Like what games specifically? I don't know where you're seeing all these "white/westernized" Asians.
The only one that comes to mind is Nioh, even though it was based on Adam Williams.


On a side note, really looking forward to all the outfits Jin can wear. We've seen traditional samurai armor, ninja (ghost) armor, from concept art traditional samurai robes, and now the straw raincoat.

They seem to take care into honoring Japaese traditions so its nice to see realistic representations of Japanese attire for once in a video game.

According to the leaked info, the game recommends Samurai by day and Ghost by night. Apparently, stealth and assassinations are part of the Ghost play style where you become a deadly, sneaky stealth assassin using shuriken and fire bombs at the cost of being squishy.

I can't wait to see how that looks.
Yes, this is shaping up to be my dream game. Just add rpg element like equipments and skills and i'm down

It has two skill trees (read the leaked info in the OP dawg)

Way of the Samurai and Way of the Ghost. The former is fully unlocked because you start the game as a bonafide badass Samurai, but throughout the journey you learn the Way of the Ghost, which is a lot like a Ninja.

Sorry, my bad :) I thought this was the previous thread about GoT.

Edit: It's amazing how all the things I wanted to be in the game is in the leaked info, get out of my head SP.

Day 1. I love everything about this game. And it looks so stylish.
Now it all depends on how interesting the quests and game world are.

So in for this. Love the idea of balancing two sides of the coin, honourable samurai and dishonourable ninja, and switching between them depending on the job.

They nailed down the look and feel. Its stunning, but no release date was a let down

I need to see more footage of this before i make my mind up. What i saw at e3, although graphically looked amazing, looked pretty dull and unoriginal too. The gameplay of Sekiro looked much more fun than this

SP should really release the new trailer with Japanese dub

What's weird is they PlayStation JP channel on YouTube normally posts the JP dubbed versions but they've yet to upload the gameplay demo in either language. I've got my eye on it in case they finally do bother to.

yooooooooooooooooo, that stuff on the kits and skills. this is good .
The leak info hasn't been confirmed as real btw. I mean it would be awesome if it's true. And feels like it make sense and fit with what Sucker Punch talk about. But we don't know if it's real or not.

There are inconsistencies here and there. Like the leak say you can change time of day by going to base so you can decide whether you want to play mission during day or night.

But the demo said day 9 of Mongol invasion, giving me impresion that time of day is fixed according to your mission.

Sucker Punch also mention that Jin change armor to Mino with strawhat in rainy area, implying that the armor changes is due to location while the leak said you can freely mixing armor kit. Etc

The "leak" sort of reads like a fan wish list. I wouldn't be surprised if some troll on 4chan is laughing pretty hard right now.

How is that an inconsistency? You don't visit a town, village or outpost in the gameplay demo.

It described the E3 demo accurately and we even saw the grappling hook and the NPC bowing to Jin as he walked by. It also was 100% spot on about stance changing and limb dismemberment.

It's legit.

At first I thought the leak was debunked by Jin being able to climb in his samurai gear - but then I read the leak and it explicitly said "full samurai gear"

It's not proven per say, but at the moment it's not debunked either - and has valid aspects that could potentially be mere guesses, but is not 'generic' enough like "you gain EXP and there are side-quest."

They uploaded Death Stranding demo couple of hours ago so I would assume Ghost will be uploaded soon enough too.

Its easily explainable though.
Day 9 can simply be a starting point of a specific chapter and not the game keeping tabs of your ingame days.
Chapter 2 could start at day 5p and not require you to actually spend 50 days like way of samurai

It's "realistic" but Jin and other main characters speak in English with American accents.
Why do they have to ruin shit ?

Edit : I'm an idiot and can't read.
Great news!

I am so hyped for this. It looks incredible and story-driven. Gorgeous world and fascinating premise. Dual audio means I'm playing this game in Japanese.

Changing armor or outfits is likely a choice made by the player and not Jin, they just want to keep the mechanic (and many others) a secret for now.

It would be stupid to be limited and forced to change to a specific outfit for different regions, especially in an open world game with no apparent load times when roaming.

Everything is good except the grounded part for me. I really hoped for some supernatural aspects. Anyway, no big deal.

Did they say if you can go from a samurai to a ninja? I thought the first trailer gave a hint about that at the end. Then why he is called ghost then if he didn't become a silent Ninja?

You have Nioh 2 and Shadows Die Twice for your super natural itch, I am glad that they are not going the usual path.

Were people really expecting this game to not have japanese dub? Even God of War has japanese dub ffs.

The details are all sounding really good, but tell us somsomething about the combat. That was the most underwhelming part of the demo. It didn't look that difficult or deep.
Yeah, I want all the goons attacking Jin at once, not waiting for turns. That alone would make it more difficult.

You should never judge difficulty from a HUDless E3 demo however. That one hit he took could have been half his HP but you can't tell.

Same for deep combat, with no HUD or tutorial, how could one tell the mechanics?

There will be plenty more to show, including ranged combat and more stealth mechanics.

Looks really good I just hope that some of the transition animations get smoothed out before release.
