Hope there are real builds for replays.

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

Looks great visually but Jesus Christ does the combat look lacking. It seems to try and do a lot of things with none being done extremely well. Disappointing so far.

 

[nikolino840]

How the hell is this on a PS4? Sucker Punch are wizrads.

I cannot imagine what Sony 1st party will do with PS5

Seems a bit empty world,like hellblade

 

[DeepEnigma]

Now I see that it's the Moon glowing bright

No light pollution of modern cities. RDR2 is like this as well.

 

[2ndKrueger]

Did anyone notice that weird thing right before the gameplay started? maybe a ps5 teaser inc. in the end of this gameplay?

 

[Sub_Level]

S-sugoi.

I thought the combat looked great but the stealth was on the basic side.

 

[Skyr]

combat looks a little on the easy side.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

So you choose either Samurai or Ghost playstyle, or both co-exist?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Seems a bit empty world,like hellblade

Hellblade wasn't open world, and this still looks better than Hellblade.

 

[mortal]

Seems a bit empty world,like hellblade

Odd comparison tbh

 

[JLMC469]

Looks great. Amazing art direction. The combat looks very dated IMO. Very easy and lacking any sort of skill.

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

I thought the combat looked great but the stealth was on the basic side.

I thought the combat looked good in animation but everything was counters and one button presses. Is there a blocking system, what are the combat mechanics. It just seemed entirely timing-based. Almost like Ass Creed with Batman mix.

 

[Entroyp]

This looks like it was made for me... a more casual Sekiro without all the weeb bullshit of DmC.... I'm in!!

 

[GHG]

WTF...

Have you even played Hellblade?

 

[Sub_Level]

Nani desu

You can deflect arrows with your sword.

That's good enough for me. I'm a simple man with certain mechanics and that one got me.

Also samurais don't block, they deflect. Did Sekiro teach you nothing?

 

[Nankatsu]

Those arrow kills look really weird thought.

 

[joe_zazen]

kurasawa mode! Lol

 

[mortal]

WE KUROSAWA NOW

 

[Mr Hyde]

Black and white mode is just too cool. Kurosawa ftw.

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

So you choose either Samurai or Ghost playstyle, or both co-exist?

Think it's entirely up to you but night time probably allows you to utilize stealth easier.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Looks like the Assassins Creed we never got. Visually beautiful too, the use of wind brings Kurosawa to mind.

 

[Azurro]

So yeah, this is Assassin's Creed: Samurai. Looks awesome, but it does seem to wear it's influences on its sleeve.

Am I a bastard if I say I wish they could have gotten a better looking actor for the main role? Someone like the actors in Onimusha.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Oh fuck yeah! That B&W film grain!

 

[MCplayer]

as a videographer, samurai cinema seems great

 

[Skyr]

Now that vintage movie aesthetic is awesome.

 

[Captain Hero]

Good Job SP what a beautiful game just take my money

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

B&W mode is def pretty cool

 

[J3nga]

Looks like another bland open world with checkboxes, strange combat, nothing really excites me about it.

 

[nikolino840]

Odd comparison tbh

Is the First that comes in my mind,a one character in a landscape
Maybe the hardware Is less stressed for example like in witcher 3 seems less empty

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Arun1910]

I love how they're changing up open worlds and getting rid of question marks. Natural exploration seems awesome.

The fighting stances, slow methodical combat... it is very refreshing.

Stealth looks just as fun as combat. Nice to know there are options.

Customisation options look cool.

World looks beautiful.

This just became one of my most anticipated games this year after not paying attention to this at all.

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

That's good enough for me. I'm a simple man with certain mechanics and that one got me.

Also samurais don't block, they deflect. Did Sekiro teach you nothing?

I mean, did he deflect them through timing or just hold the block button.

 

[Nankatsu]

B&W filter looks amazing.

 

[Entroyp]

Hell yes I'm sold on this game..

 

[GHG]

That's fucking gameplay.

Ubisoft, repeat after me, game play.

 

[joe_zazen]

very happy i didn't sell my pro.

 

[nani17]

Amazing looking

 

[Compsiox]

That was great. That was amazing. I'm almost tempted to buy it at launch. They captured the culture so well with the shrines, charms, and other things. My only complaint is the lighting looks a little funky.

 

[Oddspeak]

Looks fucking awesome. I can't believe they added a black and white mode. They didn't have to, but they did. They knew it'd be sick.

 

[Red Rackham's Revenge]

Samurai Cinema is fucking cool.

 

[INC]

Please be more tenchu and less AC

combat like bushindo blade

Well I got my wish it seems, and Japanese voice acting, BnW mode.

I hope they patch in an option to have the blood red still, but in BnW mode.

Combat looks elegant. Day 1 confirmed

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Someone post if they upload a raw, uncompressed video file, my stream was a little wonky

Think it's entirely up to you but night time probably allows you to utilize stealth easier.

So I could just a full playthrough as Samurai and then a full playthrough as Ghost?

 

[Bryank75]

Looks so amazing, I'm soooo hyped... GOTY.

 

[decisions]

Game looked great, definitely excited for it, though I think there should have been a story segment to this presentation.

 

[Nankatsu]

Easy buy for me.

 

[GHG]

I mean, did he deflect them through timing or just hold the block button.

If you want to be negative, assume hold.

If you want to be positive, assume timed presses.

Choose your path warrior.

 

[joe_zazen]

Looks like another bland open world with checkboxes, strange combat, nothing really excites me about it.

can you point me to the other kurosawa games?

 

[Moogle11]

That still left me very undecided. I'll just have to wait for reviews. Open world stuff is a harder and harder sell for me (especially exploration), the Samurai setting is neither an attraction nor offputting for me, and I can't tell enough about the combat to know if I'd enjoy it or not yet (or how much stealth is required as I don't enjoy stealth games much).

My inkling is I'll end up making Paper Mario my July game unless is both getting crazy high reviews and reading and watching more convinces me I'd love it.
