Have Sony foot the bill for all their research into next-gen game engines. Then stay at that graphical level for multi-plats. Pretty much their routine, so this wouldn't be surprising to me. It's a smart routine.

Does Déraciné not count as one of the 3?

Glad I bought a PS5 if real.

Good point, I hope not.

That's why a lot of bands release greatest hits albums and live albums; to get out of poor contracts.

Good, leave it as it is one and done. It's perfect that way.

A little 5-hour VR game, maybe doesn't count as a full length for the deal. We'll see if this rumor turns out true.

Eh but this isn't a poor contract.

If the contract even exists. We don't know if FROM makes more from a multi-plat title or a PS exclusive. It's all 100% speculation anyway. Depends how much Sony pays them.

pretty much expected but why no bloodborne 2? does it always have to be a new ip? than again, that is the same way we got bloodborne so maybe they could top it with an even better new ip

Some bleak sci-fi themed stuff in the vein of Niheis Blame! would be awesome, but if it's Dark Fantasy/Gothic Horror again no problem (even if it is just a Bloodborne remaster lol).

Yes.
Let their imagination run wild.
I hope they make something sci fi this time, to counter Starfield.

Their multiplatform games vastly outsell their exclusives. Sony would have to pay a buttload of money to make it worthwhile for them.

Wouldn't Déraciné factor into that?

Glad that they will make something new, too bad that's again Soulslike. Cobbler, stick to your last i guess. Just not my genre.

I consider Bloodborne the best game ever made but I'd still be glad if they never make a sequel to it. There is just no need for it.
What I do hope is that Sony gets their ass up and finally releases a polished 60 fps version of the game on PS5.

I just hope Sony helps with the technical aspects this time, maybe loans them the Demon`s Souls engine or something.
I love From`s design, but they`ve never been good with the technical aspects of their games. Not just overall visual quality but specifically framepacing and FPS stability, things you can bruteforce or fix on PC, but not on console.

Bloodborne is great on its own. It just needs a few updates for the PS5 though, still hoping for these in the future.
A new game is very much welcome and would be a pleasant surprise as i didn't actually believe in another collaboration. Still i hope it goes in the horror direction again. Bloodborne was way more creepy and scary than most other horror titles these days

shouldnt be an issue. its not like sony spend a shit ton on aquisitions. they make most of their investments in timed/full 3rd party exclusives and marketing rights for the big ones like call of duty, fifa and gta.

Xdev is now in Japan which is basically what Japan Studio was.

I'm starting to think there's enough Souls games out there…. Would be great for From Software to try another direction

Just like when Bloodborne came out great and Dark Souls II came out.. well you know. This time we'll have to see which one is the Dark Souls II, either Elden Ring or this new game.

But I need a sequel for one of the best games ever made!

Yeah, no.
No one ever tells Nintendo to move on from Mario or Zelda, why should From move on when you can count their "Souls" games on one hand?

Probably not as much of an issue anymore now that Sony games are getting PC ports.

This was also the case when they made Bloodborne

Not really. When they started making Bloodborne, Dark Souls 1 was selling okay but it wasn't the mega hit it is today. The PC version was actually pretty trash and sales were accordingly somewhat low.

There's Demon's Souls (which also just got a remake), 3 Dark Souls games, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring incoming. Now allegedly another one. Add in all the genre copycats, it's not like there's a shortage. I'd like to see something fresh.

A couple of last gen games. We have yet to see if they will port any current gen games or wait for PS6 to do that. Returnal could have sold more if it was also a PC title given the small PS5 user base so far but Sony understands the need for exclusives not just to move consoles but to give the brand it's identity.
