I hope their next game or two aren't Souls-like.
I can feel myself getting burnt out on them as yearly releases, especially with DLC between games.
A bigger gap will make me crave them.

Except it was just a shitpost, especially knowing that PSVR has very specific framerate requirements.
If anything, it will have a smooth framerate with scaled back detail. Example: Scholar of the First Sin has a near 60 fps on PS4/Xone.
Here's hoping for a new stylish character action game. Bloodborne was stylish as fuck, and they've clearly got the enemy design down. Now they just need to make a combat system that can further bring out the style, maybe incorporate some kind of weapon transformation.
Bonus points if it's in an old school Japanese or Gothic setting.
We need a new entry in the genre and I think From could make a great action game.

Yep. If the game doesn't run properly in VR, Sony won't let it be released.
Seriously, this B team or Miyazaki team discussion needs to end. There are different developers working on different games in every single software house that has more than an handful of developers.
Miyazaki has not a favourite group of developers, it just happened that during Bloodborne development he was put to work directly on Bloodborne because i think it was a new IP and they wanted to make a really great game, compared to Dark Souls 2 that was an already established IP after Dark Souls 1.
The worst of this discussion is using this difference as to say: the great awesome Miyazaki team and the low tier, B team.
I'm curious, did people that didn't enjoy or like Dark Souls 3 have already looked at credits, maybe there are traces of B team developers influencing some bad Ds3 design or gameplay choices...

They've already said Souls is over as far as they're concerned. The way this video is presented sort of confirms that too, suggests they're entering a new era.

I can see it now. Phil Spencer came back from his forum research about a potential Berserk game and has managed to get From on board developing it. <3

Honestly, from that video I believe they've just fallen foul of some bad English. They're saying their future lineups will include those platforms...not that their very next project will be on all of those at once.
And for those crying over no BB2, the video didn't show games they don't own themselves. So no BB or Demons Souls as Sony owns them and no Otogi or Chromehounds as that's SEGA's.

Yep, this. Both for the title part and the "..." for the platforms.
It's just pretty general really, just interesting to see that they're planning something for VR (can see an AC spinoff) and aren't limiting themselves to those platforms.

The VR game will definitely be interesting to see. Maybe a return to King's Field/Shadow Tower or Echo Night.
I'd also take new Otogi, Tenchu or Armored Core. They've got plenty of IPs to choose from now that would probably sell better now based off their developer's name alone.
So glad that a developer like From Software has risen up and become so much more popular than what they used to be. They deserve this.
It's hilarious. Yui Tanimura (director of Dark Souls 2) co-directed Dark Souls 3. And as mentioned before, plenty of people on Dark Souls 2 worked on Bloodborne also. Some people really have no idea what they're talking about.

Armoured Core in VR "Drools"
Read the DS2 Design Works interview. Tanimura (and his producers) admit that they didn't handle the development of DS2 well and felt they weren't experienced enough. They even mention certain points in the game that they could've handled better.
In DS3, Tanimura's working under Miyazaki's supervision. Whilst I agree with you that there's no such thing as an entire "B-Team", it's quite clear that the absence of Miyazaki in DS2 lead to some (self-admitted) directorial issues.

If it's an Armored Core game TGS would be a pretty sensible place to debut.

I have read it. The fact is that the original director left the project leaving Tanimura to make the best that he could with little supervision off Miyazaki was what led to the original release of Dark Souls 2. I think Tanimura obviously had a lot of potential due to his experience as a planner since the days of Armored Core 2 and I think Miyazaki sees that in him also. The SOTFS release of Dark Souls 2, to me, was a lot better than vanilla Dark Souls 2 was, especially since Tanimura and the rest of the designers could have the time to finish the game, like actually place enemies in areas where it was otherwise just empty and felt unfinished and rebalanced the game in a lot of ways.
It's also best to remember that From Software has been going for a lot longer before Miyazaki came along and From made plenty of great games before he joined. Is he their best director? Of course, but that isn't to say other team members at From who have been at the company longer than he has, cannot lead projects without being accused of "B Team" nonsense.

NX has been officially announced by Nintendo. Sony has currently said nothing official regarding the PS4 Neo.
The most exciting/interesting part of that interview is how much Tanimura says him and his team learned whilst making the game. I'd have been interested to see where they'd have taken DS3 without Miyazaki (for better or worse)

Where did he say that?
Didn't Tamimura have to come in late development and shape things up? I'd say he did a fantastic job at getting the project together in the end.

Either way doesnt namco somehow owns from software? Still strange.
Kadokawa owns From.
Too bad I was hoping for a dark souls trilogy on nx. And I would buy it.

Mecha game and VR would work quite well.
My VR wet dream would be a Steel Battalion like game with VR support.

Don't know about VR but with the level of budget many existing games seem to have I doubt they would be the first or last.

A modest PC will run the Dark Souls trilogy well if you're interested in trying them. This is assuming you're interested in upgrading or have a PC at all, mind.

Now that's some shocking news, From Software is still going to be making games on those platforms?
