According to the producer, the team is about 50 percent done with the base content but only around 30 percent finished overall, so the project is currently targeting 2023 for now. Lies of P is in development for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Series S. Turns out that The Belle Époque (19th century Europe) is perfect for this purpose, offering a rich environment of a once-great city falling apart. Ji-Won Choi also said that the game "is most Souls-like in the aspects of death penalty and difficulty level." If Lies of P is looking to replicate Bloodborne's difficulty level, it sounds like those scary, twisted automatons you see in the latest footage will provide a Bloodborne-worthy challenge.Īnother difference from many other titles is that for Lies of P the devs wanted to find a setting that is neither a typical dark fantasy nor set in the Middle Ages. Of course, players are supposed to die a lot during their journey in Lies of P. Listen to it.Ji-Won Choi continued to say that the major source of inspiration is a "high level of craftsmanship" found in each frame of action in FromSoftware games, soRound8 is "trying to polish the motion with as much care." “What is VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast?” you ask? Well, it is essentially a 30-minute panel show where people (Jim Trinca and associates) decide on the best game in a specific category. JamesĪfter listening to Sherif explain, in detail, why picking a FromSoftware game for this topic would be an act of sheer folly, James picked a FromSoftware game. Which is surely the hardest thing CoD has ever asked us to do. Sherif went with Modern Warfare 2, not be confused with Modern Warfare 2, and came up with a compelling argument about a notorious bottleneck zone in which you have to kill several dogs. Moving to The Netherlands sounds quite nice, Tom! His downfall this week was that his argument for Football Manager having a bad difficulty spike was, essentially, "what if I have to move to The Netherlands". Tom picked Football Manager, because that's his thing now, picking Football Manager. You could also simply read the summary below, if you're the sort of person who skips to the last page of a book (a wrongun, a reprobate, a Bad Seed). Lies of P is a third-person action-RPG, with combat and aesthetics that are very, very clearly inspired by Bloodborne, FromSoftwares 2015 Gothic adventure.

(cheap cameras, we're not ITV) The Lies of P immerses players within an unrelenting environment that requires wit, skill, and a fair amount of combat. Which is handy, because if you're reading this, you're probably doing that right now. But which games have stumped our panellists? What has made James, Sherif, and Tom turn the console off and go to bed out of sheer of frustration? Well, to find out you'll have to watch or listen to this show. But it isn't necessarily about combat: sometimes a particularly tricky platforming section or QTE can stump you to the point where you rage quit. Whether it's the annoying bullet sponge guy in Alpha Protocol, General Raam at the end of Gears of War, or just any of the atrocious boss fights in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, high-powered bosses are usually the cause of such a difficulty spike. We all have a traumatic memory of one of those. And then you turn a corner, and some horrid boss with a billion hit points who can dodge all your attacks comes swanning in to ruin your weekend. They lull you into a false sense of security, providing a moderate challenge but nothing you can't handle as long as you're keeping your wits about you. Guide Pinocchio on his unrelenting journey to become human. Games which aren't supposed to be mountains to climb, but gentle slopes to meander along.
