This looks awful

>>335705559
I've been telling you it would be shit ever since the reveal trailer but nobody listened.
>>335705559
don't forget:
>procedurally generated maps
>>335705559
Well this is just embarassing
Who the fuck thinks up this hpbars+damage numbers will make people happy?
They are literally useless numbers, they don't even have hp NUMBERS, just bars
>>335705803
Well I'm definitely convinced now.
>stupid animation every time you leap on a ledge
>>335705843
For real? Source?
>>335705843
>>335705915
The pro-gen stuff is side area, for grinding for loot. Not in the main story content.
>>335705915
>For real? Source?
the devs since the fucking first revelation gameplay videos. Stop being a slowpoke.
>>335706042
>Not in the main story content.
you gonna need to provide source, because so far it's been painfully obvious that what you see is all you will get.
And if it's not, jesus christ, why not just make an RPG ? Why stain a classic FPS game with this shit?
>>335706042
>>335706058
Oh alright.
I have to say that I do like how the damage you do is visible on the enemies, seems like you're able to shoot off chunks of meat and shit. So that's something at least.
>>335705559
Why is the asian master guy in the beginning black?
>>335706319
BECAUSE THIS GAME IS FIRING ON ALLPROGRESSIVECYLINDERS
>>335706319
Kek. Thought the same thing.He's not really black, is he?
The enemies names bars also say what they are vulnerable to. What a casualfest

Leave it to /v/ to hate good vydia for the dumbest reasons.
>>335706454
Leave it to redditfags browsing this site for some unexplainable reason like you to defend anything and everything, like absolutely terrible and dumb design decisions shitting all over the earlier game.
>>335706454
something something stop being dumb
I think it looks like a fun game, but it sure as hell isn't what people wanted from a Shadow Warrior game.
>>335706147
Its from the Angry Joe video
>Why stain a classic FPS game with this shit?
Assume they want to allow for replayability in another way, and there is like 70 weapons plus ways to upgrade and modify those weapons. Likely that without grinding you won't get every type of augment.
Also the levels are way fucking bigger now, and to make people explore the maps this is why they do the quest shit.
Without 4 player co-op, I wouldn't care but I am a whore about that type of stuff.
>>335706539
>u reddit blagh blagh blagh blagh
How about you shut your face,kid.
>>335705559
>health bars for enemies

But why?
Shadow Warrior was great as it was, why the fuck inject this shit into it?
>>335706828
So it's an RPG now? Grinding? 70 weapons? Quests? What the fuck is this shit?
>>335706928
>u /v/ blagh blagh blagh
gotta make sure I don't slip on all the blood coming from your rectum
looks fun for coop
fuck you
>>335706993
So the mechanics are transparent and players can make more informed tactical decisions.
>>335707060
>hehe u mad rite xDD
Didn't expect this low level shit,kid. I'll be on my way.
>>335706993
Because everything even remotely good must die an agonizing death at the hands of everyone you hate.
>>335707242
Please do.
Holy fuck, some finally some updates.
release date when?
>>335707205
>more informed tactical decisions.
Its a game about shooting and slicing demons to fucking pieces. What 'informed tactical decision' needs to be made?
>Lo Wang once again only cares about money

Ick.

no thanks
>>335707496
It would be useful to know damage drop off or weapon type weaknesses for certain enemies for example, it would also be good to compare weapon damage values after an upgrade.
>>335707052
pretty much yeah.
saddest thing is that people seem "excited" for this crap, when I'm only seeing another Boredomlands-like mess.
>>335705559
>Skyim with guns
Actually this looks fantastic
I didn't play the first one. well the remake. I played the FIRST shadow warrior.
>>335706319
Because it would be racist if it was nothing but a bunch of fair-skinned assholes in this game.
>>335708661
play the first "new" one then, it's rad
>WOE IS ME HOW DA MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN
The last game was fucking terrible too, it's hilarious how people were like "IT'S LIKE AN OLD SKOOL FPS"
suck my fuckingWANG
>>335705559
This looks amazing.
>>335707052
so you're implying the remake didn't have a metric fuckton of stupid 'rpg lite' skills and pointless weapon upgrades?
>>335709234
First game is awful. This looks fun though. People who say shit like OLD SKOOL FPS will like anything that doesn't have health regen and cover system. They are even worse than cawodoody kiddies
>>335705559
it looks good
>>335705559
The writing seems to be a step down and the health bars and damage numbers are debatable, but the gameplay looks really good. Seems like they've opened up the maps for movement a little bit now.
I didn't like gameplay in the first game all that much. You walk through a corridor, then arrive in a reasonably large area, get boxed in, gazillion demons spawn, kill them, door to next corridor opens, repeat.
According to Pissed-off Pedro's preview the main story is going to be only about eight hours.
>>335710156
The frist wasn't oldschool solely because of health regen or cover.
It did pretty much everything like it used to be done 10 years ago.
>>335713093
Well the first game did get kind of grindy towards the end.
>>335705559
looks like borderlands but with interesting environments.
>>335705559
I guess SotN is trash for having numbers come out of enemies
>>335705559
They dropped the ball with the woman talking down on you in your mind.
Seems like a game for cucks. They are literally cuck pandering.
>>335715190
>Lo Wang
>Ever getting cucked
>>335705559
I hope they increase the Fov
>>335705559
Where are the sexy amazon/succubus from the original game?
pic unrelated
>>335709658
Fair point. No reason to go down that way even more in the sequel, though.
>>335705559
Pros
>faster movement and attacks
>environments less linear and boxy
>Wang is as good as ever
>graphics are improved
Cons
>markers and hit numbers that might not be toggleable
>new female voice is absolutely nothing compare to Hoji
Overall looks worth the investment.
>>335705559
ITT: People who never played Shadow Warrior judge Shadow Warrior 2 for inconsequential reasons
>>335705559
Levels look much more open than they were in the previous game, which is great because the absolute worst flaw that game had was the linear as fuck levels. Also apparently each level has several different weather settings? Looks neat but it seems to just be eye candy. Also holy fuck Lo Wang runs at fucking sanic speed.
The gun design is fuckawesome, like last game. It seems like they've increased the damage guns deal compared to last game where it was rather weak too, although it still feels somewhat lackluster. That demon skullgun looks rad as fuck, though.
Not sure what the difference is supposed to be between the katanas and the claws. So far it looks like they function identically.
I agree with the rest of the thread, the health bars and damage numbers look out of place. Please let there be an option that disables this.
The head voice broad is annoying as fuck. Living up to Hoji is going to be difficult enough as it stands but it feels like they really dropped the ball on this one.
Still looks like a decent game, though, if it ends up being near as good as SW2013 I'll probably pick it up.
>Lo Wang acts like an American with a shitty asian accent instead of a cocky Asian kung-fu master stereotype
This is my only gripe with the new games. That and asinine way they rate you after every battle. I still don't understand what affects your rankings.
Either they changed Wang's VA or he really not giving a shit about his performance this time around. That chick is never going to be as good as Hoji either.
>>335709025
You're being ironic right?
What is wrong with enemy health bars and damage numbers?
>>335705559
This looks like Borderlands
I don't like it
>>335714576
>It did pretty much everything like it used to be done 10 years ago.
I'm sorry what?
>>335719265
Yeah it sounds like he's really not willing to do this again. I wonder if the VO is not liking the game so far?
>"this is totally a true old school styled FPS guise"
>It isn't.
>>335705559
>remove things people loved from original game
>try for a mainstream appeal "things other franchises did better"
>Everyone gets mad, lose normal fanbase, fail to enchant mainstream audience.
Everytime my dear devs, every time.
>people think there won't be an option to turn off the health bars and damage numbers and shit
fucking bethesda doom has that option, no possible way this game won't
I mean if it doesn't then I won't even pirate it but I don't think it will be an issue
>>335724670
Well at least visuals are good and the idea of over the top jap/chink bullshit is still there.
>People pretending that Hoji was a good character.
>>335705559
mirin art and enemy design
for all the craziness it looks quite dull though.. looks like you dont need to use half your skill moves and combat areas are pretty bland
they could've done a lot more with the rooftops section i think
>>335724768
The game has XP levels and gear treadmills. Turning off the numbers will only make you wonder how they managed to make the enemies spongier than the first game.
>>335705559
>epic sarcastic female character
But it's okay when Wang does it?
this looks like fun
/v/ just hates fun
>>335725031
>Not liking Hoji and being sad at the end
>>335725305
Some of his lines are also pretty bad.
At least OG Lo Wang had a charming racist accent.
>memelands quests and damage numbers
Nevermind not having anything to do with the original, this has nothing to do with the reboot.
>>335725601
Well melee still seems to be more powerful than guns, so there's that.
>>335725305
Yes.
It's all in how it's delivered. Wang and Hoji were both obnoxious jockish assholes but they were never overly condescending and their banter was frequently played off each other. The new dialog is just her whining and him ignoring, which isn't fun.
>>335705559
oh boy can't wait to run trough miles of copypasted shit, doing the same boring stuff over and over
Truly a worthy old school shooter successor
>Wang Cave
>Disembodied Female Voice
No.
>>335705559
looks alright to me, grill is prob only part of a story quest and can prob turn the numbers off in the menu

>>335728509
I did, but I'm replying to OP if you didn't notice.
>>335728703
Well you're retarded (if you didn't notice)
Anyone else feel like something was off with the swords? Like he wasn't really making contact or something? It looked "floaty" and not physical or visceral
>>335705559
>Not playing Demonsteele instead
>>335728823
The burden of proof is on you, my triggered autistic friend :)
>>335729098
Proof of what? That your retarded? One just has to read your posts to realize that
>people complaining about the health bars and damages numbers and hit markers
>when they were shown in the original gameplay reveal months ago
>could have voiced shit then, but said nothing
You all are slow to react.
>>335705714
>>335705559
those are some pretty arbitrary nitpicks
>>335729039
Swords reach is far bigger than the weapons themselves, you can see this during the rooftop run when he hits a guy with a charge attack well outside the range you'd expect for a sword. Being a charge attack, you can chalk this up to ki or whatever but the swords just weren't slicing the bad guys up like it did in the first.
Enemies weren't responding to any of the weapons, though. There doesn't seem to be any stuns, staggering or knockback from getting shot or hit, just from magic attacks.
>>335729090
>implying I don't
How do you like the new character?
Any wads you'd recommend for Demonsteele? I've exhausted a lot of mine and are looking for new ones to try
>>335705559
>This is all it takes for you to dislike the game
Just fucking kill yourself OP
The first game was nearly good but the damage sponge enemies combined with unfun weapons killed it pretty hard
Maybe someday they'll make a game as good as or better than Hard Reset
>It’s a superb action game that does first-person melee combat well, has gorgeous environments, and managed not to feel like a throwback to the skeevier parts of the Build Engine days
Finally, a game made for a true RPScuck like me...
Hopefully my wife will let me pre-order this
>>335705559
Actually looks really good. I'm slightly upset by the borderlandsing up of it but the map design seems way way way better, same with the enemy variety.
>>335707689
If the whole plot of this isn't actually Lo Wang trying to rescue Hoji from hell or some shit I'm gonna be mighty pissed.If you can keep playing after you beat the game but choose whether to have hoji or the chick in your head it would be absolutely godlike. Don't expect it to happen though.
>>335708661
Seriously. You really should play the new one too though, it's really good too. This new one looks a bit better from the trailer though, which is something I can't believe I'm saying with the way the industry is going these days.
>>335730579
