I'm a bit worried that Kena Bridge of Spirits will disappoint alot of gamers

That's fair (thanks for answering :)).
And I didn't even realize the similarity with the staff, good point!
if the game is indeed right around the corner, then yeah i feel like we should see a lot more of it
I don't think it is a good comparison.
The complained about Cuphead wasn't about the scope but the genre. Boss rush is very niche and people wants it to be a platformer. Add to the fact it is a difficult game.
Here, we know Kena take it's inspiration from old Zelda 3D games.
And I don't think Kena is supposed to be a $60 title.
We had a poll back in November when next-gen hype was at full force. Kena is currently in 24th place with 20 glorious votes!!1!!! 🔥
Oh no no, it wasn't all prerendered, there was clearly gameplay in the mix, but a lot of those who found the game extremely impressive then proceeded to post grabs of the prerendered parts as proof.
I loved the look of Kena when it was first revealed. But OP, you have to admit this was a backfire on disastrous proportions. You tried to crap on a smaller game, one that already has a fair share of controversy and drama surrounding it, only for most responses to respond with...
I can attest to at least myself personally that I've been hyping it up as my game of the year for 2021 since it was first ever shown last summer. Have made dozens of posts on era and Twitter over months referring to it as my most anticipated game and such. I'll also be making the Kena OT and have essentially had it ready for months. While not massive there's a sizeable chunk of PS Era members who are hyped for the game even if not quite to the same level as myself. The hype does very much exist but it's not as wide spread.
Can I be pointed to fellow Kena stans? ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
It feels like all the hype from that presentation was consumed by a God of War game we have seen absolutely nothing from yet.
You mean those who are impressed by the art direction proceeded to post the cut-scenes with impressive art direction?
Personally I haven't seen enough to have an opinion yet about the gameplay itself, but the art direction is incredibly impressive in everything that was shown so far, regardless of whether it's from a cut-scene or gameplay footage.

Expect me in the OT whenever it's made.
Nah. Games are $70 now, so of course it won't be $60!

On topic, I would say I'm interested in the title, I've got it on my PSN wishlist. I don't know if I'd say I'm hyped for it, though.
I've never heard of it but thanks to this thread if it doesn't cost me $80 Canadian Dollars and last me until COVID ends...
If it doesn't cost me $269 Canadian Dollars for the ultra-limited deluxe figurine Definitive X S version (incl. all 59 costume packs and 19 quest addons)...
If it doesn't have Uncharted 4-level facial pores, Red Dead Redemption 2-level snow footprints, a 900-hour postgame, fully functional co-op and competitive modes, New Game+, New Game++, New Game+++, a huge amount of replayability and customization, 65 meaningful alternate endings, six post-credits scenes, a confirmed sequel, a novelization, six obscure handheld spinoff games that are definitely important to the story, and remappable controls,
I will be so, so disappointed in this game.

The only expectation I have of this game is that it will look gorgeous, and honetly, that's enough for the price of entry as long as it's not a steaming pile of shit otherwise. If I was a betting man I would put money on it being quite unremarkable in the gameplay department, but I hope I'm surprised.
Not the art direction, no problem with that obviously. A lot of people seemed to think the cutscenes were what the game looked like and went on to praise the amount of geometry etc.
It's in the old thread.

haha I didnt try to crap on this game, I was just sharing my observations. I actually expected a response like this, because people tend to get defensive when you don't share the same positive outlook on a game that they are excited about, hardly disastrous though :)
Naw my friend, you dont get to hone in on my response and then peace out.
I have my concerns about the game, as I alluded to in my post about the controversy surrounding it. (Pssst, look into the potential abuses of staff if you want to pluck at a thread with this game.) So I'm not the rabid fanboy you are looking for.
What is clear is that your hot take didn't take off or sink, it just floats there, with most responses being "What is Kena?" Because you made a thread about a game that serves a pretty niche audience, while saying it looks overrated compared to AAA titles.
There are quite a few in the PlayStation Community OT
https://www.resetera.com/threads/playstation-studios-ot17-good-vibrations.355570/
One of my good friends Knight is also a huge Kena stan like myself too.
I plan to post the OT 3 days before the game releases! Just need a confirmed release date.
Eh being interested in an upcoming game =/= overhyping it. People are mentioning it with those other games because they were all announced at the same time and they are the most notable PS5 games that we know of.
It's like when people mentioned demons souls, Spider-Man and bugsnax together. I don't think anyone thought bugsnax was going to be as good as demons souls or spiderman, but they were announced at the same time and launched at the same time so they were talked about at the same time

But you made this thread because people on Twitter were excited for this game and didn't share your outlook for your console of choice.
So it seems like this thread came from being defensive too.
I'm hyped too, Queen. I'm hyped too. And I'm counting you with that OT.
You can add me to your list! Not that I don't recognize that there's a lot we don't know about the game, of course. It's not like I've pre-ordered it on the basis of one brief trailer. What I did see, however, was enough to sell me on the charm factor and make it one of my top games to watch for more information.
For my gaming dollar, it already beats the heck out of the endless parade of interchangeable zombie shooting festivals that were unveiled at TGA last year. Give me something with a little heart any day. I get enough bleak, mindless carnage just trying to keep up with the news cycle at the moment.
I'll do my absolute best!
This game is a Day One for me since the announcement :)
Looked amazing in the reveal but no footage or any other info this close to launch has me leaning on waiting for it's inevitable PS+ listing before trying it out.
Haha, they wouldn't slap a $70 tag on a new game.
*Looks at Godfall price*
They might do that
*Looks at Returnal price*
They will do that
Why are you even worried if it'll disappoint people who will buy it. People are allowed to have different tastes than yours ya know. You think the gameplay looks "a bit average" and it's a 30fps crossgen game (ok? Lol), and the animation looks choppy...You must've seen the final build to reach these conclusions.
