![New Prosthetic Weapons for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice [Art Competition]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/m68K1bupM9Q/mqdefault.jpg)
Inbf. the sword on our back is secretly the Moonlight Blade.
that would be amazing! it even makes sense as gameplay design, you got a steel weapon for humans and a magic one for demons (witcher reference not intended )
"Aah, you were at my side, all along.
My true mentor...
My guiding moonlight..."
YES
Dragonbasty Oh god I hope so.
Hey, it's someone with a profile gif. And you still can't see it anywhere except in the notifications...
In Miyazaki We Trust
In the firekeeper I thrust ...
Well , I trust as well but , heh ...
The game looks sick, but I still want an RPG
If there is a single lesson i've learned in all my years of dying, it's to literally never trust that sadist...
In Activision we don't.
@@glabben nor in EA
"Snaking ravine."
I see what you did there.
The second katana is made of moonlight crystal.
And the grapple upgrade will be a "get over here" definetely.
So I'm mostly sure that's actually a nodachi/otachi, as samurai did historically wear those on their backs sometimes, and it's far too long to be considered a katana.
Tachi is a weapon similar to a katana (katana is a more recent version of the tachi) but unlike katana whose name translates roughly to "one move" (kata meaning move/routine) tachi translates to directly to "sword" and is the default label for non-japanese swords in the language.
The prefix o- or no- denotes "great, big, or powerful". So if the fancy backsword is indeed moonlight crystal...it would be a literal Moonlight Nodachi, a moonlight greatsword.
@@BloodyArchangelus
Well, historically most units did use polearms primarily, but swords in general were a common sidearm, both in Europe and Japan. In this case it's not terribly difficult to draw the parallel between European greatswords and the Japanese nodachi.
Also, if it is recorded in history and it isn't some legend-like anecdote, it isn't nearly as uncommon as you may think.
I think the grappling hook will be more like a "i go over there" since i seen people using it wit npcs and it works that way
@@luiscoll8220 maybe the upgrade can change that.
Players: "For Honor's combat has more depth! Nioh is way harder than Souls!"
FromSoft: hold my Estus Flask.
Blood Vial
Jan Aki Omitsu+ Grass
And both of those games a shitty as fuck
@@thatswhatsgood24 Unpopular opinion.
Haku Gen Nioh certainly has a lot more depth than any souls game
Please break the posture of my 👍 button
Yes daddy
PREPARE TO CRY REMASTERED WHEN
I feel educated.
._.
The ogre enemies look like lycanthropes from dark souls 3.
This game looks really fun, fast paced, offensive combat, stances and sick executions.
Thanks for showing us the details Vaati, it's really interesting.
Will they have a certain shiny sparkly weapon buff...
Even one for my grappling hook will do?
;_;
Your blade may not glow with the sun, but it will surely shine with it.
Oh look, it's Lightning Blade.
Aye, he's right... look who it is, shame i don't think they have anything as lame as cough cough a "Lightning blade"
@SunlightBlade
Yes
But just for you they'll name it Lightning Blade :))))))
SunlightBlade Yes I’m looking forward to seeing if Blessed Weapon, the best miracle weapon buff, will be present.
Sekiro just seems like an absolute breath of fresh air. The “Souls” ethos is absolutely still present, but this is still so incredibly fresh, interesting, and even a bit scary. But I just can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Bb2 ps5
I was worried about the 危 character at first, but now that I know it signals an unblockable, it just adds extra variety to combat
2:20 Look at that glorious ms paint
Warning system is like the unblock able symbol in For Honor, sure you know you can't block it but which option are you gonna use to avoid it? Risk a move to parry it or wait bc it could be a feint
mrdomomrdomo or, you could look at it from the flip side. Imagine if in for honor it didn’t tell you and attack was unblockable. It would be unfair difficulty and you’d have to get your ass beat multiple times to beat them rather then learn as you go. And that just interrupts the flow and doesn’t sound fun
Parry an unblockable attack?
YTormentor Y yes. "do it perfect or get smacked. no safety net"
YTormentor Y in for honor an unblockable you can only parry or dodge
@@silverdirtgamer3390 but this isn't For Honor
This game gives almost the same amount of hype that Cyberpunk for me.
Great SINGLE PLAYER games coming around! Can't wait!
Hell yeah dude
Almost. I'm certain I will love Sekiro, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a dream come true.
Same though. I actually posted a similar comment on the cyberpunk gameplay video. Its been awhile since I've been this hyped for a game......let alone two games at the same time!
what about devil may cry 5 and resident evil 2?
Yeah except Sekiro is actually third-person, as it should be. Fucking CDPR.
Sekiro prosthetics dlc confirmed for Battlefield 5
Okay, that wasn't half bad, Manny.
Is this supposed to be a joke? Cuz I believe it could happen.
At least sekiro is a male protagonist everyone knows women are only good for breeding
Except, since it's Activision we're talking about, it should be on CoD BO 4. But all in all, it's the same shit, so that's ok..
Lol! I'll buy Battlefield V when the black, Nazi, lesbian , wheelchair, DLC comes out.
I LOVE coming back to these types of videos long after the game's release and looking at these speculations and discussions with the context of actually knowing the answers. Souls trailer breakdowns, Monster Hunter monster announcements (especially when the English names haven't been announced, or even when the Japanese translation of the English name is)
Me too, that's why I like making them :)
I almost hate doing it because it makes me call people stupid for thinking that for some reason but I'm gonna make sure to come back to this
@@shquankinket8068 lol I do that all the time. Like, "how could you be so stupid thinking that", while I used to think the exact same thing.
Have they announced any pc optimization for low end pc specs? Btw nice job with the video Vaati, I mostly put you before I sleep cause your voice just sound pretty nice and it makes me sleep a lot faster and easier. XD
Nothing yet, but their recent games are running a bit better on pc than they used to
@JoaK Dark Souls 3 and Nioh run preatty decent with everything on low (30 fps is the cap). But i can't ask to much from my laptop with I5-7200 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM, SSD 240 gb and Nvidia GeForce 940MX can i? ;))
the activision prosthetic? reach into players pockets, and demand more for nothing
In the store, if you want to pre-order sekiro there is a note "additional in-game purchases"
Which was later stated to be included on the page as an accident and they even reassured us that there wouldn't be in-game purchases
PvP in this game would be absolutely amazing...
We can dream for DLC. Maybe Activision will be like "ermagerdwewantallthemoneydopvpdlcnow".
So would customisation
yeah you could make more videos of you invading people pointing down and saying "git gud casul" whilst playing stale memes over the gameplay
would be amazing if they're not using traditional Fromsoft net code lmao
I think there was mention of being able to invade as a kind of mini boss, they had the idea for Bloodborne but never did it, so maybe in this one.
How could anyone not be excited for this game!? It looks incredible!
Because some people have to hate everything :|
No RPG elements, which is half the appeal for Soulsborne.
@@user-ef6gv4wv1l So FromSoft should just crank out the same game over and over because you don't want to try new things? That's pathetic.
Theres still customization. And arguably, its combat is way more in-depth than any of the previous souls games
《 Grizznups 》+ Your reading comprehension is pathetic.
7:30 the duck at the beginning of the weapon art for the basic Katana DS3 is still one of my favorite ways to dodge horizontal swings
I'm very excited for this. The lack of customization or leveling up stats doesn't bother me either. There are so many times in the Souls or similar games (especially on first playthrough) where you can't shake the feeling you are doing something wrong or not leveling up the "right" way. In this, it seems you just focus on the action or stealth at hand, and mastering that.
Maybe the sword on his back is the Moonlight katana... 👌
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a detailed picture of the mechanics. Watching the game play is like watching a complex yet tightly-weaved tapestry. Damn, March cannot come fast enough!
Vaati is the Napoleon Hill of Soulsborne
Vaati: “The hitboxes in these games are getting really tight”
Chained Ogre Grab Attack: 👀👀👀
The way to deal with those is simple: just jump.
@@juniperrodley9843 and get teleported back down and into his hand
@@sapphic_sophie Yeah, no. The teleporting thing is only if you step dodge or just jump non-directionally for some reason. As soon as I started jumping away when a grab attack came, it became easy as hell to dodge his grabs. It was still a hard miniboss, but the grabs were no longer the problem.
@@juniperrodley9843 you’re kind of missing my original point, which was that the hit boxes in this game are really good for stabs and swords, but not great for grabs. It’s like DS2 and 3, which have kind of the same problem. I only brought up Ogre cause it’s a boss lots of people have memories struggling with.
Also, I was mostly joking. I love sekiro, I was just poking fun at it
@@sapphic_sophie Understandable
You were my prosthetic arm all along. My true mentor, my guiding moonlight.
The Moonlight blade iteration might be similar to the one in the AC series, since it's just like a small blade attached to your arm that shoots blade waves when you attack with it.
I really hope Activision is not going to ruin this game.
First, it was Konami, then EA, maybe Activision is next. Or Ubisoft.
ShanghaiWall they really have no say in the game. They’re only handling the release on the west
Nevertheless, it makes me concerned because major distribution company is involved, and it typically means troubles with rough deadlines, cut corners and appeal to casual gamers.
Eh, From would find a way around it. Activision really has no say in the game, and From Software is known for making very difficult (but fair), and being extremely detailed in their design. That isn't really something Activision could afford to sacrifice out of a FS game even if they had the say.
First of all, it is confirmed that From Soft has full control over their game and Activision is only handling the publishing in the west.
Also, Activision isn't that dumb. They're in it for the money and they know From Soft games sell well because of how they're made. They wouldn't interfere with a tried and true formula just to force appeal to casual gamers. Chill out.
i really admire your work, see how confident they were with you that u alredy see a third type of mini boss but they asked u to dont say what it was, so what u did?
u didnt say nothing
wonderful job and an awesome person
respect
On the danger warning, I don't think it's hand holding, rather it's a necessary tool. So far, in Bloodsouls, we only had 2 forms of avoiding damage: dodging (rolling or dashes) and parries. Parries are slow, and situational. Usually you only parry not on reflex but by predicting and preparing for an attack. Dodges are common, and after a while, when you memorize huge patterns you can dodge into whole combos without a problem. So, at the end, your brain doesn't need to decide between which button to press, it simply decides the direction of the dodge. If we were to make a process of how to avoid damage in Bloodsouls, it would be something like:
1. Predict the next move
2. Analyze the wind up
3. Decide whether to dodge or parry
3.a If parry, press the parry button at the right time
3.b If dodge, decide on the direction to dodge the attack
3.b.-2 Press the dodge button with the directional input
In Sekiro, we add several new layers of complexity to avoiding damage, on top of the game being maybe even faster than Bloodborne, and the process would look like:
1. Predict the next move
2. Analyze the wind up
3. Decide whether to dodge or parry
3.a If parry, press the block button at the right time
3.b If dodge, decide whether to move dash or jump
3.b-2 If dash, decide whether to perform a dash-parry move or simply dash away
3.b-2.a If dash-parry, perform the dash action towards the attacks at the right time
3.b-2.b If dash away, decide on the direction to dodge
3.b-2.b-2 Press the dash button and the directional input
3.b-3 If Jump, decide on whether to jump or use the hook
3.b-3.a If hook, find the spot and press the hook button
3.b-3.b If jump, press the jump button
Basically, in (3) we have a major divide between the player's choices, however, the player will, most of the time, be using the (3.a). This makes it very easy to fall into a misguided muscle memory and force the player into constant parrying, and limits their options. Thus, by putting a warning sign, you create a response in the player's brain that, if there is no sign, they go with (3.a), but if there is a sign, they go with (3.b). That allows the players to separate their options, and instead of being overwhelmed by a series of possible choices every attack, they get to only focus on those options that are beneficial at that moment. This is a more subtle and much more alternative to that game trope of slowing down time when you get a parry window - here, the actions follows as it should, but you get a warning that pulls your brain out of that "parry, parry, parry" mindset and allows you to explore a whole new array of options when needed, while not interrupting the "parry, parry, parry" mindset when you should be in it.
In other words, by removing the danger sign, you are limiting player choices and actually lowering the skill cap, not increasing it.
8:13 i like that execution really well done animation.
also damn 9:50 that snap
I know the game is really far away from release, but what about the DLC or even if there IS gonna be one?
If there's gonna be unlockable skills does that means there are gonna be skill trees?
Is there going to be a safe hub like in Bloodborne?
Are the white emblems you use for your prosthetic arm gonna be stored in a chest like in Bloodborne's storage chest?
Sorry if my questions are stupid I was just spit balling
MEME MASTER i think that if they‘re going to release a dlc then something like old hunters. except for new weapons or armor
I'd say yes to all, except I think the embelms might just stack infinitely, but maybe the Sculptor has a storage shed.
MEME MASTER most importantly, can you PRAISE THE SUN?
I hope the safe hub wasn't like Bloodborne, I'd rather it be in the game world
ThisisKyle it could be the place where he gets the prosthetics. Idk tho. It looks like we’ll be going to different locations. So maybe teleportation is gonna be a thing
I hope that if the Moonlight Greatsword turns into a prosthetic weapon that it’d be a charge-style attack. The longer you hold down the button, the more powerful and larger the attack will become. I can see your character raising their arm into the air, gathering power, and unleashing a vertical beam of moonlight in front of them.
7:51 To answer as Proximo: "I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom."
"I'm not supposed to talk about the optional opponent," later talks about a headless opponent. This is why I love Vaati, lol
I remember asking you about customization depth, so thank you very much for the comprehensive answer
man im *superhyped* this game is already looking like a masterpiece.
edit: added * *
Ashina clan Definitely getting invaded by the giants from ds2
Already pre-ordered.
I'm thinking the sword in his back is gonna have "pale blue moonlight dancing around the blade".
Why some people are commenting before even watching the video?
Adam Ny II because it‘s vasti and they know it willbe good
Love how he was hovering above the branch in the opening shot... They'll have to work on that.
If this game is for PS4 as well, I'm getting it. I've been having Onimusha, Ninja Gaiden and Genji withdrawal symptoms for far too long
Great video as always Daddy Vaati! :)
Personally I think the break bars should be moved closer to each other. Even though I don't really know how that could and would work, I have an idea!
What if your health is on the top-left, your own break bar top-center-left, enemy break bar top-center-right and the enemy health bar top-right? On top of that, they could be visually made a bit more distinguishable and you kinda get a feel, as if it was a fighting game as well. The main reason for that is the visual input. In a fast paced action game like this, you can't waste time scooting over the screen with your eyes, milliseconds can be crucial. And putting all those things at the top rather than part top, part bottom, makes you more aware of your enemy, as you are always watching what is in front, or partially "above" your character (from the players perspective), so I think that is a good idea.
For the items and prosthetic skills, they could just stay at the bottom right or even move left, as that's what we're used to from the souls series so far.
We all know the "secret" enemy is the giant snake from the trailer. We saw it in the trailer, and in the demo, there's a tree with it's skin hanging off from shedding.
The one thing I have wanted in dark souls is more complex combat system so I am so excited for this
"I accidentally a 22 minute video." lol
i loved it when you went full anime-mode and stood on that guy's spear, Sekiro hype intensifies!
just hearing about defensive options, evasive options, traversal, the prosthetics, and especially the deflect... oh boi I cannot wait to see what the speedrunners do with this game
Restoring posture reminds of restore Ki with Ki pulses or timed attacks, weapon switches and dodges in Nioh. Ki being stamina in a way.
The good thing about the danger symbo is that isn't like say arkham style combat games where you just auto hit counter to get a hit
I can already feel bad panic heal puns coming along... "Oh my gourd! Heal! HEAL!!"
Man I've recently join your sub family, and i throughly enjoy your content. KEEP IT UP
They could name the sword on the character's back Tsukiakari (translating to moonlight) and BOOM this time had the Moonlight "Greatsword" all along~!
Notification squad rejoice!
Whatever happenend at 5:40 it looked absolutely beautiful and badass
Greetings Friends
Greetings
hello
Ready to try the new combat system. It looks great! I really love the direction of this, and how your combat style can be changed.
I also hope there will be some news on Deracine (the VR game).
does the game use the same engine as dark souls 3 ?
Shiramaro looks like it
Shiramaro I think it’s bloodborne engine
And Bloodborne engine is dark souls 3 engine so the game is using the same engine but it looks like a new version.
Excelent video dude! By far the most informative video out. Really hyped about the upgrades and ounter and the 2nd katana. Cant wait for March.
How goes the PTC Remaster?
Absolutely loving the sekiro coverage!
I'm all for a new Tenchu game. That's pretty much how I'm seeing this. Thanks Vaati.
This game looks awesome in slomo. I'd love to see a close shaves and brutal combat compilation in slomo.
That horizontal slash reminds me of Orochi's zone attack in For Honor.
I was skeptical about the character customization stuff because I'm a sucker for character customization, but watching this made me had an epiphany: Having a predefined character would allow Fromsoft to have a more character-driven story than just "you are in a world, it is miserable, enjoy".
We finally find out what secret enemy Vaati got to face...
A very big snake
I wasn't sure when it was unveiled, but now I'm hyped AF
14:38 What a boss, ty for the video.
March couldn't take more time to get here.
Doesn't look like my cup of tea sadly, looks really cool for people that are into games like this though.
The Souls games are the only action rpgs that I've ever really liked
Aren't you gonna try it out though?
Probably, it will be quite a while after release after the price has dropped though
that's too bad.
"The headless enemy", the special enemy is some kind of headless youkai, looks nice.
im so sad this is a PS exclusive, and I dont own a PS4
Lol it's for ps4 pc and Xbox one dude, it even was announced at Microsofts conference
Oh, well im happy to be corrected xD thanks for letting me know, havnt been keeping up to date with the news unfortunately
@@xNanukax You never played Bloodborne then? Fuck dude. I'm here and I've never touched Dark Souls. Mistakes were made by many men today lol
yeah never played bloodborne, i think thats where i thought this one was PS4 exclusive as well, I remember hearing that after dark souls finished it was all going to be PS4 exclusive
this demo itself was played on xbox, he even mentioned the up of d-pad of xbox is difficult to use as healing
While it’s completely coincidental that seriko and dmc have quite an extensive use of prosthetics (each unique in its execution), I suspect industry will take note and start adding it in all their games, the same way the arrow was used in many games some time back.
Weren't you going to upload a prepare to cry as your next vid :O Or is the sekiro hype toom real at the moment ?
Topnotch breakdown, Vaati. Looking forward to the videos that follow TGS.
i really like how the executions don't really move the camera all that much, I hate when games always have those flashy "finishing moves" that just completely interrupt the flow of combat
from the first trailer i was rooting for tenchu, and the more footage i see the more tenchu filing i get. if this theory is right we're getting armor change on ng+
Wait so everyone says they can't talk about the enemy in that ravine but surely it's the snake from the trailer? If so, nice little nod at the start of the vid vaati ;)
The health bars should be right above the posture bars in the middle of the screen imo
prostetic that slings out farie dust like the flame arm some how (not exactly ) and can coat your blade in the dust to make it like the mlgs!
dark souls and blood borne: no jumping
sekiro: all about jumping
God, can't wait for this and Code Vein, gonna be a great time to play more Souls-like games
Does anyone else get reminded of Andre from dark souls when the ogre does that slide kick thing?
Can you imagine how amazing PvP would be in this game? Sad that it'll only ever be a dream. Still can't wait, the game looks absolutely fantastic.
I feel like this is more of a Shinobido spiritual successor than Tenchu.
9:32 that hitbox...
2:25 hey, it s geoff
I hope they will implement so pvp in the game, not in form of invasions, but just a pvp only mode. That would be interesting, that is providing there wont be connectivity issues, like in dark souls, when you get hit even though seemingly you are far enough from the oponnent.
That neck snap is so satisfying
I really am wishing that this game had online PVP because this combat system seems a lot deeper than any soulslike game before it
You jump over the enemie because it looks badass
I hope there is a public demo
Whoa whoa whoa! Hitboxes that aren't garbage? It's like a message from an angel! That in of itself is a huge step-up for this company. Must've outsourced that.
I bet Moonlight Greatsword will be a buff or a katara-like prosthetic weapon.
This is the only game i'll pre-order. From Software Games hold a special place in my heart
This releases on my birthday. Thanks From Soft!
Cant wait for this game man with hanzo with mcrees arm and genjis blade
Great info...Suspect this is one of those Souls Games that I'll love to watch you and others play, but trying it myself would just totally frustrate me!
how much of a variety are we going to see in enemies, are we going to run into some Oni's, Tenyu-Enu's or any mythological/ folk-lorish enemies
So you want the Health and Posture to be displayed kind of like how Nioh did it where it was two bars that appeared above the enemy
In terms of the UI do you think, having played the game, it is necessary to have the enemies health take up the top left of the screen? Would the traditional approach of having it just appear above their heads not suffice? Similarly with their posture and indeed the players could it not just slot in where stamina would be. I loved everything I've seen so far but personally feel the less cluttered the screen is by UI the better.
That giant serpent is the new Patches
I really appreciate your passion for these games and i can hear you talk about em all day. Did you get chance to know how we upgrade weapon? like rock or chunk from BB, i love BB alot and its world felt better than DS to me and its faced paced action, i cant wait for sekiro
