Ghost of Yōtei gameplay deep dive 10th July (2pm PT // 5pm ET // 10pm UK)

Playing this game in black and white is fucking insanity

Ohh no a sequel looks like the first game that was fucking awesome. OHH THE HORROR!!!
Yeaaaah, I'm not sure what kind of "revolutionary sequel" people were expecting. It's a sequel to a game, of course it's going to be similar, they're not going to completely change the recipe, lmao. I think some people just really do love being disappointed or negative, it makes no sense to me sometimes, lol. What's here looks about what I would've expected for a sequel to a popular single player focused game. (I wonder if they'll add the PVE mode again?)

Looks great! Except for some performance hiccups, but that might just have been the stream.

Seems like different weapons take the place of the stances from the original? With different ones being good against different enemies.
 
I get that NeoGAF hates Sony with a passion, but some of the takes in this thread are beyond stupid.

Game looks great. No, it doesn't look like 'a PS4 game'. It's a sequel - did you expect it to suddenly become a first person shooter or something? Just dumb.
 
Alright that mode with the zoomed in camera, added blood/mud spray.. THAT is how i playing this. It better be available from your first playthrough
 
A fucking Samurai Champloo mode with music directed by Watanbe himself. What the *fuck* bro, that's insane! Takashi Miike too. Just wow! As someone who deeply loved the original for what it was, a love letter to Samurai cinema, this game looks like Tsushima with some more improvements. I'm still not 100% sold on the revenge premise (just find the premise of the original much cooler, a man hellbent on saving his country against Mongol invaders even if he has to do it alone), but overall this is all I needed to see. I'm in day 1.
 
Sorry sony bros but this is just about on a level with Shadows.

Remember when Sony really pushed it?
Wrong. Shadows sucks. When will people realize we don't consider ubisoft schlock real. It's a fake game bro. Screw shadows and I'll be honest anyone who played it lost just a little respect from me. Like, yuck. Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know because I wouldn't eat the nasty mofo.

Anyway, on topic, game looks good. I'm not seeing a lot of obvious woke stuff. I'm not hyped at all but I'll pick it up on sale.

Everything new here couldve been added to GoT - theyre basically QoL improvements. The core looks exactly the same.

If this gets over an 80 on opencritic, ill be suprised.

Hmm definitely not day 1 for me. The fighting will definitely be entertaining again, but the rest didn't really blow me away. I have too many games that I still want to play.
 
Looks to be a more refined version of the first game, so I'm in. The weather effects of seeing the storm in the distance and that rather insane draw distance look great.
 
Combat still look like rock paper scissor shit, and stealth look like automated shit (press triangle from an elevated platform and look at a cutscene, no timing required) like in the first game.

This, + no cities (we know, too hard eh ? Rise of the Ronin offered 3 cities though) + woman on a revenge (please...) is a hard pass for me.

Watanabe and Miike mode were cool. Looks pretty empty most of the time, not a flaw in my book but knowing it will be a ubislop game is a hard no.

The 1 button press that takes you back into the past so that you can play both in present time and back when she was a little girl is generational shit. That is fucking BADASS!! And the soundtrack for this game is going to be 'chefs kiss'.
