Tell me about it. I don't exactly want this game to have giant subway ads, but if it gets from enough money to make another Armored Core I'll live with it.
Are any of the streamers that got invited known for doing deep dives into gameplay intricacies?
Depends on how meaty the MonHun expansion is haha, but yeah, Sekiro will be ace.
What if it's a dramatic duel with a wooden bridge? It is From we're talking about.
It's my favorite - it perfectly encapsulates what an OT title should do - reference a game's aesthetics while also being a witty pun on the genre or an entertainment wink/nod/nudge reference.

Agreed! Their concept artists and designers are incredible. The way theyre able to bring a unique 2D design to life in a 3D game world is unmatched in the industry. Can't wait till wedneday. I must see just a bit more.

Hey, why not. A grotesque looking bridge, though.
Player: Oh look - is that the silhouette of a badass samurai wreathed in mountain mist upon a wooden bridge? Am I about to have the duel of my life?!
FROM: Nnnnnope.
The mist is created by the bridge to hide in; the samurai is nothing more than a weird horn on the bridge's back to attract prey; and the bridge itself is actually a monstrous and mournful centipede clad in wooden armour that pretends to be a bridge.
Yeap,the art direction in the souls games is amazing. Won't be any different here and I'm glad they are only showing one area of the game. Although this might hurt the WOW factor for newcomers,old fans will enjoy the game even more
so hyped for this game! Bloodborne was my first From game and is one of my favourite games of all time along with MGS3 and RE4. Sekiro has got me so gasssssseddddd!
Only game I'll buy this year and went full spoiler blind. There's only one thing I must know : the environment felt really samey in the first reveal. Have we seen different settings ? (without linking me a spoiler video, of course).

We really haven't seen much that looks distinctly different from the areas shown in the reveal trailer. Just some interiors and a very brief shot of a greener wooded area.
I just need to know if there's a performance mode on the enhanced consoles (specifically Xbox One X) 😩
I really wonder what's stopping players from beating minibosses by using a sneak attack, then hiding, and then doing it again. Maybe they're given increased awareness after the initial stealth execution?
possibly,otherwise the notorious FROM with it's challenging games would be super cheesed
Probably nothing. But is that really how someone would want to play the game?
And that would never work against bosses so there's that as well.
That second video does a good job at explaining how the gameplay really differs from the likes of Souls and Bloodborne

Yeah ENB's breakdowns really sold me on the game, he does a really good job of breaking down the details. This is not a button mash friendly game to say the least.
Planning on getting this for PC as I am wary of HUD burn-in on my OLED.
What quality PC port should I be expecting? Haven't played any of the Souls games on PC.

PC versions of souls games are the best and around 40% of the community is there, not that it matters for Sekiro.
I would say pretty good. Everything that we saw from the game so far, I believe has been only PC.
This footage is ps4 pro though I have no idea what the framerate is.

They have been demoing the game in Japan on PS4 pro's but unfortunately it's the same 7 month old build from Gamescom. Impressions from that demo has been mixed on consoles from "it feels very smooth on PRO" to "it dips a bit when there's a lot going on".
This kinda sounds like it's the Hirata Estates? Thankfully. Maybe we'll get to see the Lady Butterfly fight in its entirety and other stuff the GI coverage talked about but didn't show.

Really hoping for a HUD auto hide option ala DS1 Remastered
The umbrella shield from the reveal trailer reminds me of the umbrella weapons from Shadow (new movie from the director of Hero)
Do we know if there will be more prosthetics beside the flame one, shuriken, axe, spear, and umbrella?
Also, I got to reiterate how amazing the combat looks. As much I loved Bloodborne's combat, the blow-for-blow blade-locking intimacy of the fighting looks so satisfying. It captures that essence of samurai film combat but through From's lens.

Looks like unlocked frame just like the DS3 pro upgrade. I expect the same here

Is the great serpent a boss now?

Wouldn't be surprised if there's a way to kill it or make it go away so you can explore the area freely

Oh for sure. Maybe not as many as the absurd amount of weapons in DS3 but From isn't afraid to be super creative with that type of stuff.
I'm sure it'll be like Red/Blue Dragon from Demon's Souls, a hazard boss that you can kill with enough time/resources, but not something really meant to be "fought."
Then again, the Great Ape and Great Centipede seem to be traditional bosses, so who knows.
Also, sliding skill confirmed?
