Nuovi dettagli a corredo degli scan che ho postato ieri.

Today’s issue of Weekly Famitsu included a spread on Bandai Namco’s Souls-like JRPG Code Vein that showcased quite a lot of new screenshots and provided more information, notably including the first look at multiplayer.
First of all, we learn more about the Queen. In the past, the fate of humankind was on the brink as a girl that was being used as a guinea pig couldn’t bear the pain of the experiments. She escaped, and she raised an army of Lost that she could control due to the research that was done on her. Many died in that battle, resulting in the creation of countless revenant and lost.

At the beginning of the game, the hero is seen among the many gathering to fight the Queen. He is paired with Jack and the two attack the research facility where she has made her base. A fight with the lost under her control ensues, and then the Queen herself enters the fray. During the struggle, the hero’s mask comes off, and he starts turning into a lost.

Jack decides that there is nothing left to do to save the hero, and shots him. The scene ends with our hero falling down a cliff to certain death… or maybe not.

The mask is important because the Queen is surrounded by an aura of bloodlust that allows her not only to control the lost but also massively accelerates the process that causes revenants to become lost themselves. That’s why Jack tries to kill the hero when his mask comes off during the battle against the queen.

Incidentally, we also meet Karen, who is Louis older sister and a researcher that was working on the Q.E.E.N. project. She died during the Queen’s escape and was revived as a revenant.

We also get to take a better look at the abilities of NPC companions, that can accompany the hero in his travels. They can distract enemies, offer buffs, and hold their own in a fight. They can even revive the hero if they reach him quickly enough.

Mia can support the hero by shooting from a distance, while also buffing his abilities, including the ability to suck blood from the enemies. Yakumo is very strong and fights using a greatsword. His buffs can reduce the stamina cost of guarding in exchange for dodging speed, he can also reduce damage taken and increase the power of a counter after a block.

Louis is mainly a close combat fighter using hit and run tactics taking advantage of his speed. He can improve attack power at the expense of defense, and boost evasion. You can aim for high damage, but overextending is very dangerous.

We then get to see the first look at multiplayer. In Code Vein the cooperation among revenants is crucial, not only with buddy NPCs, but also other players, who can be summoned online to help to clear a dungeon. If you feel that you can’t do on your own, it’s advisable to call for help.

Players can send a rescue signal, and players who meet the conditions will come to help. Other players may come alone, or they can appear with their own buddy NPC. The NPC’s buffs will affect the whole party.

Communication is done via emotes that can be customized with a gesture, voice, and icon. The range of customization is fairly wide, and the emotes you create can be saved in a palette and used instantly whenever you want. Using this feature well should allow players to quickly communicate about tactics and report on their situation.

In an earlier interview, developers mentioned that they were thinking of really new features for online multiplayer, but this feels very familiar unless they meant the emote crafting system, which is quite interesting. At the moment, we don’t know if there is more on the menu, and PvP has not been mentioned.

Ed ecco anche una serie di screen

Spoiler

The screenshots focus on two characters, Cruz and Karen. Cruz was used as a guinea pig for a series of horrific experiments which attempted to save mankind. Suffering intense pain during the failed research, she became a destructive force able to control the lost, nicknamed “the Queen”.
Karen is Louis’ older sister. She used to work as a researcher on the experiment that changed Cruz, and she was killed as a consequence. She was then brought back as a revenant and she supports the other revenants in battle.

We also get a look at cooperative multiplayer that allows players to call for help when they find themselves in a pinch against the lost in a dungeon. By sending a distress signal, another player connected online will be summoned pretty much like in the Souls series, but with the addition of the AI-controlled companion which will still be part of the action.

Communication is done via a combination of animated gestures, stamps, and vocal lines, allowing players to quickly relay tactics and their situation.

Some of the screenshots also show the story, with our hero responding to a call to fight against Cruz. Paired with Jack, he comes in contact with the Queen, but accidentally loses his mask. The Queen’s aura can accelerate massively the bloodlust of a revenant, so the hero begins to turn into a Lost, and Jack shots him to end his misery. The scene ends with the hero falling into a chasm, apparently dead.

Nuovo video di gameplay mostrato durante un evento ad Akihabara.

Questa demo, intitolata Second Blood, non è la stessa già mostrata in precedenza al Tokyo Game Show (che era la First Blood).

Si vede come si può cambiare il compagno che ci segue in appositi punti, scontri con alcuni Lost di piccole dimensioni e poi nuovamente la battaglia con il Queen’s Knight.

■ Early Story
Awakening

After the battle with Q.U.E.E.N., the protagonist wakes up in an unknown location. Io is there, but… The protagonist lost the majority of his memory from the damage to his heart. Io also seemed to have lost her memory.

The Protagonist and Io

Led by Io, they head towards the collapsed city before reaching the withered Blood Tear Springs, but… While Io lost the memories concerning herself, she still has knowledge of the Blood Tears in this world, and seems to know of the protagonist’s ability to reactivate withered Blood Tear Springs…

With the protagonist’s power, he reactivates the Springs, and by absorbing the ripened Blood Tears, the two restore their energy. There surfaces a Revenant group going around urban areas searching for Blood Tears, who captures the protagonist and Io as Blood Tear-collecting slaves.

Looking for Blood Tears

Due to a heavy taxation of Blood Tears, as well as the powerful among the Revenant society, a hierarchical relationship was established where weak Revenants are treated as slaves to collect Blood Tears. Both the captured protagonist and Io are taken prisoner, and together with the Revenants in the same situation, they head underground in search of Blood Tears.

The Disaster

The protagonist obtains Blood Tears and returns to ground level. He finds Io lying on the ground with Revenants that continue to get annihilated and vanish, but… It was the work of Revenants that came into contact with the miasma, and whose thirst for blood ran wild. The Revenants—who already started to lose their sense of self, whose heads mutated, and who become Lost—also attack the protagonist.

Louis appears to help the protagonist, who was caught off guard and in a dilemma. After that, the protagonist fights alongside Louis against the Revenants assailants.

The Protagonist and Louis

With the help of Louis, the protagonist and company do away with the Revenants who became Lost. Louis, who witnesses the protagonist reactivate a Blood Tear Spring, finds a means of escape and guides the protagonist to his base in order to use that power for his own objective.

■ Field: Cathedral of the Sacred Blood

Floating above the hollowed-out land is an odd-looking church. Its complex and mysterious structure turns away those from stepping inside, inviting them on a never-ending journey.

In its depths is a grand cathedral. White corridors are spread out around it as if turning away those who approach the cathedral.

Inside the corridors. On the floor and pillars are complex passageways and staircases engraved with beautiful embossments.

The corridors are dotted with and connected by cylinder-shaped rooms. These rooms have several entrances and exits, so it is easy to lose your sense of direction.

There are passageways with differences in elevation. Falling is an ever-present danger.

In the circular plazas, passageways, and the like, there will be Lost lurking to protect those places.

Masked female-type Lost will protect various places in the cathedral. They wear beautiful white veils, but the eyes of their iron mask are an empty darkness and they attack intruders like automatons.

A passageway where white vegetation grows in large numbers. They resemble Blood Tear Springs, but do not produce any Blood Tears.

The cathedral stands before the protagonist and company upon exiting the corridors. A giant seal seems to have been placed on the entrance of the cathedral. And nearby seems to be a girl that resembles Io…?

What awaits inside the walls of the cathedral…?

■ The “Successor” Who Inherits Q.U.E.E.N.’s Body

As a result of trying every possible measure to disable the infinite regeneration of Q.U.E.E.N., the only method arrived at was “fusion with the body of another person.”

The God Shell

The name given to the partitioned body of Q.U.E.E.N. Similar to a Lost, it is fully assimilated with parasites and thus cannot be incinerated, and as a last resort, measures were taken to “transplant the body inside another body.”

Guardian of the God Shell

Jack is feared as a “Revenant Hunter.” He guards the God Shell, but his true mission make a new Revenant inherit the God Shell as a successor when signs of losing one’s self start to appear. In order to achieve that mission, he has laid many Revenants to rest.

Successor of the God Shell

Only Revenants whose compatibility level with the God Shell surpasses a certain amount will be deemed a candidate to become successor. Nevertheless, it will cause transformation to a body unable to endure erosion.

In order to control the erosion of the God Shell, a “strong will” is required in addition to the high compatibility level. Selection of the successor that possesses the nature to take over the God Shell is one of Jack’s duties.

Jack and Eva’s Mission

Successors unable to endure the erosion of the God Shell, and who show signs of losing one’s self, will die at the hands of Jack, and the God Shell will be inherited by a new successor…

Eva kneels to pray to the Revenants who have perished. She has a special power to calm the God Shell running wild with her singing voice. With that power, she stays by Jack’s side, supporting him on his mission.

■ Boss: The Successor of the Ribcage

The successor that awaits in the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood. While it already lost its human consciousness, it stands before the protagonist and company as if to block the door to the cathedral.

A giant creature with a wolf-like head, the Successor of the Ribcage has four arms and two legs. Since it has inherited the power of Q.U.E.E.N., it is a mighty foe whose strength cannot be compared to other Lost.

Chains can be seen on the Lost’s hands and feet.

Its four arms are engraved with marks that enable it to unleash Gifts of various attribute, including thunder, ice, and fire. Both their range and power are tremendous, so you will not be able to win without a counter-plan.

■ Jack’s Partner Traits

Jack actively approaches the enemy to fight at close range. Given his high mobility and evasion performance, he is difficult to damage. Using his “Bloodshot” Gift, which can attack from a long distance, and his “Active Record” Gift, which increases his maximum stamina value, he can strengthen both his attack and defense.

Jack is characterized by step evasion only possible with lightweight equipment. He will proactively attack the enemy while dodging its attacks.

Some Gifts that Jack Can Use

Active Record – Increases the maximum stamina of both himself and his allies, and fully recovers stamina, for a fixed period of time.

Bloodshot – Transforms blood power into a large bullet that is then fired.

Co-Op Gift: Fatal Day

A Co-Op Gift that can be used when Jack is your partner. It trades off the use of regeneration power to increase attack power and decrease the amount of stamina consumed.

—With the Co-Op Gift “Fatal Day,” although physical strength cannot be recovered for a fixed time due to the regeneration power trade-off, you can actively use Drain attacks with a higher number of attacks and less stamina consumption to deal big damage.

■ Eva’s Partner Traits

Eva provides cover while mainly shooting with her bayonet to fight from a distance. She can deal big damage from long distances with her attack-type Gifts such as “Bloodshot” and “Bleed Roar.”

When she uses up her Ichor Stock, Eva can fight at close range, but since her physical strength is low, she must be careful as not to get killed.

Some Gifts that Eva Can Use

Authority – Increases her and her allies’ Gift use speed for a fixed period of time.

Bleed Roar – Creates a blade of polluted blood that fires at the enemy.

—“Bleed Roar” is a gift that can deal big damage from a distance. By combining it with “Authority,” you can put the enemy in a dangerous situation, easily unleashing powerful gifts to defeat them.

Co-Op Gift: Limited Song

A Co-Op Gift that can be used when Eva is your partner. It increases Ichor Stock consumption as a trade-off to increase Drain performance and Gift performance for a fixed period of time.

Devo dire che ispira non poco, oddio l'ambientazione con le architetture gotiche avrei preferito non anticiparmela. Mi piace tutto quel bianco rispetto al grigiore cupo e urbano che si era visto nei primi gameplay, ha un aspetto "anemico" e malato, sinistro, ossa acuminate e cesellate che si stagliano contro il cielo.

 

[FlareZero]

I modelli dei personaggi sono davvero molto belli.

Un nuovo video di gameplay.

 

[Igniz83]

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu included a spread on Bandai Namco’s Souls-like JRPG Code Vein, including new screenshots and information.
We learn about a new character Juuzo Midou. He used to be the leading expert in vampire research before the Great Collapse. He gathered orphans at his laboratory before sending them to the battlefield as mercenaries. He used human bodies for his research and now he has become a superpowered revenant himself. He seems to be targeting revenant with high combat capabilities for the purpose of furthering his experiments.

We also get to see more of Louis and Mia in action as NPC companions, and a few weapons, among one-handed swords there are the broadsword, the “sword of the sunset” and the “Hanemukuro”. Among two-handed swords there are the “Sword of the Grotesque Curse,” the “Zweihander” and the “Nagimukuro.”

You can check out all the screenshots below, keeping in mind that they’re from magazine scans, so the quality is not perfect. If you want to see more, you can also enjoy a recent gameplay trailer, and another of screenshots. Just a few days ago, we got an update on development and on the developers’ ambitions to grow the game into a franchise.

Due nuovi scan per Code Vein.

Credo che questa Emily Sue che si vede nel primo scan sia un nuovo personaggio.

Spoiler

- - - Aggiornato - - -

Ecco una serie di nuovi dettagli tratti dagli scan:

First of all, we meet a new character, Emily Sue. Like Yakumo, she belongs to a private paramilitary organization taking orders from Mido, and she has been the subjects of human experimentation. She has been separated from Yakumo since the great collapse, and he considers her like family. It’s possible to explore their relationship by reliving his memories.
Yakumo himself is a precious companion able to help with exploration. He hates Mido, as he was also a victim of his clandestine experiments.

We also get to see one of the dungeons included in the game, the “City of Fire.” It’s a city that is eternally ablaze with flames. In both the City of Fire and the Ridge of Frozen Souls, there are areas of the thorns that have been disturbed by the power of the Queen imbued in her successors.

last, but not least, we get to see two attacks that can be performed with the hammer-type weapons: the aptly named “Huge Hammer” and “Impulse Anchor.”
