FFXVI looks like a complete sausage fest :/

eh, whatever, looks like Action combat and no romance, so a hard pass from me, like FF15.

I don't know if I'd say bad, but it's definitely wayyyy too bright and colorful. Completely fucks up the oppressive aesthetic/atmosphere.
It's not just the design changes, the hitfeedback was also barely there, where as the OG DeS and DaS are ultra crunchy in their sound, which give them such a satisfying feel.

FFXVI looks okay and I can buy the premise but... I'm so damn tired of them recycling ideas. There's a bit of XIII versus and all the other FFs in there, to the point where even FFXIV feels original by comparison. I'm really, really waiting for Square to find some creativity in themselves again. The only thing I kind of enjoyed about it was the spectacle and the player character's position.

The hogwarts game though? I'm all over that. In particular, I'm amazed at their VFX and mesh animation system, from the way blocks ripples on a wall to how they morph from one to the other, that's very, very impressive.

You know what Demons' Souls really needed? HUFF HUFF GRUNT GRUNT PANT PANT noises every time you take 3 steps or hit something. Also Vanguard not oneshotting the player like in the original, need to make the game more palatable for Sony's new audience I guess. Christ.

Yeah, that gameplay definitely felt off to me, I just couldn't quite put my finger on why. And if they fucked up the visuals so badly then it kinda makes you wonder what else they might have fucked up...

To be honest something felt weird in that Demons Souls gameplay but I can't put my finger on it.
Also no way God of War is 2021, I would love to be wrong as that is one of my best games but nah, thats more like when we will see first footage.
Horizon will most likely be the Christmas game of next year.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha this is hilarious. Not going to buy this trash if it's actually coming to PC but this is going to be good fuel for the ol' consolewar shitshow I guess.

Holy shit it's real, it's on the official Demon's Souls gameplay announcement trailer. This is surreal. Demon's Souls bros we're coming home.

Demon's Souls lack feedback, but looks much faster and less clunky, I'm all for it.
FFXVI looks fantastic, if visually quite weak.

I like those two games, don't really care much about the rest.
Now get them out on PC fast or I will have all the time to wait.

Demon Souls remake gameplay looks waaaay too different from the original. Way too up close and easy mode looking.

I guess its fine since they are remaking it but I wasn't expecting such a simple run through that tutorial area. It looked very western. Its their vision so wtvr but I am not too excited for it meh. I'm trying to remember if those enemies are one shottable like that but I can't. Maybe they are doing NG+ but either way I'm not too happy with what I saw.

That DeS gameplay has to be bullshit. It's way too cinematic and, like or hate it (like I do), movement doesn't have that slight off-center behavior of the character relative to the camera. No character flinch on blocking either. The camera also appears to be way too close. Everything dies in one hit, it's just... Well it feels like the early 2010's Ubisoft presentations.

Environments are nice though!

I mean "not available on other consoles for a limited time". The hell does that mean. Must be a mistake.
Yeah the part about other consoles makes me think this was someone fucking up. No way this is coming to Xbox or Switch lol.

I assume the reason everything looked easy in the Demon's Trailer is that IT WAS A TRAILER and having the dude strafe around and parry for 6min wouldn't be exciting to watch silly gooses.

I didnt watch the stream but watching the list of ‘announcements’ I’m only interested in FFXVI, everything else are remasters of old games.

Yeah the Demon's Souls gameplay looks casual as hell, but it is a trailer to get the lowest common denominator interested in the game. I'm sure the actual combat won't be so bad...right?

That's a good point but as you can see from our reactions, it sends quite the wrong message. Besides, there were more things wrong than just the difficulty.

But hey, I'm not complaining too much. Environments looked rather nice - even though I know a side-by-side comparison with the original will make me despair - and this is one more game for people who like that sort of thing on PC.
