Respawn: Sekiro Is Very Similar to Jedi Fallen Order; Asmussen Loved FromSoftware Since King's Field

Respawn developers said Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a very similar game to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Game Director Stig Asmussen even added he's a big fan of FromSoftware since the days of King's Field.

[ccgr]

Looks promising

[rdgneoz3]

The combat was not even close to the quality of Sekiro, so hopefully they use the time till release wisely.

[Christopher]

This exactly, almost. I wouldn't say "quality" so much as style. They look like two different games in design as far as combat, one more focused on abilities and cinematic appeal with less of a focus on timing while the other is more focused on skill and timing.

[UltraNova]

From what was shown so far nothing and I mean nothing looked like Sekiro. Especially the combat and general gameplay fluidity which Jedi:FO was God awful btw.

[rdgneoz3]

@Chris. One of the clips shown at E3 had the main character deflecting a blaster round that was like 2 feet from his lightsaber...

24:07 in, as he rounds the boxes look at where his lightsaber and the blaster round are when it bounces back... https://www.reddit.com/r/St...

Sekiro (and Fromsoftware in general) has attention to the little details. The game looks nice, but they are very different in terms of gameplay quality and style of maps (open areas vs corridors).

[Potnoodle999]

Im pretty sure it should say Jedi fallen order is similar to sekiro.... anyway just came to say that. Won’t be picking this one up, as you know...

EA.

[Jackhass]

Interesting. Presumably, it's not nearly as hard though.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Imagine believing what an EA dev has to say. Thats a yikes from me

[DaDrunkenJester]

There is no reason to doubt Respawn yet. Their track record has been good... but this is only the second game under EA for them, and it's a SW game so EA isn't going to miss out on making money on it so I understand the trepidation haha

[Ratchet75]

Excuse me, but the E.A dev your calling liar is the guy that produced and directed GOD OF WAR 3, WI h is one of the best playstation 3 game ever made.
Nuff said😉😉

[PapaBop]

^^^ Produced without some greedy twat like EA breathing down his neck. You could make a long list of noteworthy names in game development whose work took a nose dive since EA got control of them.

[deadfrag]

No its not!

[Alexious]

How would you know exactly?

[Germaximus]

Way to make me not want the game anymore. I hope it's just another nonsensical comparison to Souls games.

[DaDrunkenJester]

I somehow doubt that it will even have an ounce of Sekiro's World, enemy, and combat design, but if that is the case... this game definitely got a whole lot more interesting.

[rainslacker]

We've already seen gameplay, and it looks more like it plays like any standard third person action adventure game, but with light sabers. About the only thing I'd say was accurate was the aim of the storm troopers

[GameBoyColor]

Man i said that when they revealed gameplay that it was very similar to sekiro. Yall aint believe me and now I feel vindicated lmao.

[Notellin]

Don't worry too much about the N4G community it's a cesspool.

[TheOptimist]

Another PR stint that'll do well in stand up comedy.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Sekiro/souls games have their audience but they have just as many detractors, Star Wars has to appeal to all age groups. This game looks waaay too easy and run-of-the-mill, maybe it was just the demo they were showing - but it looked very bland.

[DaDrunkenJester]

Well maybe this is the easy mode Sekiro all the cry babies have been wanting haha

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Could be - either way nothing appealed to me about the reveal.

[jznrpg]

It does not have to appeal to all age groups . If you try to please everyone you end up making a crappy game. They just need to make a good game this won’t be the last Star Wars game made

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Disney won't want their golden property handled in an artistic/free way. Cookie cutter gameplay comes to mind.

Rasmussen is just trying to label it something it clearly is not. It may be developed by RESPAWN but it's publisher by EA and licensed to them by Disney.

That should be enough to make people wary of anything related to this game.

[drunkenspy007]

I'm sure they mean Jedi Fallen Order is similar to Sekiro, since Sekiro is already out.

[SegaGamer]

I was going to say the say thing.

[mirandocartelera]

Great news everyone!

[criticalkare]

Wondering if this game is gonna be on EA access

[Father__Merrin]

Sekiro was a frustratathon

[Soybetaboy]

🤣🤣🤣

[Summons75]

Um, it didn't look anything like Sekiro gameplay-wise. It looks like a watered-down Force Unleashed.

[CorndogBurglar]

It doesn't look anything like Force Unleashed. It looks like a watered down Sekiro.

[Summons75]

It looks exactly like Force Unleashed but with everything that made Force Unleash awesome taken out. Sekiro's gameplay is smooth and calculated, this was absolutely nothing close to that.

[TheGamez100]

You mean jedi fallen order is very similar to sekiro.

[Minute Man 721]

How is Sekior similar to Fallen Order if Sekior was released 1st?

Edit: misleading headline

[NiteX]

This game just got a whole lot less interesting.

[zodiac909]

If only EA would focus on giving their devs TIME to make quality, unique products, instead of churning out yearly quick cash grabs, and mediocre products, they might actually be able to earn back some fans, and respect...

[chrono1205]

Take a new Kings Field. Not to exited over this.

[DOOMZ]

Sekiro was all about blocking and parrying, HARD PASS!

[quent]

Wish these guys had a better game engine to work with instead of that pretty but shallow basic bitch frostbite engine, just so EA can cut corners

[GameBoyColor]

This is unreal 4

[AK91]

I sincerely doubt that.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Sekiro should be their template and should emulate as much as possible.

[RoseSapphire]

I should hope not. I've been playing FromSoftware since King's Field as well and as much as I love their style in the SoulsBorne games I don't want to see that level of difficulty in a Star Wars title. Give me strong, creative combat but let me have something that is paced enjoyably.

[Moe-Gunz]

I didn’t get that from the gameplay footage but we’ll see I guess

[Edito]

No no it's the other way around Jedi Fallen Order is similar to Sekiro and yes I still don't trust this game.

[LoveSpuds]

Such a shame that a great studio like DICE got into bed with EA, I feel like no matter what DICE do in future, their reputation is forever tarnished.

[criticalkare]

Its a shame why would any developers would join up with EA in the first place....

[LoveSpuds]

True enough squire, you have to wonder why anyone one would want to be associated with EA.

[Exvalos]

Dont know bout this one chief the AI in star wars looks dumb as dirt

[Vithar]

i'll need to see it for myself. did NOT get that vibe from E3 gamplay

[Good-Smurf]

He was the God of War 3 Director but man the EA syndrome just got him fully.

[DarXyde]

No.

Jedi: Fallen Order is, at best, similar to Sekiro.

The nerve of some people to frame it like a game that isn't out yet is somehow the influence for a March title.

[gangsta_red]

I didn't see any Sekiro type of gameplay when watching this demo. All that came to mind was that too familiar Uncharted/Tomb Raider gameplay. Standard, but nothing to get worried about.
