Improve the animation drastically and give some heft to the weapons and impact and its doable. The frame rate was not too bad, just poor animation i think. Take a note from Uncharted into making it smooth, or just make it first person like Oblivion.
The environment and models look good though...

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Not sure why people say the combat looks funny...
Yea its early, but I wouldn't expect too much drastic changes here.
It looks almost exactly what King's Field would look like in third person!
If you're expecting Devil May Cry combat speed here best look somewhere else.
Combat is stiff... you get one swinging animation! And you have to wait for your little green fatigue bar to fill up before you can swing again!
Each weapon's weight effects how often that happens though.
Combat is more about strategy than hack n slash here. It's all about angles and positioning and higher ground and speed etc, combined with timing with magic blasts.
I think it looks great, but would be SO MUCH better First Person.

sure, except it has standard analog stick third-person controls, which makes lining up a swing far more difficult than it would be in first person (or in third person with tank controls, frankly (and no - i'm not suggesting that would be a good idea)).John Harker said:
adding a lock on would probably remove one of the primary challenges in the combat as things are currently set up.

Usually From Software games have good gameplay with themes that I like. They don't really innovate or blow you off but they have that something special and the right gameplay. I loved Lost Kingdom 1&2, Enchanted Arms, Otogi 1 and 2 and some Tenchu games. I can understand that their games are not for everyone.
Demons Soul's video looks graphically good, but need some more polish. It is still early anyway.

I'm not sure I want one. I know positioning would be more difficult, but I think I want that. Makes attacks more tactical and less button mashy.
But maybe I can't have it all

FUC@#$ YES!!!
I am legitimately as excited for this game as I am for a bunch of triple A shit.
Also
Everyone please post that is a KINGS FIELD fan so I can add you to my PSN list of
awesome.
I think I love you
Oh yes. It's actually kind of strange that for how much I love King's Field, I've only played US King's Field and maybe half of King's Field II (Jpn's II and III, respectively)...and a bit of Shadow Tower. It's time I bust those out.
I own the PS2 King's Field but have never put it in, is it good?
Last but not least, this game looks wrong in all the right ways. Aside from the slowdowns that I'd like to see cleaned up (yes, I know the old games had them), the video of this looked great to me.
EDIT: You know, I'm surprised and very glad to see so much King's Field love in this thread--I've participated in King's Field love-fest threads before, but they seemed more desolate, and I certainly don't remember seeing people like drohne and Dragona in there.

I got to play it at TGS, and it does have a lock on function. All you have to do is tap R3, and wolla.
My overall impressions of this game are positive. I thought the graphics looked great, except for the occaisonal loading problem or framerate hickup. The game is still very early, so I think it will be ironed out by then. The class I played was the dude with the gigantic sword and sheild. Combat was slow, but I was absolutely destroying foes with a giant sweeping slash. BudokaiMR2 played as the theif/assasin whatever, and was slicing and dicing people up good. It looked more fun, but also more difficult than the class I played. I didn't really notice the music very much because it was loud as fuck at TGS. I'm defintiely putting this on my must-buy list.

This is just what I want to hear. I don't want to read too much into the impressions, but this describes what I like about King's Field.

Demon's Souls and No More Heroes made TGS.

One of my favorite series of all-time. I've been calling the series underrated since the first one hit our shores.

I actually didn't mention it because its a From Software series as much as how much King's Field pre-dates Oblivion. Its more of a 'know your roots, bitch' sort of thing

We played this at TGS and it was pretty fun. There really wasn't anything amazing about it but it was definitely fun. I played the assassin class so I just ran around stabbing guys in the back for stealth kills.
As long as the framerate is cleared up and the story/setting look interesting enough I will probably pick it up.

Sorry to go all "fact check" on you, but Elder Scrolls: Arena came out in March of 1994, and "King's Field Japan" (the first King's Field that was never released in the US) came out in December of 1994. I would personally say that both series have their roots in other, earlier games...but since Elder Scrolls didn't come to consoles until the third entry (Morrowind) I could see how others would view it your way.
I'll take the King's Field series over the Elder Scrolls series though. They're not better on technical merits but the style of play is unique and totally great in my opinion.
A new vid of the game,man the combat has such potential,love the enemy at the end.

this must be the only jrpg which seems almost completely seemless...I know IU was supposed to be to some extent, but this seems even more so in that vid

Febuary 5th! Damn this thing looks like it needs at least another year in the cooker.
The website was updated today and they have some cool background music playing on. (Don't know if this was already there).

Anyways, I've got the mp3, if anyone wants to get it, it's here.

If my Japanese serves me right, it's a new sort of co-op called "Soul network" When you die in the game (offline), you became a soul and can sign to Soul network. As a soul, you are summoned to aid other players on their adventure. The other one being still alive.

I took another look and just saw there's another page
About death, when you become a soul, there will be blood left to the place that you died. I'm not sure what happens with the blood, but it seems to make you stronger if you find your blood. There's also many blood scattered that have no use, so it's not going to be an easy job. I didn't see anything mentioned about being revived again.
*Take this reply with a grain of salt, because I'm really not sure*
Ps. and it's Soul sign and not network, sorry about that.

this look to old school or too hardcore for me. I think I'll try to rent it. I may have some fun but I usually never play game without story long enough to beat them.
about the new youtube video, I have a feeling I'm going to hate the camera, or maybe that's just the person playing it sucks managing the camera that give the impression.
is there any co-op here? I think this slow paced, sparse story, no cutscene kind of game will really benefit from having co-op to break the tedious nature of the game.

Yes, the site has the date on 5th February too. It sounds way too early, but don't forget that they have been working on it for more than 3 years. It's just us know about it close to release.
And I took another look at the site, and tried to look at the text even harder :lol It seems the other player can find your blood, and you will be revived again that way. Together the players will be stronger and defeat harder enemies.
God, I need to get a pair of glasses sometime

So this post is what we know so far from Demon's Souls online co-op and is corrected (in order not to confuse others even more):
it's a new sort of co-op called "Soul sign" When you die in the game (offline), you became a soul and can sign online. As a soul, you are summoned to aid other players on their adventure. The other one being still alive.

The game will be released on 5 February next year in Japan.

There's no mention of voice chat? Japan devs surely don't like putting those features in the game.
Does it mention if I'm relocated to random players or allow me to find my friends off PSN list?
what if say i died, go visit a friend, they die, do i leave or do i hang out with him even after death? ;o
no mention of what skills/power/attack the souls have [or is it basically the same as if i was alive?]
LOL. you don't have to answer these. ;P
