I have not really been looking forward to this game like the rest of you, but I've been seeing this game pop up every now and then over the years in conferences, so I decided to do some trailer searching to make sure I'm not mistaking this for another game and to make sure I'm seeing things correctly:
This is the first teaser 5 years ago:
This is snippet from 4 years ago:
There is a break of 3ish years before they re-reveal the game to Summer Games Fest 2022.
This is last year at SGF:
This is earlier this year:
...I hate to say it guys, but this gameplay all looks very, very similar since the first teaser 5 years ago and also snippet from 4 years ago. Groups of Melee enemies running directly at you and a few guys shooting crossbows or other objects at you, while the player does quick dodges and circle strafe shots. The only surprises I can see here are the obvious graphical downgrades, the platform it's releasing on, and the fact that they didn't initially reveal it to be a roguelike(They first called it a 'Dark Fantasy Shooter').
Now from witnessing this, are we all sure that there isn't some other game that we're thinking of, me included? Because I also remember seeing a different game with a similar concept in first person.
