Wow, thumbs up for remembering that game!

Great classic.

Imalwaysright2896d ago

Are you talking about Blood will tell? I'll be damned if it isn't the most underrated game ever made.

ApocalypseShadow2896d ago

Thumbs up for Dororo/Blood Will Tell.

Still got that game on PS2. Would love a remaster of that. Or sequel.

starchild2896d ago

Good taste, guys. That game was
awesome.

I feel that with games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Nioh 2, Aragami: Nightfall and Ghost of Tsushima we are seeing a kind of revival of those Japanese themed games that were much more common in the PS2 days.

Obscure_Observer2895d ago

Dororo was awesome! I would love a sequel to play with her as an all grown up woman.

Smokehouse2896d ago

Nope. We will get our stat based rpg stuff in Nioh. This is just a straight up action game which is awesome.

I will be playing all three of the announced feudal Japan games and I’m glad they are all different lol.

IamTylerDurden12893d ago

So Sekiro is DMC? II know it's more action oriented, but it's not DMC. The action in Nioh is much faster than Souls but it's still a Souls game.

Smokehouse2893d ago

Nioh is an rpg, you add points into slots to make a character a certain way. If you point dump into the heart category you will be a beast at swords for example. There are many systems and classes involved. Same with the souls games.

In your standard action game you level up with points but there is only one class one path. In far cry you are probably going to unlock every ability, it’s not a branching path sort of deal. Like god of war you are given some play with armors and abilities but you are going to use an axe, that’s just how it is. Basically it’s an action game with rpg elements instead of an RPG with action elements. There is a big difference imo. I’m trying to think of an action game with a grappling hook in the combat but I’m drawing blank, there are many though.

Japanese game with a sword. I see your point. Definitely exactly like Nioh.

Tapani2896d ago

Yeah, like a western game with a gun! All the same! ;P

IamTylerDurden12893d ago

Nioh is a Samurai game that resembles a From Soft title. Sekiro is a Samurai (Ninja) game by From Soft.

Nioh has a ready made protagonist as opposed to creating your own. Sekiro is exactly the same way.

The aesthetic is very similar, both will likely feature high difficulty levels.

Both are 3rd person hack n slash games with rpg elements in an old lore Japanese setting with ready made male Samurai (Ninja) protagonists featuring fast brutal sword play and combat.

Segata2896d ago

Not in aesthetics but if anything this is closer to Otogi with maybe some Tenchu thrown in but still not either one of those.

Dragonscale2896d ago

So every Japanese based ninja game is now trying to be Nioh? Its Fromsoft for starters and apart from the setting doesn't look anything like Nioh tbh.

IamTylerDurden12893d ago

Nioh is a Souls style Samurai game. Nioh resembles a From game but in a Japanese setting. Sekiro is literally a Samurai game by From Soft. It's much more than just "the Japanese setting".

Dragonscale2893d ago

@Tyler, sorry not convinced. The similarities pretty much end with the setting, tbh Sekiro looks more like a ninja game. The main protagonist is nothing like William, the combat looks different to nioh. The level traversal looks more involved, the enemies look different. Graphically nioh wasn't the best and the levels were very samey with not much enemy variety. Also does that mean Ghost of Tsushima is basically nioh as well then? Somehow I don't you'll agree with that though.

“Another difference is that in Dark Souls games you choose a class. In Sekiro there is one class, and that’s ninja. There is no more stat system, and the game is based on something different that the developer isn’t ready to detail in depth.“

I love it, actually.

30fps sucks. Especially on an OLED.
