DARKSIDERS 3 GAMEPLAY AND IT LOOKS SHIT

I thought the graphics were surprisingly okay. dodge looks awfully slow as does the whole combat really. big step back from ds2 which had a nice combat system

>>376034145
Everything looks fine except for the weapon

It looks and sounds so weak
Compare to Kratos' chains.
Those had weight and feel despite being whips that disappear after use

>>376034942
What's this?

Looks a little stiff, grafix are alright, moveset is pretty limited, but there will obviously be some upgrades.

Overall it look ok, it also worth noting that it's pre alpha.

Looks completely like Darksiders always does. Literally complaining about nothing.

it looked okay. the reviewer only being able to use basic whip combo got really old.

>>376034145
Extremely obviously very early stages and unfinished.

They made a mistake releasing this footage because of shitposters like OP.

>>376034145
Everything looks fine for Darksiders but the weapon SOUNDS like shit. If you're going to have the same sound effects for every attack, you gotta make sure it sounds good

>>376034145
It's looking really good for an alpha footage. They only have to make the dodge more quick and add a little more weight in the blows. Besides these two things, is a matter of weapon, enemy and combo variety for the combat become great.

You really like getting the (You), right OP?

>pre-alpha
Alphas are barely playable. Pre-Alpha doesn't mean anything.
First the beta became demo, then the alpha became preview.
It's like they know the audience is so stupid and desperate to sound like they have any authority so they hand them these buzzwords so that they can feel smart while also regurgitating whatever you want them to.

>the actual game
I have no idea because game journalists are terrible at everything. They should stop letting retards show their shit off and just do it themselves.

>>376035947
How do these people even get jobs?

It's like a food critic not knowing how to use a fork or knife and just uses their hands to cram food into their faces

>>376036443
>Alphas are barely playable. Pre-Alpha doesn't mean anything.

You're a fucking moron.

Alpha is the literal first build of a finished game, but everything is still unpolished. Beta is a nearly finished version of the game that is almost ready to ship, but still needs extra polish before release.

Pre-Alpha means the game is literally unfinished.

I fucking hate this board.

>>376034145
OP, if the game was closer to release I would agree with you. But they said already that the game will release in late 2018, relax a little.
I'm the only one who likes the dodge animation, by the way?

>>376034145
I don't see anything wrong. The combat looked dull but I assume it's the starting area.

>>376034145
>They would have fixed this shit before releasing footage.

Sort of how Bioshock Infinite's pre-release footage was identical to the released version.

Posted this in the other thread
That leaked has ruined their entire marketing plan.

This shit is clearly far from being finished and now they are showing a barebones product way too early.

Whoever is responsible for the marketing needs to fucking calm down. Its not like a full trailer was leaked just a few images

>>376034145
Graphics look good but gameplay seems mind-numbingly boring.

>>376034942
It looks like he is randomly swinging at nothing and then they added the enemies afterwards.

>>376036610
No, you aren't the only one, they really nailed that part.

>>376036780
This, huge mistake.

Now they're going to get endless shitposters like OP for over a year.

>>376036604
Beta is ready for limited public consumption.
Alpha is, there is a game here but not ready.
Pre-alpha means this build isn't done and fit for playing.
This is a vertical slice created for previewing. It's none of those things.

>>376036780
Maybe they want some tips on the product?

Bear in mind that Nioh was pushed back multiple times and was changed significantly during the two betas.

>>376036928
>Pre-alpha means this build isn't done and fit for playing.

Nah, it's this.

Game is obviously unfinished as shit.

I'm going to keep bringing this shit up until people realize it.

People complained so god damn much about Darksiders 2 gameplay when it came out and wanted it to be more in line with the first game.
Gameplay for the third Darksiders comes out and it seems more in line with the first game, and people STILL bitch.

God I fucking hate "gaymerz"

I think you're overstating the complexity of darksiders in the first place

its always been cuhrayzee lite

the real problem here is the dinky little female hero using a whip, it's like a joke compared to War using a scythe that's larger than a car: the whip needs to be unlockable, and she needs a real, meaty, darksiders weapon by default, like a big fucking ball and chain

>>376036443
>>376036604
>>376036928
the actual reality is that this shit varies widely from developer to developer and you faggots have no way of knowing what you're talking about without the devs telling you, that being said they chose to show this gameplay so clearly they think it's worthy of something even if it isn't.

>>376037280
Who knows what kind of shit will actually be unlockable in the full game, that was part of the fun of the original games.

>>376037280
The whip is fine so long as they beef it up and make it seem like it's something tangible instead of a gymnast's dance ribbon

>>376037280
Not really.

They need a grapple, a charge attack to launch enemies in the air and a more fluid moveset with better particle effects and more punch behind each strike. Maybe counterattack to showcase something similar to the trailer, enemy attacks you and you kill him.

Everything looks great except her weapon. They should copy kratos' chains rather than this shit

>>376034145
>AI doesn't seem that stupid. At least they seem to work together to a certain extent.
>Isn't the combat supposed to be monotonous? that's the point of beat em ups. You keep beating them up

not sure why they designed her like that though. just bad character design

Fury always had a whip.
The only thing she needs is more combos, abilities, and more weapons like what War did in DS1.

Then you'd make a thread calling it bullshots.

This is the most retarded fucking thing I have ever read. It is like saying the guns in a FPS should feel like shit since you're always shooting

well then you clearly don't play many beat em ups. they usually revolve around a very simple gameplay loop

I would have preferred Famine, honestly

Most people dont know that Pestilence isn't a real horseman in the Bible, that's made up or some shit

the fourth horseman is unnamed, I think its satan himself

I agree somewhat but why even show it in that case?

Dropped.
New God of War looks more exciting, and Kratos is old and slow in that game.

Why does the camera zoom in so close to her back in combat?

I really don't understand what people like about the first two games.

>>376034145
I hope you get banned. Notice it says "PRE-ALPHA" gameplay? This shit isn't go out till 2019. Calm the fuck down you faggot.

looks like the first one = good.

>>376038079
That because your first game was Halo 3.

>>376036816
The dodge looks nice but the whip looks so weak and lame. Combat plain doesn't look like it holds a candle to Ninja Gaiden, DMC, Ni-oh, or even to games like BB/DS3/BotW. My guess is Darksiders 3 will go straight into the "comfy but unremarkable"-bag together with its predecessors.

I don't like the whip

>>376038230

Nah, my first game was Another World.

>>376038079
I used to despise this type of thing, its zelda lite but with too many attacks and not enough enemy challenge, just mindless spammy trash

but then I realized I wasn't supposed to take it seriously or get better at it, it's just a little story that you spaz your way through

its always been kind of unsettling to me that thousands of man hours are spent creating these beautiful environments and animations, and the game itself could be played expertly by a lobotomy patient

>>376036720
But the pre release footage for BS:I was actually much better than the game we got.

Well pre-release Bioshock Infinite was basically a different game. They made like 2.5 games when when they made Infinite which is why is wasn't considered a financial hit despite great sales and reviews.

>>376038274
Whip needs to have weight and drag on the ground a bit. Looks like she is killing them with dental floss

It looks totally different from the last games.

I feel like I saw almost all of these arguments when Metal Gear Rising's gameplay was first revealed.

How many years does this insult have left? I'm a normal guy. And even if it's not going to be released for a few years the earlier games in combination with this new footage gives a strong hint that it'l share the same problems.

Whips should be a weapon specifically for grappling at close range and bleed at long. If it's not doing either, it's a waste of animation.

>Normal guy
Don't forget to take those pills.

>>376038497
Whip needs more weight, the camera needs to be zoomed out a bit and her movement needs more snap to it.

her running animation could probably stand to look a bit faster and the dodge needs to look less floaty.

>>376038334
Because people will just complain if theres no gameplay footage but having a tech demo

>>376034145
>female character

How much of this game is going to be cliches? Also they need to get someone to show them how to make a whip look like it makes an impact, right now she's just tickling the enemies.

>>376036443
Except this is made on a commercial engine.

Of course there is little to fill in when most of the work was done by Epic for them and they're simply using working UE4.

Kill yourself, you little, edgy contrarian son of a single mother whore.
The game looks fine. They do need to polish it, make the combat mechanics and her movement less clunky, but other than that it's fine. They still have almost a year to go before release.
Also this is most likely just the beginning of the game with her barebone movesets and no weapons upgrades whatsoever. It's like starting with your standard pistol in a fps.

a real simple fix would be to make the whip kind of on fire (which it has been shown to be) and have a burst of fire on impact.

a heavier sound effect than the typical whiplash would help too.

Your post is spot on why I don't enjoy coming to this board as much as I did in the past.

Biggest complaint would be the HUD, it's too clean and minimalistic. Doesn't have the gritty flair from the first two games

>>376038583
Why would you compare it to DarkSouls?
Kratos used chains and blades, a whip is lighter and should have a faster movement.
It does look exactly like the last games:
-Repetitive gameplay
-enemy variety
-bosses
-exploration

Did you played any of them?

>>376040136
>They way Death controlled was fine and it's honestly better if each Horseman has a different feel.
This.
Make her move uniquely. Her name is Fury FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Think of something that makes her move and use weapons differently from the rest of the horsemen. It's not that fucking hard.
They actually used to apply that philosophy with Darksiders 1 and 2. I remember them talking in interviews about it how Death was that bulky, kind of slow but brutish guy while Death was agile and fast. Each horseman needs his/her own theme.

>>376039068
its simply shit underwhelming and disappointing. its a fault of the devs

>>376040474

>>376040474
Yeah, a character with a whip should zip around the battlefield, pulling itself or enemies, something real smooth and stylish.

>>376040403

The game was dead the moment the words "open world" were thrown out.

It's literally the only horseman that IS named. Death (Thanatos in the Greek).

I think Darksiders is the only game series where the sequel is better than the first, but with that being said this game just tosses out everything I liked about the second one for realistic graphics and uninspired presentation/ locations. The movement looks awful with the animations constantly resetting and the characters hair physics wiggin out because of uneven surfaces. Not to mention, the game was obviously done by a bunch of dudes who didn't want to offend anyone because not only is she unnattractive (which is okay, imo) but she lacks absolutely any personality in just about everything I've seen. Not sexism or anything like that, but Woman are the only reason woman were underrepresented in gaming because a majority had no interest until recently and dudes have no idea how to write a good female character

I think it looks decent, though I'd like combat to have more weight to it, which is what I liked about the previous titles. Since this seems to be pre-alpha, there's still hope.

They can show progress by releasing screenshots or whatever the fuck else that could highlight the strong points of the game ready in the current state of the development. The fact that they released this footage means they are confident in the quality of what they have released. Otherwise they wouldn't have done that. I don't give a single fuck that it's pre alpha or whatever else, that tag is only there so they can say b-b-b-b-but it's pre alpha! to any criticism.

This is exactly why most companies never show pre-alpha gameplay to the public, it will look like shit because the game isn't polished or even close to done yet and the public is too retarded to realize that this isn't how the final product will look like.

This is what a video game looks like when it's still being made instead of pre-rendered and cherrypicked garbage that doesn't show shit about how the game is in it's current state.

I think that the only reason they changed them was to equip them with better weapons. Everyone knows Famine carries scales and that doesn't make much sense to an Action/Adventure game

So they're either not implemented yet or IGN are too stupid to do combos.

>>376034145

the whip sounds fine. its a fucking whip, what sound do you want?

>IGN are too stupid to do combos
most likely this

>>376052905
I want it to sound like the fucking laser swords in Mortal Kombat

>>376052905
It sounds like a stick covered in duct tape being slapped against a sheet of rubber.
And Darksiders 2's tutorial area wasn't that shitty and slow mechanically.
Your dodges were about twice as fast as that. None of the enemies excluding boss took nearly as many hits as that big red dude in the first combat segment.
While they can improve it, the fact they're showing this off now is indicative of bad things.

>>376052905

since it's such a small and weightless weapon compared to the other Horsemen I think it would be cooler if instead of just slashing with it she used it more like a lasso to throw enemies around and maybe even have a move to grab one enemy and swing him around like a heavy flail.

>>376050708
> Everyone knows Famine carries scales and that doesn't make much sense to an Action/Adventure game

Scales could be a great weapon to be honest. It could have been Sanjiegun like and the scales could have had spikes on them or some shit. It could split in two and be duel wielded flail like weapons.

Fuck you could even enchant both ends to do different types of damage.

>>376053179
I'm sure they still have time to fix things up.
maybe they're releasing such early footage for feedback? wouldn't surprise me, since some of the levels look like they haven't even got their full textures implemented yet.

tho it is a smaller studio so who knows until release.

Devs call it pre-alpha to then say "do not bash it and pre-order, it's nowhere near done imagine how it's gonna be on release day! 100 times better woah! this is day one dev amazing!"
Vertical slices are 85% finished within the slice, because they are used to sell the preorders.

An actual pre-alpha going by terminology has boxes and wireframes instead of anything. There is only the basic engine, unoptimized physics, no aminations, nothing. Much less sounds. You are more retarded than the average retard in this board if you think this is a legit prealpha just because the meme devs called it so.

Vertical slices are essentially finished micro games and game development suffers immensely in the long run because of this inefficient fragmentation. You would know this if you had anything at all to do with the game industry, or knew any programmer in AAA.

So much for attempting to be above anyone.

Darksiders always wanted the God of War audience.

>have no idea how to write a good female character
This statement is totally meaningless.

No, no it does not.

That gameplay is much closer to a Souls-like than to an action game. There's clearly been a shift in direction, and you're blind to not see it. For fuck's sake, there isn't even a hit counter.

Remember how Neokikeshitendo all baited us with a beautiful prerendered cgi movie of how Breath of the Wild was going to look like and people believed this was all in-game because MUH NINTENDO DOESN'T DO BULLSHOTS?
Yeah...people would have pissed and shat on it if they actually showed how utterly PS2 levels of shit the actual game would end up looking from the very beginning.

you don'tk now what you are babbling about buzzwords toddler.

>Even God of War moved on from God of War phase
Wow, yeah. And Dad of War looks like such a fun game.

Delete yourself.

>For fuck's sake, there isn't even a hit counter.

Because there's no fucking UI you dunce.

> It’s still a post-apocalyptic, hack’n’slash, action-adventure, too, with a combat speed somewhere in between the first and second game

From the devs themselves

Dropped.

I'm not gonna say anything beyond "wow you don't remember PS2 if you can say that."

>>376057918
>Because there's no fucking UI you dunce.
Yes, there is. There's a health bar, a lock-on marker and a boss title card. Getting a hit counter in there takes like 10 minutes' worth of coding. Its not there for a reason.

>combat speed somewhere in between the first and second game
Its slower than the first game, nigger. Look at this pre-release footage of Darksiders 1

They're clearly shifting direction with this game. Don't believe their lies.

Blood sound is horrible
enemies wait for you to attack
ugly character

at least it's not another space LGBT simulator

whip so thin and weak is a bad idea
THQ confirmed for not knowing anything about what people like about hack n' slash games.

>>376034145
Looks about right for a pre-alpha. You obviously like cocks more than Darksiders, so I won't even bother asking whether you've played the first two games or not

>>376045212
>20 hours of that horrible and loud whip sound when it hit enemies
It's a similar sound when I fap underwater.

>it's a pckiddies defending GoW clone because they'll never get to play the newest GoW episode
Don't be a nigger and defend shit games just because they're on your platform.

>>376034145
Oh, wow. That really does look terrible.

Why would they release gameplay footage of that?

I mean if your base attack looks and feels that shit, then maybe you should think about waiting a couple of months.

>Looks soooooooooooo much better
>wow the day 1 patch will even increase the native resolution
>Not buying the digital deluxe version are you poor or something?

>>376058849
>Looks about right for a pre-alpha.

I can't even tell anymore if these are ironic.

>>376058508

>Its not there for a reason.
It's not there because there's no fucking reason to have a hit counter for testing as opposed to a life bar and a lock on.

>Its slower than the first game, nigger. Look at this pre-release footage of Darksiders 1.
>pre-release
I don't even have to comment on this one.

I'm sick of that Tortanic mentality. This board is a fucking cesspool.

it looks better than the last two. i'll get it when its on sale

>>376053947

i actually like the whips in all the 2d castlevanias. Though I think its easier to give hit feedback in 2d games.

>>376034145
SHE'S SO UGLY

Looks like the type of game you pick up for cheap a year after launch.

tortanic really permanently fucked this boards shit up, just a bunch of band wagoners waiting for the next bomb, zero discussion can be had

Fury is indeed a female since the very start, even before Darksiders 1 they did a comic with all 4 of them showing how War lost his hand and how he was a perfect culprit for the seals shit in Darksiders since he already went rogue before.
