    Why would Miyazaki let us down, every game he directed is a classic

    Thats true but I dont believe in blindly following. Also first game published with Nintendo.

    We also know nothing of its size and I need to get a switch 2 for it. Sorry that I am not hyped about blindly paying 500€ for a game I havent seen

    Kinda from soft / nintendo fault they have shown so little

    Thats fine, but why count a game out like that before you get the necessary info to make such comments.
    Its a passion project for miyazaki, he's been working on this for at least 6 years and its gone through the most playtesting in their catalog, i doubt its a small project unworthy of attention. This is a project of the importance of sekiro, bloodborne and demon's souls, not a small VR or low budget experiment

    I have a feeling that people are underestimating this game because of its multiplayer focus. I keep seeing this thinking that multiplayer games are inherently inferior and less artistic than single player games but its bullshit. Game mechanics are art as much as story is (not that this game wont have a story, at least according to miyazaki).
    The first thing this game's reveal of multiplayer focus was relief that a great game director isnt resting on his laurels, despite arguably having earned the right to do so, and subsequent curiosity in the approach and results. He's been accused a lot of making the same games with souls, so im glad he switched it up.
    But i already know im fighting a losing battle

    Well he hasnt been working actively on this in the interviews its pretty obvious its an idea mashing project. Which we just kinda had with Nightreign.

    I enjoyed that too but not all ideas worked there either its a mixed bag and I didnt have to get an entire console

    He's literally the director? And the entire game's concept including it being multiplayer was his idea he got from playing escape from tarkov

  • The fate series inspiration is also very clear and he's a fate fanboy like this is one of the most miyazaki coded projects we've gotten from him in a while

    Meant to say working on this actively since he mentioned he wouldnt have done it without Nintendo showing interest for a switch 2 exclusive much later

    That’s just Fromsoft’s MO. They drop a teaser then cook on their own time

    I agree. People are being ridiculous. Game looks freaking badass regardless of whether it's multiplayer focused or not. The atmosphere, the character models and the monsters all got Bloodborne and Elden Ring vibes but folks be denying all that just because of the multiplayer focus (which by the way doesn't automatically exclude it from having a single player option). They throwing out the baby with the bathwater and I think it's unwarranted.

    I’m so curious what From’s got planned for it’s next proper single player title.

    Feel like they’re either gonna straight up do an Elden Ring 2 or go in a radically different direction and either drastically alter the soulsborne formula or move on from it entirely.

    Elden Ring (+ Erdtree) just felt so much like the accumulation of all their previous work that I can’t see how they top it.

    I honestly keep forgetting this exists because I've seen/heard so little about it since the initial announcement.

    Hopefully it doesn't get delayed.

    I can see them doing more linear stuff for a while given how massive of an undertaking Elden Ring was

    holy f*** how did I miss this

  • Yoshi and duskbloods back to back we’re about to be eating

  • maxxing

    holy f*** how did I miss this

    Its nothing much really, there's no release date or price or anything. It probably means we'll see it soon though

    it’s not any one games job to sell you on a console, wait until it feels right to buy it, maybe years from now when there’s a lot of good games. That’s valid imo

    Personally I bought it day one lol but I’m a fanboy

    I respect anyone waiting though, it’s pretty dry right now but that will change soon

  • Can't wait to buy this and can't play it with my boys who love fromsoft s***, gonna be flexin hard. Can't stream it on discord neither. Hope I like it, I think the only From joints I've got into was ac6 and nightreign
