Mortal Shell: Every Platform Tested - A Dark Souls Competitor Emerges!

Was this game upgraded through next gen consoles backwards compatibility?

when the "imitation" looks and plays better than the "original" one... lmao

Well over 140 fps for me on PC 1440p ultra settings.

Have the game. Its damn good if your a souls fan.

Reading comments it seems you really should not upload a video without at the very least checking facts and mentioning that certain features are broken/aka unplayable.

Playing games where reactions are key in 30fps? No thank you

This game looks great when you watch it, but doesn't feel as great when you play it.

As a person who appreciates realism of combat/martial arts in movies and games, I expect more realistic weapon combat moves in the sequel if there is going to be any.

Played this on PC for a couple hrs,I did not buy the game.

"We have HDR support too."

Why not mention that HDR had been broken from day one and never worked on any console version? The option was there but it was forced to 'off'.

In fact, the last patch removed any mention of HDR in the menus and they've said nothing about it in the patch notes. They haven't even said anything like "We're working on it" on any of their platforms. I don't think we'll ever see HDR support for this.

Today I downloaded two new patches,each 3-4gb, on my x box one x (1.07, I guess..). Instead of finally fixing the HDR issue (as to read in the patch notes) ,the patch(es) completely removed the option from the menu. What the hell is going on there? Is it that difficult to fix this? C'mon.. 🙄

Tool - Schism: The Game

This looks interesting, let's check it out on Stea-oh....

I'm all in for Souls clones.
Lords of the Fallen was fun.
But I wouldn't call them proper competitors.

"Indie mode" may be offending to independent developers. They should have called it "retro mode" or something else. Also, 30 fps is not acceptable for these graphics.

Impressive that a smaller team was able to make a game like this, I don't really care for soulslike gameplay but props to them.

Im sorry but as a dark souls fan. I always find dark souls rip offs to feel ripped off.

It doesn't have that "oomf" like you get with FromSoft games.

Not even close to any Dark Souls game.

Been really enjoying this game on the PS4 Slim, great video!

This game is not difficult enough to be compared to DS, it even has tonne of copypaste bosses, i expected more from it.

call me old school but miss the old days where no one cared for whinging fps and graphics wipms, also platforms, everything use to be mostly pc, magazines and articles related to games, plots and people playing them together. Something is wrong with the mew generation people.
ads, social media, spoiled bland games with only good graphics but lack of quality

How is this a competitor when it's nothing but a Dark Souls rip-off .. Nothing new....

This game already says it will be supported by the Series X and I hope it will support 60fps. Otherwise it's tough as a hardened shell and it used to drop frames on v1.0. It has updated since then but I haven't checked in on it.

Is John going to cover Mortal Shell's development or art direction in a video? That would be awesome!

Console players obsession with 4K is gross.

Amazing how simpstation exclusives are basivally indie games with a wasted budget. Yikes.

Deffo will pick up this game at some stage but have to admit it appears to be a shameless rip of 'from softwares' work

Playing a low-budget Dark Souls-Clone in 900p & 30fps in 2020...ahhh, what a time to be alive😒

The game with the worst input lag I have played in the last 10+ years. Totally ruins it.

Console players: what's Frame rates 👺

I may have heard this wrong so if I'm wrong here I apologise. But 30 fps on the One X with no performance mode is very disappointing. I'd rather take 60 fps and take a lower resolution. But apparently devs these days believe that console players care most about resolution. Maybe they do, but I know there are a lot of One X players who share my desire for 60 fps.

game is good but ı still prefer changing clothes and shield. its like two handed mode only with 4 armor set. attacks also feels little off with first guy. its not 20gb game its 8gb but somehow dark souls 1 4gb game 5x more content than this game.

Nice plagiarism

This game doesn’t just look like a Souls game it’s almost plagiarism. Pity they couldn’t make it more their own.

I do not owe anybody anything now thanks to, p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m

I would trade 1440p@30fps to 1080p@60fps

It's bit dull in 2020, that the game world has here and there one - few enemies, but otherwise the game world is mostly empty. Even Cyber Punk 2077 promise sprawling cities, but in latest gameplay the city looks 90% empty.

Did you say Mortal Shell play's best on PS4 pro, X-Box one X, and PC??

just gameplay it's boring to me, I can't deal with the from software formula but the gameplay is very good

Oh, another Epic Store exclusive I won't buy.

Why can't devs come up with something original anymore?

Lmao runs better on PS4

Does anyone still game on a base Xbox one ?

That screen tearing on PS4 standard ooooooooooof

I know some people have criticized this game for it's design choices but I actually love the map design, especially the main Fallgrim area. At first you certainly feel lost, but I love that sense of being in a new place to explore, and as you familiarize yourself with it you get that sense of accomplishment as you gain your bearings and start to notice the more nuanced design decisions. For example when you first run through you feel like you're running in circles, but just like there are the three distinct areas to go to from Fallgrim, the areas leading up t the entrances have distinct stylistic choices. The crypt area is preceded by gravestones and scattered ruins, the obelisk area is hinted at by scattered smaller stone pillars, and the fire temple in the mountains is encompassed by rocky canyon walls on all paths leading to it. Combat feels great, enemy design is fun, and while it's shorter than some games it's also only $30 dollars so the price for the experience is also well worth it and the shells and weapons are well designed enough to justify repeat varied playthroughs for those interested. Really hope this game does well and this team can have a good path forward to their next project, although I also wouldn't mind if they decided to do any kind of expansion to this either, I know I'd certainly put money down for that.

Nice analysis. This game is a must buy guys!

There was a patch a few days ago that added 60fps support for Xbox One X. Not sure about Pro. It's a game changer! Game plays and looks so much better at 60fps!

Impressive, actually. Good job them!

This game visually looks great and I think this game will highly benefit from the next gen systems.
