This doesn't explain how my post was a hottake, unless you think someone having a different opinion than yours is a hottake.
I think it will be a mix between Bloodborne trick weapons and Niohs skill tree with abilities...unlock whirlwind attacks, spin kick, combo variations etc. But the essence of the game, such as difficulty, side stepping for positioning, back stabs, dodging will feel like a soulsborne game.
I know they're saying it will be playable at gamescom, but will footage of it be allowed to be recorded (since at E3 they gave journalists access but didn't allow footage of it to be shown)?
Flying visceral attack...Day 1 purchase confirmed.
Main character is my wallet
It is playable on the show floor. No way they can stop people from filming that.
There is also a Microsoft press event on Tuesday the 21st of August (early in the morning) where the game will be playable for the press. That means you can probably expect some footage around that time as well.
The new death mechanic, grappling hook traversal, stealth as an option and combat system all seem pretty different from Souls, as is the removal of all the RPG elements.
I think the only things it shares are the interconnected world design and high difficulty.
At least that's the impression I got from the hands-on Edge preview last month.

Checkmate, atheists.
I want a refund already, fucking Miyazaki.
Not any confirmation of the actual demo, but at least some footage is confirmed.
Holy crap its already here.... snuck up on me but goddamn its time for DMC!!!!!
Is this a sarcastic post or just purposeful misinformation? cause I'm pretty sure Miyazaki is the lead, the visionary, the creator etc on this just like DS1 and Bloodborne? In fact, it was only started when Bloodborne was finished, also lending credence to the fairly obvious fact that it is the "main team."
That sure is a strange name for an "air assassination." :P
I'm pretty sure he was obviously being sarcastic and mocking certain posters of this very forum, since there were comments on the reveal trailer saying this looks like it was done by the "B Team" (which I think is a dumb term to throw around regardless of whether there is truth to that).

Looking forward to impressions. So glad to see FromSoftware doing something that is not part of the Soulsborne series.

Some impressions from PSX South East. Apparently the trick arms all have there own unique movesets, so people who we're worried about variety should rest easy.

taking notes from ghost of tsushima? :P
personally i am expecting this game to be the hardest Fromsoft game to date
Sony doesn't really have anything at Gamescom, right? So it can't be Déraciné. Super interested in that game.
Though hopefully we can finally expect proper support for Pro / One X for this game (unlike BB and DS3), so maybe those platforms will get 1080p60?
It could very well be, since they don't have to balance the game around every possible build players can concoct. It depends on how much weapon / gadget / skills variety we get.
The fact that the game world is rumored to be interconnected is music to my ears.

At least under Xbox's Enhanced List, Sekiro will have HDR which is cool and I think a first for a FromSoftware game. It doesn't say it's 4K though probably assuming it will run in 2K or so is my guess. But yeah I think it's safe to say that this time around the support for the upgraded consoles will be there.
If DS3 is any indication, they really didn't bother balancing the bosses too much. For the average player, fast hitting quality or dex builds probably yield the greatest success.
I also hope they don't keep perpetually escalating the difficulty. BB/DS3 difficulty has hit the sweet spot.
