Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice impressed us back when we played it at Gamescom, with its interesting twists on the formula From Software has been building on for years. One thing we weren't able to show during our demo, however, was a tried-and-true boss fight - a hallmark of these kinds of games.

Thankfully, Sony has uploaded some extended gameplay footage from that demo, including a look at a boss, which shows off just how important grappling and parrying off are during combat. Of course, this being a game from From Software, the demo doesn't have a happy ending for the person playing.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is scheduled to release March 22, 2019.

The Devil May Cry series practically invented the phrase “stylish action” with its fearless demon-hunter Dante. A fixture of the franchise since the first entry, it’s not all that surprising that Capcom brought him back for Devil May Cry 5. During the adventure, you will swap between him, Nero, and a brand-new, mysterious character named V. After going hands-on and chatting with the developers about the newest entry at TGS, we can assure you that Dante is still the badass you’ve come to know and love, but this time around has plenty of new tricks up his sleeves. Here are our biggest take away from our extensive demo.

A Different Type Of Fighter

While Dante has his iconic Rebellion sword and Ebony and Ivory handguns, Capcom is adding a lot more skills and weapons to make Dante feel new and exciting. During our demo, we swapped between three different weapons, changing Dante’s fighting style. His standard sword and dual-wielding handguns represent his more traditional style that we’ve seen over the years. In the guns department, he can now wield a shotgun or rocket launcher, which both give you a serious sense of power. You can also use a boxing stance for quick jabs and kicks, which are great if you want to get up close and personal with an enemy. But the best of all of Dante’s new tools is his motorcycle (which we’ll get into more detail shortly), which you can ride straight on or wield as a weapon on your arms. 

In my hands-on time, the game controlled smoothly and I liked having so many different options. Capcom is really adopting a “play as you want” approach, allowing players to hone in one specific weapon or strategy, or get more stylish and complex, with a slew of weapons, moves, and combos. As anyone who has played the games know, you must use everything in your arsenal, from jumping and dodging to charging attacks, to get some impressive combos. Watching that stylish score go up is still satisfying, making you push to constantly up your combat grade along the way. 

As for changing how he plays a bit, Capcom thought it was necessary. “People are going to expect advances, so this time we figured we should play up the idea that he’s all about customization options,” says director Hideaki Itsuno. “As we did before, you do have the ability to change your styles at any given time, you have the ability to change your melee or ranged weapon whenever you want, and finally what weapons are you going to have in your inventory and what order are you going to have them in there.” 

Using A Motorcycle In Battle Is The Best

My favorite part of the demo hands-down is using the motorcycle, The Cavaliere, in battle. We saw this weapon teased at Gamescom, but TGS is the first time we’ve got hands-on with it, and boy is it something. First off, not only can you split his motorcycle into two enemy-eviscerating weapons, but you can actually ride the motorcycle in battle as well, running over enemies to great effect. I didn’t ever want to stop using this weapon; at one point I was doing wheelies, ramming the front of the motorcycle into demon’s throats. Then, I started doing donuts, spinning around to hit the multiple enemies in sight. Let’s put it this way, riding your way into enemies is fun, but it’s also great that you can rip the motorcycle apart and use it as a powerful weapon, slamming it with such force right into them. The former is actually a bit slower and more chaotic to wield, while the latter just feels powerful, almost like you have motorcycle chainsaw to cut through the most menacing of foes. 

He’s Older But Still Cool

It’s been some time since Devil May Cry 4 and Dante clearly looks a bit older in 5. The developers confirmed some time has passed and said you can look at Nero to help infer Dante’s age. While at first I wanted to scream ‘Uncle Dante!,” I slowly realized he’s the same arrogant, demon investigator who exudes cool. His ego and quips when slicing baddies aren’t going away; however, Dante will show some growth since we last him. “For Dante, he hasn’t changed that much, but hopefully you’ll see in the story that this time around he’s a little more serious about taking this challenge on than he was in Devil May Cry 4. He’s all-in this time,” Itsuno says.  

V Adds A Mysterious Dimension To The Story

Capcom also took this TGS to announce a new playable character named V. The team still isn’t ready to talk about specifics, but they did give some hints. First off, if you look closely, you’ll notice V doesn’t exactly hoist a flashy weapon of any sort. He simply has a cane and a book. During our interview, the developers kept reiterating how much differently he’ll play than Dante or Nero. “He’s going to be a strange character to play as, “ Itsuno says. “Just look at what we’ve shown so far, he doesn’t have guns or a sword; he has a cane and a book. So, what’s going on with that? How is he going to fight with these two things?”

The Game Jumps Around In Time

During the demo, I kept noticing the game displaying different time stamps, making things seem out of order. Asking the developers about this, their response was just as interesting. “That’s really observant and a really good question,” Itsuno says. “The answer is you’re right. You hit the nail on the head; it isn’t linear in that sense. It is going to jump around, but one new piece of info here is that we have three different playable characters and so what you’re going to see the story playing out at these different times from their point of view as they all work towards the same goal.” 

Amazon won't make massive amounts of money off of its new $60 Alexa-controlled microwave. Or the Alexa controlled wall clock that only sets timers. In fact, making a profit from its growing selection of Alexa and Echo devices may be beside the point.

Telltale's shocking closure means that the last two episodes of The Walking Dead season 4 may never see the light of day.

<p><a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/weekend-getaways/three-day-weekend-guide-cincinnati" target="_blank">Cincinnati</a> is paying tribute to its pre-Prohibition past.</p><p>On Friday, the city is opening the first phase of its <a href="http://brewingheritagetrail.org/" target="_blank">Brewing Heritage Trail</a>, an urban walking trail that invites visitors to learn about Cincinnati's brewing history by taking them through the Brewery District in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.</p><img alt="Steve Hampton, a local architect and the part-time executive director of the nonprofit Brewery District Community Urban Development Corp., stands near a sign showing the history of the brewery district, in Cincinnati.

Linck Brewery — as well as "iconic signage" and public art installations.</p><p>In the late 1800s, there were a collective <a href="http://www.otrbrewerydistrict.org/history_district.php" target="_blank">17 breweries in Over-the-Rhine and West End</a> thanks to the thousands of German immigrants in Cincinnati. The 18th Amendment, however, rung in the Prohibition era. While only a few of the breweries survived, the area lays claim to <a href="https://cincinnatiusa.com/things-to-do/attractions/brewing-heritage-trail-tours" target="_blank">one of the country's largest collections of 19th-century brewery architecture</a> to this day. The Trail, <a href="http://www.otrbrewerydistrict.org/projects_masterplan_initiative_1_trail.php" target="_blank">in the works since 2011</a>, is just one of many projects that the <a href="http://www.otrbrewerydistrict.org/about_purpose.php" target="_blank">Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation</a> (CURC) has initiated to "preserve, restore, and redevelop" the <a href="http://brewingheritagetrail.org/" target="_blank">city's history and Italianate architecture</a>.</p><p>"The Trail tells more than just how much we made and how much we drank; it is the story of American immigration, ingenuity, ethnic conflict, industrialization, the labor struggle ... and the impact of a constitutional amendment on local economies told through the production and consumption of a single commodity — beer," executive director Steven Hampton told <a href="http://www.ohio.org/blogs/2017/08/cincinnati%E2%80%99s-brewing-heritage-trail" target="_blank">Ohio.org</a>.</p><p>As you walk through the neighborhood, you can download the free <a href="http://brewingheritagetrail.org/download-the-app" target="_blank">Brewing Heritage Trail app</a> to take yourself on a self-guided audio tour of the area and to learn more about the city's history via photos, stories, and augmented reality experiences.</p><img alt="Findlay Market Biergaten sponsored by Christian Moerlein Brewing "src="https://cdn-image.travelandleisure.com/sites/default/files/styles/1600x1000/public/1537205713/findlay-market-beergarden-cincinnati-ohio-CINCYBEER0918.jpg?itok=ue2QSlyo"><p>For a more unique experience, you can also <a href="http://brewingheritagetrail.org/tours" target="_blank">sign up for any number of guided tours</a>, some of which grant special access to sections of the trail not open to the general public, like the subterranean lagering cellars of historic breweries.</p><p>Although you will be touring a city once heavily influenced by Prohibition, you will find no shortage of beer on several of these tours.</p><p>The Brunch, Beer, &amp; Breweries tour, for example, invites you to ride a streetcar through the Brewery District and sip on local craft beer at the award-winning <a href="https://www.moerleinlagerhouse.com/" target="_blank">Moerlein Lager House</a> (while you brunch your way through the brewpub's rich history, of course). Likewise, the Heritage &amp; Hops walking and bus tour takes you to three breweries for generous samples of craft beer.</p><p>And if you haven't had your fill of beer by the end of your tour, just know: <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/hotels-resorts/brewdog-beer-hotel-in-columbus-ohio" target="_blank">BrewDog's beer hotel</a> is only a two-hour drive away.</p><p><em>The Brewing Heritage Trail opens on Friday, September 21; sign up for a guided tour on their <a href="http://brewingheritagetrail.org/tours" target="_blank">website</a>.</em></p>

<p>Some of the world’s most impressive hotel room views will be underground, starting in October.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/hotels/us/en/shanghai/shghe/hoteldetail" target="_blank">Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland</a>, slated to open next month, will be unique for many reasons. But the most-eye popping is that <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/news/2018/09/17/underwater-hotel-in-abandoned-quarry/" target="_blank">16 of the hotel’s 18 floors will technically be underground.</a></p><p>The hotel was built into the side of the abandoned Shenkeng Quarry in Songjiang, about 22 miles outside of <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-guide/shanghai" target="_blank">Shanghai</a>. It plummets 300 feet down to a pool of water at the bottom of the quarry.</p><p>The hotel will have 337 guest rooms and suites. Guests will be able to take in the impressive panoramic views from their room’s rounded balconies.</p><p>In addition to being an impressive architectural feat, the building is notable for its environmental impact. It creates its own power — including heat and lighting — through geothermal and solar energy, and the roof is covered in greenery.</p><p>Water runs throughout the structure. A waterfall, built into the center of the hotel, pours into the pool at the bottom of the quarry. The two bottommost floors are built completely underwater. One floor will have guest rooms and a restaurant, both facing an underwater aquarium. At the bottom of the building, there’s a sports complex that includes a swimming pool.</p><p>The quarry is located close to tourist attractions like the Chenshan Botanic Gardens and Sheshan National Park.</p><p>It took a team of more than 5,000 architects, engineers, designers and workers more than 10 years to complete the hotel.</p><p>Room rates are not yet available — but it is unlikely to come cheap. The hotel will be a five-star luxury experience when it opens in October.</p>

<p>If you’ve ever wished there was a quicker way to easily edit your texts and notes when using your <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/new-iphones-xs-max-xr" target="_blank">Apple devices</a>, we’ve got good news for you.</p><p>Apple recently released its latest version of software available for its mobile devices and <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/cool-gadgets/apple-ipad-pro" target="_blank">iPads</a> on Monday, and one of the most handy tools you can tap into through the new<a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/09/ios-12-is-available-today/" target="_blank"> iOS 12</a> is its text editing shortcut.</p><p>With <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/apple-iphone-ios12-notifications" target="_blank">iOS 12</a>, Apple users who have devices that don’t automatically come with <a href="https://developer.apple.com/ios/3d-touch/" target="_blank">3D Touch</a> capability will now be able to utilize the feature.</p><p>For those not familiar with the 3D Touch capability, the feature allows users to quickly turn their devices keyboard into a trackpad to easily move the input cursor to points of interest when editing text.</p><p>While it is already available on the iPhone 6S and later devices like the iPhone 7, iPhone 7S, the iPhone 8, and iPhone XS, iOS 12 will now make it available across iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices regardless of their screen capability.</p><p>The feature works when Apple’s stock keyboard is open.

Rather, applying force directly to the screen where the keyboard is located will instantly trigger the switch to trackpad mode, with the ability to highlight entire sentences and even paragraphs without needing to release your finger.</p><p>The new iOS 12 is available on devices that run on iOS 11, bringing the new capability to older models like the iPhone 5S, and the new iPhone XR arriving in October.</p>

<p>Is September's Harvest Moon the most famous full moon of the year? OK, so it's no <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/next-super-blue-blood-moon-eclipse" target="_blank">Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse</a>, but as the full moon that occurs closest to the <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/autumn-equinox-first-day-of-fall" target="_blank">fall equinox</a>, there's something special about our shining satellite on Sunday and Monday.</p><p>So <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/space-astronomy/harvest-moon" target="_blank">what is a Harvest Moon</a> and how can you see it? Here's everything you need to know.</p><h2>Why is September's full moon called the Harvest Moon?</h2><p>It’s all about timing. Every 27.3 days, moon's orbit puts Earth between it and the sun, which makes the moon's surface as fully illuminated as possible, as seen from Earth. The Harvest Moon’s intense brightness means that farmers have historically been able to work in the fields late at night gathering in September’s crops.</p><p>For the same reason the Harvest Moon has also been called the Corn Moon. However, it's not just about the brightness of the moon, but when it rises and sets. During a full moon — and for a day or so on either side — our satellite rises above the eastern horizon close to when the sun sets in the west, and shines all night, sinking in the west as the sun rises in the east the next morning.</p><h2>When is the Harvest Moon?</h2><p>The Harvest Moon 2018 occurs at precisely 10:53 p.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 24, 2018. On that day, the sun will set in the west at New York City at 6:49 p.m. EDT and the Harvest Moon will rise in the east at 7:01 a.m. 99 percent illuminated. It will be visible all night long, setting at 07:03 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, September 25. The sun will rise at 06:46 a.m. EDT.</p><h2>How to watch the Harvest Moon</h2><p>Due to it being so close to the fall equinox, there are a couple of opportunities to catch the Harvest moon. Normally, the moon rises around 50 minutes later each day. However, in the week or so around the fall equinox, celestial mechanics shorten that to about half an hour. So you can just as easily look at an almost-full moon close to sunset on Sunday, Sept. 23, when it rises at 6:33 p.m. EDT, just before sunset at 6:51 p.m. EDT.</p><h2>How to see the Harvest Moon</h2><p>The Harvest Moon, as with all full moons, will be best observed at moonrise and moonset, which is close to sunset and sunrise, respectively. That's because once the moon has risen around 10 degrees above the horizon, it's way too bright to observe comfortably.</p><p>Although it is possible to get a moon filter for a small telescope, all full moons give off way too much glare to look at easily for long with the naked eye. However, before it rises above 10 degrees in the sky in the east, it's a pale orange color, which then turns to pale yellow before brightening. This is the best time to look at it, not only because you will be able to see more detail, but because it's so low in the sky it’s likely to be visible between buildings, or above mountains. It just makes for a more interesting sight. For the same reasons, a full moonset is also an arresting sight.</p><h2>When is the next full moon?</h2><p>The next full moon will occur on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2018 at 12:45 p.m EDT, precisely 27.3 days after the Harvest Moon. October's full moon is often called the Hunter's Moon because Native Americans and European settlers used to use the moonlight to go hunting in preparation for a long winter. However, you may be tempted to look up at our satellite a few days before the Hunter's Moon because Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018 is <a href="https://moon.nasa.gov/observe-the-moon/annual-event/overview" target="_blank">International Observe The Moon Night</a>.</p>
