4:47 He just RKO'd the sh*t out of the devil dude

[JezzaL]

A Scotsman fighting a British Ninja using WWE moves with Mongolian throat singing music wearing Ghost of Tsushima styles and Horizon bow mechanics... Amazing. Cannot wait!

[LandofBrickForests]

I like how kliff actually feels powerful and capable of knocking these bosses around just like they do to him. It's so good.

[obersturmbannfuhrer]

"What's the amount of particles we are going to use?"

Developers: Yes.

[oelaiho]

The way it transitions from cinematics to gameplay blows my mind. So many new games today take that little thing for granted and seem to ignore working on it.

[wesrew]

That head grab tackle thing he does looks so satisfying.

[NotTakenPls]

Seems all of that money I invested in Black Desert underwear/beach bikini for my Dark Knight paid off

[dazzaboy]

Another thing that they're showcasing really well here are the different environments you can expect to navigate.

[Afronautsays]

Didn't even have to finish the video, I'm sold.

[FKyoutubeSERIOUSLY]

Alright, so this is what is possible when Korean devs aren't chained to a gacha money-making machine.

[mathscantor]

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but the reeds get cut up dynamically as the fight goes on. Pretty insane!

[srutob]

When you notice that his slashes actually cut the grass

[ZeldamateurLP]

Played this at gamescom. Had never heard of it and had no idea what the game was even about. Went from: „This looks neat, i guess“ to „I NEED THIS NOW!!!!“

[SerPodrick]

The transistion from gameplay to cutscene and back is quality

[nitrokid]

Game pitch meeting:
"Okay, so the main dude, he's basically Jon Snow, but cooler."
"Okay."
"He fights with a sword and a shield. Viking style. Ooh, and he's good with a bow too. He can jump, slide, whatever while shooting the bow."
"Tight. I like that. What else?"
"He's also good at wrestling. I want him to break bosses dudes with wrestling move."
"Al...alright?"

[villa_art]

When the video started i thought to myself "thats some tall vegetation, it would be so cool if it got cut while fighting. No way they'd do that though." BUT THEY DID, THEY DID DO IT!

@2:04 this is insanely gorgeous and smooth.

[Vartazian]

Okay but this looks amazing actually. Graphically, gameplay, world design, details, art direction. Looks awesome.

[MetalHead]

Kliff is one hell of a fighter! I already love the character.

[reddragon]

1:53 that was seamless and very cool start to the fight.
