most recent Samurai Spirits came out in 2019 already.

I think it looks really promising! Nice to see some serious effort put into the game. The art direction fits the series well. Hopefully Gen-An makes a return...

A lot of people are saying this steals the look of SF4. If you ask me, SF4 stole the look from SS3/4.

Samurai Showdown had the inky/painted look long before SF4 did, so you could argue this is SNK stealing from Capcom who stole from SNK. :P

Anyways, I'm super stoked. The hair and poly count definitely need some work, but that can all be sussed out in time.

 

[Moob Butter]

SNK IS BACK.

Careful now...

But I will admit this looks pretty good. Never know, we might one day see a Last Blade 3 as well.

 

[jeffkun34]

I thought in the last interview with one of the SNK producers they said that the storyline for Last Blade was complete. But I believe they said that a new MotW was a possibility.

 

[Heinz]

I'll wait to play it first before I profess my love for it. It looks alright...

 

[Shito]

Bakumatsu Roman Gekka no Kenshi was indeed complete in two chapters. I remember a dramatic self-sacrifice in the end of the second and final chapter. And the gate of the underworld was then sealed again.

I don't see it as just being similar because of the ink look, the proporcions are notouriously similar, that goofy cheery look. And the overdone backrounds too.

 

[Ip Man]

And the blood! So far so fucking good
Edit: graphics remind me heavily of SFIV

i was going to say the same thing. looks very much like sf4.

 

[Kaioh]

Looking good! I was not expecting this. Just hoping it plays just like the old 2D SamSho games and not like that Xbox 360 one.

 

[NeoCverA]

I like what I see. I’m cool with the Sumi-E style backgrounds during specials if they stick with that. The thing that set SS apart from the fighters of its time (besides weapons) was the traditional music and style of the locations and characters. They’re utilizing the unreal engine and appealing to a wider audience with the SFIV look, so be it just as long as they nail the gameplay mechanics and here’s hoping for finally figuring out online play (that may be too much to hope for). Fuck it, I’m good with solid gameplay, beautiful backdrops and wonderful BGM that gets me hype.

If the online is solid though, be ready bitches. You will know my name.

*edit* I’m buying this game no matter what. And whatever the highest tier version comes out, that’s what I’ll be buying. Figure I’ve saved thousands of dollars from the dried up well filled with shit games that I can finally splurge on a franchise that is near and dear to my heart.

Additional characters can be spotted here: TamTam, Genjuro, Hanzo, Kyoshiro and Ukyo (in middle is Charlotte?)

Bottom left? That doesn’t look like Jubei to me.

 

[Jack Burton]

EXCELLENT!!!!! Been waiting a long time for this. Yes, it looks HEAVILY influenced by SFIV, but it suits it. Love the music. I hope it's good.

 

[GutsDozer]

This actually looks rad! Color me surprised!

 

[greedostick]

Basara needs to be in this game. It won't be a Sam Sho without him.

 

[Tron]

It's ink brush definitely reminds me of SF4.Still if game play turns out right then it will be a victoly

 

[Late]

The animals in the forest stage look like they are made of plastic.

 

[Wachenroder]

Not perfect but I really dig the style. Glad to see lots of blood too. Hopefully Gaira is in it.

 

[jeffkun34]

Looks like Jubei to me. You can see the tip of one sword and the handle of the other. Plus you can see the spot on his shoulder from his outfit.

 

[Viewpoint]

I'm honestly fucking shocked this isn't a god damn pachinko game. If this game plays with the finesse of II with a pinch of good shit from III and IV, Then I'll have 0 complaints. I'm in since we hadn't had a new real Samurai Shodown in years. Honestly I would have had my mind blown if they pulled out World Heroes instead of this.

 

[RAZO]

So far from the Video Clip it looks like its shaping out nicely. It's about time they game the Samsho Series some love. Thank God it's not another KOF.

 

[Lastblade]

I hope Wan Fu makes it.

 

[DevilRedeemed]

I hope Wan Fu makes it.

My favourite character along with Heidern in any game.
You can bet your bottom dollar he will, even if he doesn't make it to the initial roster

It does appear to be Jubei: compare

Well I think I was trying NOT to see jubei because I know he’s already in the game. Seemed like a sleeveless chap with a sword hanging on back and wrist wraps. Not used to him being sleeveless.

Devils screen grab seals the deal though.

 

[DevilRedeemed]

Does blood spatter onto the opposing character a la injuries inflicted in AoF?
