Captured at GDC 2023, here is brand new gameplay of Lies of P, the upcoming action souls-like game that reimagines Pinocchio as a bloody gothic epic. Lies of P is set to release in August 2023 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X and Series S.

 

[Spyxos]

I think the developers have seen Bloodborne once or twice.

 

[Lokaum D+]

its just me or this game feels generic ?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I honestly don't know how I feel about this game. On one hand it looks like Bloodborne and I love Bloodborne.
On the other hand, it just looks like a total rip.

 

[Doom85]

Kind of feel the enemies don’t seem dangerous enough for what I assume is a Soulslike, but still, I remain interested.

Seriously, imagine if these developers did make a hit with this game and got to attend TGA…..and then Miyazaki is seated next to them.

No. It's an uninspired souls-like, it's natural that it feels generic.

 

[Knightime_X]

That first enemy, talk about TANKY!
I've seen opponents take less hits in a fighting game.

 

[digital_ghost]

Should be called lies of pussy. Considering I never get any.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

This copy genre game looks way more legit than all the others so far.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Some people really love this clunky lock-on "based" Ocarina of Time combat. -_-zzz

 

[ChoosableOne]

The combat mechanics convinced me. They didn't make a soulslike game though, they just made a new souls game. If I were Miyazaki, I would be triggered, but as a gamer I'm happy.

 

[The Cockatrice]

"new" same rooftops and same place i've seen already unless its a different area in which case thats bad if they reuse so many assets and locations.

 

[Danjin44]

I’m sorry this too fucking on the nose on where they get their “inspiration“ from, even the font for damage numbers and lock on is straight out of Bloodborne.

 

[kyoji]

Oh shit wrong thread, i came in here expecting to see another ridiculous phil spencer quote being exposed

 

[TonyK]

Would it be released in Gamepass day one as Wo Long?

 

[Thief1987]

Oh shit wrong thread, i came in here expecting to see another ridiculous phil spencer quote being exposed

He will be the final boss of this game.

 

[FoxMcChief]

In for that sweet day 1 game pass goodness.

 

[semiconscious]

there's a thin line between 'loving tribute' & 'blatant ripoff'...

 

[Slothbeing1209]

No backstab?

They could have at least used a different lock on icon, Jesus! Maybe change the attacking hand to the left one, so the healing animation doesn't feel so similar.

 

[Bartski]

 

[Germuso]

Bloodborne for poors.

looking gameplay footage it feels less "inspired" and more straight up copy of Bloodborne which to me makes it look cheap.

similar to stuff like this.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm in.

 

[MMaRsu]

uhh I was excited for this but after watching, not so much

 

[-Zelda-]

Soulslike? I'm out. My brain always fails me in these "git gud" type games.

 

[peronmls]

Where have I seen this? Oh yeah bloodborne...

 

[MastAndo]

Looks like a great value Bloodborne. I'll wait for more streams of P before I decide.

 

[El Muerto]

*Every game journalist when this game releases: "It's basically Bloodborne meets Steelrising".

 

[Games of Today]

It's amazing that we are still getting games in 2023 where the main character doesn't pivot their legs and feet while turning.

Like that was part of the launch tech on PS3 in 2006.

 

[Imtjnotu]

 

[SJRB]

Man they really need to start showing other areas because at this point I feel the entire fucking game takes place on Parisian rooftops and streets. Surely there's other stuff going on at some point?

 

[Markio128]

This looks insipid.

 

[Killer8]

Some of the animations are absolutely shameless in how much they ape Bloodborne.

 

[Salmon]

Meh

 

[M1987]

Would it be released in Gamepass day one as Wo Long?

It is

 

[Boneless]

 

[Bragr]

Where is the Lies of P video? why did you post a Bloodborne video?

 

[Elder Legend]

I think the developers have seen Bloodborne once or twice.

No, more like 7 times

 

[fart town usa]

Game looks fine, everyone knew it was gonna be derivative of Soulsborne. Nothing to get worked up over.

 

[Schmendrick]

11 min Video.
I made it to minute 2 until I got bored.

The world looks a little flat as far as design and atmosphere, but the gameplay looks pretty decent. Not the best thing ever, but decent enough. The idea does seem a little better than it's actual execution though, at the moment.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

needs moar cthulhus

 

[fatmarco]

I literally thought this and Steel Rising were the same game.

 

[ScHlAuChi]

I played the demo at Gamescom last year, it was great!

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Bloodborne, the rip-off.

 

[kicker]

Conflicted because it feels like they're showing too much of this.
it looks good, but I've seen enough of it and actively avoid trailers because I'm already going to get it eventually.

But then I also periodically forget it exists or is supposed to come out soon.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

As a big Bloodborne fan I’ll say this: meh.
