm sure those things will improve.

 

[Mdk7]

Looks really, really great and hopefully it will be a return to their former glory for Team Ninja.
I pray for a 2016 release in the West!

 

[Sesha]

I mean, I wouldn't want a new Onimusha that had Souls inspiration. I'd want a wacky story with relatively over the top action as before.

I don't think you have to worry. It's Capcom. They're incapable of making a story that isn't wacky.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

The boss' grab was actually telegraphed, so team ninja must be learning.

Going by this footage, it's a fairly shameless souls rip but it looks fun!

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

The Souls influence is strong with this one, but still looks cool. Combat doesn't like quite as weighty or satisfying, but getting my hands on it might help change my view on that.

 

[ironcreed]

Samurai Souls, baby. Looks so amazing.

 

[Revan]

What I REALLY want is a new Ninja Gaiden.

This will do however - I don't like the souls games but this has me very intrigued.

 

[mrmickfran]

The boss needs a separate health bar.

The way it looks now makes the boss look like a regular enemy.

 

[ironcreed]

Thats not Samurai Souls.....That sidestep and the action..it's more like Bloodborne in Sengoku settings.

Samuraiborne-Gaiden, lol.

 

[robotzombie]

I'm so excited for this game, I just really, really hate that running animation

Spoiler

i think he may have shit his diaper

 

[semiconscious]

that's what i see ...

 

[GHG]

This looks so good.

Really looking forward to it.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I haven't been much of a fan for these types of games. (Rougelike?) Nioh seems to be the one for me.

 

[robotzombie]

This is definitely nothing like a Rogue-like

 

[SuitedforGaming]

SoulsGaidenMusha....I have my eye on you.

 

[Newtype-001]

Still hyped!

Not sure where you are getting Roguelike from.

 

[Marty-esque]

Looks so good. Hopefully it's released this year.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Not sure where you are getting Roguelike from.

Gonna have to excuse me. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to genre definition. I was mainly drawing parallels to the soulsborne game and I thought those games were known as rougelikes. If that's wrong please tell me.

The point is I saw the deliberate quiet and dark settings, enemy placement, reactions, and so forth and it reminded me of those games. Something of a personal grief I have with those games is the slower, more methodical combat. Nothing wrong with it. Just not for me.

I'm not saying Nioh won't be methodical as well either, just that combat looks more my speed and I'm hype for it.

Again though, if Rougelike is incorrect or Nioh isn't rougelike at all, please tell me.

 

[Raptor]

Running animation looks wrong, how he runs with his hands on the side lol.

Everything else looks good, but the boss effects wil get distracting after awhile.

 

[PantsuJo]

This is the only game that will convince me to buy PS4.

But I hope for a PC release someday.

 

[Kaako]

I'll take any Nioh footage right now. This game looks fantastic.
