This game was announced before Dark Souls was even a thing

its look more like Onimusha too, if someone said this was Onimusha 4 i'd believe them, it looks amazing

 

[BadWolf]

Onimusha x Ninja Gaiden is what it is.

 

[Elios83]

It looks way more like Onimusha mixed with Ninja Gaiden than Souls to me.
Really looking forward to it, lots of potential, Team Ninja don't fuck it up.

Geralt only has that type of ponytail in the Witcher 3. The similarities to Geralt are more than just the ponytail. It's more of the white hair with young features (instead of a white-haired old dude) and even his face kinda looks it from certain angles.

You seriously can't look at these screenshots and see "Japanese Geralt that's also a samurai"? I instantly see that even though I know better. I can't help it.

Not only that but this guy fights monsters too! Except instead of monsters from European and Slavic mythology it's Japanese folklore.

The comparison would be almost perfect if he had cat-like/demon eyes.


...


Anyways... this game looks pretty cool.

 

[MaschinenZimmer]

Damn, this looks awesome so far!

 

[Papacheeks]

Was there mention if I missed it, of the game being multi-region released?

or at least having a US/EU release coinciding with Japanese release?

Or is it strictly Japan right now?

you mean Onimusha 5?

 

[ShogunDarius]

you mean Onimusha 5?

well DOD was never given a number

Yeh it looks like a great game.

I can't wait to hear and see more about it!

Just don't fuck up Koei!

Have you never played Onimusha?

Yes I did, but please tell me about how Onimusha has a semi-online component with bloodstain mechanics showing me where other players died or how you were only able to change equipment and heal in real-time.

I can see the similarities with Onimusha in setting, but the many mechanics and the gritty art style from the trailer is straight out of a souls game. The combat also looks pretty "heavy" and based around using well-timed counters and dodges to find openings, which again is much more Souls like to me than anything in Onimusha. I'll admit that it's hard to say anything for certain about the combat though, since we have only seen like 30 seconds of actual gameplay.

Looks similar to DMC, will keep a lookout on this

I'm actually a little surprise at the lack of comparisons with DMC4, considering the 4 stances at the bottom that can be changed in real time.

I wonder if we can change them mid-combo too.

Thanks, didn't know there were more footage out. The combat looks a lot faster here than I thought it would be.. I like it though!

 

[Loudninja]

This is the surprise of TGS for me.

Because of the slower and more deliberate pace probably, not to mention that stamina bar.

 

[convo]

Remember when Ninja Gaiden 3 was somehow influenced and inspired by Call of Duty?
Fuck that shit into oblivion Team Ninja, at least we can replace that shit with Souls now.

 

[le.phat]

Ambitious Japanese new IP that harkens back to the ps2 days, i'm waking up any minute now.

Yep, really pumped for this. It's looking rally interesting.

 

[Endo Punk]

Keeping my eyes on this one. Dont let me down TN.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Looks like Knack mixed with a little Grand Theft Auto. Detecting notes of Mass Effect as well.

 

[Shogun1337]

The Onimusha we've always been asking for (because Capcom is too stupid to deliver).

 

[u_neek]

[Loudninja]

Looks like Killswitch mix with Killzone.

Ya know?

 

[Data West]

Neogaf- Dark Souls invented dark settings and difficulty.


Game looks good.

 

[Kamina777]

I'm going to remember when everyone was hyping this, it'll have more in common with that xbox360 exclusive ninja gaiden rip off than souls, at best it's going to scratch am onimusha itch but not totally fill the void.

 

[MavFan619]

This is the surprise of TGS for me.

Same when they revealed it I was immediately thinking I want this in my life.

 

[John Kowalski]

Is the dude really called William?

 

[MickeyKnox]

I'm way into this.

 

[sublimit]

Holy fuck game looks awesome!New info is very interesting as well.

Could this game be the Demon's Souls of this gen (in terms of surprise hit)? Really hope TN get it right.

And let Capcom continue making shitty online shooters while they keep ignoring Onimusha.

 

[BadWolf]

Based on William Adams apparently:

[Zyrox]

Looks really cool so far. Here's hoping it plays well. Though I can't help but see Geralt every time I see the main character lol

 

[HORRORSHØW]

oh wow. this is really interesting.

Amusing fact, I live in Gillingham and we celebrated him last weekend at the regular fair we do every year!

 

[Neff]

Sounds way more Souls than Onimusha. Doesn't sound very Onimusha at all, actually.

I'm sure it'll be good though.

 

[ZoddGutts]

60fps? Nice, but at this point I'll wait until it's actually released to rejoice. Too many "targeting 60fps" games end up with an unlocked framerate that's no where near a stable 60fps or is locked to 30fps before release..

I think they can make it happen, their only working on the ps4. So they'll be able to push things forward much easier since their not working on it multi-platform wise.

Edit: From the gameplay it has orb absorption similar to Onimusha series. Game takes cues from several games.

 

[HardRojo]

I'll definitely be on the lookout for this title now. I didn't even know I wanted it until it was revealed (re-revealed?) at Sony's conference.
