https://www.gamesradar.com/after-a-decade-in-dark-souls-shadow-lords-of-the-fallens-reboot-offers-another-shot-at-the-title/

Found an interview from last month with the Lords of the Fallen devs. Sounds like the "umbral" world is going to be a pretty huge part of the game and sounds quite similar to the spectral world in the soul reaver games.

Lord of the Fallen looks a hell of a lot more like Blasphemous than the game it's rebooting.

Which is great. I loving love the look of it.

For some dumb reason, IGN has an ~exclusive~ extra boss fight clip at the end of their version of the trailer:

If you download them can you play them after they leave?

This is only the case for the monthly trio of games you get from Essential, the classic ps+ dealio that started way back when. For anyone that's been on PS+ since 2010 or whatever...they must have quite a library at this point. :stare:

I started subbing to PS+ a few months before the PS4 came out (free crossbuy games was a really nice hook!) and yeah it’s pretty beefy.

And if you forget to top off your PS+ before it lapses, they alllllllllllll jump to the front of your library when sorted by recent. :haw:

Ok I get that after eleven Mortal Kombat games doing a soft reboot and calling it Mortal Kombat makes a little sense but did they really make a direct sequel to Lords of the Fallen and just straight up call it Lords of the Fallen again

Aside from the giant hand that was in the first game’s cg promos being an actual location in the new game, there appears to be gently caress all connecting the two titles.

Fast X is going to be followed by Fast X-2 next year. Just like Final Fantasy. I think that makes it an RPG from Japan?

Maybe I’m just getting old but the amount of gore in the MK1 trailer is gnarly, I have zero desire to play a game that includes people getting their eyes gauged out. I haven’t played the most recent games, are there actually fatalities like that now?

MK games have depicted gore in a way that's a bit upsetting for me for a while now too. The old 2D goofy giblets never bugged me... but some of the stuff from the last couple of generations is a bit torture porn-ish.

It's shameless. Instead of doing something original they took their Todd Mcfarlane presents Dark Souls game and rebooted it by trying to make it as indistinguishable from Dark Souls as possible.

I think someone best described it as a tabletop campaign, the first movie is with level 1 characters in a local low-key setting but eventually everyone has so much XP and leveled into their prestige classes

Haha oh goodness no, the eye gouging and skull cracking in slow motion are just special moves. The fatalities are much more ludicrous.

For me it's less the actual gore and more the realistic reactions of pain and fear as someone knows they are being murdered.

So the most egregious offender to me will always be the paid Last of Us Factions executions pack that makes your opponent beg for their life for one second before you smash their skull open

Where was the “oh no maybe it’s just too gory” handwringing when the Callisto Protocol was doing the rounds and it was painfully obvious that the torture porn death animations were the only thing the game had going for it since they showed basically nothing else in any of the trailers

I bought MK11after it was praised a lot, and it was a decent game but also overlaid with a ton of bullshit like premium currency and seems like the next will be the same, so I think I'm going to skip it. I can't be bothered to play anything with that poo poo anymore.

This sequel or whatever it is was originally titled "The Lords of the Fallen" and everybody made fun of them for adding an article and calling it a day. It seems the article was dropped and it is now the exact same title as the first game.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


It's strange to me that the publisher would try to trade on the good name of Lords of the Fallen, considering the first one wasn't especially well-received and it's not even being made by the same developer. Maybe it's like Prey 2017 where they just had to renew the title for trademark purposes and gave it to anything vaguely similar to the original product.
