Retro Gaming: KING'S FIELD

This game was developed by the Japanese game development company From Software, and released July 21, 1995 in Japan, and February 15, 1996 in the U.S, and in March, 1997, in Europe, making it the first role-playing game for the PlayStation in the west. Since the first King's Field game was never published outside Japan, King's Field II was released as King's Field in the U.S and Europe. It has only been released for the PlayStation console.

FromSoftware is a real O.G. company in the games industry. Classy games.

Kings Field are the Demon's Souls/ Dark Souls before those games existed.

And I preferred them King's Field IV especially is my favourite game that From has ever made.

the predecessor of the beast which is demons souls...

Found this one a few months back.
Was looking for some random games to try and emulate, and came across this series.
Fun, but it's obvious the developer has come a long way since then.

This game looked awesome, but was an absolute pain to play and not in a good way like demon souls. It was incredibly slow, taking an eternity between button press and the swing of the sword. I remember it starting outside near water and looking up at the stars. It was amazing. Then I came across the first enemy and it was press the button...wait...sword ssswwwwiiiiinnnnggggiiiinngggg ....missed.....press button again sword sssswwwwiiiii...........bugger this, where's Metal Gear Solid?

Sheffield says "[A new Bloodborne game won't] happen unless From Soft decides they want to do it"

Brandon writes: "I could find you 10 companies that have pitched a bloodborne sequel, spinoff, or remake, including my own. It's just not going to happen unless fromsoft decides they want to do it."

Everyone was criticizing Sony for not pushing for the BB remake. Turns out they gave it the green light. The original still holds up really well

STARS74d ago

Man this just fucking sucks, I respect Miyazaki and Shohida's wishes, but Bluepoint would have been the perfect studio to take on a project like a Bloodborne remake. It's still an absolute masterpiece, but the performance and frame pacing could easily be solved on the current hardware now.

Former Sony president Shuhei Yoshida reveals why the original PS ultimately led to Bloodborne

Sony's bold entrance into the console market back in the '90s heralded the use of CD-ROMs instead of cartridges, which convinced several companies to jump on board the PlayStation train. It turns out FromSoftware was one of those companies lured in by the appeal of discs.

Elden Ring Nightreign "performed well beyond initial expectations," FromSoftware parent company says

Elden Ring Nightreign, a weird and experimental multiplayer-led title that FromSoftware basically built in a cave using exploded fragments of Elden Ring proper, has been a big hit.

Bad, in ten future instead of getting good game like elden ring we will get cheap crapy versions like this.

Miraak82 188d ago

It's good for them to put out lesser budget games to experiment with and also give new directors a chance to cook . Games like BB and Sekiro are what helped FS try new features that were implemented into DS3 and ER. Hopefully games like ER:NR and Duskbloods will help them with their shoddy netcode and improved MP experience lol . It's also way to early for another souls type game . It's better then company's that put out a game every 10 years and turns out to be crap

-Foxtrot187d ago

Yeah but Bloodborne and Sekiro were actually fantastic games in comparison to Nightreign which just felt like them lazily throwing together an online game with a bunch of reused assets for a quick buck.

Now they've learnt from this they can do that and still gain profit from it.

LightofDarkness187d ago

This argument has been used multiple times int he past when studios experiment with live service. It never turns out this way. They end up devoting all resources to milking their existing live services and end up neglecting any and all previous projects or IP. See: GTA, Apex Legends

First game I haven’t bought from FromSoft in a long time.

Miraak82 188d ago

Same but i respect it since they've tried to put out something new at least every year or 2 unlike most other companies, it's relatively a cheap game by today's standards and sure to get plenty of hours out of it . I'm more of a character building and pvp guy so I passed .

jznrpg187d ago

I have no issue with it I just dont have the patience and time to play online only games these days. Maybe when my kids are older and I have more time I’ll dabble more but it doesn’t fit my life and general taste at the moment. If I would play any MP game it would be a game from them or a really good MMO.

Goodguy01187d ago

Don't let that mean to you guys that you should stop making quality single player though please.

73oo73ie3187d ago

I will never be interested in this. ER2 please
