What is it with devs not showing gameplay? Surely they have some available?

I know right? Feels...so weird. Like with a sequel I get it, you can get hype. But this tells me NOTHING.

Then let's speculate!
Looks like that knight didn't have his own weapon, and has some sort of energy tendril that stole the enemy's weapon.
Could it be indicative of a weapon stealing mechanic? Not something we see often, in fact, I think the only game I know of is El Shaddai.

There's nothing really known about the director yet. Kamiya doesn't seem to be involved, Inada made the blog post about it - but since he's the head of the whole studio that could mean anything.
The huge suits of armor don't look really mobile, would be interesting to see a Japanese developer make an action game about tanking hits instead of dodging them, would be cool to see how that would work. Tendrils seem interesting, perhaps a weapon steal mechanic as you note. Could also be an indication of the weapon being more ranged ala Kratos' blades of chaos.
Here's the lore, courtesy of https://www.reddit.com/user/captain_tedious:
EDIT: first 'screenshot' / 'poster' showed four characters standing under the logo. Perhaps its a team-game? Or a medival styled beat'm up like Dragon's Crown?

Possibly, but that conflicts with how quick the tendril could strike.
I see the word 'soul' used a bit in the text. We could be looking at a possession mechanic of some sort.

Unconfirmed. We do know the same team as Nier: Tomato is working on it with the exception of Taro. I think this is Platinum knowing where the money is and playing on it.

I think Platinum Games is spacing their reveals. Let the hype for Astral Chain sink in and then hook us with some Bayonetta 3 footage, and when that's released they'll pump out more Babylon's Fall.

New information just given on the game in the latest State of Play from Sony.
It's a basic action game so far. Big enviroments, Souls-like aesthetic (aka, Medival with influences of Berserk). What interested me most was that you have a grapple that can be used like Nero/ Donte where you hook towards a foe or them to you. You can also grapple weapons away from foes or grab them and slamdunk them.
Might be a PS4 exclusive.

Looks a bit like NieR: Automata with the flying swords. Also seems to have a timed dodge counter.
I think it's coming to PC as well.

Yeah I saw that discussion too, only just now made my post. Honestly I'm interested, not super excited yet, but I am interested. Will be picking it up unless multiplayer is revealed to be a really big focus.

So... We finally get a new trailer, and it's a 4-player co-op live service game. My interest in this one was already not particularly high, but yeah, way to drop it even further.
And on top of that... The game is not exactly pleasant to look at, in my opinion.

Live services. Microtransactions. From Platinum? This has to be a joke. Some kind of troll set up.

It's published by Square Enix, so no surprises that it looks like a dogshit GaaS title. Will flop even harder than Avengers.

Not necessarily. We don't know what their contract looks like, hell it's very possible they might have only been hired to work on the combat engine and then leave the rest to Square - we don't know the details. That said, Platinum Games isn't the saint it was anymore imo. Their glory days of making hit upon hit upon hit that were must buys has past I feel.

If Square Enix are financing the game, I don't know that Platinum has any say in the matter. As Raeng says, their reputation has taken a hit over the last few years. Whether we can blame them for this or not, I can at least say I'm not interested in buying a GaaS title with microtransactions from any dev. Hard pass from me, they MAY get my attention once the game is bargain bin (or "morbid curiosity") price.

Played the demo.
Seems decent. Chose the archer.
But as soon as I get to the main village and see all the daily quests, season, festival crap I was like NOPE.

Not suprised by how awful this sounds. As soon as we knew it was to be a "service" title, it was likely that all this shit would find its way in. Very disappointing. I fear Bayo3 may be the last "true" Platinum game, and even that game I'm a little worried about.

Heard the mechanics open up much later. Actually looks good but live services kills it.
Scared for if/when Capcom decides to make another Dragon's Dogma.

i just heard about this game for the first time. holy crow, no wonder:
The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on March 3, 2022. The game received generally negative reviews from critics, and was a significant commercial disaster for Square Enix, with the game only reaching a concurrent player count of less than 1,200 on release day and declining sharply afterwards.[2][3] Six months after the game's release, Square Enix announced the game's servers will be shut down in February 2023.[4]
On Steam, the game has an all-time high of 1,166 concurrent players, which fell to just one player in May 2022.[2]
god.............. DAMN!!!! when's the last time a game flopped this hard (and deservedly so)?
it's been taken off the steam store and when the game's servers shut down in 4 months, you can't play it anymore-- and i'm not just talking about the online features and the fact that you'll never receive new content despite that being the entire point, but the super cool thing is that you won't be able play it at all, even offline, ever again. your game is now a paper weight. this game's very existence was a flash in the pan. really think about that.
turning video games into a disposable product like bubblegum is the ultimate degradation of the medium.
