Game Informer | Exclusive Gameplay From Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice's Hirata Estates

Are you telling me I should have expected this? This is the first footage of the game that I've seen..
And this is a From game, so whatever the game is actually about it should be understood that, right or wrong, many gamers, seeing the game for the first time, will be EXPECTING something akin to Dark Souls. Swinging around the map like Spider-Man is not like Dark Souls!
So what was I EXPECTING? Not Spiderman.
Now if you're telling me I'm not entitled to my own opinion... well....
You could have also expected robots then or a first person dungeon crawler.
That said no I misunderstood your post. I assumed you were turned off because the protagonist was doing crazy shit in general and found it dumb instead of it just taking you by surprise.
This is not a Souls game, it has some similarities but it's an action adventure.
Looks incredible. There's going to be major strategy involved, given all the traversal options. I'm hyped.
This game looks ridiculously good. It has the feel of a Souls game but adds great traversal options that really change the whole feel of it (while also fixing a few weaknesses of the Souls games - terrible platforming and not being able to really get around obstacles in the environment). The new setting is also very appealing.
And no more boring PvP that gets forced on you.... even better!

I know its hard to believe but they make other things besides dark souls
I believe I heard they said it's even more challenging lol. And I believe it considering you can't just level up and force your way through.
New ideas from Miyazaki are always worth getting excited about....this is looking interesting for sure.
OP
OP
Game looks incredible but my biggest concern stays - no clothing customization, not even merely cosmetic? That would disappoint me greatly since one of the bigger appeals of From's Soulsbourne games for me was exactly that, eventually looking like a total badass... or bum, whatever I choose to be after many hours of grinding NG+++... So are there any new infos on that particular aspect of Sekiro?
You should give them a try, like seriously you really should. They are the best 3D Metroidvania games ever made, in fact I would even call them Metroidvania Evolved.
That giant fish on the right is my biggest fear in life, it's why I NEVER swim in open water (lake, river, ocean etc.)
Ily anyway buddy <3
Nope. Hopefully unlocked framerate. They've been having disgusting issues with framepacing this gen on consoles.
This isn't an appropriate comment.
(By the way... writing, "You're ignorance makes your opinion... well dumb." - in addition to being lazy and offensive, is also quite funny for a reason that will be obvious to some, but will go whooshing ten thousand miles over your head.)

The GI interview says there is no loot in terms of weapons or armor. So no more fashionsouls.
If I adore Sekiro, I'll check them out.
On the subject of giant aquatic things - is there any chance we will see some giant water bosses?
Just a forewarning, Sekiro is not supposed to be a Souls game. It's got some elements but it's more action adventure then action RPG.
You can't swim in previous Souls games but there are some water bosses such as the hydra from Dark Souls so yes.
It's a tricky fight cause if you get too close to the boss itself you will fall into the water and die.
Also Sekiro is literally not souls, so even if you end up loving Sekiro you might still hate Souls, and vice versa.
I think it has been mentioned that Sekiro will feature "cat and mouse" scenarios where you may not actually fight the giant creatures. Like the giant snake in the earlier footage.
Shorter video that I expected. I really want to see more of this game, but at the same time I appreciate how they're keeping it close to the chest. Also interested in the swimming, wondering if it's just there for the stealth/traversal or if they'll go wild with it for a boss fight.
This game isn't called Dark Souls 4, if you were expecting that then that's your problem. From has made games ranging from Souls to a game about the president of the United States piloting a giant robot, they're not a one-trick pony and they should be free to explore new forms of gameplay.
You can also have an opinion without being completely hyperbolic. Comparing grappling towards specific points to an open world game where you can swing through buildings at high speeds without touching the ground once is like saying Sekiro is Mario just because the main character can jump.

You can also post something that's exaggerated... of course, if you do this, then you have to hope that the exaggeration will not be taken literally.
My favorite giant water boss is Hydrus from Shadow of the Colossus. Hopefully there is a boss like that in Sekiro.You can't swim in previous Souls games but there are some water bosses such as the hydra from Dark Souls so yes.

This might be the first FromSoft game I play to completion. Looks great and I love the traversal stuff so far.
It's actually very appropriate.
When a person posts a lazy comment, calling somebody 'ignorant' and 'dumb', (both unnecessary) and uses incorrect grammar to do so, then that person deserves to be called out on it.
Guess we shouldn't take ninja hunters lightly.I love this bit from the coverage trailer lmao
It's set points. But from the look of footage so far, they are almost everywhere.
The HUD is off in this video, except for unblockable attack warnings, so it's likely those are just turned off.
That's what I'm doing with bloodborne right now! Not sure I'm ready for this game!
