showtime Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 From the developers that has brought us Armored Core, Dark Souls and Bloodborne - FromSoftware has now brought us Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The game is set during the Sengoku period in Japan (1460-1600). It was a time military conflict and constant social upheaval. Seems like the plot of this game is Sekiro attempts to take revenge on a samurai who attacked him and kidnapped his lord. As cited from Wikipedia. The game looks amazing graphically. A couple of differences between this and Dark Souls is the movement ability, being able to pause the game and being able to respawn when you die. I'm not completely sure of all the details, but I am excited. I haven't been this excited for a release since Monster Hunter World early last year. I already have the game pre-ordered. The game releases on PS4, Xbox One and Steam on March 22, 2019. The official launch trailer was released today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjfja_fkdldjs Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I think I'd get this one over Ghost of Tsushima, not sure I'll actually get it, but it looks good. I'll probably watch someone play a bit and decide from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the video, I'll check it out sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 On the Xbox website it shows the game as a 12.58 GB download, which is very very nice for people who want to digitally download but don't have the greatest internet or have internet data caps.

Mossburg Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Will be the first game since GTAV that I will be blindly preordering at full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by blindly? Everyone who knows anything about this game knows that it will be great. Same with GTA V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossburg Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Just now, showtime said: Aren't all pre-orders done blindly? I'm not even interested in any details about this game because I don't want to know anything before I play it. I saw the debut trailer and nothing else. Bloodborne was Dark Souls to Van Helsing, this is Dark Souls to feudal Japan. I don't need to know anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed my post, but you responded too quickly haha. I've watched some game play because I really didn't want another Dark Souls game. This game looks so much better and more fun to play, while still being very challenging - which is exactly what I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anything more needs to be added to that series. Also I like that there's no Bloodborne sequel, that game and universe is perfect as is. More games in different settings with their core model is what I want. Maybe the next game could be a post apocalyptic game.

showtime Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Apparently this game won't have any multiplayer/coop elements at all. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think invasions/summons are a core aspect of Souls games but weren’t needed in BB. Co-op has always been pretty janky in these games anyway.

43M Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Waiting for some feedback from some of you. This game has piqued my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Its great. It does all of the things right to be a DS/BB clone without actually copying the entire formula. It feels new and fresh while also feeling familiar at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
