I have actually always thought a system like the posture here would be perfect for a jedi game. You shouldn’t tank a lightsaber swipe with your healthbar. You block, dodge or you die. This looks so sick, the fights look like hectic dances
I’ve never been interested in any of the souls – born games but after seeing this I think I might give it a try.
How much like Techu is this game it looks a lot like Tenchu with better sword play and i am loving that idea
Reminds me of tenchu and Nioh. Am I getting this? Bloody right I am!
Can’t wait to finally play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the deflect system looks WAY more realistic than Dark Souls´ invulnerability dodge rolls! always felt like a cheap technique..
Looks like Witcher 3 combat with minor but effective additions
Reminds me a little of tenchu on ps1. The stealth kill from sneaking up to the enemy on this game is just one animation gets boring after a while.
Will this be 4K on PS4 Pro ?
What is wrong with you people, I just got Devil May Cry 5 and now I’ll have to get this too! Nice video Nathan.
Makes me want to play Tenchu!.. can’t wait to play this!
The game hasn’t even come out yet so why are you ruining and spiking footage for everyone ?
How about you keep it hush hush until the game is out
The AC game we’ve been begging for
I wish it wasn’t Japanese lore.
I haven’t been excited about a game in a long time. This reminds me so much of Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven. I hope Sekiro has secret combos like Tenchu did.
Best video about Sekiro
I how DMC5 is lookin but This game looks more worth it long term.
No thank you.
Should be noted that when you do the stomp attack all of your posture is recovered instantly and it does more posture damage to your oponent than any other single attack can manage
I’ve seen quite few people saying they’ve been playing a Souls game to prepare for this arriving, but that’s the worst thing to do. You’ll spend ages re-wiring your brain and muscle-memory because, despite the similarities, this is a very different game from any of them, including Bloodborne.
This is getting abit old now, the core gameplay is literally the same as Demons souls, Dark souls, Dark souls 2, Dark souls 3 & Bloodborne, you’re just a ninja now.
I wasn’t hyped until I watched this video, and now I can hardly wait until the 22nd.
Also, that was awesome gameplay!
Nath, will you be streaming this when it comes out? Also, can’t wait to see you cover Ni Oh 2 with gameplay videos.
Remastered tenchu stealth assassin
Tenchu and Bloodborne are 2 of my favourite games ever. So excited to play this.
Essential combat tips for beginners
Play Soulsborne first
Reminds me of tenchu.
Damn this game is really making me miss Tenchu…. Take my money!!!
Nice vid will probably buy this game now.
Playing DS3 right now just to get a feel of how different this game feels when it comes out.
Man, there’s so much Tenchu shining through to this game i kinda wished they did a sequel for BloodBorne and made Sekiro the Tenchu game it started out as. Hearing that this game is even harder than the Soulsbornes before it makes me want to not even bother with it..(oh who am i kidding, I’ll pick this up day one probably)
Sound is so low i barely can hear on max!
What button do you press to parry on ps4?
OK. after watching this, i became a sure taker of this game.
SO MUCH TENCHU IN SEKIRO BUT MUCH IMPROVED!
Nathan has a really calm voice. Also really detailed breakdown. Increased my interest in the game
The hype for this game… Off the scale!
people act like tenchu senran never existed and wasn’t developed by from software
Really glad there is a hefty amount of stealth. I’m glad they’ve managed to create a spiritual successor to tenchu without forcing it to be tenchu and whilst keeping it a great FromSoftware action game
What about the big sword on his back if its used only for executions I will be a bit disappointed
I’ve plat’d dark souls 3 and have about 4 level 155 missions left on nioh, then I’ll try this. I can’t imagine it being harder than the last few multiple boss missions in nioh.
I can’t wait to master the combat in this game. It’s going to look, sound, and feel so cool.
I want to see Rob playing this on day 1 and getting furious.
If there aren’t videos of Rob whinging about how it’s too difficult on release day, I’ll be salty.
