"PS2 era game on modern hardware" I heard this and IMMEDIATELY thought "WOW, that has to be good!" PS2/3 to xbox360 was the golden era of gaming.

That's how I described it to my coworker. Feels nostalgic while having modern benefits.

Yh... we don't need 100 hours worth of content when that content is just collectibles. We also don't need hollywood actors to help sell games, all that this does is inflate the budget and resources needed.

Back when gaming was great.

exactly why it interested me, this is how games should be, as someone who plays PCSX2 a lot, this is right up my alley

So a game that wants a existance of its own beyond the shackles of the toriparasite... It's a surprise, but a welcome one.

Were you here when Lies of P came out?

@@mechanicalmonk2020lies of p was underwhelming and just felt clunky to play. Not to mention it’s basically a souls copy and paste and that’s not everyone’s type of game

except for imput delay but you know, its no big deal right, only a core part of any game.

and costumes unlockable in game for free, no season pass and with paid DLC from launch...

It got me to buy a PS5, so yeah. It just be

Game industry started in the 70's and pretty graphics on the back of the box has been the main selling point every generation. It isn't gonna change

60 should be a target for all games

@@lolcat well thats not gonna happen because of shitty devs and there shitty optimizations of games and I guess "graphics improving" lol which is not entirely happening but Stellar Blade looks great and its good it targets 60 fps but its not an open world game but it is good its 60 like usually u need that in a soul like or parrying game but 60 fps is not gonna happen for everyone demanding game unless u have a really decent gaming pc even then unoptimized games I've seen on a 4090 even struggle

​@@coreypasternak9435I'd rather have more interesting AI and physics than 60fps.

It almost feels like whiplash now when you see what an optimized game looks like, Shift Up deserves a lot of praise for this level of polish

YES, instead of only health bars and flying numbers. I'm sure this took way more effort, but it's so much more intuitive and satisfying.

Oh God, yes. Souls and souls like titles too often make bosses seem like they don’t even feel/care that they’re being hit, even when you’re dealing huge amount of damage to them. It’s frustrating and boring

A hundred times YES to this. Battles done right.

Doom 1993 style

@@WayStedYouwow that’s really cool, didn’t know Doom used sculptures!

I gotta say I truly enjoy development vids explaining and demonstrating how they achieved their goals. Modern Vintage Gamer has some pretty awesome vids on his channel!

Honestly I don’t think it’s that uncommon.a lot goes into the pre production of games/movies etc

This is actually easier than modelling them in 3D software by hand, it's just the tools used to be expensive in Hollywood and product engineering. 3D scanners, photogrammetry and automatic LOD generators are great automation tools that more games should use. And artists can actually have fun in sculpting.

Same honesty. I'm buying this game because of the TV. Recently got an LG OLED and man, it's just gorgeous. SpiderMan2 was amazing but this looks like it's gonna be on another level.

@@TheDouglas717 yeah, I’m excited for this game mainly for its art style. They did an incredible job with all the designs of characters and enemies. I also love a good action game, specifically SoulsLike style combat. I also love games like Sekiro and Lies of P so I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it.

I got the LG c3 two weeks ago games look amazing and the vrr is good can't wait to see stellar blade on it tomorrow

Took the words right out of my mouth

So, true. The games of 2003 to 2014 were already perfect. We need more fun games like this with no bugs rather than a buggy mess with good quality graphics like Cyberbugs and others.

@@syeddanishanweridk about 2014. 90’s-2010 was peak gaming.

If only nintendo knew how to game a game with good controls. Biggest issue with the new Zelda games is how bad the controls and core combat are

There's talent in Korea, Lies of P wad amazing technically as well

@@SafMan89 They've been developing great games for decades, but are mostly known for their MMORPGs like Lineage II, Aion, ArcheAge, Tera, Black Desert etc. which unfortunately were way too grindy for the majority of the Western audience, almost becoming a full-time job if you wanted to compete in PvP. Aion and ArcheAge were absolutely extreme in that regard. Western publishers of these games always added P2W sooner or later. Then the games always died shortly after.

They are pros from various gaming companies.

Korea people just built different

@@SafMan89 Talent is everywhere, western studios are just suffering from a severe lack of meritocratic hiring practices.

​@@RaVVen.P for real, that game looks like ass on performance mode even with the sharp mode option

A PC port will surely come. 1. This is a "smaller" Sony published game, so more chance to arrive on PC sooner. 2. This is a Korean developed game, and the PC is king in Korea. 3. It was in development for PC before Sony took over publishing duties, so at least a basic build already exists. 4. It is an Unreal Engine 4 game, so it's easy to port. 5. Some of us would like to game on a monitor in our little private cubicle away from the big TV in the living room to avoid awkward stares from the wife, understandably, and I think Sony understands this too.

​@@snakedogmanThat's the most important of all

Shift Up existed for over tens years and is not funded by Sony. They're independent. They're also valued at over a billion dollars. They do have a publishing deal with Sony for this specific game, but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the game is self funded because their mobile games make so much dang money for them. I'm not saying this to discredit Kim Hyung-tae in any way. Just that it's not just one guy or small team that came out of nowhere. There's hundreds of devs on that worked on this game.

Miss him too..

Guy is a legend in my book. Ninja Gaiden was the goat of action games back on the Xbox

Itagaki is a hero to me, that guy simply gave no f*cks and refused to be swayed from his vision of what a game should be, I admire that level of fortitude and determination.

I remember him on the XBOX 360 stage back in 2007 showcasing Ninja Gaiden 2. He mentioned how good the hardware was on the 360 and that Team Ninja was using the power of the console to create the best Ninja Gaiden game.

We need more Modern games that feel like impossible old games. We get a lot of SNES or NES like but we need more pretty ps2 like games.

@@sehwut Isn't that supposed to be the entire appeal of Souls likes?

@@islandboy9381 no, ps2 games have a certain flavor of limitations that led to the game design ethos of linear or straightforward with a minor setpieces and asset reuse up the wazoo.

@@jorge69696 My game of the year. I am not overly excited for anything else this year. Unless there are surprise drops, which you never know. That is how I feel just now.

@OtakuBenny2210 I don't like the souls style games. Glad you liked that game. I haven't played BG3. I couldn't comment either way. I don't however engage with identity/division politics. People who do and argue about it, are people who are played like a fiddle by the MSM 24/7, brainwashed into picking sides and theories frok talking heads that engulf their lives, mainly because they lack anything more interesting to talk about or engage with. The world's top 2 percent wealthy, pay bad actors and other media darlings to keep propaganda being pumped at people online and on TV. The design of this is to make enemies between anyone based on differences with each other. These are strings of the masses that they pull and have people at each other like puppets, because they know united people stand together, divided people fall. It makes the masses more malleable and easy to mould for their agendas. They own everything and the online world that feeds you theories and propaganda. They infect your language with buzzwords and catch whatever trending zeitgeist they can as part of mass manipulation. I refuse to acknowledge any of it. I enjoy games for what they are and if I disagree with the message, I don't lose any sleep over it. No one is my enemy. What their private choices for their lives are don't affect me. Live and let live I say. Don't let yourself be played into engaging with any of the language they want you to use. If you don't like something, cool, don't engage. Whatever you do don't be a puppet. They win.

@@OtakuBenny2210 Goty will go to the game that had the most impact. Last year it was bg3 cause it's genuinely an amazing game that was able to attract lots of players (including me) who were never interested in dnd nor would have ever considered playing a game with turned based combat and give them a great RPG experience nonetheless. No other game last year did anything close to that. Lies of P was good but it had some glaring issues and it didn't get much attention cause as a souls-like it didn't really excel at anything and it wasn't genre defining and set new standards for the industry like bg3 and elden ring did the last couple of years.

haha very good

@@mechanicalmonk2020 Yes, Nier was and still is an amazing game with an excellent soundtrack along side it. Story, combat, different game styles (3D, 2D and bullet hell), massive battles, puzzles all combined together in one game. Having 2B in it just made it more pleasing to the eye.

it looks like a good game but it's not going to reach anywhere close to nier automata levels of acclaim lol

I doubt it. It isn't that simple in most cases, and if it were a case in which it was an easy migration, they would have just ported the project over to 5 during development. The sequel will no doubt start development on 5, though.

what...what...*sort* of mods might those be? No no, I'm not thinking of those.

What makes this 'fresh'? The gameplay doesn't look much different than EVERY OTHER Third Person action game? How is this 'fresh' compared to God of War, or Devil May Cry, or Nier, or Dark Souls, etc? Maybe I've finally just aged out, but all these new games just feel like the same basic games I've been playing for 30 years, just with a different story and 'fresh' coat of paint.

Agreed. Him saying it feels like a 2003 game with modern tech is exactly what I’ve been looking for. We need more shorter fun quirky games

LOL, yeah „fresh“. This is the best example of copying all kinds of elements from other games. It’s copied well in execution, but definitely not innovative or creative in any regard. Rather superficial and a bit dull. But whoever likes superficial fun will probably be pleased with it.
