Last I saw it was listed as spring 09 for the Japanese PSN - no word on when it'll be out in the US or EU.

Holy crap that spider boss is crazy o.O although it doesn't seem to be doing as much damage as the ogre /dragon/zombie-thing bosses.
 
damnit ... I can't watch this at work. Would love to see the bosses.


This game is turning out to be everything I had hoped (well, I had hoped for 1st person and a slower pace - lol). But still, this is exactly how I would envision FROM taking KF, and making it 3rd person.

Don't worry, his tactic of hitting the spider once, then getting the shit kicked outta him while he runs like a bitch, is ensuring that he'll still be in this fight by the time you get home from work.
 
God damn that was an epic boss. I was cheering for him when he took that final blow!! Was that his first boss? Many more to go!

Sleeper hit of the effin year 09i!

Haha I want to stop watching but I can't. I don't want to spoil too much of the game but I feel so close to esegk, like I'm right there with him!! Nah really, I'm just blown away that a game with this much to offer is not in everyone's PS3...

The bosses man, the bosses!
 
God damn, I can't wait to get this. That boss was fuckin' epic! Despite my annoyance at his tactics, I was cheering him by the end. Just... wow!
 
Wow this looks really import friendly, English voice overs and an upgrade menu with easy to understand stats.

It's certainly the first proper boss i've seen him take down - he's killed a few of those red-tinged guys, but nothing on the spider boss' level up till now.

Plus, the Asian version with full English text launching on the 24th of Feb ;)

I'm still torn if I should wait it out, or just get the Japanese version... I feel like the menus will be easy enough to figure out and with English voice overs I won't miss the story.

Damn you for giving me that idea... now I'm thinking of ordering it. You are right, it's just stats and such, easy enough to figure out... argh, wait or buy... wait or buy...
 
Well if the Asian version will have full English text then what's to say this won't get released in other territories? I think we'll see this game come over within the year if that's the case.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the section that's being played on the stream now was in the TGS demo? it looks familiar.

Haha. I've been in contact with NCSx all day about it. They said their shipment of the JPN version will be delayed possibly til Monday. I think I'm just going to wait it out, there may be more information than we know...Plus I don't want to stumble upon some sort of log that tells backstory, that is, if there is something like that in-game.
 
Wow he's killing enemies, incl. armored soldiers, in one hit. Pretty impressive after seeing those other enemies owning him constantly.

What? You don't think there will be any difficulty playing the JP version? This will be my first import then.

It's not like its a 3 month wait-- just 3 weeks. I think it is worth it to wait.

Yea you're right, it's really not that long of a wait. Part of it is just impatience :-p I think waiting for the Asian version will be worth it, much better experience overall. Even if I did get the other version, I'd still have to LEARN the menu and figure out what is what, which will take a while for me.

Those were my impressions from watching the stream, but if there's a full English text version coming out later this month, I'd import that instead.
 
Holy crap at the enemy knocking him off the stairs and then jumping down after him. it's like a dead or alive 2 fight. :lol

I agree, plus on NCSx it's like 7 dollars cheaper for the Asian version. Full menu/voice over in English will really make the experience shine.
 
I'm looking at the stream...it seems like I'm watching a completely different game from you guys. :P

This is like the best video quality I've see on justin.tv though...wish every stream was like this. :P
 
wow... have been watching the live feed for 10 minutes. It's like Oblivion + ICO (atmosphere). Battle system looks cool also (though he is killing everybody with one hit). Any chance of this being released in Europe?
 
Sigh, yeah you guys are right. Just wait on the Asian version. But I want it now! Oh well, 3 weeks ain't bad.

Man, there's little wonder why this civilization collapsed and is filled with freaky soldiers and giant spider bosses, just look at the craftsmanship on those ox carts! One swipe of a sword and they fall apart!

Awesome comparison. I really digging the drab, gothic medieval setting, which the boxart reflects nicely.
 
Is the chat room loading for anybody at all, I'd like to comment on the video without switching tabs :lol .

So from what I gathered the HUD seems pretty intuitive. You can see what you have equipped in each hand (and their corresponding button) plus the equipped item. The top red bar is obviously health and the green one is stamina. I'm guessing the blue bar is magic, no idea what the bottom bar is. Also, is there no mini-map? This can either be a good thing or bad thing depending on how the level design is handled.

Killed everyone on the battlements. Was a hard fight, though. Will he ever learn to parry?

I don't think he's used it more than 2 or 3 times while playing, at least when I was watching last night. That's what's so frustrating about his style of playing. It's almost as if he's treating it like a run of the mill hack and slash.

LOL, you will be glad you did. I'm actually quite intrigued by what I know of the story. I really hope there is a good amount of plot. I don't care how it's revealed I just want to know moaR! I mean maiden in Black? She is a cryptic being but who the hell is she?!
 
God, if this game is indicative of what From Software can do with this platform, I really need to see what they do with a new King's Field.
 
A slime!

From Software knows my brain all too well.

I wonder if they'll squeeze a first-person perspective into the Asian version. That would make things very tense.
