YO! We finally see what we earned from the demo!

 

[raven777]

Those who cleared the alpha demo will get this helmet

 

[cheesekao]

Those who cleared the alpha demo will get this helmet

That looks beast.

 

[raven777]

For those who cleared the beta demo will get this

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Yo that Beta reward!

EDIT:

They're talking about the blacksmith so I'm guessing you CAN upgrade all the armors.

 

[GasProblem]

I should've cleared the demo...I was so bad at it though

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

That's a nice helmet. I missed the frog boss but I'm glad. I rather not get spoiled too much.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Hell yeah, those helmets look amazing. Glad I completed both.

 

[raven777]

How they look in the game

 

[LAM09]

Nice helmets. Will probably use the alpha one.

 

[ps3ud0]

Man that Alpha reward is so boss - shame about the Beta one

ps3ud0 8)

 

[raven777]

There is Vanity/Glamour System in the game so you can use cool looking weapon/armor until the end.

 

[lucebuce12]

Actually kinda glad that I played the Alpha and not the Beta lol.

There is Vanity/Glamour System in the game so you can use cool looking weapon/armor until the end.

Need some translations. PS4 and PS4 Pro have both 1080p 60fps, and the signs are the same.

Edit: If I have a 1080p TV, I am locked to 1080p then ? I can't play the game at 4k @30fps ?

I might be wrong here but the 1080p/30 option might have downsampling in addition to increased graphical effects. If not, I'm sure you can use the 4k/30 option but output a 1080p signal, getting downsampling in the process.

But tbh, this is one of those games where 60 fps is imperative IMO.

So confirm, we can use all the DLC and pre-order gear all the way??

Actually kinda glad that I played the Alpha and not the Beta lol.

You can get both.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I'm glad I cleared both! I'll stick with that alpha helm though. It looks badass

 

[Deku Tree]

You unlocked two DLC rewards when playing the beta depending on how far you got.... so do beta only players get both rewards for doing the whole thing? Or is there a third reward?

 

[raven777]

So confirm, we can use all the DLC and pre-order gear all the way??

yea if you like the design, you can just cover that design up on better spec gears.

 

[False Witness]

I hope I get that Onryoki Helmet. For some reason, I'm only seeing Mark of the Strong in my purchase history.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

You get the reward from killing the bosses in the demo, obviously you'll only get the helm from Hino Emma if you clear the Beta.

yea if you like the design, you can just cover that design up on better spec gears.

Ah so it's transmog... Does it keep the name?

 

[lucebuce12]

You can get both.

I know, but I just didn't carve out the time to do the Beta when it was available. Was kinda sad that I wouldn't get the item at the end but now I feel a little better about it lol.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

You unlocked two DLC rewards when playing the beta depending on how far you got.... so do beta only players get both rewards for doing the whole thing? Or is there a third reward?

Yeah, the first reward in the beta was the same as the reward in the alpha.

 

[raven777]

Ah so it's transmog... Does it keep the name?

not sure about the name.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Next live stream: 20 Dec

MEGATON!

I like the horned helmet but the bat wing one is lame.

 

[Tyaren]

That graphic is just about the PS4 Pro and how the game will work/look on a full HD TV and a 4k TV.

HD TV:
You'll get 4k downsampled to 1080p with 30fps or 1080p and 60fps.

4k TV:
You'll get native(?) 4k resolution with 30fps or 1080 and 60fps.

 

[BigEmil]

Oh my I need this game in my hands right now!

 

[Menthuss]

You'll get 4k downsampled to 1080p with 30fps or 1080p and 60fps.

4k TV:
You'll get native(?) 4k resolution with 30fps or 1080 and 60fps.

That can't possibly be right.

 

[lucebuce12]

That can't possibly be right.

It might not be native 4k but heck, even 1440p downsampled would be a massive improvement.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

So what did we learn?

1. New area, Ninja Castle with hidden rotating walls
2. New ninja enemy with kusarigama weapon
3. New boss, giant ninja toad
4. Range weapon controls returned back to FPS controls, face buttons now switch ammo type
5. Alpha and Beta demo dlc rewards revealed: Unique helms base off the bosses
6. A Transmog system in place allowing you to bring your dlc/pre-order gears all the way
7. Next livestream is on 20th Dec

Did I missed out anything?

 

[Menthuss]

I'm no expert on Japanese but that screenshot posted earlier detailing the different versions and modes make no mention of downsampling. For the OG PS4 running Cinematic mode, it only mentions a resolution of 1920*1080 running at 30fps along with anti-aliasing.

 

[Deku Tree]

We already knew about the transmog system

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

We already knew about the transmog system

You mean the soul/spirit fusion thing from the Beta right? I thought that was different?

 

[Deku Tree]

Oh IDK because I don't understand Japanese.

 

[False Witness]

So, does anyone actually have the Mark of the Conqueror in their Purchase History?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

So, does anyone actually have the Mark of the Conqueror in their Purchase History?

Yes, they're both there.

 

[Vex_]

Amy time I see any news about this game I just get so disappointed. Disappointed that I cannot play it yet.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Does this game have much story driven cut scenes with dialogue? Love everything I'm seeing except for main character.

 

[jett]

Need some translations. PS4 and PS4 Pro have both 1080p 60fps, and the signs are the same.

Edit: If I have a 1080p TV, I am locked to 1080p then ? I can't play the game at 4k @30fps ?

Those are all PS4 Pro modes.

On an HDTV I figure you can choose between a downsampled image at 1080p@30fps or native 1080p@60fps.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Does this game have much story driven cut scenes with dialogue? Love everything I'm seeing except for main character.

Definitely a more traditional story telling than Dark Souls.

Is there PvP in Nioh?

No. Not from the demos.

 

[AllGamer]

Is there PvP in Nioh?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Is there PvP in Nioh?

This is all hey've said about that (this was back at E3)

FL: Will there be any PvP? If yes, how would it work?

Yasuda: For the time being, our main focus will be on the singleplayer campaign and co-op. Although in the future we may want to incorporate some PvP on a smaller scale, like duels in a small arena or something of that nature. We will announce more on that as we have the details in the future.

[Radical Edward]

I dont. I cleared alpha and beta. I remember others who got it in the alpha didn't have it in purchase history, as well

 

[Deku Tree]

http://fextralife.com/nioh-death-yokai-multiplayer-durability-fumihiko-yasuda/

So it sounds like there might be a PvP arena in one of the DLCs. But no commitment on that yet.

 

[HStallion]

Does this game have much story driven cut scenes with dialogue? Love everything I'm seeing except for main character.

Yes it has several cut scenes though the game. The main character can't speak Japanese so he and most other characters can't speak directly.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

http://fextralife.com/nioh-death-yokai-multiplayer-durability-fumihiko-yasuda/

Although, one thing we would really like to consider for the future is more facial customization for online play. We do already have armor customization so that should bring some diversity between players online for the time being.

Hey hey hey XD !!

 

[TreIII]

Kinda funny that we learn about the Kusarigama being a weapon type used by an enemy shortly after an enemy was using it in the Nioh manga. I'd almost say that kind of timing was too much of a coincidence.

Love the new boss, too.

 

[Copper]

Looking good. February can't come soon enough.

Also did they mention anything about twilight missions? Will they be implemented in all of the missions?

 

[Begaria]

So what did we learn?

1. New area, Ninja Castle with hidden rotating walls
2. New ninja enemy with kusarigama weapon
3. New boss, giant ninja toad

Did I missed out anything?

I noticed Ki Pulse on Low Stance dodging is back. Looking at some beta feedback changes, this was not listed. Just going through the footage right now, and it doesn't appear the High Stance has Ki Pulse on dodge anymore, but I could be wrong.

 

[Sassen]

Don't think I'll ever wear the beta helmet.

 

[TreIII]

I noticed Ki Pulse on Low Stance dodging is back. Looking at some beta feedback changes, this was not listed. Just going through the footage right now, and it doesn't appear the High Stance has Ki Pulse on dodge anymore, but I could be wrong.

Some others said that they saw Ki Pulse Dodge on High and Low. It'd match what we saw in the most recent demos from TGS and beyond.
