Soulborn is a PS5/Xbox Series X RPG Inspired By The Witcher, The Legend of Zelda, and Thor

PP: There’s a new RPG on the horizon but you won’t be playing it on PS4 anytime soon. Well, you won’t be playing it on PS4 at all, actually, as it’s only in development for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The game is called Soulborn and it’s an RPG inspired by Norse mythology.

Looks interesting. I do like the somewhat stylized character design and animations. Kinda makes me think he'd fit in Fable.

It’s giving me PS3 vibes

criticalkare1481d ago

Sorry but this is next gen only game??

Chevalier1481d ago

Gameplay looks clunky and the enemies just stand around with limited actions. Definitely needs more work.

@Chevalier my bad bro lol! I meant to reply to criticalkare, I guess I wasnt paying attention. You're good, my bad.

JokerBoy4221480d ago

Dude tell me you ain't bitchin about visuals. We FINALLY got and indie company that doesnt stick to the shitty edgy 8-bit look and you sitting here complaining?! Fo real?!

You'll have to forgive such types. They never create anything, only consume. Selfishness/entitlement are their best character traits.

Chevalier1480d ago

What? I said it looked clunky and needs work. The enemies stand around and didn't do much. It's an alpha so no surprise there. Where did I mention visuals anywhere?!

AnubisG1480d ago

Yes, and it looks like ass.

It looks like Fable 2 on 360, remade for XBO, and remastered for 4K on next-gen consoles graphically, and the gameplay still looks like a work in progress, but it does say it's in Alpha, and the more games the merrier.

Hopefully, it cleans up well as it progresses towards beta and a final product. The graphics and art-style aren't dealbreakers, and actually, it helps set it apart from other games, but the gameplay needs to tighten up a bit based on the trailer, and hopefully, it has a fund world to explore and a good story as well.

But this is why it's usually best to not show games until their closer to being ready, because now this game is getting a full negative outlook, with only a few optimistic posts acknowledging that it clearly says Alpha Trailer. You have to lead with your best foot forward.

Just because a game is a "next gen exclusive" doesn't mean its "next-gen." This is what some people don't understand. There will be plenty of next gen exclusives announce that are simply current gen titles with a good coat of visual paint applied.

In terms of this game...it looks decent...but the animation is rather basic. I may play it depending on how much it cost and/or if it hits XGP or not.

99.9% of current gen games were like that. Bigger worlds and better graphics but at their core (gameplay, physics, interactivity, mechanics etc) were nothing more than 7th generation games many of them actually being inferior than games that were released more than 10 years ago in terms of physics and interactivity and one of the main reasons for this can be seen in this comments section: graphics this, graphics that, graphics graphics graphics.

Obviously it's a small Indie studio that doesn't have a large budget. Indie games will still exist on the new consoles. Why does this surprise everyone.?

Small Indie studio , there’s room for these types of games , I’m interested

CaptainHenry9161480d ago

This is why you need good developers to make a great game regardless of the hardware

Evan_Beezy1480d ago

Literally no reason it couldn’t be on current gen

"Soulborn"? Really? What's next, a game called "Metroidvania"?

Smokehouse1481d ago

Looks good. Huge Norse fan and it looks like fable which is my favorite Xbox game. It doesn’t look like a next gen game however. If this was coming out next week I would buy it. Dunno if this is something I will play when the ps5 launches. Hopefully there are much better choices.
