I play good games.
Miyazaki makes great games as does Nintendo.

Seems the vast majority are not enthused about a mp From game from what I see. Didn't we get a similar reaction about Nightreign?

But we don't even know what that means btw, they said it is multiplayer focused we don't have any idea what it is, shouldn't we wait a bit and see what the core idea is first?

I still think this game can be good and I'm keeping an open mind about it. But it being multiplayer is a huge letdown no matter how 'innovative' it is.
I think most people think like this is a moneky paw situation for Switch owners.
The cherry on top would be if it came out GKC only.
Also: Nintendo paid the development of The Wonderful 101, Fatal Frame 4, Lego City Undercover and Devil's Third and that didn't kept those away from other platforms (although Devil's third campaing remains exclive... nobodiy clamoring for it regardless).

That's up to you, but others can react to it being "multiplayer focused" and that doesn't make it necessarily about being "nintendo exclusive".

Wrong… Only for Devils Third.

Satoru Iwata is executive producer The Wonderful 101 and Lego City. Fatal Frame IP was co-owned by Nintendo at the time of Fatal Frame 4 development.

This is looking like a flop

Yeah at least it would have been a proper game with somewhat acceptable performance like with Bloodborne and Demon's Souls.
This game being developed basically for PS4 equivalent console and it being 8ppl multiplayer only just screams a massive flop. You know this game is gonna run 480p30fps max when those 8 players are on screen fighting. No one wants that shit from a studio like FromSoftware and multiplayer game in 2026.

With the small install base and being a MP focused game, the player base will drop by 80% in a month.
Even if they release for other platforms later, FromSoftware doesn't do crossplay and it will end up with the Nightreign queuing problem.
Nightreign was fun for a month, then it fizzled out, FromSoftware doesn't have the capacity to produce content at the rate needed for this sort of semi-live service game.

Just like most of the PS5 catalog
I don't know the exact resolution it will run at. The only thing I know is that Swicth 2 has DLSS.

Flopping in sales… probably… But a Nintendo console is about to get a Miyazaki exclusive game… That's more important, at least for me.

I'm not excited anymore. I fear what kind of performance we will get from From on the switch 2. I can't go back to 30 fps

We don't know nothing about the technical aspects of the game… Like i said, is a Miyazaki project… That guy doesn't fail.

We know the specs of the Switch 2 .
For 8 players + enemies at 60fps you get ps2/ps3 graphics, at 30fps you get ps3/Ps4 graphics.
FromSoftware is the last developer you can expect technical miracles.

The trailer shown during the Switch 2 presentation was 30 fps.
Their PS4 games run at 30fps, tracks with what Switch 2 would get.

yup.
Nightreign is online only and yet, people let it slip by, they just ignore it, but Duskblood, it's getting raging hate everytime there's news about it, and you know exactly which group butthurt the most by Duskblood exclusivity

What are you talking about?
Nightreign got tons of hate because it is an asset flip of memberberries.
The dislike Duskbloods is getting is from the focus in MP, which is exactly what players don't want from FromSoftware and another of the reasons Nightreign got hate until they balanced the solo play, although it's very clear that some encounters are made specifically for 2/3 players.

Nightreign is not directed by Miyazaki.
People feel like him directing a multiplayer game is more of a waste since Soulslike fans like singleplayer stuff from him, undestandably frustrating.
Being exclusive and in an underpowered console just adds to that I think.

That isn't true. Nightreign received a good amount of pushback for being coop.

We don't know yet… Waiting for official information… The only thing that's 100% confirmed is that this game have a lot of people nervous

Every time we assume lukewarm sales on a title, it hits record numbers by default
I love this place but we're an echo chamber

He's put some degree of online into every title as far back as I can remember. It's clearly a focus for him. Let him cook.

Having a multiplayer component is different from having no singleplayer component, the latter being the main issue.

MP focus is not equal to MP only, By just watching the trailer is obvious that the game has story elements and bosses that probably can be played alone with CPU driven companions or real players… Something like Monster Hunter games but more story heavy.

It sounds like even those who tend to shy away from PvP can still enjoy themselves.
Miyazaki:
That was the intention. I personally am not much of a PvP person, and I wanted to make something that's satisfying even for players like me.
While the goal of a match is to obtain First Blood, there are personal objectives that provide separate rewards to the player as well, so I hope these add to the fun of each engagement.

Nightreign was a huge success though. All Fromsoft games are multiplayer. We don't know much about THIS game.
Honestly, it's mostly about Nintendo hate.
Same thing happened with Hades 2.
Totally ignored in most places(not by gamers on steam though) because it isn't on Playstation.
This is how we have always handled exclusives from other companies. We just forgot. Shit gets REAL quiet when a good exclusive skips Playstation. Crickets. Hades 2 and this game are easily 2 of the most impressive 3rd party console exclusives ever to be made. So yeah, I can't pretend this general atmosphere of sadness and butthurt is about multiplayer. Remember when Rise of the Tomb Raider was a timed exclusive on Xbox, lol? This is reminiscent of that.

It 100% did. People were comparing it to a GaaS BR or an extraction game and were not keen on it, at all.

So lets judge before experience.
Its the BAYO situation all over again.
People HATE that FROMSOFT is making AN NINTENDO EXCLUSIVE. be it single player or multiplayer. New IP.
And it might end up like Bayonetta 2 situation

We know this game has a multiplayer "focus". No, all Fromsoft games do not have that focus. In the past, From have incorporated coop and online aspects into single player focused games. If Duskbloods has the exact same online components as past Fromsoft games then you might have a point, but that's just not the case and you know it.
Most here are explicitly pointing to the multiplayer focus of the game so you can guys can gaslight each other into this "Nintendo hate" narrative all you want, but I'm just not going to ignore what people are actually saying.
Hades 2 being on fewer platforms means the game gets less attention. Shocking. Were you under the impression Hades 2 was going to be a system seller or just more gaslighting?
Pretty easy for folks who don't like multiplayer to judge a multiplayer game as something they don't want to play.

If it was another dev, no. But FromSoftware has the magic ability to make games run like shit on any hardware, and the weaker the hardware the worst it is with them.
