Looks faithful to the manga/anime in the sense that Guts looks as badass as ever! Can't wait to slash some *guts* on the Vita

Can't wait to play Dark Souls 4

Well, Dark Souls took A LOT of its inspiration in Berserk's universe in the first place (not the games, the manga of course). Just look at Berserk's bestiary, weapons and general environments, the similarities are striking at times (Berserk started releasing as a manga in 1989).
Note that I'm not blaming From Software from where it got its inspiration or anything, the Souls games are formidable, but let's give credit where it's due

There has been a small trend of games imitating Dark souls in the recent periods, be it the universe and lore or the gameplay, but that's a different case we got here.

EDIT: Also the game looks for all intents and purposes like a Dinasty Warriors.
Not the type of game I really enjoy playing, but hopefully it's good (in its own type).

Dynasty Warriors -- The Lego games of Japan.

Great, I love both Berserk games on the DreamCast and PS2.
I think it uses the same engine as First of the north star games.

Except this time...the npc's die at your god hands !

Oh wow... Didn't expect a berserk themed warriors game. I'm surprisingly hyped for this.

Edit: It has a steam icon at the bottom, hype intensifies

 

[XDel]

The Dreamcast version is still great after all these years too!

 

[Meteor7]

People still remember this? That's grand! It looks like it's in good hand, too, which gets me right pumped.

 

[SS4]

I am sooo getting this!!!!!
