Sucker Punch Productions on suicide watch?

why the FUCK would you make a game about japan based on the fucking insignificant mongol incursion?
if you want to make a game about japan, make it about one of the interesting parts. if you want to make a game about the mongol invasion, set it in fucking china

>still no videogame about the Genpei War

Damn...

>all the work that went into minor details like the sword getting bloody and the leaves moving when stepped on
>forgot to work on the gameplay
pretty good summary of how the west handles game design

>you are my friend and ally but you aren't letting me kill this monk so now I am going to try to kill you with a sword
top ten anime betrayal

Mongols are so underutilized in games anyway.

>that westernshit jank
OH NO NO NO NO

>woman samurai
OHNONONO

the whole autumn leaves falling in the sunset is cliche as fuck but I kinda like it

the combat looks fucking whack after playing Sekiro, though.

is everyone here this retarded? Sekiro barely broke 2 million. It's pathetic compared to the average Sony game

Here here brother.

Combat looks bad, but the scenery is kino as fuck.

>the combat looks fucking whack
The soft Naughty Dog animations with zero impact makes me wanna puke.

At least the Ghost is properly cleansing his blade of blood by spinning it, something the Sekiro is too retarded to do apparently.

Yeah, like that garbage bloodborne.

It's going to sell millions more. Enough that it will be Sekiro that will be the point of reference for the setting. SP devs are sweating. They can't compete with FS gameplay.

At least Sekiro has gameplay. Gameplay is more important than anything else.

>memeslides covering three meters for a thrust attack like she's dante doing a stinger
very kinomatographique

It's the Naughty Dog slide. It happens in games where devs prioritize animations over gameplay.

I'm really enjoying Sekrio at the moment, don't get me wrong. But I'm also an absolute sucker for Iaijutsu, like youtube.com/watch?v=0MtWtPEbTb0

I have nothing against the setting. Mongols are underused in fiction, they were some of the most hardcore badasses ever. I say this as someone not liking the gameplay so far though, I think it looks less good than Nioh and Sekiro.

That's absolutely what you get for trying to cash-in on someone else's ideas.

samurai + arkham asylum combat what's not to love? it will blow shitkiro out of the water

It's likely Ghost started production before Sekiro. But FS don't bother with AAA shit so they pump out their games with years less in dev time. And in much higher quality.

>Nioh 2 is also fucked
Why?

I wish Sekiro wore some kind of face cover, just aint a ninja without it

Nioh 1 sold because it was marketed as Souls but in Japan. Now Sekiro already got that niche covered aswell.

iai isn't a real combat technique it only works if you're an anime samurai

Sekiro isn't like souls tho.

>Nioh 2 is also fucked.
No, because Nioh 2 is aiming to be more of a Soulborne title than Sekiro is. Nioh 2 is literally gonna be Nioh but with character customization.

That's because Sony is used to making movies and not games

You're braindead if you think that learning how to properly open a sword fight is not important. Of course you don't JUST train Iai.

There can be games of the same genre that both sell well.

iai is as real as cowboy quickdraw at high noon

Weak bait

have they shown anything other than what they showed at e3?

That's wrong. Devs said that Nioh gave them a lot of confidence so for Nioh 2 they feel like they can make the gameplay closer to how the original vision was instead of doing a souls-type thing.

Gameplay is a literal afterthought for western devs. They think of a cool setting/story first and then try to find some simplistic gameplay that will fit that aesthetic. There's an article that gets posted around here occasionally where Japanese game devs were working with some western ones and were baffled that in their game design documents they went on and on about the setting and the characters and only got around to describing what the GAME was supposed to be like in a short blurb at the end of the document.

>Sly Cooper is my favorite series
>Loved inFamous
Should I just skip Ghost? The combat looks so shallow, and if it's entirely based on that... What's the point?

Where's the "Witcher 3" Sashimi pasta?

left is a cinematic experience, right is a videogame

I think it was either Kojima or Itsuno saying it. Japs go crazy describing gameplay and build their games around that. Western devs want to tell a story and then they shoehorn in gameplay in there aswell a la Uncharted.

Based

I'm just glad we finally get so much samurai/shinobi stuff

>Should I just skip Ghost?
Do whatever you want. Pretty much nothing has been released on it yet.

i think the most recent game that I played that mixed gameplay and storytelling really well was Persona 5. people like to hate on that game on Yea Forums because it's popular and well received, but I think it meshed the two together so well. every mechanic made sense in the setting of the game and fit together perfectly

it's easily one of my favorite JRPGs because of that fact and its excellent presentation

ghost is just another of sony's movie games.

i really disliked the way the blood gushed out of the characters whenever they were stabbed

All these games and their best one was still Sly 2

Lightning delivery boy was very good.
