God I missed Super Hype Historical Fiction Japanese Intros.

 

[Skyo]

....that last bit seems really spoilery. Pretty cool

Yup, as we kind of figured, that was the leaked trailer Chaos2Frozen made a thread about a while ago. Too bad they changed the music, I liked the leaked version more. Still a pretty hype opening video. The end part can veer into spoiler territory, but it wasn't really unexpected.

God I missed Super Hype Historical Fiction Japanese Intros.

Is this Onimusha 2-level?

 

[Neoleo2143]

Is this Onimusha 2-level?

Probably not. The Beginning is a bit too messy. But still. Super Hype.

 

[orochi91]

That was gorgeous.

I want an anime set in the Nioh universe

:V

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

A Koei historical fiction without Super Saiyan sommersaults or somesuch in the opening feels weird.

 

[wapplew]

Music is good.

 

[wandering]

Still bummed that the original Kurosawa concept never came to fruition.

Also

Spoiler

is that Nobunaga at the end?

Let's just say that the soundtrack has a track named just that on it. You do the math.

 

[AESplusF]

Music is amazing.

Was under the impression the villain people were Mitsunari Ishida and Yoshitsugu, since the actual william adams assisted Tokugawa and that'd be the main fight right?

 

[Masterspeed]

Are you sure this isn't the Great Wall?

 

[j0hnnix]

I'm holding on to my butts and not watching. This game like Yakuza has me pretty hyped and Yakuza delivered. So I'm extra excited for Nioh.

 

[matrix-cat]

The PS2 golden era never died, it just went to sleep for a decade or so. Q1 2017 is the glorious awakening.

 

[Eria]

There are various streamers playing the game at twitch. Life is so unfair.

 

[Phloxy]

Gonna be playing at https://www.twitch.tv/namtox
I haven't seen any of the videos of any major channels or any of the openings.

Going in blind, keeping the chatter to a minimum outside of answering some questions, feel free to ask me anything you wanna know!

Just going to be doing the first hour or two for tonight though.

A caucasian man from the British Isles going by the name of William Adams was a Samurai in service of Togukawa Ieyasu at the time period the game is depicting. Whatever additions and adaptations this game includes, Miyura Anjin was a real thing. Please don't confuse this with something like the Great Wall.

 

[SuitedforGaming]

Is this Onimusha 2-level?

Not at all, but it's still the first thing that popped into my mind as I watched it lol

It was just a joke, I'm actually looking forward to the game.
