CORRECTION: I'd like to point out that it's not actually accurate to call Phantom Blade Zero a souls-like even if aspects of its gameplay, level design, and combat do draw heavily from them (particularly Sekiro I feel). It's more akin to Ninja Gaiden, it doesn't have the whole "bonfire" aspect that souls-likes do from my understanding. Full list of games that I got to play/see early at Summer Game Fest 2024 Play Days. Some really cool stuff to look forward here. 0:47 Phantom Blade Zero 6:36 Replaced 9:46 Astro Bot 12:20 Skate Story 14:49 Neva 18:13 The Plucky Squire 20:44 Fatal Fury 22:32 Hyper Light Breaker 25:06 Lego Horizon 27:08 Kunitsu-Gami 29:33 Death Sprint 66 31:12 Battle Aces 34:03 Fear The Spotlight 35:30 Monster Hunter Wilds 38:55 Dragon Age The Veilguard PATREON: www.patreon.com/yongyea TWITTER: twitter.com/yongyea INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/yong_yea TIKTOK: www.tiktok.com/@yongyea TOP PATRONS [BIG BOSS] - Devon B [BOSS] - Gerardo Andrade - Michael Redmond - Phil

Is it me or is your audio for the video out? Edit: Okay nvr mind, we back!

[@tomatomaki]

Thank you Chong Yue for the awesome news.

[@LUCAS420BLZ]

The Demo you had was a nerfed version of the actual game as stated by the devs so it's not going to be as easy

It's parry not perry.

[@dewaalvandercolff251]

Hearing that it's similar to Sekiro got me even more hyped than i already was. All i want from FromSoft is Sekiro 2

Especially after the “true” ending in Sekiro which is left on the ultimate cliffhanger. I mean I know it’s underrated but come on FromSoft….its one of your best games ever.

[@MGJtheScumbag]

The creator said the game combat is more devil may cry then souls like

[@paulsmith5684]

Phantom Zero looks fun very fun.This is what i'm talking about.

[@Planag7]

Hell yeah. Sounds fun

[@godzilla4189]

YongYea, Phantom Blade is NOT a souls like. Its more in line with Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden, and its parrying is more Akin to MGR Revengeance. the only souls like aspect of the game is Map Design.

[@GrindyVine]

To be honest, not even sekiro is souls like on its core. The only thing that made it souls like were the death, save point, and healing system. There's no Stamina meter, no leveling system, you only use one weapon and that is a katana. If they removed the death and healing system then it wouldn't be a souls game. Even the director Miyazaki told articles the same thing

[@LUCAS420BLZ]

As stated by the devs themselves it's not a souls like the only inspiration is the map design

[@jaketyler2041]

It’s souls like

[@tomatomaki]

Thank you Chong Yue for the awesome news.

[@bdoleza]

Right on!!!

[@GrindyVine]

Yong, if you could. Made a follow up video about elden ring mixed reviews Turns out it wasn't for difficulty or performance issue, it's mostly because china player complaining about "easy anticheat" there's a reddit post showing the chart about it

[@bloedekuh]

It's both, 'blue bear' randomly kicks Chinese players regardless of whether they are cheating or not, and it's too difficult for some people.

[@Elanator]

Astro bot looks so cool. It almost looks like a combination of super mario sunshine and super mario galaxy and I couldnt ask for a better combination for my personal taste in the mario games.

[@emiami458]

Astro Bot looks far better than any mario game

[@benrogencamp258]

I can't believe Phantom Blade is real, I was kind of expecting it to turn out to be some kind Asura's Wrath experience where it's mostly cutscenes

[@VodKaSlam]

I love Monster Hunter Worlds and now I love MH Rise more due to the maneuverability in the game. I hope Wilds has the same system and our Dogs. Our dog companion by far the best edition to Monster Hunter

[@jeffers453]

Astro Bot looks insane!!!!

[@TheDustyForest]

Super excited for Astro Bot. I couldn’t believe how much I ended up loving Astro’s Playroom so I’ve got high hopes for a full game like that. Excited for PBZ too of course 8)

[@abcde1054]

Replaced looks cool!

[@calderarecords]

Thanks for keeping us up to date man. You know your shit. I would like to request that you include some more detail about the sound of these games lol Music, Dialogue and Sound is very important to some gamers because it paints worlds with vibes and mood. Thanks buddy. The sound that bled through the second one though sounded pretty dreamy!

[@vinryl9913]

I have high hopes for phantom bade zero it looks so fun and i hope it comes out soon

[@soulechelon2643]

Was very interested in Hyper Light Breaker, especially with friends. Gameplay looks good though it seems like it could use a lock on system. I'm also worried about a certain consultant group being connected to it, so I'll be waiting for reviews. As for the other games: Replaced, Skate Story, Neva, and Plucky Squire all look really interesting. Love that indie uniqueness. Gonna have to keep an eye on them for sure. Phantom Blade Zero also looks really good. MH Wilds looks amazing, but I probably won't get it unless my friends do.

[@DayneJ93]

Phantom Blade seems more like the modern God of War than souls like with its combat gameplay.

[@clayufcmusicfan]

I thought replaced was the last night game, very similar. Good news is the last night is still in development.

[@raptorrex]

Hell yeah

[@macklee6837]

Phantom Blade looks sick!

[@Gaijin_TV]

Thank you for not turning your reviews into a drama circus. It's a rare gift in media these days.

[@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch]

That's called _Blink,_ when you slide dodge behind an attacker while they're attacking. PBZ got the blue/red light signifiers from Stellar Blade

GoT had the red/blue signifiers before SB.

[@leon6257]

I had the video at 0.5 speed in a new windows and i thought he was drunk or something.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

Phantom blade zero is one of those games that looks cool. But im so mentally exhausted with souls games or anything remotely similar that i just cant be bothered to even give it the time of day. Kinda just want more arcadey hack and slash games like devil may cry or bayonetta

[@mrmrflamingo6601]

is the audio broken? (nope just reloaded it)

[@user-sf2jp7dk8m]

All for one and all for Astro

[@kungfuscubabape953]

Phantom blade I'm hyped

[@TheBoltcranck]

29:33 Death Sprint 66 is just a rip off of the death race from Battle Angel Alitta.

[@felledtarnised]

The aesthetic of Replaced reminds me of The Last Night (still in development hell since 2021) also 2.5D cyberpunk pixelated neon feel

[@TheOnlyTaps]

🙌🏿🔥💥

[@Fizzlefuse]

"In NEVA you take care of a dog and..." That's enough. Say no more.

[@makug]

That cyberpunk game looks like the best out of all the mentioned ones

[@holden4620]

Im excited that more perry based games are emerging. Lies of P and stellar blade were great, something about those feels so much better than games where you just wait roll hit, wait roll hit., etc etc.

[@DamnitMan88]

Phantom Blade looks like a button mashing game.. I don't see any combo like Devil May Cry or the strategics like Dark Souls.

[@SilentStorm98]

combos aren't super complicated but there are combos but you're expected to remember those combos after being taught them in the tutorial as you wont have button indications on screen as you play after that

[@Zaxbox]

Man! Still no Little Devil Within? How much longer are they going to make us wait? 🤔

[@paulsmith5684]

Replaced cool.

[@RotcodFox]

Phantom Blade Zero seems to be heavily inspired by Metal Gear Rising (one of my favorite games ever)

[@citizensnips100]

29:33 The racing style reminds me of a game called Kinetica.

[@Krenisphia]

BGAE2 is confirmed still in development. Not cancelled yet.

[@Hamerparsa]

Dude, you are so good in inside out 2 oh my god I laughed my ass off

[@jorgea8518]

Phantom Blade Zero is a must play for me, and unlike the Souls/bloodborne/elden ring game where they move and play at a snail's pace, this one actually plays fast and that's what I like, fast games like Ninja Gaiden or Bayonetta.

[@paulaassis3065]

I just want to give a design tip: If you're going to put a boss with an articulated chain weapon inside a room either: A) Make the room empty and big enough so the chain wouldn't get caught up in anything or B) Make it so the chain interacts with the pillars, columns and objects inside said room instead of clipping through.

[@AnthonySmith-bj9mo]

hi YongYea

[@vincenzovieri3743]

Maximiliandood showed this a week ago. The gameplay is epic! Everything i wanted in a game. Btw, the dev is a huge fan of bloodborne darks souls games and he built the levels and was inspired by those games but the gameplay he wanted to be fast action pases like ninja gaiden

Dragon age origins was hardly open world. The maps were quite linear in progression and pretty small. There weren't big open areas compared to say dai, which people critiqued for having big open areas. Sounds like the "mission" based areas are more akin to origins than dai.

[@Zeus94B]

Awesome to hear there are other inspirations than just souls-like. I see many games taking certain elements from the souls games which is fine. But seeing many of these games now i feel like it can be an oversimplification just to say its souls like when there are many other games that developers pull ideas from as well. Being a souls-like only isnt as interesting to me since we have so many others that badically do the same thing. On seeing that it is a bit of a mix of souls and ninja gaiden though has my full attention. I'm much more here for that than just another souls clone.

[@RoyBright]

Sooooo… non-sexy, Chinese, Stellar Blade? Okay, I’m listening 👍🏾

Dragon age origins user metacritic score: 8.4 Dragon age 2: 4.7 Dragon age 3: 6.1 And these devs thought ''Hey, lets make dragon age not like dragon 1 that everyone loved the most and is obviously the game that made the name dragon age knowing in the gaming world. No, lets make it someting different then that'' Like it could be a good game but i would just love it if you would call it someting else? Cause its not dragon age. Your darkspawn look like looney toons and goofy. The demons look like neon-light christmas trees. It looks nothing like dragon age except for certain building, wtf. If you would change the buildings it looks nothing like dragon age. Except for the lore perhaps.
