Yes, would play. Focused action adventure game is what I would like to see. People, even after getting so many open world games, keep asking for more. We don't get tightly focused linear adventures anymore and not saying this will be that, but if it is a stand alone action adventure game, I hope it is more focused.

No, I've already started to get tired of their formula, to be honest. Plus I didn't really like Elden Ring, from my point of view it's much weaker than other games in the Solus series and frankly poorly balanced. Well, and I basically don't want to support the trend in the industry when a developer takes existing assets, dumps them on one big map and offers to buy it. Because the industry works on the principle - "Oh, they did it, it's cheap and fast, let's all do it like that" and that's just not enough for me to be completely happy, against the background of endless remakes...

I’ll buy it, for solo play, seems a bit weird tho. Like one of those flashback episodes popular as padding in 90s tv shows.

I'm not a huge From Software guy (only really loved Bloodborne), but this seems like it could be a pretty great co-op time sink with that friend that's WAY into DS.

I'll need to wait for more details.

1. Will there me more areas than limgrave? If not, then I won't buy it.
2. How good does solo/pug work? I expect PUG to be a shitshow, so I will probably not buy it. Solo will probably be pretty lame, I imagine modded Elden Ring to be genuinely more fun (because more areas)

I was absolutely blown away when I watched the trailer for the first time, because it was pure and total sensory and fan service overload, so I loved it. But after reading 2 previews and now knowing what to expect, this is going to be a miss. For a lot of people too, I predict. It doesn't has the depth of a Monster Hunter to keep people playing for MP, nor does it have the depth of a Dead Cells to keep people in for the Roguelike elements. It's basically a glorified multiplayer bossrush, which is about as lame as I can imagine.

I'm honestly disappointed they're doing this. It's great that Miyazaki wants his team to cook, but this is just wasting ressources that could be spent anywhere better, even if it's Dark Souls 2 2.

I would be absolutely thrilled to be wrong about all this and have Nightreign be my GOTY 2025.
 
Nope. It's 100% done by the Shadow of The Erdtree team, Aka Dark Souls 2 team, and most likely has no actual soul in its creation outside of reusing all assets and just adding some shit on top of it. Waiting for their main game.

That would be kind of impressive that they could do both SOTE and this at basically the same time.

Probably not.
As I aleady said in the later thread, I'm still dissapointed with the DLC take.
Also I wasn't even clear what this version of Elden Ring was about. Was it a battle arena? Mmo? Survival multiplayer? Very clear lack of explanation about this version.

Which honestly is freaking sad to me and breaks my heat. Elden Ring is still my 10/10 game, I love it pretty much like most of Fromsoftware games. The DLC though I think it's the lowest From ever gave to me and quite frankly I kinda regret it buying on first day. So I will remain playing the base game as usual and see From on their next project.

IGN Video says that there are other areas and answers some of the questions I've seen posted here.

Where does it say so? I just watched the whole 10 minue thing (well, 5 at 2x>>) because I wanted go give you the benefit of the doubt, allthough I was already pretty sure that claim would have been widely more reported if it had been in fact true.

What has been confirmed is that the map is supposedly gonna go through randomizations. A volcano spawning was mentioned in multiple previews (albeit not in this shit ign one), but I'm not sure if anybody seen that, or the exten of that, yet. Most importantly: that's still just limgrave.

Please don't just post videos without timecodes.

Nah, I'm sick of the Elden Ring IP now.

FromSoft are usually quite savvy about knowing when properties are out-staying their welcome, and then they'll move onto something completely new, but not here. They're going to milk this for all it's worth.

This might genuinely be the first L they'll experience as a games dev.

as bad as Danny Zuko in gym knickers
Bounced off Dark Souls 1, not really my cup of tea, might try again one day. Elden Ring has the same core gameplay, so I've never even considered it.

I'm only interested in it because it's multiplayer.

Didn't really care for Elden Ring outside of the Seamless Co-op mod.

It sounds awful but at the same time Fromsoftware never fail to impress so I’ll see what the general reception is like after release

There's literally a fucking lava area in the trailer.

Calm down buddy.

Loves his juicy stink trail scent
- new areas
- new enemies
- new skills, new armors
- new bosses
- I think some Dark Souls bosses will make appearance

It's only 40 freakin bucks to play spin-off of the GOAT
Ofc I’m gonna buy it. From has a perfect track record.

Idk why people think this will be a bad game. They don’t make those. All different shades of good to great to incredible.

It will still be better than 90% of games released next year, It's more Elden Ring just with a different flavour,you can still play solo and it's only 40 dollars.

Ofc I'm buying it.

In paper: good idea. For non college students tho, aligning 2 friends to play one night is very hard. So possibly no for my 40-something ass.
 
Nah. Dark Souls is probably my favorite game of all time but I'm completely burnt out on the Souls formula at this point. They've beaten it to death in my opinion and Elden Ring had a lot of elements I thought were From at their most obnoxious.

Next From game for me is Armored Core 6 since I haven't gotten around to it yet.
