What are you expecting to see from FromSoftware this year?
- Thread starter Mifec
- Start date
I wish Miyazaki would just straight out license Berserk instead of tiptoeing around it with homages.
I remember one of his older posts, Omni said Deracine is that the weird game, but Miyazaki declines it. I'm trusting Omni more than Miyazaki lol.
It'd be like a Sekiro but with a big sword and strength instead of an agile katana!
And hand cannons and throwing knives and exploding caltrops and for a guy with one hand carrying a big slab of iron, Guts can parry just as good as Wolf can.
I can tell you that From's approach to game design is essentially:
So... like from DeS to DS ? Or biggest gap ?
Wolf is literally Katana Guts. Dude's even got the fake arm.
Ahh im even excited about minor stuff like finding out about the title. Will it be something souls ?? Are they done with that suffix???
Still cant wrap my head around what omni meant with "what could from have done differently"

Same boat. I dont think miyazaki counting deracine as half a game deconfirms it.
looking like it'll be their new Knights IP, but expecting a bigger gap in combat + minor one in traversal
I just hope they adapt posture and deflect mechanics to shield, armor and bigger/slower weapons and make a Dark Souls game with it, plus jumping/better/faster traversal and a new name/ip. And more daylight maps too, less dungeons.
Maybe classes that affect posture stats and traversal speed/weight but just inventory builds, levels and numbers everywhere can fuck off after (having played) Sekiro. :)

Yeah, that's crazy. Though I don't know how he personally feels about Sekiro after playing it, so maybe he's not that into it, but personally I just love it more and more, can't stop playing. Just started a level 1 run last night.> when you see that Omnipotent seems to be more excited for this reveal than Sekiro's
It's consuming me.
I really hope they still have time for Sekiro DLC even with this project in full development.
I don't think I had this much fun with an open world action/adventure since Batman Arkham City as I'm having with Sekiro.
While I understand that From's next title is likely to be more of a traditional RPG, I do hope they consider some of the traversal mechanics they've created here for those titles. Character builds and loot aren't incompatible with a fun traversal system-games as far back as Darksiders II did it.

As someone whose favourite fromsoft games are Dark Souls 1, Bloodborne and Sekiro, I hope it's a new ip/reimagining of an old IP.
If you think that's the best possible outcome then perhaps you need to think more creatively 👀
If it is something like Sekiro then I'll be disappointed, while it was great it didn't give me my Souls fill which I really need.
We are thinking on the basest of planes. What we need, are more eyes.
Is this previous message of mine creative enough? And/or approximated to the next announcement?
I wouldn't be surprised if that crackpot GOT rumor and the game Microsoft is teasing is real, it would be different. At least it wouldn't be called Dark souls 4, but the books definitly have some lovecraft bullshit in there to exploit and enough landmass that the show would never go to.
People would be the most stoked with a multiplayer game since that has longevity going for it,

Really ? Which books have lovecraftian things ? I would like to read if they have some. Only watched the show lol.
So is this is you vs Era where Era is sucking out your insights?
What's your favorite idea? Mine is being creative. How do you get the idea? I just try to think creatively.
I have a feeling these 2 are hinting at the same idea
What's there that From could have done with past souls titles that will be pressent here?
The books have a decent amount of mystic lore and some fairly low-key magic/mysticism with the whole "ancient powers are stirring/magic is coming back" vibe, but as of book 5 I don't recall any eldritch monstrosities.
I recently read the first entry in another series, "The Long War" by A. J. Smith. That series (Book 1 is called The Black Guard) has been described as "GRRM meets Cthulhu" and that's a fairly apt description of certain aspects of it.
Back on topic: has FromSoft ever expressed interest in adapting literary licenses before?
Maybe omni meant what it is that From could have done with the swimming/diving systems in sekiro?
I'm pretty sure some of the traversal systems from sekiro will translate here, maybe not the ones that add too much verticality like climbing or double jump as that seems to be critical to what makes sekiro different
Also dont really see knights jumping or even swimming but maybe here we mostly wear rags and cloth
AHHHHHHHHH eyes on the inside
Dont mind me, just omw to paint a cold, dark and gentle world :)

Battle Royales or always online shared open worlds. Or some other asymmetric seamless anonymous multiplayer shit where we control the bad guys on other people's game. Or it's a fucking fps. Or it's just Dance Dance Souls.
It's probably going to be
How amazing would it be if, Fromsoft releases a new patch for DS3, that adds the painting she was working on, teasing the next dark fantasy game through the art...

Oh god please no.
I love multiplayer in fromsoft games but I hope we have the option to play it completely sp just like previous games.
I kind of want most of that rumor to be true. This sounds pretty good to me:
– Bandai Namco would publish the game. (Multiplat, which we know is the case)
– Set in a fully open world. (Ambitious, different)
– Visit different kingdoms in any order. (Each kingdom having a unique and distinct setting would be amazing)
– New abilities as a reward to defeat each leader of these kingdoms
I want FROM to write their own stuff cause they do weird shit and that's amazing, keep the licensed properties away. Martin being part of the project would create some headlines for sure but I believe it when I see it. The amount of love for mechs in here is something else, I don't want any of that stuff near this project even though it's part of that studios DNA. Give me grotesque huge monsters not giant robots.
I'm sure they like many other big companies working on multiple projects share a lot of resources with each other so I'm fully expecting ideas and maybe even mechanics from Sekiro make it into this project. If it is truly open world, for the love of god let there be something we can mount.

The companion book that has all that bullshit that is more interesting than the main plot:https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/The_World_of_Ice_&_Fire
Euron greyjoy basically just wants to resurect an Old God from the sea in the books at least, and the companion book about the history of the world has info about distant continents and lands that are literally named after Lovecraft stuff and really weird nonsense.
It'd be totally new to have areas with various living npcs
Im in for that but would also be cool if these kingdoms are mostly desolate, also more in line with how low population their games are lol
Maybe this might be the game where Ty Franck helped writing the lore?? Totally agree with you, they are better off creating their own worlds and IPs but maybe he just helped with fleshing out lore that the guys at From thought of.
The GRRM doesnt make any sense.
Think you are safe here, no reason to include mechs when they are already working on an armored core title.
there's space for some light sci fi stuff, not really my thing but im open minded about it. There are some great settings that mix both styles, like Angels Egg or the book of the new sun series
Sure, I like the sense of loneliness and mystery in their games. Even though I loved Sekiro, it's environments felt more warm, beautiful and grounded than something that you find in Dark Souls. The dark and gritty feel of Dark Souls is what I prefer.
I'm fine with that and feel a bit relieved that Miyazaki called this project very much a "Fromsoft-esque game".
Have like zero interest for mechs and with AC at least I know what I'm getting into, If they aren't creating some kind of souls-mech hybrid.
My dream From software game right now is a horror-esque arpg in a sci-fi setting. I want to temper my expectations, so I highly doubt they're working anything like that, but maybe someday. I at least hope that From's next arpg is a bit weird and has that mystery element
