It's the START of a new disappointment. I wouldn't put my hopes up. Remember Spelunky? SO is a big series. I would reveal it on TGS if I were them.
I'm so happy for Miyazaki and the rest of From Software's Souls team. They are fast becoming like Naughty Dog in my opinion in that whatever they create I would buy in a heart beat.
The title of this news piece should read:
IGN of the Middle East's Review of Bloodborne; Or,
IGN Middle East's Review of Bloodborne
I only have 1 reason: Miyazaki.
Can gaming journalists drop it already?
They're asking us what game we want them to do next, but are they gonna listen? Last gen, many people wanted them to stop FFXIII, but no, they created 2 more.
Many fans wanted them to recreate FFVII in full 3D (though I know it's gonna be difficult, but that's besides the point); instead, they gave us a PC port of the game for the PS4. Awesome! /s
Anyway, to answer the topic question: I want them to make a new Valkyrie Profile game and Star Ocean...
I agree with the author; I would like to have another Shadow Hearts game, though that might never happen.
Personally, I want the following to return:
1. Valkyrie Profile
2. Star Ocean
3. Dark Cloud
Though I want SHs to be exclusive for dev focus reasons, I don't want it to be a Morpheus exclusive. If it's an option, then that's ok.
Let me present a healthy argument. I strongly believe that third party exclusives on the Sony camp never should've become obsolete hadn't for the PS3's hard to develop architecture and weak initial sales.
Now that the PS4 is following the PS2's footsteps, these 3rd party devs are (again) thinking it's better to just develop for this one console with the highest install base.
Expect to hear more high profile 3rd party games becoming Sony ex...
I like it. Consider me very interested.
Though I love From Software and their dark fantasy games, I don't think this subtle trashing of previous PS4-only games is really a very intelligent thing to do.
Let me just remind people that Sony has a dozen of other first-party devs. TO: 1886 may not be the smash hit everyone thought it would be, but it doesn't mean it wasn't AAA; and it doesn't mean we only have Bloodborne in like forever.
What I'm also quite excited about is the youtube community giving us pieced together info and weaving them into lore vids and speculations. Vaati is one dude I'm sure will be all over this game.
On-topic: I'm not gonna watch this vid - as tempting as it may seem. I'm on a media blackout on this game.
As I've said it before: RAD knows their game well; so they have the liberty not to show key parts of the game that could potentially surprise gamers (in a positive way) in the end.
I guess that's a safe assumption; however, what if you died by environmental hazard? I'm assuming the closest enemy in the area?
I know right? And you know what? I have had enough. I wasn't going to buy this game day one, but since the media is giving this game so much bad publicity, I'm gonna buy it. Yeah bad publicity is "still" publicity. Media, you only have yourself to blame for my purchase!
Make no mistake, I am looking forward to this game. I want to give RAD my money because they worked hard for this.
Yeah. Daniel Day was awesome there.
I hope they tag this with "There will be blood!", just like they tagged Dark Souls with "Prepare to Die".
No offense to those who are looking forward to this game, but can't SE be more loving to Sony fans by giving us a (timed or not) exclusive to counter the Tomb Raider / MS deal?
Annualized franchise eventually gets victimized by franchise fatigue. I concur with Mr. Yoshisda; I can also live without the yearly ACs, CoDs and BFs.
I hope the network gets more stable next time. I still get booted out of the game most times when I ring the small bell and wait for a few minutes.
