Bagogames takes a look at what franchises From Software should play with.

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
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.
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, 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.
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
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.
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
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 .
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.
Don't let that mean to you guys that you should stop making quality single player though please.
I had once thought that FromSoftware (makers of Armored Core (shooter game), Tenchu, King's Field, Bloodborne and Souls series (plus many other games)) would have been PERFECT to work on Metal Gear Online 3. Few games have the depth and careful craft in gameplay like MGO2 (only Dark Souls, Tenchu and Monster Hunter comes to mind). A depth in gameplay that is usually only found in Japanese games.
Instead MGO3 is being made by some unknown, untested Americans. Ugh.
O.T.:
I think Castlevania would be in great hands if FromSoft got their hands on it. Also wish they'd make a tenchu game.
Castlevania+ Miyazaki = Fkn Awesomeness.
You could make a good argument that the Souls game is really a 3D Castlevania. A glimpse of a gaming future we never got.
Id love for From Software to revist Tenchu.
Was surprised that the author didn't slip Dino Crisis in among all the Capcom games. From and Miyazaki would surely be a great solution for bringing a long dormant series back to life and the kicker is bringing Souls level combat thought into an already tense series. To be fair I've wanted more DC for a long time but this team up could really work IMHO.
