[Draugoth]

New trailer of Phantom Blade Zero, giving a sneak peek to the latest development of the game, featuring never-shown-before footage depicting high-speed combat and multiple weapons, among other game play elements. Announcement of a World Tour Demo.

Demo:

 

[Labadal]

Tour a demo all over the world, but do not offer it to players at home.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Is this souls-like or something more like a character action game? Would be cool if it was the later.

 

[Madflavor]

Looks pretty cool, I'm in.

 

[Thief1987]

Combat looks like press x to jason, not like a real thing

 

[rkofan87]

Tour a demo all over the world, but do not offer it to players at home.

this that is dumb.

 

[Fbh]

Doesn't look bad but it feels like half of the devs in China are making the same game.
Can't keep track of all these samey looking soulslikes.

 

[Aion002]

Seems realy cool.

Although the triangle symbol on enemies kinda worries me... I hope that is not a qte fest...

 

[Represent.]

combat looks dope, animations look really good.

Same could be said about Japan and half of the west really

 

[Bartski]

looks really good IMO, I'm in. I hope this demo will be released to the general public after all the preveiws

 

[Alan Silvestro]

It reminds me Bujingai. And it's a good thing.

 

[Killer8]

QTEs are back, motherfuckers, and I am here for it.

 

[Katatonic]

Love these type of third person action games way more than the typical soul's likes. I think the one button kills are for finishers and such. Let's see.

 

[GHG]

Something feels off about this one.

Possibly more style over substance given the qte style prompts, but I'm more than open to beinf surprised.

 

[Lokaum D+]

This reminds me good old hack n slash, day one.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Fuck it :
Besides being the saving grace of the Doritos Pope shit-show, this - if only it'll play half as good as it looks - has the potential to be another "out of nowhere" hit like Stellar blade.
Those triangle prompts are literally for finishers, I don't get why people are still sceptical, sure, it appears like there's some QTEs also during some "cinematic " moments but that's not a deal breaker IMO.

Graphics looks really nice, animations also and the art-direction looks fucking stellar, that shot at 0:29-0:30, sheeeeiittt.
Hot take : the art is on par with a FROM title, everything looks "just right".

I give zero fooks if it looks "derivative", give me that atmosphere and I'm in...

This and Berserk Khazan are already in my wishlist

 

[Chechack]

COmbat seems mixture of sekiro parry etc.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Looks great but I'm sceptical of any Chinese clones, wait and see, fingers crossed.

 

[TintoConCasera]

This reminds me good old hack n slash, day one.

Possibly more style over substance given the qte style prompt

Am I the only one getting some Metal Gear Rising vibes from this one? The QTEs, the simple yet fast and good looking combat...

 

[Punished Miku]

It has potential. Definitely some cool attacks and animations.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Looks way better than expected. Any word on PC?

 

[adamsapple]

It looks like a game made up of all the QTE segments in Metal Gear Rising

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks awesome! Game of the show!

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Honestly saved the show for me. It looks amazing and it hope it plays as well as it looks.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Are they acting like rockstars before they even perform? It looks good, but why hide it under all this PR BS at select locations?

 

[j0hnnix]

Probably only game that made me stop sniffing my socks.

 

[Party McHardy]

Yes Please. Anything with a resemblance to Sekiro has my money.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

L2 = Use skill
L1 = Parry/Block (perfect block if used before enemy hits)
R2 = Use shadow arm
R1 = Evade (+ L = fast stride)
△ = Heavy atk

You missed the sticks

Left = Move character
Left down = Guide
Right = Move camera
Right down = Lock on / switch target

 

[JTCx]

The more action games the better.

 

[R6Rider]

Nice. Looks good so far.

 

[lh032]

those parry looks scripted.

 

[Dr. Acid Avatar]

Is this PS5/PC?

 

[demonstr8]

I strongly dislike QTE's as well lads but it's pretty clearly finisher prompts that appear when the energy is out of what I presume is stamina.

 

[GymWolf]

Something feels off about this one.

Possibly more style over substance given the qte style prompts, but I'm more than open to beinf surprised.

Same feeling but it looks cool nevertheless.

 

[The_Observer]

Funny, I thought this game was the samurai game (can’t remember the name) that released recently and I remembered it looking much better. Now I realized that because this is an entirely different game and it still looks sick.

 

[Puscifer]

Tour a demo all over the world, but do not offer it to players at home.

Been like this for years

 

[RaduN]

Is this souls-like or something more like a character action game? Would be cool if it was the later.

Looks much closer to Gow than anything else.

 

[VeganElduderino]

That looks fuckin good!

 

[DavidGzz]

Much better than the reveal which made it look on rails with nothing but QTEs. Looks hot.

 

[Clear]

Really like the dirty grimy art-direction on this one, hope its good.

 

[pasterpl]

Looks way better than expected. Any word on PC?

It is confirmed for PS5 and PC

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Really like the dirty grimy art-direction on this one, hope its good.

This.exactly.

Maybe it's because - generally speaking - i like grim/dark esthetics but everything that's been shown so far looks "just right" and the biggest compliment I can give to the game is that the art-direction is on par with a FROM title, these dudes really did their homework.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Definitely got my eyes on this. Looks incredible. Like a fast paced Sekiro with a more dark and twisted aesthetic to it. The enemy designs looked pretty sick. Hype!

 

[sigmaZ]

 

[thatJohann]

I’m so over all these hard souls like games.

 

[MALpractice311]

I'm getting weird vibes from this game. It looks fake. The sword play looks completely scripted and weightless. I'm going to have to get this game in my hands before I can really understand what's going on.

 

[Jibran#one]

I've always wondered why was there no dodge and parry animations like this in souls games

 

[Camreezie]

Samurai and Soul games really are dime a dozen this generation

 

[hlm666]

It is confirmed for PS5 and PC

Well the official trailer lists steam and egs so yeh confirmed, just typical sony trailer cutting the end splash screen listing other platforms.
