MAX REACTS: Phantom Blade Zero - Year of the Snake Gameplay Trailer

[@nathanrg5508]

This the type of combat I'd imagine in my head as a kid.

[@jays.6843]

I'm pretty sure this is what people think they're seeing when they play Ghost Of Tsushima.

[@cquba]

Right? It's the type of combat I imagine now.

[@Cyclone-f5f]

I say this game is my dream game because it's the type of combat that I've always wanted to play and see, and this game is doing it and doing it good.

[@LazyComplicator22]

Mine would consist of Dragon Ball Z and Kingdom Hearts type combat

[@aaroninau]

The dev director wrote in one of his weibo posts that he was inspirated and encouraged to start phantom blade 0 by black myth wukong trailers. The success of bmw has attracted Lots of money and dev to work on AAA games in China. Watch out for more AAA games pouring out from China in the next few years.

[@alexbrooks5676]

Will do, if they’re not banned from the USA. I love Chinese games and media but it seems like it’s getting banned now more than ever.

[@Theoneaboveall56]

Yeah they tweeted in support of bmw when the game came out and it’s been revealed they got a lot more funding thanks to wukong

[@NickNichols-h1e]

This what wukong should have played like

[@zhoumadeit]

Also due to a shift in Chinese government stance for the video game industry, because it is bringing in big $$$ that they can no longer deny. So now more and more people are encouraged to work on AAA. Not saying the industry isn't hell, but is the working conditions better in the U.S? After all the news, hard to say. Better of two evils is pointless, but the product quality will speak for itself.

[@StephenTheZ]

They've been saying for a few years now that they love the level design of souls games but hate the combat. Which hey, me too! So they wanted to combine that level design with combat a bit closer to a character action game. They name drop Ninja Gaiden a lot and I'll say in terms of mechanics this obviously looks nothing like that, but, the speed is def faster than your typical souls game.

[@meijinraditya2887]

Late comment but I had to ask, does any sword formations always needs multiple people to perform in those martial arts movies?

[@1HistoryDragon]

@@meijinraditya2887 The answer is yes. That's why it's called sword formations. In novel, with sword formation of seven people you can defend again much more enemies. In martial art movies, some badass guys want to test fighting ability, they often challenge martial art formation. In Shaolin monk temple nowadays, they still have martial art formation of 18 monks.

[@jwuhome]

​@meijinraditya2887 Fighters in the sword formation is mostly corresponding to positions in Bagua symbol originated from Taoism. Other formations don't use swords such as ones from Shaolin may use other positioning techniques from their own teachings.

[@gavinwang6011]

So the game is based on their original mobile game (raining blood} storyline, so the protagonist called "Soul" is a top-of-the-top killer from the Assassin group. He was betrayed by his best friend and wife. He almost died and healed himself with forbidden tech but was poisoned, he only had 66 days left, so he decided to fulfill some things he hadn't finished. and the story starts from here, the original game is a kind of sidescroller fighting game plus a bit detective vibe. If you ever read a Chinese Wuxia novel by Gulong, you will know the style, the main protagonist starts as a very powerful guy the story is about wuxia but more like a detective novel, and you will gradually figure out what is hidden behind. The Phantom Blade and their original Raining blood series were all heavily influenced by Gulong's Wuxia novel, so all have a similar vibe. so no worries on the story side guys.

[@jjstarrprod]

I've only read one of Gu Long's novels (the 4 bandits of Huabei, I believe), but that was one of my most memorable books I've read. Such great and instantly loveable characters. I love how that book was heavily character-based plot instead of plot driven characters. If this game is inspired by his novels, I have great faith on it (although the weapons designs and uses look more like from a Jin Yong's novel, which is also a fantastic mark of quality).

[@jacobharold3204]

Just gonna point out that Raining Blood is not a mobile game (maybe there is a mobile port). It is the first single player game developed by Soulframe (director of S-game) by himself using RPG maker when he was in college, he then also developed two more single player titles which did not make much profit. Then they started making the mobile gacha games (Phantom blade 1 - 3) and made bank. Now they are back on single player game.

[@jacobharold3204]

@@jjstarrprod Gu Long's novel often have the main character being one of the strongest among all characters at the beginning, there is not much "skill progression" and the novels focus on "Wuxia detection" which is a huge draw for me.

What’s more popular today is “strategic action game”, such as Soulslikes and Monster Hunter. They choose to slow things down a notch or two, giving players more time for strategic thinking.

[@90Rush]

Well ... Wukong feels like monkey (but got map design issues), and Wuchang, while looking less pretty, got all the basics of a slow soulslike. Wukong is also at moments look way brighter due to snowy or mountainy environments with few human structures, as well as well built temples and houses, even though some are used to represent the delusions of some villains. PBZ is way more fast paced and has very few souls elements, has difficulty choices and etc so it's going to play out differently. I'll admit the environments of PBZ and Wuchang might look similar because both have pretty dark themes and feature many destroyed or burnt down villages and temples in China.

Something about the difficulty option, IIRC, according to Easy Allies - when they talked with the dev at TGA and played a new build, they said there is an extreme mode - not hard (hard is available at beginning while this one MIGHT be blocked behind NG+, dev is considering) is not just more health, more damage, etc. but also like the AI learned what you bad at so they will use it more, so no more "pattern", no more of you waiting for them to use something to counter. Like in this video, Max said something about you can either dodge or parry, and it will reward you based on how good you're at it. So I guess the AI will keep track of that and use it to see which skill of the enemy that you're bad at dodging or parrying (or not that good of - like you dodge a little early/late), so the enemy will use that more.
