Nioh 2 doesn't looking good!

[Broken Devil]

It's an Alpha Demo!

Nioh 2 looks exactly like a Nioh 1 dlc same, no graphics overhaul no hud change, same gameplay mechanics.

Nothings changed protagonist customization, enemies reskin thats all.

Disappointing! I hope the final product doesn't look the same as Nioh 1 the most important thing release on PC!

You filthy casual.

[The_K00lDude]

nah none of that'll change and tbh I'm ok with that. If your not then bye bye!

[Squerol]

Being the same doesn't mean "bad" if we talk about Nioh and Nioh 2.
For me it looks great, can't wait for final product.

Nioh 1 on PC looks better than Nioh 2 on PS4? Gee, I wonder why...
Why do you need AAA graphics in Souls-like game? We're here to suffer, are we not?

[MARADER]

You just need to be stupid, blind idiot, not seeing the differences between Nio and Part 2

[Terotrous]

It does clearly look incredibly similar, admittedly I skimmed the video but the only new things I saw were purple revenants and the double axe weapon. That being said, the original is really good and From Software isn't making Souls games anymore so I'll accept more of the same, though I do hope there are more upgrades than this in the final.

Watching more of the video I see that Guardian spirits work somewhat differently and the shrine menu has more options than it did before, though most of them aren't available in the alpha.

Yeah, it's not great, but that's Koei Tecmo for you. They're very well known for reusing their assets. Warrior orochi is often just an excuse to take characters they've already designed and paste them into another game to sell again.

Not saying this is okay. Just saying I'm not surprised.

[Deostades]

The only thing I want from Nioh 2... is to be Nioh, but more.

I see no problem with this. When you hit pure crack, you don't need to start cutting it with scented candlewax in an effort to make it different; I'll take the crack just fine.

[Das Big Hippo]

So, lemme get this straight, you are complaining that Nioh 2 looks like a sequel, and not a new game? Same hud, that's pretty normal for a sequel. Same game mechanics, pretty normal for a sequel. Graphics literally do not matter. Similar enemies, pretty normal for a sequel.

Sounds good to me! I dig the first one, more of that is fine to me

Are you...sure...'bout that?
Sekiro have been out in the field for a year+a new Souls-like game from them was announced. Dark Souls doesn't need to be about the FIrst Flame, Drangleic/Lothric/Londor to be Dark Souls.
Just look at the Nioh itself

A year, or - as some call it - 3 months.

What does not look good? Look how Dark Souls series came to be. There is not much difference between each game besides some tweeks and small improvements over the game graphics and overall gameplay. No much of a change from Dark Souls 1 to 2, then Dark Souls 3 came out with a few improvements in graphics and combat. And no one complained about every Dark Souls game being basically the same game with different areas, different bosses and having the same PLOT Imao.

Nioh on the other hand has presented a complex combat system since from the first game. Now we getting character creation that was something that people complained a lot. Also there are new improvements to combat with the Yokai transformations and probably more things like new attack animations for weapons and new weapons, improved skilltrees and other stuff related to combat. Also the story on Nioh had well worked cutscenes, drama and envolves japan mythology with a great level of fidelity. About the graphics there is no need to improve it above what it is if it mean it will compromise fluid gameplay or other technical settings. Also about art direction and level design there is not so much they can change, because the game is meant to take place in a real feudal japan period with some historical events involved. So messing too much with area design and art work would completely mess and destroy the entire game atmosphere.

I literally want nioh 2 to be just like 1 but newer lol

And no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ surprise mechanics aka lootboxes ever.

100% this. Thats why i am so hyped for nioh 2. I am so very glad they stick to the roots with some new stuff added on top of that.

I hate it when games try to invent themself new and completly fk it up then. Jagged alliance is doing this since 15 years. And it hasnt worked a single time.
