Looks awesome. I hope this game does really well.

DrumBeat1875d ago

Agreed. The combat looks really engaging and a bit complex. Lots of parrying and perfectly timed strikes required, just like other From games, only it looks more challenging. Definitely much faster.

Flewid6381874d ago

And I love how the hit animations actually make the characters lean back and move with their feet. So many games SINCE the 80s still do that shit where your character just gets pushed back unrealistically.

Its the little things that make a huge diff. Cant WAIT.

DrumBeat1875d ago

As is mine, but honestly, I wouldn't count on FromSoftware to optimize their hearts out for the X or the Pro.

DF's latest analysis with the latest code has it at 1080p for the Pro. Their games don't perform poorly by any means, but they're not exactly the best performers either.

Yi-Long1875d ago

Well, sadly, another reason to choose the XBO version over the PS4 version these days, is Sony's releases now getting censored. Most recent example is of course the ridiculous censorship in DMC5.

Forn1875d ago (Edited 1875d ago )

I believe this is their first 60fps game on console as well though. A hit in resolution is expected if so.

BizarroUltraman1874d ago (Edited 1874d ago )

My X is ready just not for this game! Its a skip for me.... I like challenging games but these dumbass "souls like games" are getting annoying. Hope its a great game for you guys. Don't worry those that disagreed, X get them triggered quick! bwahahaha

Nacho_Z1874d ago

Bit daft to write it off as a "dumbass Souls like game" when it's made by the people who created and make the Souls games.

bluebenjamin1874d ago (Edited 1874d ago )

Im not surprised by the downvotes they were probably system generated knowing N4G 👀 I would hope it wasn’t Playstation gamers downvoting just because I play on a different console then Playstation no way they can stoop that low were gamers first right

Felix_Argyle_Catbro1875d ago

I'm so tempted to watch these videos, but I'm going in as blind as possible. The E3 reveal trailer is the only thing I've watched from this.

Critic4l_Strik31875d ago

Isnt this the same scene/boss they have shown since it was first revealed?

Before Miyazaki Retires, We Need To Get A Sekiro Sequel

A sequel to the studio's acclaimed title, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, would be the perfect swan song for long-time video game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.

H915d ago

Man you didn't have to do me like that with the title

LoveSpuds15d ago

I just don't see it happening given the success of Elden Ring. I think we'll be seeing a sequel to Elden Ring before anything else.

Demetrius15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

I'm not into souls games but it's good to see that this dev studio stick to what makes their titles unique, there's alot of souls copy n pasted games but they rarely get talked about cause they're looked at as copies and not original created ideas, the souls games are unique cause they offer they're own identity instead imitating I respect that

jznrpg15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Or Bloodborne 2 preferably both but that’s a lot to ask if he plans on retiring sooner than later

Leeroyw15d ago

Bloodborne 2 or I'd simply love a 60fps remaster. I'd also love a bloodborne randomiser option.

toxic-inferno14d ago

I'm definitely holding out hope for a Bloodborne 60fps remaster still. Some extra features thrown in would be nice too.

With regards to a sequel, I'd actually rather From Software make another new IP with a different setting. That is what made Bloodborne so good - the fact that it took a proven formula and applied it to a completely new setting.

anast14d ago

The hype would be insane if they announced Bloodborne 2.

Inverno15d ago

What if they made a Sekiro/Bloodborne mix?

I regret i never played it, like many other great games!! Still on my radar, when i become retro gamer in a year or two with all this gaas crap happening around

Psychonaut8518d ago

Absolutely. Amazing art design, and didn’t have the Bloodborne problem so it runs at 60FPS on newer hardware, which is amazing given the reaction based gameplay

Cacabunga18d ago

Wait did it get a next gen patch??

Sciurus_vulgaris18d ago

This one title that never clicked with me. I enjoyed Dark Souls, Demon Souls and Bloodborne, but I never warmed up to Sekiro’s parry-focused combat. I honestly gave up on the game at about the half way point.

Armyofdarkness18d ago

Me too. But after the Stellar Blade demo and parrying like crazy I’m tempted to go back and play this again

Inverno18d ago

Took me a couple years too get into when I first bought it. I had gotten so used to Bloodborne that the gameplay was genuinely confusing me. Picked it up a third time and clicked. The game is souls stripped of all its RPG elements and left with nothing but it's combat. It's Souls at its pureness but I can see why the combat would turn people off. That's why I liked it so much tho, without the choice of weapons it's very focused on a specific style. I think a sequel with a small selection of weapons but each fleshed out would be the right step.

Sciurus_vulgaris18d ago

My problem with Sekiro was the combat, I didn’t find it as engaging as Bloodborne, DarkSouls due to the lack of RPG elements. I even found action games like Ninja Gaiden 1-2 and Ghost of Tsushima more engaging as well.

The 7 Best Souls-Like Games - Mastering the Challenge

The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?

toxic-inferno26d ago

Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.

kevco3326d ago

Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?

Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?

Smellsforfree26d ago

I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.

Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.

Cacabunga26d ago

I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2

toxic-inferno26d ago

For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.
