Why From Software's worst game is worth learning from

Eurogamer:

"Heavy Armor might be the perfect Kinect game, or at least, the most honest, because it reveals how interesting life can be when technology gets in your way. Green-lighted way back when Kinect was known as Project Natal, the game posits a near-future in which a silicon-guzzling microbe has devoured every computer on the planet, setting back the science of combat to roundabouts the close of the first world war. Deprived of GPS, drones and other decadent trappings of 21st century warfare, the Earth's nations are obliged to duke it out in gas-powered mechs or "vertical tanks" that handle as elegantly as elephants in high heels."

Of course it is. You have to learn from your mistakes

Godmars2903944d ago

And the reason that it was one of From Soft's worst games is that it was tied to poor game accessory.

plmkoh3944d ago

TBH the game looked interesting on it's debut.

_-EDMIX-_3944d ago

Not something I want to remember that existed.

audiocafe3944d ago

As much as I like From's Souls games, I'm hoping they release another Armored Core at some point.

...just had to throw that out there

TheColbertinator3943d ago

Armored Core or Tenchu would be cool with me

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

STARS78d 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 192d 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

-Foxtrot192d 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.

LightofDarkness191d 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

jznrpg192d ago

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

Miraak82 192d 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 .

jznrpg191d 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.

Goodguy01191d ago

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

73oo73ie3191d ago

I will never be interested in this. ER2 please
