Admittedly, being a public insider, and the resident From insider in particular is a massive headache and has no shortage of frustrations and annoyances and is otherwise a large time commitment as I spend a lot of time working on the stuff that you guys see as well as stuff you don't. There has been more than a few times where I've considered just walking away entirely as it's often, honestly more trouble than it's worth.
It's always nice to have long time lurkers join in on the conversation, it's always surprising to me to know that people have been following my stuff since the beginning. Didn't really expect things to end up here way back at TGA 2017, it's been a rocky ride but I'm hoping all the worst of it is behind us.
If I really wanted to instigate senseless nonsensical violence I'd sooner have it be brand loyalists facing off against eachother in the ring to prove the superiority of their corporate overlord of choice's products lol
I've been lurking since like page 60 and joined around page 80. Was on reddit for a while trying to engage in conversation with people, starting speculation threads on different topics weekly, etc. Just didn't like where the subreddit was heading and figured I can engage in much more mature, meaningful conversations here. Sure it gets a bit screwy with people having their own conversations amongst each other and what not but I can really appreciate this thread and all its active members tremendously. A big thank you to not only you, Omni, but all the active posters. It's because of this thread I can deal with the building hype and lack of info.
How about if I challenge Miyazaki to a kendo duel?
I remember the first time i heard about ''Omnipotent'' a FromSoftware insider leaking stuff about ''shadows die twice'' was on this video from Prod, 2 years ago:
Thanks for being a fun person to "hang out" with! I look forward to experiencing more of your nomadic-ancient-ruin-dweller point of view 😉
That'd be interesting if it was the surface that was ancient ruins of the past and under ground was the newer civilization. The trailer could be basically the end of the world as they knew it and what we saw was the last bit of struggle after the Elden Ring was shattered and threw everything into chaos.I expect something newer, like the depths of the sea or something more ethereal like a kind of hell from the myths of this universe. Something like this.
I wonder if Game Informer will do interviews of the development of the game as they did with the Sekiro.
I just wished you had more breadcrumbs from the hype pizza, but you probably weren't prepared either to the stretched wait for official news so it's fine like that.
They've got no real reason to continue story threads, as they will want to modernize the IP including appealing it to an international market. Maybe all the noise about Metal Wolf showed that there is a market that could be open to their more grounded mecha games. Miyazaki has name dropped escaflowne before, things could go wild in a potential reboot with that setting in mind. Giving it a modern Fromsoft touch is an explicit mission statement, i'd be stoked for a world that's more than just desserts and ruins.
Speaking as someone from Europe: nope. They are not easy to find. Cost a lot too. I don't think they're on the PSN store.
Thanks. I sure missed the boat on that one. Oh well I guess it will remain a mystery for me.
I wouldn't put my hopes into that, Miyazaki has said they have no plans to do anything like that with Armored Core. Modernize, yes, but I wouldn't expect anything that radical for the series.
Yeah I honestly can't really see or imagine myself ever posting anywhere else. I won't say that this place is perfect and I have plenty of my own issues(see below) but it's still vastly better than most places when it comes to genuine discussion (provided that there aren't bad actors messing with discussion). It's also nice to be able to trust in the administration here which is the only reason I'm able to do what I do here and I can't see something like what we've got here being cultivated elsewhere, at least when it comes to forums. It also helps that we have a number of really great posters here that do a lot for discussion and community as well. I'm glad that you did end up coming over and it could be a bit of a place of refuge for you and I'd encourage any current lurkers that feel similarly to come over and join us here. Quality posters and passionate fans are always welcome.
Would you really want to challenge the man behind Sekiro to a sword fight?

Yeah things have not really gone according to plan to say the least lol, but at this point I think I've covered all the things I'm willing to cover and I don't really even know what else I could really do at this point without going into detail on stuff or making actual leaks, which obviously isn't really something I want. So we're all going to have to sit tight for now, but good things come to those who wait and I'm feeling particularly positive about the future, so hopefully no more road bumps from here on out. Hopefully

I know there will not be a DLC for the Sekiro because it has been a long time since the game came out, but this image still causes me doubts, the trees are not the same and the idol is in a different location. so what? Is it an old image of the development of the game or at some point it changes and nobody noticed?
Wait a minute Omni, do you work in person at the office in From?
This is actually incredible. I'm a huge tekken fan (I'm sure you can tell by my avatar). Miyazaki a tekken fan? Man I needed this picture in my life
Yeah this was the best picture of E3. Miyazaki with the K.O after the entire Namco lineup leaked.
If you check the marketing/interviews from back when it was released, there does seem to be a focus on the openness of the areas. I'm guessing Elden Ring was in pre production at this point, and they used Ariandel because of how disconnected it is from the rest of the world.
Well it wouldn't even just be a gaming industry thing, the restrictions were put in place as a safety measure put in place by the Japanese government. But it should be over by the end of this month. But of course if the situation worsens again and case numbers as well as outbreaks start going up then I imagine it'll be back to square one. The whole ordeal has seem to hit some companies far more than others which is a bit of a bummer for some stuff I was looking forward to but safety of workers > videogames.
holy crap this looks amazing! i played DS3 on ps4 for a good long while, but seeing the stuff people are doing with mods makes me want to get it on pc too
❤❤❤
Absolutely. Always such a magical time seeing that communal progression and discoveries popping up everywhere.
I'll watch the trailers but other than that I'll try to stay away from Elden Ring discussions/videos. I enjoy going blind my first playthrough and then on the second I'll probably start looking at what the community has discovered. What's most exciting to me is the fact that this is a brand new world we're entering with new lore, characters, etc. From really is on another level with their world building and immersion so having that first experience blind is truly something special.
