Oh come AWN man. First they didnt want kiryu hitting women now this. I guess these devs just dont like cool things. Makes me wonder what other great ideas developers or their higher ups mightve prevented from happening. They put the cool badass fighting yakuza man in monkey ball and a golf game but refuse to put him in a fighting game where he can actually fight. Like what he does in his own games. Smh
I aint rushing them or anything but I was just hoping they wouldve shown off more. A level walktrhough, cutscenes, more characters, etc. Its been a long time since the last showing and this is all they have. Its a bummer.
It looks solid but I need some raw gameplay to truly judge. Still I'm a bit bummed out now. I was hoping arcsys was doing it and actually trying their hand at action games. I dont think theres ever been a yuke's game that I was really interested in. Hopefully the final game will look better. Its still nice to see these classic bralwers coming back in a different style than the same pixel art stuff we've been getting
@Westernwolf4 kind of an odd comment. Sunsets traversal is similar to Spiderman but its still pretty different. Feels more platformy. Most of the time in Spiderman you can travel just by web swinging alone without the extra jumps or wall runs. They're pretty different movement systems.
A lot of us want something a little more different than the usual grounded and realistic Super hero game. A lot of us do care more for gameplay than story
Personally nothing can ever really put me off cuz I'm too prideful to accept defeat. No matter how frustrating I would still have a drive to beat the game.
Anyway I appreciate challenge when its legit. Maybe with some clever design or enemies that push me to really think about properly utilizing my moves and whatnot. What I dont like is stuff like spongey enemies, insane damage, instakills, etc. Stuff like that just feels cheap to me
Twas a really good game but a few things prevented it from being great. It couldve been much shorter, the eikon abilities shouldn't have cooldown, ultima should've just been scrapped from the story and it focuses on the warring countries and stuff, Barnabas should've been the main villain or maybe his mother who could've corrupted him or something, fewer side quests and maybe some other things I can't really think of right now. It basically needed some fat trimmed off of it. I also think the moveset could've been expanded. It didn't feel like enough. Perhaps Jill, Joshua, and Cid could've been playable
Playroom is still the best ps5 game released so far and it seems itll only be beaten by its sequel. I'm way too hype for this and I truly hope it sells at least a few million
I feel that the people who are tired of sonys usual first party output and want rhe cool unique stuff like astro are supporting these kinds of games, but they're just greatly outnumbered by people who want the same stuff over and over.
I'd only want a lst of us 3 so maybe ellie can win her family back and focus on finding a cure. I just dont want it to end on the dog poop 2nd game.
Anyway I can only have faith in ND again if they give me something new. Sylized, fantasy, SOMETHING. Their new IP could be the same as uncharted or last of us. Same hyper realistic graphics, same basic gameplay, no cool artstyle or anything else to make the game stand out, etc. Hopefully its much more appealing.
@JohntheRaptor how are the nioh games not soulslikes? They play differently but they have the shrines which are pretty much bonfires, the same styled bosses, different builds, lose your "souls" upon death and have to recollect, etc
still waiting for them to return to stylish action. They cant keep doing these games forever. They have to return to their roots eventually right? RIGHT???
I much prefer their sidescrolling beat em ups over their other games. Hoping that the artstyle is similar to unicorn overlord with the gameplay of Odin sphere L.
I still dont get it. Regardless of whatever censorship you do to the ooutfits, theyre still raunchy and provocative anyway. And why censor blood splatter when the monsters are still getting bisected with gallons of blood splurting out of their bodies anyway?
@DETfaninATL I don't get the bayo comparisons. Besides both having a hot female mc. As for nier there are a few things. The music (same composer I think), hot female mc who's fighting in a war, several of her teammates die in the beginning, there's a little drone companion that helps you in combat, post apocalyptic world, and whatever else. The nier comparisons seem more understandable
Well that's nice of him to say but nier auto had a LOT going for it. I'm loving stellar blade but I doubt it'll be of nier's quality. It could be, but I doubt it.
@stocko yea the story modes in CC2's games are the best part imo. I wish they were able to just make whole single player action games instead of the usual arena fighter
@Specky lol true fans have been wanting this exact game for ages. Tho I do agree it would be nice to have a really good adventure game for the series, But wh o knows if we'll ever see something ike that. Closest thing so far would be that sandland game
This game easily became an all time favorite. One of those games where its like the devs read my mind, saw a bunch of things I like and made a game out of those thoughts. Can't wait to see what else tango puts out
I just want them to make another game like otogi orr metal wolf chaos. Just change it up a bit. I know they just released AC6 but weve already had plenty of those as well
@RainbowGazelle I'm pretty hype for this but its looking a little PS3ish ngl. This is one of those few times where the backlash is understandable. Not only the graphics but framerate and animations arent looking too hot either. I sure hope they were using an early build for these trailers and that the final game will look much better
@CrackmanNL I'm excited for this and will be picking it up but it does look like it needs more time in the oven. I'm just hoping the final build will be more polished
@Specky so you want the game to be boring lol. But fr sushi ghost is the one game that seems to fit your description but you call that game arcadey as well. What exactly do you want 😅
@Ryan22sp lmao I don't think I disagree with a single thing you said. I just straight up dont care about Sony's major 1st party stuff with maybe an exception here and there like returnal and astro. Until their major studios can show me anything that isn't some Hyper realistic, grounded and basic game then I remain fast asleep on them. Still plenty out there to eat anyway
The trailers looked pretty cool but it just didnt do much to stand out. It felt like a dlc add on for call of duty. Doom, shadow warrior 3, ghostwire, etc those kinds of games have something that stands out
@AdamNovice the tenkaichi games were pretty much the definitive dragon ball games. Almost every character that threw a punch was playable, had the best combat mechanics in any arena fighter, had the large arenas to freely fly around in and destroy, etc etc. It's very exciting to see that series return on much more powerful hardware on a much larger scale
@nomither6 the problem with that was Fighterz had a much smaller roster and there were characters who could've been chosen instead of yet another goku and vegeta. Multiple versions of a character are fine here since there will be a huge selection to choose from
@CharlieChooChoo Yup. FYI the studio behind it, Soleil, is made up of ex Team ninja devs and one of the directors of Black directed this game as well. Dont be fooled like many other people tho. This game is its own thing. It doesnt play like ninja gaiden at all so dont expect fast paced combos and izuna drops and such. It just has a similar feel imo. Especially with how difficult and aggressive the enemies can be.
I can definitely see why many people were turned off by this but I really like this game. It just requires your time to really learn and get a handle on the commbat. It gave me a similar feel that I had when I first played Ninja gaiden black
@PegasusActual93 it could be that but it could also be that the people who want and support these creative and different games are greatly outnumbered by people who don't care for them and want the usual sony exclusive, souls game, etc

Re: Preview: Astro Bot on PS5 Could Be the Best 3D Platformer This Side of Nintendo
