Is it confirmed? I thought you could only use it for finishing off the bosses.
That's what Miyazaki said when asked about it.
Really? I thought you spend the resource you gain from killing enemies (souls, echoes, whatever) to unlock stuff in the skill trees? In which case grinding would be possible.
Well there's a finite number of skills you can get and some are locked before you find them in the world/get them from bosses. It's not as big of a growth as just grinding levels.

Do we know what any of skills are you can unlock? Are we expecting "do 10% damage" unlocks or new move/abilities?

I was under the impression that they would be new moves. Pretty sure one of them gives a dash attack follow up to the shuriken trick arm, for example.

There are moves you can get and there are passives you can get as well.

Interesting. Though I suppose locking passive stat bonuses to exploration still fits their goal of disallowing grinding.

Anyone hear anything about the framerate on base PS4? Trying to figure out if I should buy this game on PC or PS4.

Shit, I said I wasn't going to look at anything, but I might watch a teeny tiny bit of preview stuff.
Game Informer's coverage early in Feb wasn't spoilery and kept things brief if you want tiny bits of info. I don't feel like it betrays any of the story outside of what we know from trailers, although it does show two boss fights.

Masagiwa Has there been any water or aquatic-based combat confirmed? I've only seen traversal with Sekiro's water stride in gameplay videos.

Nothing confirmed or shown yet. If you take the time to implement water traversal in the game there sure will be some use of it. Even if water combat doesn't end up in the game, there might be hidden areas accessible through water.

We don't know yet but they might bring it up in the previews. Having no online component has hopefully given them more time to focus on things like performance. I know they've mentioned that they targeted resolution before frame rate but we just have to wait and see.

yeah hopefully the previews will clear up what the framerate is on consoles. Hoping that there will be a DS3 esque Pro patch framerate at the very least on Pro. Or at least give me the option for an unlocked framerate.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |OT| Noh Pushover

As someone who can generally bumble their way through the Souls games (partially thanks to overlevelling and summoning usually), this seems like it's going to be a pretty big challenge so far, but looking forward to diving in with everyone else

Getting really hyped for the 6th.

I want a Future Press guide, those are always the most high quality ones.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |OT| Not a Souls game
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |OT| Ninja Motorboat Action (context:you can use your prosthetic arm to turn yourself into a ninja motorboat)
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |OT| Prepare to Die Twice


That's why you have a number of prosthetic tools instead of heavy attack(like axe,flame thrower, shuriken). Each prosthetic tool even changes the base katana moveset in some ways.
And who knows, maybe we will be able to use Fushigiri in some way later in the game too. Pure speculation at this point.

I like Prepare to Die Twice

With the skill tree and everything the closest game I can think of in terms of progression is God of W4r. I'm sure there are other games that do all that to but it's the first that comes to mind,

True, though I think gear is the biggest factor when it comes to progression in that game (your character level is determined by the level of your gear) whereas Sekiro has no gear or stats at all.

I barely paid attention to the gear-based leveling system and forgot about it just now.

I really disliked that system.

Yo what is LIJoe doing there lmao, that FGC clout I'm tellin' ya!

Really happy for him, though, one of the biggest Souls fans there is.

i am on blackout now, won´t watch anything till release, but nice that they will do this stream on the 10th for people who want to see more.

i fully expect this game to be From Soft firing on all cylinders without the Souls weight on their necks...could turn out to be Miyazakis Magnum Opus. i think many people aren´t even aware that this game will turn out is one of the defining experiences this console generation.

Preach! It totally will be.

I hope the previews cover the Hirata Estates, if it's something else I don't wanna watch but I don't think I'll be able to resist lol.

review embargo lifts on March 6th?...they must be really confident in the game to have reviews come out 2+ weeks from release
