Yes but this is a multiplatform game with PC as a target its most likelly that version that is being shown...
probably means we get a good amount of gameplay. Wish us at home are one day given demos from these events for games coming out that soon :/ one day.
I would be very happy if it came so early in the year. Middle of February is packed though, so interesting to see if that will be the release date.
Oh wow that's not that far way, perfect time too early in the year.
Probably the case, though with these visuals 60fps Pro/X versions aren't out of the question.
Don't set yourself up for disappointment.
I knew you would and there's nothing wrong with it.
Most of the hate seems to come from bitter Nioh fans who are about to have there game undone by the creators of the Soulsborne genre.
What hate? I can assure you, this will play nothing like Nioh in the same way Nioh really didn't play much at all like any of the souls games. It only cribbed a few tertiary mechanics. People enjoy both types of gameplay and don't really fight all that much about it.
What are you talking about? The combat in Nioh is also unmatched by any Souls games.

Hoo boy, these two takes are lightning hot.
Probably my most anticipated game right now.
If you are on the fence, I highly recommend reading Edge's recent feature on the game.
Really fucking hoping Activision/Microsoft push for a good X patch and I have my fingers crossed for HDR.
I've played all the Soulsborne games but this is the first From game where I will be a part of the pre-release hype.
I can hear the graveyard murmurs. It's almost time. I cant wait. I just cant wait

I'd love you to explain more how thinking Nioh's combat is better than Souls games is a hottake.
So now Nioh fans are searching for a way to tell sekiro fans that Nioh is superior.
It is so SAD.
People just enjoy the Fucking Games.
Besides this battle was started by SONY FANS the day that GIF (the people running to play SDT) was aired.
In reality Nioh never never NEVER had a single chance to defeat SEKIRO.
And 98 always be superior to 88.
Nioh is business.
SEKIRO IS ART.

Hell yeah! Sekiro and RE 2 REmake are the only games that matter during the first two months of 2019. ;p
I have zero doubts about the game mechanics. Just hope they will keep the difficulty as punishing as the previews say so.

Uhh, that second one isn't a hot take. It's a pretty well agreed upon opinion. The rest of the game isn't anywhere close to Souls in terms of atmosphere or level design but in terms of combat it blows Souls out of the water.
For people who like anime games maybe. And no, Bloodborne is agreed to have the best gameplay of anything in the genre.
While Nioh does have the varying stances that give each weapon more moves, the amount of weapons is pitiful compared to the Souls games. Even base Bloodborne has about twice as many "move sets" for weapons than base Nioh does (and DLC Bloodborne has about 50 overall while Nioh has 21 or 22 IIRC). The Ninjitsu/item/magic system in Nioh is really great, but still not nearly as strong as the magic system in Dark Souls 2 or Dark Souls 3. The way items are treated like a "class" oriented item in Nioh, that can be scaled up to be useful even in tougher situations, is a really great touch though. The extremely limited enemy variety really hurts the potential of the combat in Nioh though, since aside from unique boss fights, you deal with almost any conceivable enemy encounter and arrangement within the first half. There's hardly any new enemies introduced in the second half, and there's far too few level design gimmicks or clever enemy placement to make the fights feel distinct from each other. For reference, I finished Nioh and about 70-80% of the tedious side quests in 35 hours, whereas Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne were constantly ferrying me to new areas with new enemies and more unique challenges, and those games each took me 40 hours to beat with every boss defeated (not counting Chalice Dungeons). The stamina system with the Chi Pulse mechanic is a cool touch, and I like the sense of rhythm and tactile feedback it gives to lengthier encounters (especially against human enemies). Also, the New Game+ modes are a joke of min-maxing stats and gear to avoid being one or two shot by bosses that have laughably ballooned HP pools.

It is very lame that people are arguing about Nioh vs Souls vs Sekiro now just because SDT is also ostensibly a samurai game.
What does Nioh have to do with anime? This is new to me. And I prefer Bloodborne's gameplay (while I do love Nioh's combat too).
They're actually quite different. Nioh has deeper combat, for sure, but I prefer Bloodborne's.
Pretty sure the game will play and looks like a souls game without leveling weapons and giving yourself stats. So like an action game without the dex/str/magic builds.
A Souls game without RPG elements is just a bland action game with 3-hit combos. They're going to change up the combat significantly I think.
For a game that is probably releasing early to mid 2019 I think this isn't all that soon. It's perfect though. :)
