From Software teases new project (Teaser TGA 2017)
- Thread starter HStallion
- Start date
60 pages over a 10 second teaser thirsty enough to make people think they're seeing a Kunai on it too
A lot of people don't want it to be Bloodborne 2 because it'll be a PS4 exclusive. But I would be happy if it was a multiplatform game because I have a good PC. Either way I'll be a happy customer :)
If this is Tenchu, I'm going to guess they're basically going to make it a Soulsborne game with a Japanese aesthetic.
The more I think about it the more I think it's going to be something new and unexpected. Definitely looks to be horror inspired. Maybe even a Tenchu inspired game given what we know from the teaser (kunai, Japanese characters)
But I'm still Demon Souls -> Dark Souls, Bloodborne -> "Shadows Die Twice". I don't think FromSoftware makes another Bloodborne game, maybe ever.

This would be far and away the most disappointing thing this could be for me.
Why? It sounds kinda awesome to me, especially since we've had five games based on European aesthetics. It'd be nice of From to switch it up if they want to continue the Soulsborne formula.
This is how I feel. I'd be happy with a Bloodborne 2, but I hope for a new IP. And I consider Bloodborne the best game ever. I guess I just don't care for sequels that much.
Wait what. Source? You mean the scrawl in the background was translated as that? There are no words, otherwise...
"Shadows die twice."
"Shadows" makes me think Tenchu. "Die" makes me think Soulsborne.
Yeah, but outside of gameplay, it isn't really that similar to Soulsborne. We still don't have a true Japanese-set Soulsborne.
Just my guess. From software's next game will be Armored core. IIRC it was stated to be in development by Miyazaki a long time ago. The game from the trailer will launch later.
Because we just got Nioh, and will get Ghost of Tsushima by the time. Oversaturation of a niche market. Besides, Soulsborne games, while based on European aestethics, never felt restrained in design, it's the gameplay formula that got old.

Nah nioh is Diablo with a combo based combat system with stamina.
Except not nearly as good or inspired, everything in Nioh was very mediocre and repetitive other than the combat system.
The combat system is fun, but gets old very quickly as you are always fighting that 5 types of enemies over and over again.
No, it isn't. It has three elements that are similar the rest of the game is totally different.
Hmmm... didn't get old for me. Ki Pulse is a game changer. Nioh Combat is just so much better than Souls combat, that nothing else mattered IMO
That's how I felt. Very different approach to combat as well. If anything people approaching it from a Souls perspective are going to miss a lot of what makes it excel. If they can ignore the label people have lumped it with and approach the combat from a character-action perspective instead there is one of the deepest combat systems in any game.
The thing with Nioh for me is that I don't like the art direction... I've been going through it extremely slowly since I bought it on release - I'm only in the third region. The art style is just so... Dark and drab to me - it's pretty uninteresting to look at. What I like about the Souls games is that despite the fact that the colours tend to be quite muted, they still have a wide variety of interesting and sometimes breathtaking sceneries that just make them interesting to explore. Nioh just misses the mark there for me. Not a fan of the repeated levels and the loot either but if the game was visually appealing I don't think I would care that much.

I feel you. If you love Souls for the lore, vistas and level design... yeah, Nioh will not click with you.
By contrast, I loved the Soulsborne games mostly because of the combat system and hated the secret doors, cryptic messages and never cared for the lore.
Nioh basically gives you a small map, tells you: go there and let's you go crazy with the combat. Then you get loot and do it all over on the same (or similar) map.
If you are into the combat, you will have no problems to fight Onrokis again and again and again. Nioh is like a combat sports game in that sense.
Just like GC- said, Nioh is all about action and was never trying to compete with Souls.

so did someone pull this out of their ass or is there a source from this
Haha, it shows just how passionate FromSoftware fans & Soulborne fans are, if the teaser was from Ubisoft I doubt anyone would give a shit.
I can understand the Bloodborne hunger, but I'm craving Armored Core pretty bad. Seems like they're intent on being vague with their intentions for an eternity :). Could be worse though, if they've just left the series completely untouched - there seems at least an intention to do something with the franchise again.
okay so the source on that translation claim seems to be an unsourced post on r/bloodborne
so it's probably bullshit

I voted completely new IP in the poll thing. As much as I love Souls and Bloodborne I think From wants to move on.
I'm hoping it's bloodborne but since it seems to be set in Japan, I hope it keeps the lovecraftian element rather than dark spirits because it nees to be different from Nioh.
I voted Tenchu only because I'm a Tenchu stan.
I've been whining about a new one for so many years.
If it's not, which I'm guessing is the case. Hopefully Sucker Punch delivers on that itch.

I'm always very curious about the period of time at Fromsoftware beginning with the release of Dark Souls in 2011 and culminating with the release of Dark Souls 3 in 2016. After a relatively quick turnaround on Dark Souls (released 17 months after Demon's Souls), there was a 2.5 period with no releases, followed by yearly releases every March for three years (DS2, BB, DS3). Of course they weren't working on DS2 for 2.5 years and then BB and DS3 for one year each… so I wonder how the development processes went for those three games. Were DS2 and Bloodborne being worked on in parallel? Perhaps the DS2 team began work on DS3 and then the Bloodborne team joined them after the game released in 2015? Do we have any concrete information about how development went during this period?
Perhaps they are in another such period of simultaneous development now, having alluded to three games in development (dark fantasy RPG, Armored Core, something new). A release in Fall 2018 would be 2.5 years after DS3, and could be the beginning of another amazing run of games from From.

Except for that whole gameplay thing.
Combat alone makes Nioh its own thing.
I would also be disappointed to see Soulsborne mechanics in a Tenchu game. How the hell would a stealth action Ninja game even work in the mold?
