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_McClane1429d ago

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

neutralgamer19921429d 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

SeTTriP1429d ago

I see this game selling over 30mil lifetime

neutralgamer19921429d ago

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

dantesparda1429d 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.

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

Terry_B1430d ago

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

outsider16241430d 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.

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."

ToddlerBrain1430d ago

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

DARK WITNESS1429d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1430d 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.

Godmars2901430d ago

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

-Foxtrot1430d 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.

lonewolf101430d 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-custardly1430d 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.

edeprez1429d ago

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

MadLad1429d 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.

DrDoomer1429d 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.
