Phantom Blade Zero The Return Of Pang Town Gameplay

In contrary to most games nowadays, I get more excited the more I see of Phantom Blade.
From Softs combat (except for maybe Sekiro) really is starting to show its archaic age when compared to the new Soulslikes and Action RPGs.
Wuchang's level design is up there or even slightly surpassed From Soft.
If Phantom Blade can do level design on the level of Wuchang or better, From Soft has officially been surpassed by a single game on all fronts imo.
This game feels like it's gonna be a bigger hit than Wuchang, Stellar Blade, Khazan, Lies of P and Black Myth Wukong.

I am not sure but all characters including the player character feel feather-light with no weight behind the movement or impact. Still looking forward to some demo etc. to try it out.
 
It looks better than Black Myth on all fronts except for the enemy variety and enemy visual design tbh.
Damn now I wish Game Science, S-Game and Leenzee would do a game together using Game Science's enemy design, S-Game's combat and Leenzee's level design.

Will it be a better game? Maybe. Will it sell 25M+ copies? I seriously doubt it

so sadly Lumen GI, but you can get actually good reflections and shadows.
I guess that's better than nothing.

can you turn Lumen off? Lumen off + RTX reflections/shadows on would be optimal

No RTGI…so it will be Lumen software RT for the lightning.

And what's the fallback for lighting without Lumen? Of course, you can't.
 
Wukong sales are completely unprecedented from a new studio and IP. I think games like Lies of P and Stellar Blade sales would be more realistic for this.
What has happened can happen again, especially because there is even more awareness now and proof that Chinese games can compete amongst the best.
 



I'm pretty meh on these soulslikes, but honestly, I'll make an exception for this one. It looks like it has some spirit.

I have at least one other front BMW is going to be very difficult to beat : storytelling
We don't know much at all about phantom blade story, but it doesn't seem staggeringly original. For all its flaws (mainly you will have a hard time understanding why stuff is happening if you are not familiar with Journey to the West), BMW is a tremendously well told story, in that obscur from software type story telling.

Anyway im sold on this one since the year of the snake and the seven stars boss fight, can't wait for this one to release

Of all the upcoming Soulslike games, this is the one I'm most looking forward to. This and Crimson Desert, though CD is not a Soulslike, it's closer to Dragon's Dogma
