What's Next, From Software?

With Dark Souls, From Software went from a prolific but niche studio to one of the most celebrated Japanese video game companies working today. The latest game in the series is a legitimate mainstream hit, “Souls-like” is a burgeoning genre, and Hidetaka Miyazaki’s team have joined gaming royalty for their wonderfully-, terrifyingly-realized worlds.

Ancient greek themed souls game . ...just dot it FromSoft (an destroy the abysmal GoW-Kratos games as representative of best mythology game), most of the elements in Dark/Demon were borrowed from Greek Mythology....it could be also far more "brighter" and cater the need to differentiate from Dark/Demon/Bloodborne

YEsh Yesh Yeshhhh pleaaase !!! :D
and Dark SOuls 1 remake in the new engine !

oldenjon3585d ago

"Brighter Souls", are you serious!? FROM's inspirations have always been drawn from darker themes, and if Bloodborne is any indication I think they plan to stay the course. I'm hoping for more lovecraftian oddness honesty, and 'At the Mountains of Madness' would be the perfect source of inspiration IMO. If they decide for a Sci-Fo theme I hope they use the Alien franchise as inspiration (namely Alien and Prometheus). Either source has boundless potential to be a dream come true.

Armored Core Remaster+Upgrade

As long as they keep that combat system. Don't care if it's shields/dodge or regain system/dodge or both. Stay with that interconnecting/shortcut maps setup and level design. They will always pay attention to detail.

No map, no objective list, no gps. Keep that not so forgiving save system, you make a choice you stick with it. Keep you guessing, keep it weird.

We're all good here. Doesn't even matter what the title is. I have full faith From Software won't dissapoint.

Yourmommasaid3585d ago

I wish they'd make an open-world RPG game as huge as GTA/SKYRIM/WITCHER 3, with the amazing combat system of BLOODBORNE/DARK SOULS!

Doesn't need to be dark and gritty. It could very well be cel-shaded with the likes of Borderlands or Drsgon Quest Heroes.

I honestly don't get the obsession with making every game open world lol. Reminds me of when SMG2 came out, and some gamers here demanded an open world Mario game instead.

warriors_133585d ago

the souls series is open world enough. what do you want? objective lists? arrows pointing where to go for missions? fetch quests?
souls games are praised for being different from everything else. why would you want it to be just like every other game?

UltraNova3585d ago

No, dude, just no.

Enough with this pointless and tiring open world craze. Leave From Software do what they know best.

I know they said they wanted to do something else, but I would love for them to explore Europe sometime (think Bladestorm game) - they could do a story about the Black Plague or the Northern Crusades and mix in demons, etc themes. Plus, medieval Europe has a ton of armor and weapon types!

That or do a Greek/Roman mythos themed game.

"I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night."

LOL

Anyway, let's wait and see maybe Mia Khalifa will surprise us.

I’m on the fence about her. I’ll give her chance, but if she is there to finish things off. Well what can you do.

After seeing the article of the possible sunsetting of Xbox as said by Seamus Blackley I believe, I went onto X because of a post I saw. It was a gif of Vegeta powering up, the poster commented as Vegeta yelling “Don’t take my fiercest competitor away from me.” Standing there in his blue Sayian/Freiza corps outfit. So it got me to thinking, so let me ask a question to N4G.

If Vegeta is PlayStation, who would Xbox and Nintendo be in the Dragon Ball universe?

Who would be Master Roshi?

I have my own opinion of course, I just want to see what others think.

And nothing of value will be gained, because Ubisoft will only Ubisoft themselves in the end.
