Calling this an "RPG" is pretty generous at the moment. It's an action game with RPG elements and visible damage numbers. I don't expect this to appeal to the dedicated roleplaying game crowd.
Thank you. I was wondering where the comparisons were coming from.
Quote for truth
Yeah the asset density seemed really low. Not sure if early development or just "linear game developer makes first open world game"
Hopefully the final game will be a bit denser.
I don't know. There's something that feels off about it. I like that you can control the dragon, you can order it to do specific things, it's a legitimately interesting mechanic. It's just that I feel that the main character is quite limited in his possibilities. And not even when he transformed, many moves were showed. It seemed also a bit too slow. The scale (ah!) seems big, though; also, while the framerate was quite bad, I'm not as worried as for the other things I've mentioned, since it's a Holiday 2016 release, thus it can be ironed out.
So, yeah, surprised and...midly disappointed right now. But it's possible that I was just expecting something else. Still, I'll look forward for other trailers/gameplay videos of the game.

I dig the headphone designs, but it's jarring alongside the sword and shield, casual outfit and dragon arm.
Lol.
Anyway kamiya should stick with dmc clones. He doesn't know how to make other games. This looks dated gameplay wise
You don't think there are going to be extensive leveling up mechanisms?

Protagonist looks like Nero and DmC's Dante did a Dragon Ball Z fusion.

Looked okay. I was hoping for a action game but it looked interesting enough. The combat was a bit slow for my tastes but I'll keep an eye on it.

Damn it, why did I miss MS's conference D=
I hate myself.
This looks great and I feel terrible for missing it live.
Still the game that makes me want an XB1.

People being down on this?
Action RPG from Kamiya, looks great. As for framerate, the game is like 14-16 months away.

Has potential, but I'm not sure if I could do a whole game of that protagonist.

I really like the gameplay but the character and ost is not cool, let's not speak about the framerate..
I think there will be some leveling choices (though I'm not convinced they'll be "extensive" yet), but I count that under "RPG-elements". It's just an arbitrary definition thing, like all other genre names, but I don't imagine roleplaying much in this game. That's all I'm saying.

Looks like FFXV plus Platinum's over the top action, dragons, and 'tude. So much 'tude. Let's hope it doesn't stay an X1 exclusive forever.

Why do people think MS is making Platinum with some of the design decisions? If so youd be sure the protag would have black hair.

This looks fantastic. Kinda like DMC x Monster Hunter.

Man, that looks incredible.
Mystified by the headphones on the main character, would expect a little more from Platinum if they wanted to signify he was "super cool."

The dragons look great, can't help but feel like I'd enjoy more if I were playing the dragon myself though. Controls always suck in games like that though.
The framerate means it wasn't staged, good news!
1) what
2) The PS2 era was awesome, would love to see more games fill in all the missing niches from back then
Platinum like never owns it's own IP, I'm sure MS is publishing. Unless you mean PC (excuse me--Windows 10). Wouldn't hold your breath either way.

Game looks fantastic. An Action RPG from Kamiya is like a dream. Plenty of time to improve the framerate as well with that release window.

I remember when people were complaining about frame rates for Dead Rising 3, and those were fixed a couple months before release... on a brand new console.
Relax about the framerate of a game with 12+ months of dev left, enjoy the dragons fighting earth monsters with 4 player coop?

Let's hope you can make your own character, because that dude looked like SHITTTTT.
Otherwise it looks cool.
Otherwise it looks cool.
Western audiences don't like damage numbers? What.
Half the appeal of Borderlands or Diablo is seeing numbers get bigger.
There looks to be extensive leveling systems for the arm, transformation, the character, and the dragon. If it's open world, I imagine there is a quest system. My understanding is that there is some level of customization with the main character.
I mean barring a dialogue system, this is by all accounts a RPG.
Uh...wut?

Great trailer ,
game looks awesome
it's like Devil may cry/blood borne coop + The last guardian pet system (what more could I want?)
I'll wait till 2025 when Xbox one is 25 dollars then I'll buy an xbox one and the game for 5 bucks.
Other wise I need to hold myself back from buying anymore consoles, I hardly play both my PS4 and Wii u
