Ya folks posting this "leaks" drivel really don't have anything better to do with your time, apparently. No games to play?

-Set to release 2 years after Elden Ring

This one is going to be awhile.
 
It's Reddit so always worth taking with a grain of salt but the OP also listed other games FS have done with MS exclusively and, technically speaking, it's more than they've done for Sony so there is precedent if you want to span back a couple of decades.

The premise sounds really cool ngl; if they could do something even remotely close to BLAME! (even if without the license) I'll be there Day 1. That type of atmosphere, setting, story in a Souls-like framework would be extremely awesome.
 
"Again"? What From game was an Xbox exclusive?

How many rumors about stuff like this for Xbox and how often do they end up happening?

I stand corrected. 12 years ago. That's still quite a while ago. Japanese developers are very unlikely to create an exclusive title for a platform that doesn't sell in Japan. Even less likely anymore to do so for a platform that isn't expected to even be close to the market leader this generation and after the performance of the previous one. Add onto that the capital alliance between Sony and Kadokawa and Sony's stock purchase of the company... it's easy to see why people have serious doubts.

How much did the 360 and og Xbox sell compared to PlayStation in Japan?

I said very unlikely. Not that they wouldn't. And since we're talking about it, the 360 actually made significant inroads into the Japanese market early on.
 
So after fromsofts parent company strikes a deal with Sony for gaming they're going to make an xbox exclusive that will be dead on arrival in Japan and have probably half to 1/3 the installed base of the ps5 because...why?

Ninja Blade, Shadow Assault: Tenchu and Chromehounds were all Xbox 360 exclusives by FROM, so there's a history there at least.

Sounds nice but I'm not going to believe in a rumor about a game that's several years away potentially.

Elden Ring being delayed to 2022 is much more believable.
 
I dont think this is happening but atleast we have something to talk about now lol
Find something else to talk about then. Something credible. Not something from fucking Reddit. I could go on there now and talk shit and I could guarantee it would get quoted on this forum.

Christ, you people are fucking idiots.

Just seems really unlikely to me based on their past work for Xbox all being through external publishers with the notable exception of Ninja Blade. Which was not a success for them.

The reality is that FROM as a company was in a far weaker bargaining position back then, their rise really only started with Dark Souls in 2011.
 
According this thread most people think From started their company with Demon Souls lol.

Isn't it more like 8 xbox exclusives?

Wait, you're actually taking stock in a random Reddit account that's barely an hour old and with no source...

Or maybe if you should read the thread where I said multiple times that I don't think it's real...
 
why don't they do it then?
Because they might not deem it worth their time in the long run. Just because you're wealthy doesn't mean you want to waste money. They have bankrolled 2 games from Remedy, Mass Effect, and plenty others including From Software games, yet people think this rumor is far fetched?

Looking back I think it's 9 between OG Xbox and 360. Last game was almost a decade ago. Some people just choose to be ignorant but for many others it has more to do with whether or not it has happened any time recently and it hasn't. It's not that it can't. Just that it's unlikely and this is coming from a totally random source.
