That was the first date of release and they changed it to August 21 which is the same day as the release of Black Myth Wukong and they have to change the date again man lol they cannot take a break.
Lies of P got the combat, bosses and story right, lords of the fallen got the level design, world and build variety right. This game has to nail at least a few of the critical components to be able to compete in this saturated genre, especially with Shadow of the Erdtree on the horizon. And all these souls-likes just demonstrate how legendary fromsoft is, they nail the combat, bosses, level design, exploration, enemy variety, lore, atmosphere in all their games while most souls-likes manage to capture only a couple of these key components.
This gameplay overview is sooooo much better than the last ones. Glad the devs are taking more time on the game and perfecting it. The movements and combat looks much cleaner. 8hr demo?!
If it was being pushed by a AAA Publisher...there wouldn't have have been a delay, and people would've blamed the devs for the state it would've been released in. This is because AAA Publishers now follow the, "release it almost finished...then finish with patches if it garnered "enough sales.""...so not to "miss" a fiscal quarterly deadline...especially with highly anticipated games. (Like GTA "Definitive" Trilogy.)
By the way, I’m so so happy that they’re releasing demos now and I’m happy that’s the independent or smaller studios doing it because it’s free you get to try it and if you enjoy it, you will buy the game which means that the small studios will absolutely get supported Versus if they just drop the game, some people are gonna be hesitant to action buy it
bringing forth an unparalleled level of authenticity in representing Italy - You can say that unless you are having brad pitt doing some italian voice over mate.
dark souls is literally medieval europe, bloodborne is gothic london, lies of P is set in france, elden ring is inspired by nordic/ vikings culture, lords of the fallen is again medieval europe, so is mortal shell. What are you taking about? Most of these games have European culture vibes
‘European culture’ as if there hasnt been a wave of viking games and series. And lots of medieval games set in europe. Rather have some Asian cultures. Besides Grece and Italy Europe doesnt have that much ancient history
Interesting. It seems as if the Souls-like formula is increasingly emulated. With the world alteration mechanic, this is similar to Lords of the Fallen.
game looks amazing and the artstyle is awesome, but the hits and animations feel a bit clunky, hope the devs can adjust them til the final release, added on the wishlist
"We created the unraveling mechanic, where a special status can be filled by chaining attacks and once filled a special reposte attack can be made". Soo a poise status with a staggering effect. That isnt exactly new. Game looks interesting though.
Played the Demo. Need's some polish and at least in the demo it feels like fast dex weapons are favoured over slower strength weapons, but that could change. It was enough to sell me on the game though, so this is definitely on my wishlist now.
Looks wonderful. Really reminds me of dark souls 2 in graphical and art style. Best of luck. Hoping it stacks up with lies of p, the goat of non fromsoft soulslike
Afte Lies of P my expectations for Soulslike other then fromsoft are really high..lords of the fallen was Meh at best after Lies...I'm excited for the Demo
These studios like neowiz from lies of p and shift up from stellar blade will keep the industry alive. Ignore studios like activision and Ubisoft that want to force DEI into every aspect of gaming.
