I'm actually not going to customize the characters myself because I'm use to their default designs now. Do they have canon names? I know the sibling you don't play as is named Akira in the story, but anything beyond that?

Holy fuck only just seen this! And that soundtrack even, oh my. What's with all the djent inspired metal tunes as of late? Love it! :D
That gameplay footage with the bosses looks even more interesting than I thought it would and actually might be most most anticipated game of the year. The combination of using the chains for combat for a number different scenarios and constantly changing in between looks really fun.
So looking forward to this. This is the game that convinced me to get another set of Nintendo Game Vouchers (along with Fire Emblem).
I'm hoping that there will be more of an open-world (or at least semi-open-world) component to it, especially with this concept of investigations and doing police work. But, even if it turns out to be more MGR like - smaller stages with specific goals and set-pieces - I'm still set.

I hope Nintendo reveal Switch Mini really soon so I can consider getting switch before this comes out.
Yeah, the trailers make it look like you're mostly fighting. Some of us suspected that there might be more to the game's world but it wasn't very clear cut.
Game looks awesome. But I have to wonder, has anyone from the press asked why the girl has those shorts instead of proper pants?
The cinematic finisher thing seems to be balanced to not appear all the time. Its gameplay purpose is to refill your Stand meter, much like how MGR's spine crushing refills your zandatsu meter, so if you still have enough to kill a few more enemies, might as well ignore the prompt until the last one.
But if it's as satisfying to do as it was in MGR, I'd just end up using it even when I don't need to. :D
why am I reading this all the time? I mean, we certainly haven't seen what the switch is capable of when being pushed. console optimization is still a thing. the ps4 went from infamous ss to horizon zd and god of war.
They didn't charge me, but I heard some people got charged hours after so.
Once new systems come out, people forget what old systems were capable of. There are folks here who still think GTA 5 can't run on switch despite it being a 360/ps3 game at heart
Hmm, the game looks fairly good, but I fully expected to be blown away by the gameplay, and I'm not. It just doesn't look that fun. The investigation parts look boring too.
Keep trying, it will go through eventually. I spent half an hour refreshing and clicking until I got one.
I couldn't put these videos in the first post since it's limited to post only 4 "videos".
So here some gameplay footage of EACH Legion you will be able to use (you will be able to play them all at once).
SWORD LEGION
ARROW LEGION
BEAST LEGION

Because Platinum normally isn't the studio to put out a Horizon or God of War level technical showcase.
I thought it was mostly focused on story, which is in a way a good tihng (if the story is indeed good), but clearly 1/3 to 1/4 of it should have been investigation/exploration gameplay instead). Battle scenes happen often but seem kinda quick in trailers from what I remember.
We could probably make better trailers ourselves just but by mixing some Treehouse footage together.
Collectors Edition is up on ShopTo in the UK:
Most of their console releases can't hold a stable 60 fps though.
Preordered the LE from EBgames in Australia.
I legit cant recall any slowdown in Bayo 2 or Nier, maybe here and there but perfectly good
Thanks, ordered one. Price itself is nice but the 17€ shipping costs sting.
So far gameplay has been 30fps and that may be very distracting when playing the game for me. I really hope that it'll at least target 60fps on release. It's my only concern so far, everything else looks great.
Sign in, order again, cancel the existing one? You should be OK for the new few mins.
How do you cancel an order when it was made via guest checkout?
I'm not sure, you may have to send them a support email, but I'm sure it can be done.
I called up and the system can't find me, lol.
I preordered on my main account and they emailed their other team to try cancel the guest account order.
:p
this game is definitely not 60fps. we can tell that from the treehouse stream
I'd honestly be stunned if the Switch could push a game like this at 60fps. If it's a solid 30, that's fine with me.
