Dark souls has a new contender

>over the shoulder melee

Why is this the choice amongst new adventure games? It looks terrible.

what the fuck is this, you faggot?

>>386545897
in all reality, this game does have an interesting story.
i find it cool to see stuff like dementia and schizophrenia in a time when there was no treatment. It means it'll just get worse and worse overtime, and there's nothing the victim can do about it. It makes for some interesting horror experiences.

>>386545897
This looks more like a bad version of the new God of War's combat then a mastered version of Souls combat.

>>386545983
go back to /tv/

>>386545897
can we move the camera back, just a bit please? Also, what is it with games that look like this having that snappy looking animation? It always looks like it instantly robots to the next pose and it looks like shit. There's these little pauses in between the next action, gross.

Looks really floaty, also why does the other guy just stand still and watch his buddy get slapped around for ten seconds straight

Is this a """cinematic experience""" or am I just missing the health bar (please tell me it's not bloody screen)

Also if there's no stamina bar it's not really souls that's more like DMC or bayonetta

I understand this is bait but I'm curious about this game since I know nothing about it

This looks fucking horrible. The combat seems incredibly floaty. The depth of Souls was that, not only did most enemies die in 2 or 3 hits, so did you.

Sell me.

>>386546232
you have to die multiple times for it to delete your save, which is next to impossible unless you just afk during combat (even then it would take a long time), also all that mechanic will do is make people copy their save files so they dont have to start from scratch. it's an interesting mechanic, hearkening back to the days of saves and continues, but ultimately useless in the current year.

>>386546493

It looks really not fun. Dark Souls is all about fighting game footsies. This game looks like it's about getting close and mashing a single button. And to add to that the terrible camera angle? Nope.

>>386545897
>that flashing bag

>>386546232
Dark souls isn't and has never been about being hard for the sake of being hard. It's not I Wanna Be The Guy, the fact that you have always had unlimited chances, unlimited healing items that refresh at every checkpoint, and permanent character progression through leveling and weapon upgrades should have been proof enough of that.

The difficulty of the souls series has always been about contributing to ATMOSPHERE, which is something that they do very well and which most dumb hard for the sake of being hard games don't.

The oppressive, overwhelming feeling of being trapped in blighttown for the first time as a new player would be totally lost if you could just pause the game to use consumables or warp away at any point to continue your progress later.

Lots of boss fogs are located directly in front of bonfires, people like Lautrec and Hawkwood acknowledge that the player has died and is trying again. The synergy between game play and narrative is what makes the series so immersive. Drinking estus to heal in a boss fight, dying, respawning at a bonfire and trying again doesn't break immersion at all vs pausing to drink health potions and being forced to reload an earlier save upon death.

A game that deletes your saves on death is the antithesis of the souls "no fail state" school of thought.

If people just wanted difficulty there would be more astronauts.

>>386545897

Is Dark Souls going to go down as one of the most innovative games of all time? Before it there were plenty of games that when they came out the industry eventually copied them so much that it essentially changed the entire industry into a new direction.

FPS were even at one point called Doom clones since Doom popularized the FPS that much. Dark Souls is without a doubt now in this same league. Truly the most revolutionary game of our modern times.

>>386547386
nope, probably realised it's pointless since the game is only a few hours long anyway & a lot of "would be pirates" could just watch a 3 hour long lets play & be satisfied

The problem is when we are talking about these neurological disorders it's not just "Oh, I have hallucinations", your thought process itself is completely fucked. Trying to get someone to experience someone else's thought pattern is like trying to explain the way a food tastes. You can say "It taste like chicken" or "It tastes sweet" but that's not explaining taste, that's just comparing to another food's taste. In no way do I comprehend what that means to you.

No you aren't paying attention then. There is way more than that. Plus plenty of games are borrowing some elements from the Souls games even if they don't outright copy it.

There is plenty more besides just even this video.

NT seem decent at making art assets. They need to stay away from story, combat and gameplay mechancis though.

NT don't personally shill. They pay a marketing firm to do it for them and that firm probably either has a social media shilling department or outsources to a social media shilling company who then comes here and spout off the required points on their brief sheet, maybe doing some damage control if there's anything in the brief like "If someone says this then say in reply..." They don't really care if it's effective, it's not like that can be tangibly measured, they just go through the motions and then send the bill.

Not him but how is it not a good thing? Old games literally made you start over from the beginning if you die enough times.See the original mario, castlevania, resident evil, megaman.

How is this game like Dark Souls? I keep seeing this comparison. Because you fight with swords?

>>386548780
Well if it didn't have DMC's name on it, it probably wouldn't have had Capcom personally overseeing the gameplay. Although they apparentally didn't intervene on that dumbass colour-coded stuff.

>>386548898
>Nioh started development before Souls came out
You act like this means they had the complete idea of how the gameplay would look in working form before the game came out. We don't know that for sure. I think it is safe to say Dark Souls did have an influence on this game. Just because it started development before it is irrelevant.
>This was made by the DMC team, DMC came out almost a decade before Demons Souls
Another irrelevant statement here. What does this even mean? Do you even know?
>SOTN clone, do you know what a Metroidvania is?
You just aren't getting it do you?
>It's 2D, but yeah it obviously rips off DaS's UI
Yep you don't get the argument here at all. It isn't about being a complete 1:1 clone of the game in its entirety. It is about what it innovated and what it popularized and how a certain company borrows elements from said game. Plenty of games borrowed recharging health/shield mechanic thanks to Halo popularizing said mechanic. They also popularized two weapons limit. This is why many always mention how when games do this it is thanks to games like Halo. Although so much time now has passed since 2002 or whatever year Halo CE released that I'm sure it is being forgotten now by shits like you how much Halo popularized the FPS genre and even had influence outside of that genre.

That is the end of my reply. You clearly don't get it.

>bad at making good decisions

That's overstating it a little.

Souls games are 90% a test of patience, just stay out of harms way until a window of opportunity presents itself. They aren't exactly grand strategy games or something.

>>386550131
i was referring to the
>and u do like 1/30 on hit
part

the only way you could end up with a weapon that shitty at any point in the game, is if you're really bad at making good decisions

>>386549002

This just goes to show the paradigm shift that happened once video games went mass market.

You used to *beat* games. Games where about mastery. The difficulty was not about making games longer per see, it the was the whole point of the experience. You started again until you got it right, and would always get it right. I can still pick up some old NES game and finish by muscle memory alone.

You *finish* games nowadays. It's not anymore so much about the process as much as the content exhaustion. And if people can't access the content, they complain about lockout. And they only ever need to access it once before never touching it again, because by then it has lost most value.

>>386550035
what
im retarded because I didnt spend hours in souls and reading about items or whatever the fuck you soulsfags do to do 1/20 dmg instead of 1/30 on hit
i didnt enjoy it and found it as you said hard for the sake of being hard so i quit
how does that make me retarded

>>386545897
Oh God it's fucking Ryse all over again

>>386550000
how low have gets gone

>>386549002
That is sort of true. It is also because of technical limitations as well. They kind of had no choice in the matter really. Imagine paying 40 bucks or so for a game only to beat it easily in 30 minutes. You probably may feel ripped off or want to get some money back.

Also times then were different. Difficult games were just seen as normal. Or at least difficult according to 2017 standards which now see games like Crash Bandicoot as these very hard games that are nearly unbeatable. A difficult game back then was as normal as seeing a cutscene in a game is today. A lack of cutscenes would make people turn their heads if they saw a game like that. These days a hard game is what does it since everything is so easy.

>>386547854
How fucking stupid do you have to be to say that Hollow Knight is a dark souls clone? It's a fucking metroidvania, and Dark Souls didn't invent the "go back to where you died to get your stuff back" meme. And Titan Souls is even farther from Dark Souls in every way; it's a Shadow of the Colossus clone, not even close to Dark Souls

>If you die, the game deletes your save. It's even harder than dark souls

Many games are difficult. Difficulty doesn't make something good and unless something is difficult for the right reason it's bad.

Deleting your save is just something edgy without any real positive merit.
It's more along the designer trap of wanting to put "interesting" things in their games over designing games that are enjoyable to play.

>>386549293

The Nioh shilling here was far worse, people were calling it the next Dark Souls nonstop and then it has shit level design and no enemy variety. Most disappointing game of the year.

I'm getting to an age where permadeath is more like a real worry rather than a fun game mechanic so...

>>386550884
Nothing wrong with that. Old games did it

>>386550780
Nioh had great gameplay though and had some pretty good level design. In many ways it's better than Dark Souls, but they're also different games focusing on different things.

>>386550941
Old games are anything but an demonstration of good design.

>>386550941
>Nothing wrong with that. Old games did it

The difference here is that those games were short. Replaying 10 hours is very different from replaying 1 hour.
If youy have permadeath you need to have a good reason for it.

>>386551114
This game is short too. same thing

>>386550713
Im not hating. Im saying its fucking over.
Stop connecting imaginary dots between dark souls and other games that are clearly not it. The amount of stupidity here will drive this board to believe that every bloody game thats using swords and axes is a dark souls rip-off for fucks sake. And the problem in the bigger picture is that developers are affected by these retarded nonsensical opinions and some times think that the souls series is their competitor when in reality they have next to nothing to do with it. Let it die already.

>>386550884
in this game it's sort of justified with the whole corruption mechanic, plus you get multiple "lives." It's not a case of the devs being dicks just to be dicks.

>>386551039
All souls games are full of broken OP shit, they all went through several passes of balance and never hit the sweet spot.

>>386545897
The combat looks janky as fuck and no fun, but I think dark souls is that way, so maybe it has been redefined.

None of this matters though because its Ninja theory one of THE most dogshit developers of our time. All they do is take a popular formula and make it shit.

>>386550713
It isn't hating on Dark Souls to want to fucking move on. Dark Souls 1 is my favorite game of all time, and Bloodborne and Demon's are also up there, but I really, REALLY don't want "soulslikes" to become a meme genre that gets a million yearly shitty releases. I want FROM and other devs to move on and maybe make more stuff that takes ideas from DS, but not keep making clones of it. I don't want every ARPG to become a "soulslike"

Why are you comparing it to a multiplayer game then?

>>386551215
In terms of game design why have permadeath in this game? How does it make it more enjoyable?

Generally increasing the fear of death is to add tension and to make people play more seriously. This is generally only valid if the rest of the game is well designed.
For example if you have a really deep combat system that you need to learn to not die making death more of a bigger deal is fine, but if your combat is shallow and boring adding permadeath is not good design since you're trying to make people pay attention to a shitty combat system.

>>386550884

Nothing to do with age - I'm fucking old by /v standards and love myself a good perma-death game - and nothing wrong with either preferences.

The only real issue is how well is the mechanic is used.
From a design standpoint, I'm pretty much convinced there's no mechanic which, as bad as it may sound in a vacuum, cannot be justified and made to work to great results in the right gestalt.

Trouble here is that at first sight it doesn't look like the game knows why it wants perma-death, nor that the mechanical set up as a whole is made to justify and be enhanced by it. Say if every playthrough was somewhat different because of procedurally generated layers you have to intuit out to reach the reality of the experience hidden by the madness of the character. Your death is not her death. You're dealing with symbolic representations of a real inner conflict meshed with its actual realities.

That could work. But it doesn't look like what we got.

>>386551609

>>386551314
I'm playing it right now and the combat feels so satisfying it's amazing, I haven't felt like this about a game in a long time. It's understandable though, that people here just make up excuses to hate this game, it's nothing new, /v/ is shit taste central. Still, this game is a wasted potential because of the COD tier level design. It's literally just go straight forward and nothing else. All it's missing is a giant objective marker and a minimap. Such a shame.

No NT games has played well, the stories they try to tell has always been edgy and several of their devs (Tameem in particular) are just downright unlikeable.

There are plenty of reasons to be highly sceptical of this game, especially when you start antagonistic threads like this where you claim this game has surpassed Dark Souls (which has a huge fanbase).

Don't shit yourself, Dark Souls places a HEAVY emphasis on aesthetics, atmosphere and storytelling too. It does so in a novel way but it's not the saviour of the good old days where people cared more about gameplay than about any of all that "fluff" that plagues modern day video games to the point where the actual gameplay becomes a side attraction.

But you play jap games, so you are a fag either way

>>386555632
It's a $30 game made by NT, and if you die you have to start from the beginning again.

I'm guessing the game is about 1-2 hours long, not including restarts. It looks like a tech demo. It seems like they spent all their money on graphics and modeling and forgot to make a game.

>>386555512
Enjoy your garbage game NTigger.
At least bother to show something even remotely interesting than some bitch slapping and getting slapped by enemies that are as passive as Devil May Cry 4 enemies.

End this fucking meme. It's already debunked.

Dragon's Dogma is nothing like Dark Souls. The only things they share in common is a third person perspective, dungeons, and being made by Japs.

I like dodge based combat, but this looks pretty ugly (as far as visuals go) and the pacing and animations look absolutely retarded.

>>386545897
looks retarted . two enemies one doesnt gank. takes 50+ hits to kill the wierdos. over telegraphing enemies. overly stylish sword attacks so the casuals autistic adhd brain doesnt get bored.

What is this game? I assumed it was a shitty TPS because it looked like your typical soulless sci-fi trash.

>>386556069
It was supposed to be sci fi dark souls in space. It seems like it turned out to be just shit

>>386556271
No I know it's The Surge. I saw it on Amazon months ago, hence why I thought it was a shitty multiplayer TPS.

Sounds like Risk of Rain + Dark Souls
Neat.

that actually happens lol to everyone saying it doesn't. git poise boys.

>>386547083
I think you made a great point anon and that you explained it well

It actually doesn't, Ninja Theory lied. Again.

So, pixelised indieshit + complete lack of polish or testing? Neat.

So can we at least agree that souls games are just challenging and not the hardest thing ever? I mean if dsp can beat the game I dont see how you could consider it to be hard as the fans want you to believe it.

>>386546512
>make people copy their save files
or set write protection on them.

>>386558193
I can agree that dark souls is a mediocre game that only sells because people think it's le hard.

>>386558124
It's not. The animations don't look like shit, and hitstop is properly implemented.

>>386550274
Interesting point

>>386558193
Namco said it was hardcore, and I'd sooner trust Namco than some random schmuck on the internet like you.

Is this game really only 15gb? What up with that? Just like The Surge is only like 5gb.

Thank you for being the first post to state the name of the game

>>386558620
Games are only 50GB now because of uncompressed textures and audio. Crysis 3 still looks better than most games today and it's only 14GB.
