One of the most interesting titles revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2015 has to be Ni-Oh, the PlayStation 4 exclusive developed by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo.

　　This action RPG seems to have been influenced by many titles. Obviously there's a touch of Ninja Gaiden given the developer background, the samurai setting recalls Onimusha and it's also clear that they have taken some notes from Dark Souls; finally, the main character can't but remind you The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. The story is based on a script by Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa.

　　Some additional and juicy Ni-Oh gameplay details have been shared today. A (low quality) livestream of the game debuted on Nico-Nico and Neogaf user Pricken was kind enough to share his translation of what the developers were saying.

　　On the bottom right you can find four icons that determine fighting stance.Your Offensive and defensive capabilities are dependent on your stance and can be changed on the fly.There are bloody katanas on the ground where other people have died.

　　Apparently you can activate them and fight against their "phantoms" for good loot.You can change armor and weapon in real time, so make sure you're in a safe area when you do.There are also spears in the game that are good against groups of enemies.There are guardian spirits that William can see and infuse into his weapon for a limited time like the flame wolf and the blue owl.

　　Guardian spirits appear after you die. (I guess as a helping hand?)

　　You will have to decide when to use it apparently, so there might be a limit.There are shrines where you level up with the experience you've saved up, and where you can change spirit.In some locations you might come across some strange glimmering (can't make out what they call it), which will spawn a youkai that drops good loot.The boss shown is called anonryou (revengeful demon), a powerful oni.You heal in real time, so it's important to look for an opening to do so.

　　When he heals he infuses his weapon with what looks like a blue owl spirit, different from the fire wolf from earlier.Here's the Ni-Oh gameplay footage; let's hope that Koei Tecmo will publish this in a direct-feed form at some point.
