This game came out of nowhere and did a better presentation of next gen graphics than any of the big names in the industry.
Amazing!
What the hell did Microsoft for 10 years? Gave us a button.

[GambleGang]

They have a studio of 40+ now. Can't wait to see what it turns into!

[King_Noctis]

“ What the hell did Microsoft for 10 years?“

Why not Activision? Take Two? Ubisoft? Blizzard? EA? Bethesda?

Why is MS the only one?

[TeamIcoFan]

Because nobody has any expectations from those companies anymore, aside from greed and half assed games.

[dumahim]

Have any of them shown a next-gen exclusive game yet?

[Stanjara]

Those publishers are not making a console and hyping power.
Now Sony didn't shown much eather but at least we got some gameplay footage.

[blackblades]

That's basically what everyone else said "came out of nowhere" wise. I seen it playing in the background on a MBG vid and I was like wth is that. Off not im still waiting on that other Chinese made game thats action I think it was lost souls or something.

[TeamIcoFan]

Lost Soul Aside.

[Saigon]

that's how i found it as well. I thought it was the monkey king game. I was searching the internet like crazy until I noticed a comment in the MBG video. I kept replaying the video just to watch this game, SMH. then i realized i already had the video prepped to watch in another tab, after the fact, SMH.

Yea it looks nice however the gameplay looks like a generic fighter. Nothing new.

[kevinsheeks]

I think we may be underestimating Microsoft, yeah they sucked this gen but the moves they've been making, on my note 20 ultra I can play their most demanding games on my cellphone full features and everything with my ps4 controller, their xbox game pass is the most tempting thing I've purchased in awhile and easily pays for itself with the content you get.

if they can manage to deliver on games in the next gen they could easily be a force in the gaming industry if they keep up with their cloud and game pass model.

I like this either way hopefully it gets Sony to make the same type of moves so I can play my ps4/ps5 games on my cellphone.

This is exactly the kind of exclusive Xbox needs to have to succeed next gen.

[Marquinho]

5 years. On the other 5 Don Mattrick and friends almost destroyed the brand.

They've rebuilt the brand, made the most powerful console and pulled off GamePass + xCloud. In the meantime they've overhauled/bought/founded new studios already working on next gen titles whose results we will be seeing in the next few years. It takes time in gaming but once they have all pieces together (they're almost there), we shall see a consistent output of quality content from Xbox Game Studios.

As for this particular game, it looks downright astonishing.

[ecchiless]

oh man still blaming mattrick? rly? you know who was the man in charge of microsoft studios?

[Imalwaysright]

And what makes this game even more impressive is that this is being made by an independent studio.

[LoveSpuds]

When you consider how much outsourcing of graphical assets goes to China from some pretty big studios, it should come as no surprise that Chinese developers can make something with visuals like this.

[Positivelypositive]

We just need a petition to ask the devs not to make it a soul-like game.

[bananacrust]

its not soulslike its more god of war than souls

[Michiel1989]

The bossfight definetely looked more souls than GoW, but the fight with the group earlier was more GoW like. At the end they show some Dynasty Warriors like gameplay, so it might just be a mix of it. Different forms cover a couple of gamestyles it seems like.

[coolfool]

Did anyone else think that looked really weird? Why do none of the movements look natural?

[ChickenOfTheCaveMan]

The whole thing is a tad weird, it's like when you see a movie that's CG heavy movie but the budget is 15M, even though it looks good you notice cheating in the effects that you rarely see in true blockbusters. Same here, the concept is really cool and who knows how far they are in dev, but that does sound like a small budget game trying hard to play the big budget AAA game, but you can see that the animations of the characters and environment is a bit off.

[King_Noctis]

The devs already addressed that in a post a day after the trailer gone live. This was pre alpha gameplay and they will hire more staff and will make more improvement to the game. This game will come out in 2022 at the earliest, so they have plenty of time.

[Mr_Luke]

As they said, it's from a pre-alpha. It means that it could change a lot, it could be more fluid and more realistic in the end. But i say that even if it stays like this, for me it's a must buy [:D]

[Rambokind]

Very impressive considering their history and size of the dev team. This looks far more promising than almost anything being released for next gen.

[Rainbowcookie]

How is this an Indie title? Wow

[jznrpg]

This game looks good I’ll definitely buy it

[Mr_Luke]

Wow, added to my wishlist :O

EDIT: it's even from a pre-alpha, in the end it could be even better :D

[shammgod]

This game look good dinna muh
