Doubling and tripling down on the Elden Ring name, at least in the short-ish term.

When your publisher's expectations of a game is 4 million, and then you add another 10 million and some to that, you best know that's your new baby for the time being.

John_McClane1477d ago

I'm enjoying it, hope to see some dlc!

neutralgamer19921477d ago

You are right and it will probably end up selling 20+ million so it's in the best interest of the publisher and the developer to make more content related to that. Success can many times lead to stagnation simply because publisher sees that as easy money and developers get much bigger royalty checks than expected

That's why we haven't gotten GTA6. When the 5th keeps printing money why mess with a good thing(by good I only mean business wise) we as gamers want R* to do other things but they are too successful and valuable for a publisher

SeTTriP1477d ago

I see this game selling over 30mil lifetime

neutralgamer19921477d ago

You could be right. This game could sell for a while due to it's quality

dantesparda1477d ago

How about fixing the framerate! you f-ing bums! But then again these are the guys you cant fix frame pacing for the life of them. And their games are overrated.

isarai1478d ago

Tenchu, armored core, please something other than another souls game. They're great, but i really want to see them do something different

Terry_B1478d ago

Is Tenchu even a game by FromSofteare? I mean do they own the IP?

outsider16241478d ago

I think they do own it now. If they're gonna make one i do hope its a true ninja game,a bit more grounded without all the supernatural things.

bunt-custardly1478d ago (Edited 1478d ago )

People keep harping on for a new Tenchu game (myself included) but alas it never happens. Perhaps there isn't the market for it? Isn't Sekiro a Tenchu-like game with a soulslike action focus?

"Is Sekiro a Tenchu?

“We even pondered upon making Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice a part of the Tenchu series at first.” Miyazaki went on to say though that after more time, they decided it would be better if Sekiro was its own property, though he still acknowledged that Tenchu as a whole was one of the primary inspirations behind the game."

ToddlerBrain1477d ago

It’s pretty much if Tenchu and Dark Souls had a baby. Sekiro was freakin’ amazing.

DARK WITNESS1477d ago

I'd love to see them come up with a new Otogi

BlackIceJoe1478d ago

I doubt it will happen, but a King's Field revival game would be great.

Seeing what new ideas FromSoftware could bring to this series would be cool and seeing what new ideas they bring out for a first person, RPG would be cool too.

Godmars2901478d ago

"Demon Souls" is King's Field, just that everyone including the MC is a zombie.

-Foxtrot1478d ago

I'd really love a "Souls" like game but also Sci-Fi, it could still have demons, dragons and magic etc but the blend of old school fantasy with future technology would really feel fresh and different. I mean I don't want guns and the like but I'm sure they could get creative weapons wise.

lonewolf101478d ago

I was thinking of Xenomorph/Alien x Souls game a while back, not sure how that would work but someone please make it happen.

bunt-custardly1478d ago

I would be quite happy with a Souls type game set within a modern city. Not the same as Let it Die but similar.

edeprez1477d ago

"The Surge" and its sequel will delight you then. Very good souls-likes, and completely tech inspired. I had a blast with them!

MadLad1477d ago

Yeah.
They're both great games.

And I know it's a controversial title for souls fans, but I even really enjoyed their Lords of the Fallen title that came before Surge as well.

DrDoomer1477d ago

Already been tried with Hellpoint. Concept doesn't really work. Dudes walking around with swords and shields, when there's all manner of futuristic tech all around, just feels silly.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio32d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing32d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9232d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit32d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing32d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9232d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
