Support NeoGAF

[Bartski]

As usual - could be all BS, take with a grain of salt and don't shoot the messenger pls

He claims to have seen an untextured screenshot from the game then called Project Great rune 4 years ago and suggests FROM basically took a long break putting development on hold when COVID hit, game is finished and in the polishing phase now.





ALSO,

 

[Orpheum]

One can only hope. I'd love to see more of the game soon

 

[TintoConCasera]

Probably fake but I dig the art, reminds me of Berserk.

 

[Fake]

Reminds me some of the Bloodborne beast, so I'm super OK if this would be real.

 

[Bartski]

screengrab from the video, now taken down:

notice human face on the monster, weak point? YES REACHING AF I JUST WANT MY HUMANITY RESTORED

hmmmmmmmm

 

[Blond]

Meh, this game’s abandonedware till proven otherwise to me. They shouldn’t reveal game’s until they can confidently have a release date.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Hopefully is cross gen

 

[Bartski]

he's actually riding a tiny horsie

EDIT: SO MANY DETAILS MATCHING ok now I actually think it's really legit

 

[Knitted Knight]

First boss = Cleaver weapon "drop" guaranteed.

Second boss: Cut snake head to stop AOE and spit acid attacks, human head = weak point.

 

[Mato]

Looks legit and inspired. Would like to see in HQ. Someone run them through ESRGAN please.

 

[Perrott]

Both images and the information provided by the Chinese content creator go in line with some things I've been told privately about the game.

 

[borborygmus]

1st piece looks like Nosferatu Zodd, 2nd piece looks a little bit like "the Count/Minister" from the 1st arc of Berserk.

that would be awesome. All the armor details, face paint (??) when compared to high def from the trailer are spot on

 

[Skifi28]

Best leak ever. "this may or may not happen. "

 

[Anki]

This look real

Well, after seeing this... If it's fake, it's a very elaborated one.

 

[shenmue mugen]

Norse mythology is a turn off for me. But it's From Software and I'm sure it will be amazing. Day one.

 

[DeaconOfTheDank]

Glad to hear that Gael might make an appearance!

 

[Raven117]

Meh, don’t know. It may be Norse or so, but I do hope it’s not a dark souls clone.
From is at their best when they are pushing the boundaries

 

[DeaconOfTheDank]

Kinda agree - Norse mythology has been overused this gen. Celtic mythology though... that'll be interesting.

What things?

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

I wish someone would do something with Egyptian mythology. Norse and Greek have a lot of focus in games nowadays.

 

[Pejo]

That's about the safest bets for "leaks" as you could get. I'm surprised he didn't throw a "there will be the large sword of moonlight" while he was at it.

Anyways, the other leaks I read that were more interesting is that the game is open world, you traverse most of it via horseback and they added mounted combat, there were several kingdoms you could visit and align with, etc. Who knows if those had a shred of truth to them though.

 

[TheMan]

I really hope they step away from the souls tropes and go for something entirely new

 

[AJUMP23]

Cool I guess.

 

[SCB3]

I really hope they step away from the souls tropes and go for something entirely new

So Sekiro?

 

[Bartski]

It could be inspired by Norse mythology as much as that Bloodborne is inspired by HP Lovecraft, no problem

 

[TheMan]

So Sekiro?

Actually I haven't played Sekiro yet cause I'm waiting for it to drop to 20, but yeah i guess

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Egyptian mythology would be very cool.

 

[iorek21]

Xanthous King and Gael?

Hype

 

[The Cartographer]

Chinese leak seems genuine to me.

 

[Perrott]

What things?

North mythology inspiration, comparisons drawn to Bloodborne in regards to horror influences like the Cthulhu-style enemies mentioned in the OP, Dark Souls-like combat (although heavier and less clunky, kind of inspired by 2018's GOW) and some open-world stuff.

 

[balls of snow]

Goty 2021 if true

I don't see any mention of God of War 2018 in the leaks?
And there's just no way FROM would be inspired by a Santa Monica title.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Put it up for pre-order, enough people will pre-purchase now and it won't matter what condition it ships in

 

[Bboy AJ]

Looks legit to me. That's high quality art. If it isn't real, I at least hope the real thing has as much inspiration as this one.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Let's get it.

 

[Perrott]

What was in between brackets was stuff that was told to me beside what was mentioned in these leaks. Also, do you think that developers don't play other companies games as well? Because they do, and even if From was not directly inspired by it, the game's combat definitely has some GOW 2018 feel to it, according to the person that told me about this.

 

[Fake]

They're still using their Nintendo DS to take a picture.

So you're talking about rumors without proofs unlike OP?
For all I know the person you're talking about could be full of shit.

And yes, they do play other softco's titles but that doesn't mean that FROM would be inspired by a Santa Monica's title released two years ago.

 

[Dommel]

How can Waifu be number 8 on the bullet list when it should be number one.

Clearly fake.

 

[tommib]

I hear you. I avoid everything Norse mythology like the plague: GOW, Horizon, Hellblade, etc. I thought they were going back to pitch-black dark-fantasy. Well, they’ve never disappointed since Demon’s Souls. I have faith.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Yep that's a FROM game

I am excite

 

[Airbus Jr]

Second pick looks like bloodbornes great one

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Too good to be fake.

 

[JokerMM]

notice the spears? yeah this is 100% legit

 

[Lux R7]

can't wait for dat gameplay trailer

 

[GymWolf]

I'm just extremely curious about the combat system.

I really want something new from them (like they kinda did with sekiro)

 

[Portugeezer]

Looks nasty
