5 years is too long man...I'd be down for every 2 though. Even then, I want more ASAP.
Would be a little disappointed if it was DS3 though..I'd like him to try other settings.

Souls has no competition what so ever, so one game a year is a blessing
I don't believe this unless Dark Souls 3 is 2-3 years off. I don't even think Sony will let him leave before the DLC is out. I'm sure they would've put that in his contract. Anyway, I'm glad he's back on the Dark Souls train as that series was in real trouble of being a disaster after Dark Souls 2. Hopefully he can put it back on track and I'd assume this is the final game in the series.
I dont know man....After Bloodborne I cant touch Dark Souls anymore
This is kind of where I'm at. I've played and enjoyed all 4 games so far but I shrugged when I saw the thread title. I don't know if I care enough to go back to clunky old Souls after Bloodborne. Quickly dodging around with your jacket flowing in the wind just feels cooler than running around naked to avoid equip burdens or dopily falling over to roll.
Now that sounds way more likely.

A CGI could work. Like Bloodborne at Sony's E3.
He's a big name now so it's easy to assume he'll want to attach his name for more profit on his games. I guess we'll have to find out soon enough.
It really isn't. Quality will drop if it is annualised without a shadow of a doubt. Name me the last GOTY that was annualised?
This is so true, I hate how people enjoyed the remaster because they thought it was refreshing having to run through gauntlet after gauntlet. Horrid game design choice, I still enjoy DS2 though, it just never should have been remastered.
There's no logic here. If the rumor is true it means Miyazaki is capable of directing two games at once. How exactly does that mean no BB2? He could use a staggered approach to stave off burnout.
It's nothing compared to the heyday of Armored Core on PS2. The Souls series have been releasing every 2-2.5 years since Demon's, with Bloodborne being the only real exception to that.

I'd be ok with yearly intervals between Bloodborne and Dark Souls tbh. They are similar but different enough to not burn me out on the series. This is no CoD after all where except the story and a few tweaks here and there everything is the same every year.

I would much rather Demon's Souls with the sixth stone available
Also I don't understand why people saying the DLC for bloodborne rules out Miyazaki working on DS3, or because Bloodborne shipped in march that rules him out.
First off, there's nothing that's been stated as saying he's actually working on the dlc. Secondly, Bloodborne shipped in march, meaning preproduction could have started on this as early as Jan-Feb 2015, and been in the planning stages looong before that. What, do you guys think devs and pubs just wait until the last game ships, take a vacation, then a few months later decide what to work on? In reality, they likely already had a rollover plan just like with Bloodborne, which started development at the tail end of development on the Prepare to Die edition content. This isn't even getting into all they have to show at E3 this year is a titlecard with a logo and a paragraph of flavor text to "announce it".
March 2017 is more than easily met, imo.
Dark Souls is now annualized when Dark Souls 2 released march 2014 and the earliest anyone can speculate this as releasing is in early 2017.
whatever you say dude...

Oh baby! This would be amazing if true.

As long as the game quality stays high (as it has so far) I'll take a yearly Dark Souls style game.
? What's so surprising/amazing about this? Other people do this.
That definitely didn't happen. Microsoft will not pay out of their own pocket to help develop a multiplatform game unless they have exclusivity on it for a certain period. If that's the case, From risk alienating the core fans massively as the Souls games originally started on the Sony platform.
Even if Microsoft do help push out the multiplatform release just to have another Souls game on the Xbox, it will no doubt sell far better on the PS4 considering that's where most Souls fans are.

Yes, Dark Souls 2 gameplay please.
I also think its too early and the game might be years away but I sure want DS3 to be a Miyazaki game including all the DS2 improvements, also I'm ok with adding stun firearms ala bloodborne but with lenghtier reload times.
I know they just released SotFS but a remaster doesn't need the full team, maybe artists and other teams were doing preproduction.

May I ask why I'm seeing people blaming Namco? From memory the Souls games are published directly by FromSoft in Japan and Namco-Bandai only publish the in NA/PAL.
Also, it's cute that some of you assume that everything good in DS, DkS or BB is ONLY coming from Miyazaki and completly ignore the rest of the core team...

Someone should get on it.
Maybe he's "supervising" it, like Dark Souls 2?

I'd rather Miyazaki works on a new universe because from interviews that's what he likes to do.
DS2 is a direct sequel/story to DS1
Edt: Stealth edit
That was the choice of the Dark Souls 2 directors. Dark Souls 3 doesn't need to be.

How would that work, team-wise? I guess the DS2 team must've started working on DS3 after they finished the DLC and while Miyazaki was still working on Bloodborne. And now Bloodborne DLC is probably going to be made by the Bloodborne team while Miyazaki has now been moved to direct DS3?
In any case, I'm ok with this. Even though I'm a little bit weirded out how From Software seemingly is trying to churn these games out now on a yearly basis, at the end of the day, they're just really good games.

This is what I want as well. I really want a Japanese folklore Soul type game.
Sounds much more plausible than him directing after just finishing BB and starting on DLC. There's no way he could be the director to DaS3 if it's ready to be announced at this point.
Also this, every 'Souls' game he's directed has been in a new universe and IP so far.

From the guide, Miyazaki said that he designed all the levels of Bloodborne by himself, & he wrote all the item descriptions, seems to me that what made those three games great (tight level design & consistent lore) is due to Miyazaki.
EDIT: Not to take anything away from the rest of the team, they're very talented, but it's very clear that Miyazaki is a great leader, in one interview he said he tells his team to design an enemy or a boss without telling them their gender in order to avoid design-bias, & he then assigns the gender later, Miyazaki is a true genius.
Said it a million times, will say it again: Nihei inspired Cyberpunk Soulsborne game.
Do it, Miya-chan.
It would make the new ending that they patched in very irrelevant if the next Dark Souls isn't a sequel to it that finally finishes the series properly.

Do you not see all the people claiming this is too soon?
And if this does keep up with 1 souls game per year and development starts to feel rushed, you will see a lot more people complaining.
But personally, I'm not even close to franchise fatigue... Bring it!
