Not what i was expecting from Fromsoftware but it looks fantastic, the movement/grappling looks so slick and i like the brighter but still gritty visual design.

Skull5212147d ago

Day one purchase for the Xbox One X best version for sure!

Haha don’t get me wrong, I’ll be playing Bloodborne 2 as well, assuming it actually exists. Would be nice if it came to Xbox as well though since my PS4 Pro isn’t nearly as powerful, and the controller is trash. Bloodborne is a good enough game to buy a PS4 for. Was a little worried with Bloodborne being only on PS4 that this game had a possiblity of being there too, glad to see it on Xbox!

@skull521

No that would be the pc version..... Like every multiplatform game.

Blazphemy2147d ago

Sony owns the Bloodborne IP, you wont see it on Xbox or PC

starchild2147d ago

Honestly, this is close to my dream game. It seems to combine what I love from two of my favorite franchises--Tenchu and Dark Souls--into one incredible game. I love stealth, I love deep challenging combat, I love the mystical feudal Japan setting. Yeah, this is more exciting than Bloodborne to me. It hits all the right notes. And it being available on the PC is brilliant. Now I can be free from the low stuttery framerates and play it with improved visuals and fidelity.

Flewid6382147d ago

With that controller? Chill.

"looks 10x better than bloodborne"

Shame, must be like a stake through the heart for you knowing such a masterpiece like bloodborne is a PS4 exclusive. Hopefully bloodborne 2 will be announced and im holding thumbs that it will drive you mentally insane, resulting in you being admitted to a mental institution where you belong lol, which will be awesome because then we can finally not see your worthless, brain cell killing comments on here as well:)

Yeah, I was not expecting the Japanese setting. Almost like FromSoftware is looking Nioh right in the eye, and saying like, "...yeah, what of it?"

Looks really, really awesome to me, personally.

starchild2147d ago

Well, after the first Shadows Die Twice trailer I was nearly certain it was set in feudal Japan. I just wasn't sure whether it would be a Tenchu revival or a new IP altogether.

P_Bomb2147d ago (Edited 2147d ago )

@19 seconds I was like...Nioh?!? That’s one of my armors, heh

Still surprised Activision’s getting in on the Soulsbornes. It’s such a departure.

porkChop2147d ago

Yeah, that caught me off guard. But there's money in Souls games, so I guess it makes sense.

The_Hooligan2147d ago

Yup that is the only thing that worries me. I have full confident in From Software but Activision not so much. But I would love to be proven wrong. Also this may be a dumb question but is this Xbox exclusive or will it be on other platforms? I am pretty sure since Activision is producing it will be on multiple platforms. If not then I will definitely be borrowing my friend's Xbox.

P_Bomb2146d ago

It’s on PS4 too, no worries. Big PS4 logo pops up at the end, bottom middle of the screen.

Eiyuuou2147d ago

As I expected, it's not BB2. Consider me hyped! I love japanese folklore.

Sunny_D2147d ago

Yet.... Sony’s is tomorrow...😉

Mr Marvel2147d ago

I'll be buying this day 1 for PS4.

starchild2147d ago

Day one for me on PC. Then I'll probably get it for my PS4 Pro later on just to support the developer, help the game succeed, and send the message that we want more games like this.

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.

H914d ago

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

LoveSpuds14d 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.

Demetrius14d ago (Edited 14d 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

jznrpg14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

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

Leeroyw14d 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.

Inverno14d 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

Cacabunga17d 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.

Armyofdarkness17d ago

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

Inverno17d 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_vulgaris17d 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?

Smellsforfree25d 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.

Cacabunga25d ago

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

toxic-inferno25d ago

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