Finally, a high test fantasy game without mopey Japanese bullshit. Just dudes in heavy armor fighting each other and chicks with huge tits. Gaming is alive.

>chicks with huge tits
Gonna need to see some proof on that one
he meant to say "huge chicks with tits"
>huge chicks with tits
Gaming is alive.
Not gonna lie, the trailer was pretty cool. Activated my neurons.
The first one was a tech demo and a school project. Absolutely dreadful and clunky. I honestly wouldn't mind if they'd make this into more of a campy shlock like Darksiders, with similar combat or something.
>more of a campy shlock like Darksiders
Real shame what happened to 3, it was a fun series while it lasted.
The big stupid armor makes me wish this was just a 30k game set on Caliban with The Lion as the player character. A young Primarch fights to free his world from the encroaching demons. Thats it.
>big stupid armor
...is a sign that it'll be kino. You just have SHIT taste.
I love the armor, but you cant deny its big and stupid. Thats what makes it sick. A Space Marine wouldn't be a Space Marine in some gay shit like 343 Halo armor.
>40gay
The first one was massively overhyped and turned out to be abysmal, a lot of these souls clones turn out the same; cool aesthetic, cool world, cool setting, all let down by derivative and lazy gameplay.
is hould replay it
it was my first souls-like since it was developed primarily for PC and back then i liked the gameplay
call me a gay but i liked the first game's visuals too
no one cares dev
it's going to be shit like all their games
I just think she's neat.
I'm glad they are being shameless.
>you want Melania and Artorias???
Artorias I get insofar as they are both copying the same homework.
Choose your destiny, Ganker.
Team Punished Angel or Team Bitchy Blonde Paladin?
I'm partial to the blonde myself.
For me it's the angel so we will face in invasions
Punished Angel because she looks like Casca.
angel for sure
I bet blondie would look fantastic with a cock in her mouth, but the bloody mess gets my jimmies rustlin real good.
right looks like sweet dee
I wish normalfags cared about animation quality more than they do, it's the one thing keeping me from thinking this looks great. Animation is important in both how the game looks in motion and also how it feels to play. They'll never reach Souls quality if they can't even begin to compare to 2011's Dark Souls 1 in that department.
If you wanna see terribad animations look at Jedi Survivor
Oh yeah, that one is abhorrent. This is miles better, it's just that every other department of game's visuals is two generations ahead of DS1, but animation work still doesn't come even close in any of its "clones". They'll never stop feeling like cheap copies unless they manage to deliver the same kind of polish.
I don't know why almost all western action games have the same shitty limp combat animations. Over dependence on mocap maybe? The only western studio that does decent combat animations I can think of off the top of my head is Blizzard, and they don't even fucking make action games. I guess For Honor does OK when it feels like it, but then a 700ms move becomes 500ms for balance reasons and it looks like molten diarrhea.
Sony Santa Monica is probably the single western studio that makes genuinely good melee combat animations.
And I definitely think it's over reliance on mocap over keyframing, same issue Dark Souls II suffered from, which was thankfully course corrected in every single game they've made since.
They don't understand impact, snap movement, windup and release, etc. DmC's animations were so bad in development that Itsuno had to fly in and fix it. From the trailers this game is the same floaty shit.

>surge 2 was their last game
it's going to be shit
is this even Deck 13?
its ci games who worked with d13 on the first game. ci has been making sniper games for about 80 years.
right it says
>Developer(s) Hexworks
>Publisher(s) CI Games
ok slim chance it's not shit but it's a new studio
okay, i looked it up
original game was developed by Deck 13, published by CI games. CI games owns the rights, apparetly
Deck 13 was going to develop a sequel but it was cancelled after 2 years of mainly pre-production
CI games contracted another studio who would start over from scratch but then CI games cancelled the contract
then in 2020 they went on to found a new Spanish - Romanian studio to develop the game, that's Hexworks
>original game was developed by Deck 13, published by CI games
the fuck? I could've sworn it was published by Bamco
You might be thinking of Code Vein? That was published by bamco iirc.
maybe they were the official distributor in your country
this shit makes my head spin
are there frilled battledresses?
from the trailer it looked like the MC is canonically male
My rebuttal:
>Faction wars.
>Seamless invasion party vs seamless coop players
It won't be as good as From Souls but it could still be really fun
>video games
>high test
that pic is awesome
It perfectly shows why men are the superior species. no matter how old you are, be charming and take care of yourself and you will always have college hoes all over your dick
>just be a rich and handsome actor bro
you can scrap the rich actor part. go to a party in any college town and you are guaranteed to have fun
>Hexworks had high ambitions for the game, with Virtosu adding that the studio wanted to be "the second reference [after FromSoftware]" for the Soulsborne genre.
they already tried this. just why.
>Souls clone
>goes hard into the aesthetics and production values
>trailers look great
>game comes out
>it's a total slog
Every single time.
Kino
The final boss better take place on that giant hand
>walk into final boss arena
>ground starts rumbling
>hand pops out of the ground and grabs you
>cue boss music and healthbar labeled HAND OF ADYR
It's Adyr's resurrection s probably yeah
It's motion capture, a blight that ruined Dark Souls 2 animations too
I dont think souls is anything special but the few souls likes I've tried just feel like cheap, clunkier ripoffs.

i had a good time with the first one. the final part was completely broken on ps4 and had almost 0 sound so i was laughing thru most the final fight but it was fun. this looks a lot better though a bit "boring" as in just what you expect from souls stuff
Looks better than the first one and that other piece of shit Mortal Shell.
I am so ready for Christian Souls
