That was the part of the trailer where I thought, "Maybe I -should- get a Vita."


Whoa, really? Soul Sacrifice looks great, and I won't compare the two because it's apples and oranges, but Monster Hunter 4 looks and sounds awesome.

the problem with mH4 graphics are the textures

4Gamer have some Soul Sacrifice devs on their livestream at the moment demoing the game.

Looks like:

-You can lock on to specific enemies, both for melee and ranged.

- A blue-ish outline appears around the enemy you lock on to.

- Enemies have no life bar on screen but you can hit one of the buttons on the d-pad which brings up a mode that darkens up the screen and you see enemies just as brightly colored outlines, you can judge the amount of health they have from the color of their outline.

Is there a way to rewatch it?

this one is interesting, why go all the trouble to dedicate a button to see enemy's health, I think there's more to this vision than just to see health, maybe locating weakpoints?

Day 0

This game seems to be full of win. Do want.

But what happened when your party members don't think jokes about the title are funny?

Seriously though, game sounds awesome. Month 1 buy for sure.

I would have sacrificed the hell out of that guy.

Here is 7 min of gameplay. Looks like the game runs pretty well.

 

[Canis lupus]

So hyped! Looks better than GE2.

 

[demosthenes]

Really can't wait for this game =D

 

[MagiusNecros]

The formula seems to be just kill baddies and big monster with magic.

And that's it.

Presentation is top notch but nothing much to it other then that.

Seems like a hack and slash with magic.

I like the Dark Fantasy atmosphere though.

Have you played a hunting game before? That's all they usually ever are. Monster Hunter and God Eater are the same way.

I have. I'm just pointing it out.

I hope it isn't as tedious as MH.

So saving defeated enemies will replenish your health while choosing to sacrifice them will replenish your sacrifice pool. I like how saving a fallen comrade requires a portion of your own health to be transferred. And how dead/sacrificed players can still influence the battle(revenge against those who betrayed you?). It fits the theme of 'sacrifice' well i think.

One thing for sure, there are plenty of interesting choices (with real consequences) to be made in this game.

But in MonHun we have armor and weapon´s pieces as loot... In Soul Sacrifice we only have material to use in next battle, and nothing permament...

At least it what I read...

Personally I think the battles have an intensity and brutality that I have seen in few games...
