Nioh Looks Really Bloody Good in New PS4 Pro Gameplay

Nioh yeah

by Robert Ramsey Fri 9th Dec 2016

An upcoming release that just looks better and better every time that we see it, Nioh sparkles in this new gameplay from PlayStation Access. As mentioned in the video, the footage is taken from a developer's foray into the brutal action title, so there are no awkward moments and no piddling about - just plenty of action and exploration.

The title's running on a PS4 Pro, with the frame rate seemingly staying at a very smooth 60 frames-per-second. All in all, we think that Nioh's shaping up really well, and we're certainly looking forward to skewering it ourselves when the PlayStation 4 Exclusive launches in February next year.

Do you find yourself focused on Nioh? Proceed with caution in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Not a game I am currently considering but was surprised it wasn't mentioned in the top 5 video's of PSX as it was one of the most impressive looking trailers - far better than Vane for example.

The comparisons to the Wtcher 3, not just because of the Geralt look of the protaganist but impressive looking world too should have merited a lot more attention at the time...

It's a souls-like game, not much like the witcher. In beta there wasn't a world so much as mission icons on a map.

Blatantly heavily influenced by Dark Souls, but has an awesome aesthetic, cooler than the game it's influenced by. Not a bad influence at all either.

I like the smaller, interconnected maps in this game. It was too easy to get lost in Souls games.

Very excited for this game. Never got in to Dark Souls after playing Bloodborne, but that's exactly what the gameplay reminded me of. Thank you PS, the next couple years are looking awesome!!!

@Mega-Gazz I was referring more to the aesthetics rather than the actual game-play...

@GraveLordXD Nah, but the areas are all separated. Each one is nonlinear and interconnected, but it's hard to get lost due to them not being part of a larger open world.
