UE4 Indie game Lost Soul Aside looks very impressive

Looks good.
I would prefer the sword slash effect to be a bit more translucent and lighter in colour as it obstructs the character from being seen and you don't want hat when the character already moves fast and has stuff like a dash where he pretty much disappears.
 
Really more impressed by the DMC-like gameplay than the basic UE4 graphics.
Great job, and thanks for linking that!
 
This reminds me very much of FFXV. Looks like older Noctis running around in a less artistically polished Eos 2.0.
 
Looks incredible for a 1 man game. Honestly looks as good as a big budget game and better than other UE4 games I've seen. Combat looks sick.
 
Amazing work by only one person, whew. The cutscene with the character, that looks like Noctis, at the beginning looked pretty much as good as FFXV if not better facial-animation-wise. Or am I crazy?

Yea that bit is just you seeing things since it's simply not possible. That scene you are talking about, look again and you'll see that the only animation you have there are the blinking eyes, moving hair and lips which is most likely just using the UE4's lip syncing feature...very simplistic and it is for a reason since at the end of the day it is just one guy.
 
Mc looks like an animu husbando
But the action looks nice basically what I expected dragon scale or ff xv, or like a next gen dark siders
 
Wow, that was absolutely not what I expected when I clicked this thread and then the trailer link. I expected some kind of pretty looking first person "walking simulator" or horror or something, not some kick ass over the top action style game.

Looks super cool. Will be keeping an eye on this!
 
So a single guy is doing animation scripting programming sound design gameplay and level design?

How is this possible
 
Square-Enix or Platinum are gonna hire this man, right?

Please.

ah I rather he realizes his game instead of becoming a work horse. Square or Platinum is free to buy IP rights and give him a budget or a team....

OR he could crowdfund this and be given freedom to do what he needs, though Square's production tools could make this game look even more pretty.
 
I'd say FFXV's facial animation is better, but this is impressive nevertheless.

Facial animation, especially the mouth, is one of the few aspects in FFXV I'm less optimistic about. If we assume this is not just an unfinished cutscene (and I really hope it is), it's absolutly not good (here mainly Noctis', the rest is okay):

Looks almost comically bad how fast his mouth flaps up and down when he speaks and his mouth looks derpy in its idle position. Let's hope this is just a rough base version of the cutscene with unedited automatic lip-sync based on the audio (tech, which some games, like Uncharted, TLoU, or TW3, use: http://www.annosoft.com/lipsync-sdks).
 
No way, just one person? With such a big beautiful world and a super impressive combat system? In two years? I have no words, really impressive!
