Absolver combat and release date

Fuck yeah I just saw the new trailer and came here to post it. I really want this game to be good

I'm confused though. Are you only going to be able to do one combo at any given time? (With a special move thrown in)

Fuck yeah bro! I'm H Y P E D af dude! Devolver Digital FTW! HYYYYYPE

>>376600448
is this another multiplayer trash game?

>>376600448
is this the dark souls of games

Thanks but no thanks.

>>376600448

is this gonna be cross platform with the Nintendo switch or something?

>>376601102
its multiplat
>>376601032
you're making it look like a shill thread, shut the fuck up

>posting ps4 spotlight video
subtle op, still i caught your shit

>still no updated details on steam

It looks fun but I'd like to know how much I gotta spend before I get too invested

>>376600976
Yes, the way it works is you have 4 combos, and you can switch between combos mid-combo

It's a fighting game built for a console controller, pretty pathetic

>>376600976

As I understand it, it's one combo per stance, so four, and the combos can have branching paths and/or flow into diff stances

into the trash it goes.

>>376601065
Looks kind of like a Dark Souls fighting game. Some people who played it at Pax said that it felt like Dark Souls minus the combat

>>376601402
What? You don't like what can be considered the bare minimum of socialization?

>>376601464
name one multiplayer focused game in the past 5 years that isn't complete trash.

>>376601298
Holy shit, people actually choose to play fighting games with kb+m over a controller?
Name one fighting game that's better with a kb+m than a controller

>>376600448
Eh. I'm okay with it but that's it, it's just okay.

2D fighting games are better with a keyboard than with a controller, hands down. Arcade stick > keyboard > controller.

you can't really play characters like Zangief that have full circle motions, but shotos are much better.

>>376601428
people say anything with any sort of melee depth is darksouls. i dont trust. sounds more like JKA if anything

>>376601402
It's a 3d fighter. You can play against AI or other players, 1v1 or 3v3. I don't see your point.

>>376601592
you just proved my point, it's a shitty game without any setting or story. the gameplay looks nice as fuck, but if it's just 1v1/3v3 skirmishes, whats the point? atleast have a campaign.

>>376601636
It most likely has one.

>Combat deck
Why
Up until that point, it looked great

>>376601636
>the gameplay looks nice as fuck
Why the fuck should you care about plot and setting in that case.
Game just from a glance will be yourself inserting as an absolver, give or take erp sessions with sensei.

>>376601636
From the other gameplay video I saw it looks like there are different areas where you fight npc enemies and get loot

>>376600448
Boring

>>376601827
>not wanting to make your own fighting style

I'm glad for this, otherwise the autists who memorize all of the game's combos and practice them in their sleep would have the advantage

I'm not going to defend the retard you're responsing to because his argument is dumb. But what's the flaw in having a combat system that rewards analysis every fight since your opponent handcrafted his attack strings? And it's not like experienced players still won't have an advantage in this

>>376602195
HOW ABOUT A NICE CUP OF LIBER-TEA?

>>376601993
All those autists will still memorize all your combos, just midfight

>>376602494
FREEDOM DELIVERY

>>376601579
From what I can tell this game has more melee depth than dark souls. This doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be better as it could be lacking in other aspects. You can actually feint though, I know a lot of autists like to trash DaS because you have to commit to your attacks

>>376602814
FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS

>>376602904
SAY HELLO TO DEMOCRACY

>>376602874
It takes very little effort to have more depth than dark souls

What's pretty neat is that the feint doesn't cancel your combo but just skips one of your attacks in it, so if you think you're gonna get parried on the second you can punish with your finisher

>>376600448
Looks sort of interesting. The art reminds me of Dishonored. I think Godhand also did the combat moveset building thing
I wonder if weapons are an important part of combat or just something you equip to punch harder
that looks to be the case with the sword

>>376603174
From what I understand weapons just replace all your stance chains with static ones for the weapon, as well as being stronger and leaving you vulnerable to disarming

>>376603174
The weapons have their own movesets and hit harder. You can be disarmed if you fuck up though, so whipping out a sword as soon as the fight begins might not be the best idea.

>>376604123
When is whipping out a weapon a good idea then

Surely at all phases of the fight the risk of losing the weapon is the same

>>376603139
Oh shit that's pretty neat actually. I don't usually like feinting in games because of how silly it looks but that doesn't sound like it would break the flow

You fuckers need to lurk more, if you watch any other trailer you show notice that the games has a singleplayer campaing, has npcs, a shitton of loot (armors, weapons, etc)
You cant draw the weapon anytime you want, theres 2 little crystals in your back, you earn those by hitting your enemy and you can choose to spend one on:
A) draw a weapon of your choice (who has been selected before)
B) use a special skill (heal yourself, better dodge for certain amount of time, etc)
The game looks great for me, it could be the for honor that ubisoft didnt gave us

>>376601508

>>376605132
Also, autist who get triggered by the word Deck, please leave, is just a fucking word, the mechanic is the same

>>376605132

Tfw when you are able to overcome your autism and enjoy good combat even if the particle effects aren't top notch

>>376602353
The problem with these card systems are that they can seriously hinder your card gain, unless you know.. you would pay real money for random packs that can give you better moves.

I'm pretty much always right about which games will be shit and this game looks shit. Sorry you had to learn this way.

>>376607106
So your criticism is that they could monetize elements of a game? You know that's an incredibly sweeping statement that applies to EVERYTHING, right?

>Yo why didnt from soft just charge us for extra level ups?

Just because it says cards doesn't mean you have to immediately connect that to the incredibly pay2win nature of TCGs

>>376607329
I'm not those other guys, I just stated my fear with previous experiences, I didn't say that it would happen, but there is always the fear.

>>376607403
If it helps the developers said there is no plan for microtransactions

Fearing that sort of shit is probably a good view on how shit people think the industry is now. For honor had microtransactions and that shit is full priced and with expansions

Looky pretty interesting. I hope it doesn't end up like For Honor. Its meta fucking sucks.

I'll stay tuned.

>>376601636
You sound like you enjoy movies or anime more. Try out the according boards. Vidya isn't for you.

>>376607927
How?

>>376608237
Parries are too easy and feints are too ineffective to encourage an offensive playstyle

>>376608237
FH's mechanics (accidentally?) disadvantage aggressiveness. Dodgig/Parrying always gives you a possibility to counter which can't be avoided by the initial attacker.

Good players only wait for the other to attack first and high level play is more of a game of patience than skill.

On top of that, defensive maneuvers give you revenge meter so dodging/blocking/parrying is encouraged even further

Yes, there's feints but those don't solve everything. It could be a very decent game and it's still fun if you and your opponent don't abuse the system but they need to fix it.

Absolver is a console game prebaked combo fighter which tries to copy Dark Souls style PvP without understanding anything about it. It won't have even 500 players. I know more than you. Sorry.

>>376609498
Asking to play as a child is not the same as asking for statistical diversity, you mong.

They'd have to fuck up pretty badly for it to be Battleborn tier in community numbers.

>>376609717
>They'd have to fuck up pretty badly for it to be Battleborn tier in community numbers.

This game reminds me so much of 'Gigantic' in the way it's presenting itself and its design, and that game is several times more DOA than Battleborn

>>376609706
God I hope not, trying to mimick the atrocity that is dark souls PvP would be disastrous

>>376609776
>This game reminds me so much of 'Gigantic' in the way it's presenting itself and its design,

So it's going to stay in closed beta for months and months and months until everyone else who might have cared about it already moved on?

This thread just proves that /v/ doesn't know shit about games and just likes to fling shit. There's plenty of info on this game. Kill yourselves.

There will always be a couple people out there talking about how the grass behaves funny. Learn to seperate the garbage from the discussion

>>376610382
If you don't like criticism and would prefer it be automatically censored for you, perhaps Reddit is more your speed? They have a system that ensures your precious echo chamber will never be disrupted, and all you will ever read about Absolver will be good things, right up until the day where it flops miserably for the reasons /v/ was discussing months ago.

>>376609035
Kek, weeb BTFO

God damn you got awfully defensive about me saying not every complaint is worth discussing

Are you sure you aren't in a little echo chamber of your own, buddy?

Just watched all the vids on this game.

Damn I'm hyped now. I'll go full dexfag.

>>376610809
No, an echo chamber reinforces your opinions at every turn. /v/ is all about antagonistic discussion, which is the only interesting sort of discussion, much how like no story is interesting without a conflict.

>>376610987
What if your opinion is that every game is shit due to the pettiest things?

>>376610987

As a big part of martial arts it seems illogical for them to not be included in a game all about them

it's a disrespectful game. i don't like designers like the ones at devolver.

>>376612240
It's confirmed they won't have grapples? I was really hoping for some Judo

>>376612240
Maybe because they're hard to add as interchangeable combo pieces.

Right now now you can shuffle all kinds of attacks around but integrating a grab would work against the intended fluidity.

They could work as specials or finishers though. I really wish there were finishers actually.

>>376613518
I think it was in an hour long faq video

They didn't state a reason, just not planned yet
>>376613667
I dunno I kinda dig having to determine which part of my chain I want to finish opponents with and then watching their ragdoll fly when it lands. Having finishers like in for honor would kinda remove that

Didn't they say there's going to be raid like dungeons in one of the earlier videos?

>>376614989
Not from any video I seen

>>376612240
Grapples require actual hard work, not only animation wise but technically speaking, to prevent clipping. You have to make two independent objects of varying model (since there's customization in this game) animate fluidly with each other.

Absolver is rushed to the rushed power, this game's development started in 2016 according to the Reddit Q&A. There was no time for anything as difficult as grappling.

>>376615748
For a game started in 2016 it looks fuckin great

>>376615930
Because it's UE4 and uses tons of generic UE4 assets

>>376616119
Every company has a fuckton of assets they usually come back to, the development rate is still impressive for a team of 26

>>376600448
The graphics look nice and the customisation seems neat, but I bet the gameplay itself will be mashing square a bunch of times and sometimes triangle.

>>376602121
Combo memorisation isn't the most interesting form of skill though. Super smash bros will mop the floor with normal players, but the normal player is still aware of 90% of the moves the pro player uses.

>>376617027
There's a timing system involved so you don't mash

And it seems all the defensive options require directional awareness so if you press xxxx you will eat shit

>>376617154
This is looking better and better then. Another thing I dislike though is how immobile you looked as soon as you're not attacking. Some dashes, sidesteps and lunges would be nice too see, and maybe even jumps. From the little that was shown in the trailer the player moves a lot in the combos, but outside of the combos it was just ducks and blocks.
