Is this a Next gen only game? Minimum PC specs are pretty hefty for a last gen release (Rzen 2600 - 12 gb ram - RX 5500) This game is not a looker by any means...

Aside from my CPU (although I did do a tiny OC), does that mean I'll be somewhat fine?

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 8G
i5-8600K 3600 1151 - Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH Edition
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB - PC4-24000
Kingston A2000 1TB M.2

 

[//DEVIL//]

I mean with all respect .. I got bored 4 mins in watching the gameplay. How can I play this ?
Or even pay full price for it ?

Pass from me. If it hit game pass one day in the future on pc I'll give it a try . Or maybe if it universally gets a higher score I'll look at it again. So far from that video . Uh no

 

[Thedtrain]

Definitely not my type of game but I thought it looked pretty cool.

Art direction is neat, this feels unique to me

 

[sircaw]

Watched the video, here are my two cents.

Like the way the game looks, bright colorful environments.

However, to me something is off with the spell casting/weaving, The effects look great but it feels lifeless in its actual impact of the spells.

It's really hard to explain but I felt like you were just going through the motions, casting, destroying mobs and proceeding to the next. It felt kinda lifeless to me in the combat feel department.

Hope i am wrong.

Damn. Some of you have some unrealistic standards- I think it looks beautiful.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Damn, this is shaping up nicely.

Graphics whoring is really obnoxious! They don't look at actual visuals, they just look at the pixels and texture and see if "next gen".

God is becoming annoying.

well let's be honest here. this is only a next gen only title because Sony wanted to have PS5 exclusives. same reason Deathloop is only on next gen. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets ported to Xbox One after the Sony contract is over...

 

[Mister Wolf]

Day one for me.

 

[adamsapple]

Sigh, the wait for March 2023 will be hard .. this is the kind of game that's right up my alley.

 

[PuffyCan]

Looks incredible, migth not be able to wait until March 2023 for this one

 

[BennyBlanco]

You guys are right, this would be sick in VR. Sadly, I doubt it happens.

 

[Ezquimacore]

looks badass, finally a game that is not the same shit.

 

[Hendrick's]

Is this is VR? If not, it needs to be. VR hand controls would be awesome.

MS should contact Marvel and get them on it.

 

[Lognor]

Looks boring. Mc doing all this shit magic against helpless enemies. Where's the fun?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Looks fun, but kinda let down if it ends being a Far Cry kind of game.

This touches upon a point I'd not realized in the footage. The enemies, for how nice they look aesthetically to me, don't actually come off as "threatening" in how they've been presented. You'd think especially since they went with FPS view, these enemies should be things that you would be cautious of and not just rush in to attack. But I'm worried that the focus on "action" here too much has removed any "Horror" aspect they could have had. And on the gameplay side, I didn't see any interesting looking attacks or moves by the enemy characters either to take advantage of their unique appearances.

Also it feels like the overall Brightness and saturation to these enemies seems very high. I'd have preferred a much darker looking game lighting environment than what it is currently looking like.

 

[Companion Cube]

Is this is VR? If not, it needs to be. VR hand controls would be awesome.

I'm thinking the same thing. I will probably get this on PC in case somebody like-minded and talented makes a VR mod with hand gestures and all.

They have repeatedly said that it's not a horror game of any kind though, it's an action/adventure game with paranormal elements that might give it a spooky feel. Interviewers annoyingly were trying really hard to get something out of them to say it's got a bit of horror in it. I am glad they didn't go for anything dreary. Leave that for TEW.

Youkai doesn't necessarily mean it has to be horror.

 

[Clover904]

Looks fantastic. Love how good the spell casting looks. I will definitely be picking this one up.

 

[lachesis]

This reminds me of Kujaku-oh (Peacock King) manga that I used to read back in the days - especially the earlier episodes that focused on paranormal activities.
I like the fact that it doesn't seem to be focusing overly on precision "aiming" like other gun shooting games.

Environment looks really good - but the characters do look little rough... but good thing is that you don't really look at your character much in this genre

 

[lh032]

Game looks amazing to me, AI doesnt look very threatening though

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Enemies have the intelligence of Deathloop enemies it seems.

Skip. Microsoft must of told them not to make the games look next gen.

 

[vpance]

Looks good. The short clip at 9:20 shows more of the crazier enemies.

 

[kyliethicc]

I wonder if this game will be playable in PSVR2.

 

[ManaByte]

Is this digital only? Can't find a listing for a physical release anywhere.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Looks unique and intriguing, I always trust in Mikami to deliver with whatever he's involved in. My two concerns:

1. Something about the physics seems off, attacks lacking a kinetic feel and that certain "oomph".

2. As I wrote in another thread, why SONY is stacking so many exclusives so close to eachother is a mystery and makes very little sense in maximizing sales potential. This would have been a *perfect* summer release, June/July when things are slower, feel like it's just being sent out to die in light of M$ acquiring Bethesda.

Love the enemy designs and slick animations, "wire execution" animation in particular looks dope af. Exploring a vibrant, neon-lit Tokyo with with all manner of strange beast set loose is an exciting proposition but it will have to wait until much later, way too many other games coming out in Feb/March that will be taking my time and $$$, shame.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Doctor Strange in Tokyo. It's hard to grasp how it's gonna play, are those hand-waving signals really gonna be fun to do throughout the entire game?

That's one of the most awesome selling points.

 

[Robb]

The game looks really great imo, hope it turns out to be good.

 

[Heisenberg007]

I had little hopes, but it doesn't look bad. Seems like a good 8/10 game.

Though I think it'd have made an excellent 10/10 game if it were on PSVR 2. The gameplay style lends to VR perfectly: different finger positions for different spells and attacks, blocking shields with hand gestures, etc. would have felt real good.

 

[El Pistolero]

Looks a bit too slow; For some reason, I imagined that the action would be more nervous/hectic. Mildly curious still...

 

[Danjin44]

Do you guys want it be fast as something like Doom or Quake? I personally like its current speed I dont want it to be super fast like those games if I'm perfectly honest.

This might be in first person but it doesn't exactly plays like shooter that needs to be fast. Last FPS I enjoyed was original Bioshock and that game wasn't fast either but I think thats what I like about it.

someone must tell you that the correct phrase is "must have" not "must of"...

 

[009EspadaSageJay]

Sony not pushing this game because its JP based and not another third person cinematic adventure tails in the style of a american HBO show besides that the game looks great wish we got more unique and trippy games like this.

 

[Orpheum]

i might even get this day one. looks really cool

 

[Elog]

I had fairly low expectations going in watching the show - very positively surprised. Weird and cool at the same time. Looks suddenly like a likely buy for me. Did not expect that!

 

[BaneIsPain]

March madness. I like it. I hope it will do well on sales.

 

[The_hunter]

This looks really good, the animations!

Saying it under a dedicated SoP and after it was one of the games for the PS5 reveal...

I think I'm smelling a troll....

 

[Hoppa]

The way they were dodging enemy attacks then attacking like a Souls game seems a bit strange in first person.. don't know if this game is for me. I like the hand animations and the abilities seem interesting though

 

[Perfo]

I always ignored this title and I'm glad I didn't do it now. It looks fun, game-y and super polished. Hopefully it delivers!

 

[Perfo]

Perfected it

I love getting unique game like this, sure it's risk and it doesn't have mainstream appeal but god damn makes game industry interesting.

If we only get games thats mainstream and all about selling big numbers then its gonna be as boring as Hollywood becoming Marvel machines.

 

[drotahorror]

Looks really cool! Not a day 1 for me, but definitely somewhere down the road.

People are trippin on the graphics. Awesome spell effects and the part where the environments are changing like an acid trip looked great.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Absolutely love the wire animation and visual style. I hope this turns out great!

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Is that why they made a deal for console exclusivity for this game?

Look, I'm also annoyed with Sony's lack of Japanese games but your take is off the mark

 

[Rickyiez]

This is looking great and fun . Any game that you can parry enemies attack is fun to me . Would be getting this most likely , but just a little disappointed they didn't went all out horror .
