Apologies for the crappy screenshot - couldn't be arsed to figure out how to upload form the PS, but...

An actual sequel to Hyper Light Drifter. Though the original was a 2D Zelda-like with a gun and fast paced movement, this is supposed to be a full 3D rogue-lite action game. The actual trailer is only a cinematic trailer but looking at the type of action it’s showing it could be like a character action game DMC/Bayo style perhaps. A cinematic trailer, yes. But the intention seems pretty clear so I’m ok with it. A mini developer interview here. I’ll post because it’s part of the reveal but there isn’t much to learn here It took me a minute to click with HLD but when I got it I loved that game. Super cool, bleak, spooky, discordant, neon nightmare action game. Solar Ash that came out last year. Good. But never finished it and thought it was a bit disappointing honestly. I’m interested in this though and one to keep an eye on. Hopefully this is a good sequel. More HLD, less Solar Ash.

You can cloud save after beating the boss (disable auto updates first).I'll spoiler this just in case, but there's one bit which could lock you into an ending early on...

Status check on build getting memed on by three shadow-ey dudes. Actually made an attempt to do a very low level fight against ludwig, not gonna happen. I wanted his sword for my build, but you know, maybe I don't need it I guess. The rune which gives bullets on visceral attacks will be swapped out, as it's more of a bloodtinge or skill focused rune and eventually I'll be spending quicksilver mostly on the hunter tools, or arcane scaling weapons like flame thrower which dont let you get v attack. Plus v attack damage scales on skill anyway, and as the pic evidently shows im an unskillful sort Arcane forces me to scour reddit a bit, cause its treatment of weapon scaling feels different. If you insert an arcane scaling blood gem into a weapon, you kick out all of its physical scaling. So if it's C in str and C in arcane, you only get the arcane. It can get weird when for instance you have weapons like kirkhammer which have STR and ARC scaling, but you only seem to get one or the other from what I see. Right now I have a fire gem in stake driver, and it works like that, strength ceases to matter. It's honestly not a very well communicated system. Idea is to pursue a kinda build around the logarious wheel, boomhammer and occasionally tonitrus but to be frank I find that weapon shit and boring. Well ok, it's not shit, its extremely good at providing damage with these stats. But like, it's just a zappy stick with the durability of a breadstick, while the other two have crazy and weird gimmicks. Boomhammer and the flamethrower with the old hunter set gives me that blood crazed old hunter cosplay which is hard to turn down This is how I figure it will go, maybe even taking some points out of vit along the way (do I even need 15 endurance? Maybe not, but maybe so if I use heavy weapons) https://mugenmonkey.com/bloodborne/55918

Thank fuck for that, was awful last year making Publishers do conferences for fuck all games or announcements.

Hi @Hendo I started playing this last night. It's kind of good to read Hendo say that it's really short because I've done a handful of the mini games and almost filled Daffy's temper meter, which is presumably the end goal. it's pretty aimless, it's not a selection of mini games like you might expect, you have to do things to trigger them, unguided. Scratch the screen in a particular place and it will tear the background, Daffy will kick off a bit and it will trigger a game. it kind of looks great but I think it's mostly video, bar the mini games. There's some funny stuff in there, a pointless voice recorder that made me laugh but doesn't do anything, same you can draw in a replacement body for Daffy I'm fairly sure I've missed a mini game so disappointingly I might need a guide 😅 also, it's made by Wayforward

Yeah not much shown but I’m interested for sure. More HLD is always good.
