crispy4000 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 The highlight of Sony's show for me. Fingers crossed most of the footage wasn't just target animations.

Keyser_Soze Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Sony promoting a lot of these Chinese hack and slash games that kinda are looking sameish and at the same time a long way off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkstark Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 If it actually plays like the footage (I have serious doubts) it could be promising. I will assume that was a 100% scripted sequence with no actual gameplay until proven otherwise Edit: apparently the studio making this a mobile game developer... So yeah this is going to be a steaming pile of shit. Cool trailer though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 These types of games always look so fake and fucking awful and I don't know how people keep thinking they look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 My highlight of Sony's PlayStation showcase is, you guessed it, coming to PC | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Phantom Blade: Zero looks like Sekiro on a drunken night out. Quote It seemed like this might be a PlayStation exclusive but the developers subsequently posted the trailer to YouTube, and there were two very important logo additions at the end: the Epic Games Store and Steam. Now, the most obvious thing to say about this trailer is that it seems to be a mix of pre-rendered action sequences and what looks like genuine clips of the combat system, though given the absence of any HUD or other indicators it's hard to say. But if this combat system looks anything like it does here, and feels good in the hands, then this could be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks 100% how I expect any proof-of-concept video to look. You know, the ones that always look way way better than the final product, and which shows gameplay that, based on how humans use controllers, never seems quite right. Like, just the frame rate and the animations seem off. Like how I'd expect a game to look if you left that awful interpolation on with a TV? If I stared at the footage more I could probably pinpoint exactly what I mean, but as it stands this just doesn't do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I don't think this interview with the developers did them any favors as far as putting to rest the nagging doubts about this game's "existence" Phantom Blade Zero Developer Shares Story Length, Confirm Gameplay Details - TwistedVoxel TWISTEDVOXEL.COM S-GAME, the developer behind third-person action role-playing game Phantom Blade Zero, has shared the length of the game's main story along with details regarding the gameplay. During a Q&A session that took place on Discord, the Phantom Blade Zero developer, S-GAME, shared information regarding the length of the game's main story as well as new details regarding the gameplay. With regards to Quote S-GAME, the developer behind third-person action role-playing game Phantom Blade Zero, has shared the length of the game’s main story along with details regarding the gameplay. During a Q&A session that took place on Discord, the Phantom Blade Zero developer, S-GAME, shared information regarding the length of the game’s main story as well as new details regarding the gameplay. With regards to the length of Phantom Blade Zero’s main story, the developer stated that it should take approximately 30 to 40 hours to complete. Additionally, there are several side quests to take on as well as a wealth of endgame content that will unlock upon the completion of the main story, including various multiplayer dungeons, a boss rush mode, rogue-like abysses, and more. Quote In response to a question regarding the authenticity of the gameplay shown in the PlayStation Showcase trailer, the developer stated that the action sequences seen in the trailer feature actual combat captured in-engine. However, for the purpose of the trailer, the studio used a more “cinematic” camera and specifically set certain angles. The developer said that, in the actual game, the combat will have a more stable camera with a larger Field of View. The action will look much clearer, although less impactful compared to the trailer in order to avoid causing dizziness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol why did they choose 40 hours to complete the main story, that is way too long and they probably only have like 2 minutes of gameplay built out so far. So it was 2-3 people working on it like a year ago - this is definitely very unlikely to be a real thing you play, unless it’s some kind of “demo game” like Bright Memory.
