Gear should effect the bar though, it makes no sense for someone with high strength and heavy armor to stagger as easily as a magic user wearing cloth.
Yeah,obviously.
I feel the combat should be dynamic and play into what type of character you are building but maybe that's asking a lot. Playing a character wearing heavy armor with a greatsword should obviously not be able to traverse and swing the sword as fast as Sekiro. There's also magic users so they have to figure something out there.
I would actually love if there were set classes with unique move-sets and gameplay mechanics. I never felt the classes in Souls were interesting and what you picked really didn't matter in the end. It was obviously a design choice to give player as much freedom as possible but sacrificing the uniqueness of each class.
Playing as let say a Knight you are stripped of the ability to jump and move slower overall. But instead you can wield heavy greatswords and have a more sturdy and powerful horse or something.
And then you have something like a Rogue where you have the ability to jump, dash and stealth past grunt mobs.
All of these set classes stats can of course be modified and their fashion customized but with some core gameplay elements unique to them like the jump or dash. In the end they will probably stick with the souls formula of you creating a blank slate character and just let you go nuts.
As for the engine I'm almost certain it's the same engine used for Sekiro.
Art are just random grabs from Google. They used UE4 for their VR game Déraciné. I would be pleasantly surprised if this was UE4 for such a big game.
If there was ever a time to change engines or revamp their current one this would probably be it
Ehh I was under the impression the game is at least a year or two out and so they have nothing to show at this E3, not even a closed doors demo
stealth edited ;) Even after two years dev its possible they are still not even in pre alpha stage.
That would make omni's post very strange if that were the case here
Hmm, coiled blade? Fire? Something rings a bell here...
New artwork
visions of bonfire
that's what I've been thinking. I think there will be plenty of all-new stuff and lots of stuff based on mechanics and things they've learned from developing Bloodborne, and maybe some things from Sekiro, but I was thinking this will end up seeming like a re-imagining of Dark Souls in many places.
