[NeoIkaruGAF]

Most interesting new game of the show by a mile, and very agreeable character design to say the least.
Doesn’t look like the most original thing, but almost everything else was so meh and hollywoodish that you don’t need the best thing ever to stand out.

 

[Novaex]

It's from a (new) chinese studio. The attractive female mc gave it pretty much away it would be asian devs.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Is it ps5 exclusive?

No, that shit is kinda over.

 

[Pilsner1977]

Keeping on eye on this one for sure, need more!!!

 

[AtomicStarving]

This is crazy. I'm hyped. Game looks like a fucking painting, eldenring-like.

 

[Madflavor]

Best trailer from the show by far. Hope it’s good.

 

[deeptech]

The game is the debut project from Eclipse Glow Games, which employs 100 developers in Chengdu, Sichuan of China. It has recruited employees from the likes of SEGA, Ubisoft, and Gameloft, with past experience including Yakuza, Persona, Assassin's Creed, and Prince of Persia.

From PushSquare article. Now it's clear why purple hair was missing.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Hope it turns out to be a Arthurian Castlevania. The MC design reminds me of Shanoa. Down to color palette. Probably has you acquire Knights of the Round Table to do all the cool stuff. Holy Grail seems like an important plot device.

 

[TheGodfather07]

The visuals on this look insane. I got a feeling its gonna be downgraded by launch though.

5 years ago I would have said this is forever vaporware but the way these Asian devs have been cooking , this looks legit.

 

[GymWolf]

This was fucking incredible.

 

[HYDE]

Nice surprise…will be watching this one.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks great; also the female MC is voiced by Shadow Heart VA.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

nice trailer, cautiously optimistic

 

[Madflavor]

It’s funny how you bring that up. The attractive character models was an instant dead giveaway that this was either China or Korea lol

 

[pqueue]

Like the world/environments, utterly detest the main characters and her movements. too ganky/video-gamey.

 

[Heaven Angel]

Looks spectacular

 

[Valt7786]

This looks great. Shadowhearts VA getting a fair bit of work lately too.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

China saving the day.

Playstation didn't make this. It's 3rd party multiplat

 

[MagiusNecros]

I'm gonna end up just buying games that have "Shadowheart" in it. Already preordered Clair Obscur since I have a great feeling about it and Jennifer English "Shadowheart" voice is instantly recognizable.

 

[Jormatar]

The world is healing.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

China is secretly dominating right now

Deepseek and now all these highly talented studios. Damn

 

[Represent.]

CHINA I LOVE YOU

They are going to make next gen the renaissance of gaming.

 

[Blank Space Invader]

It looks like Lost Soul Aside but with a female lead. Why does everything look the same these days?

 

[Kabelly]

Juggling confirmed. Very interested in the combat. Game does give me Bayo vibes.

 

[Clear]

I see this complaint a lot, but exactly how else is it supposed to look?

Seriously. If you a doing a third-person action game with melee/magic combat with modern graphics tech of course its going to look similar to other games offering the same style of gameplay.
Its always been this way, its why we can recognize Streets of Rage, or Metroidvania style games decades after they were invented.

 

[nikos]

Gameplay looks kind of generic but I wishlisted it anyway.

 

[Kerotan]

Chinese companies starting to make an impact in the AAA console space

 

[Boneless]

Looks good, Im interested.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

This is crazy. I'm hyped. Game looks like a fucking painting, eldenring-like.

Yep I got some strong Elden Ring type vibes

But its insane how next gen this game looks, too. Really good visuals.

 

[Lambogenie]

Interested.

Keep winning China. And Japan.

 

[Lambogenie]

This is how deep it all sank.

I was really surprised I saw this beautiful MC, and then I immediately thought this has to be from Asia. This is just how ugly western game design has become.

100%. Not an ugly person in sight.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Bri'ish Fantasy Soulslike.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Day one. Looks like a modern version of old school God of War.

Also that was a masterclass in female character design in a videogame. Aesthetic as fuck without being over the top.

Western devs should take notes on all of this, but they won't.

Yeah that female lead looks amazing. Blown away to see something like that coming from China. Attractively elegant.

It's not hard, western devs lol

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

One of the only games presented that caught my eye. The only game without even a release year offered.

 

[Kings Field]

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

the only visually interesting game shown. too bad SLoP made a disservice to the game.

It's also a shame that developers/publishers don't make the effort to present their games in a way that is more gravitating and original. Wasted potential-

 

[Elios83]

Looks amazing, can't wait to know more about it. Hopefully it's releasing next year.

 

[Ian Henry]

The designs were cool. It reminds me of old school God Of War gameplay-wise, so that's a plus.


There will be an extended trailer released tomorrow, so hopefully some more good shit will be shown.

 

[Blank Space Invader]

This is crazy. I'm hyped. Game looks like a fucking painting, eldenring-like.

Don't forget that the footage was captured on a PS5 Pro. So PS5 users don't get the full visual experience. Thanks Sony!

My concern is: will it be stamina based? I hate "gameplay reveals/trailers" without the actual HUD.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

It looks fantastic. The art direction is interesting (similar to the french RPG), with the epicness of the old GOW with DMC hack and slash.

 

[Not_A-Cop_Maybe]

im really hoping this is a non-souls game and more of a hack/slasher with platforming elements like castlevania or DMC, but then again the creativity in exploring different genre's in the industry is at an all time low.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Series S!!! Don't fuck this up for us!!

 

[DavidGzz]

The Stellar Blade killer.

If Stellar Blade is Demon's Souls, this is Elden Ring. Looks awesome.

 

[Kazdane]

With this and Stellar Blade coming to PC, I can't complain at all. And Saros also looks interesting enough. They didn't show much but the game looks amazing, hopefully it plays amazing too

 

[Brigandier]

Looks great definitely got my eye on this one.

Wut? Sony aren't developing this and it's not a PlayStation exclusive either... I know you feel personally attacked because a lot of people have changed their opinions and tune regarding your beloved Sony recently but that is a dumb comment.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Hopefully not a Souls like, I’d be interested if it’s a fun God Of War style game and not a bash my head against a wall 500 times game. All these China produced games are looking kinda same-y though, they got any other ideas out there aside from these razzle dazzle particle effects third person action games?
