From Software is developing future games for 2017+ on PS4, PSVR, Xbox One and PC.

PS VR? From's next game will make your living room into your very own Blighttown. Because the vomit. You'll vomit all over the floor. And it'll be poison like the swamp at the bottom of Blighttown. Because vomit is nasty.

I think the main reason to doubt Bloodborne 2 is that Miyazaki has spent about nine months now talking about how he wants From to focus on things that aren't like Dark Souls for the next ~5 years or so even if it's a bad business decision, because he feels it's good for the company creatively.
Did he use the words "even if it's a bad business decision?" Just curious.
 
Well, hopefully Souls has given them the budget and experience to make great games outside of that realm. But then again, Kinect Steel Battalion was after DS too...

On the video it doesn't say it's a new IP, the reddit title is wrong.

I'm betting on Armored Core, it's gonna be huge in VR.

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.

DS3 felt uncomfortably like a contractual obligation to me. Its good, but it does the absolute minimum in terms of creativity and content; Miyazaki is too good to just "phone it in", so its a very competently assembled piece - but its a game that is utterly mired in its past glories and adds nothing to the series.

Its shortcomings aren't immediately apparent, I'm sure most people will have a blast on their first run through - but once they get into ng+ and beyond it becomes very apparent how thin and samey it is content-wise.

There was an opportunity to test an "upcoming FROMSoftware VR title" at work not too long ago (last year some time). Unfortunately I couldn't make it, but this seems to line up with that.

Cool, did anyone give you any impressions about it(like if they enjoyed it or not)?

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.



I mean, I knew that, but...


Excuse me while I go cry.
 
I'll follow From to the edge of the earth. Very hyped about whatever they're doing. But all the souls game begging is annoying, let them do something new.

If they are contractually obligated to do two more Sony exclusives I hope they are Demon's 2 and Bloodborne 2 and then From can make any new IP multiplatform.

The "..." is most likely for the PS4K. If I recall, From Software has avoided Nintendo platforms since the audience that From caters to doesn't really exist with Nintendo's audience.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
It'd be interesting if one title is PS4 exclusive and another is X1 exclusive. I was thinking the other night if MS really wants to make a new Phantom Dust that From might be the perfect dev for it.

Really though, when was the last time FROM made a good game that wasn't Souls?

Years have passed since demon souls, maybe they now know how to develop other games that are no Souls games?

I think Miyazaki is confident enough From has the skills to make a great new series otherwise he wouldn't have said so firmly he wants to try a new IP. Let them experiment with some new things.
 
Their games are a fucking mess on console. You can't deny that.

You can't deny that the majority of console gamers will have no clue wtf you're talking about. Just cause you're overly sensitive to stuff normal people won't even notice. The absurd majority will play the game and love it..see a frame rate hitch or probably won't and keep on playing...whereas you'll put the controller down have a coniption fit...say its a mess..post on a msg board..etc..you're the minority.

But they have developed several non-Souls games since Demon's, and they're all garbage. I'll believe they can make a non-Souls game that doesn't suck when I see it.

Last gen, I loved 3D Dot Game Heroes and Ninja Blade. I'm an AC and Soulsborne fan, but I enjoy other games From makes too. That doesn't stop me from also wanting more Souls though. :)

For me, DaS3 seemed like a return to form while using the best elements of prior Souls games. I'd welcome more of that. The only worrisome point for me would be if Miyazaki stayed way hands off. He seems like he needs a break though and wants From to diversify more, so no need to force it.

Take some time away, think about how much money you're leaving on the table, and just let Bluepoint handle the Demon's Souls remaster in the meantime :D

Pretty sure this will be a new IP guys.

Don't know why so many seem to be expecting just another kingsfield or Armored Core. It could very well be a mecha game, but that doesn't mean it'll be an Armored Core "reboot", From has worked on multiple mecha titles.I don't see it being anything like Kingsfield either, first person dungeon crawlers are deader than mecha games. I don't see them putting a bunch of resources into taking a chance that big.

Here's hoping for at least a CG trailer at this year's E3.
 
I cant wait to see what they do next. Playing the Souls games for the last 5 years has been incredible for me (god... its been that long already).

Since they don't show Sony exclusives I hope they're already doing something new for PS4 by now.

Since their inception?
Armored Core has always been at least good. As has Shadow Tower. Echo Night on PSX is one of those hidden gems on PSX. King's Field has been variable quality. Ninja Blade was underrated fun. Their PS2 output was full of underrated gems like survival horror games such as Kuon and Echo Night Beyond. Otogi series is damned amazing. Games like Lost Kingdom, Chromehounds and Metal Wolf Chaos have cult followings (not played these yet myself). Even their licensed stuff like Another Century's Episode are supposed to be good. Then there's their Yoshitsune Eiyūden games on PS2 which are samurai action/strategy games with artwork by Yoji Shinkawa (of Metal Gear fame). So I'd say plenty of games.

How can anyone dislike them for wanting to diversify their portfolio again with varied IP?
