What are they cooking right now?
>>743298260Nigtendo own them now.
>>743298260Layoffs after Elden Ring was confirmed a flop
>>743298260Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice II
>>743298260FROM SLOPWARE
>>743298260Likely something that is a slight deviation from the standard dark souls formula, like sekiro or bloodborne.
Insider here. I don't think the gaming world is ready for what's coming next from them.
>>743298260your mom
>>743298583Can I join
>>743298579ethots?
>>743298579>rei misato asuka
>>743298260probably er2 for ps6 (digital only)
>>743298260They're adapting Mein Kampf after the recent shenanigans from Oasis.
>>743298260Dark Souls IVit's obvious, after elden ring's popularity, apparent abandoning of dark souls and the current nostalgia bait trend
>>743298260Probably dinner, it's already evening in Japan.
I just beat AC6 and wish it was a sequel to that
>>743298260If it's up to them? Something different, but not that different like Duskbloods. They seem to be in an "experimental" era right now. If it's up to the company that owns them in Japan, most likely ER2 since Kadokawa is getting heavy pressure to capitalize on the IP due to a shareholder breathing down their neck.
Pork chop sandwiches
>>743298579Tenchu with sex mechanics?
>>743298260Hopefully some more Armored Core stuff. I just got my first ending, the Fires of Raven, about 90minutes ago.I haven't experienced this level of pure kino since the first time I played Metal Gear Rising.
>>743298260They haven't made a great game since sekiro 7 years ago and in that time period they have only released 1 good game with AC6. I don't know whose idea it was to focus on trash games but if they keep waiting to produce high effort games they are going to lose the ability to make anything exceptional
>>743298260>>743298389>>743298425>>743298442You guys are fucking retarded
>>743299479I've been waiting for AC VIctory over Rubicon for a while. Take us back to expansion packs with save file transfers for a harder experience since you're expected to bring your previous units into it.
Some dumb rollschlop for babbies
>>743298260Their next AI generated Dark Souls clone>aaa Craudu, puto Darku Soulsu but pirato settignu>ANOTHET 10/10 MASTERPIECE BY MIYAZAKI HOW DOES HE DO ITTTTT???
>>743298260Nothing. People hate them and their output so they decided to focus on low effort multiplayer games.
>>743299479>>743299571It's not happening for a few years at least. More likely half a decade or more.
>>743299601Cry more, troon.
>>743300079Ironic since the "franchise" is filled with troonshit
>>743298260Assets from their last software
>>743300126Nice try.
>>743300167xD
>>743299506They make the games they want.
>>743300126we play videogames heredunno what troonshit you are talking about
>>743300014Considering they're still working on Duskbloods and they're getting pressured to do more Elden Ring, this makes sense.
>>743300210Did you know that videgame characters are not real? You are creating a character with a gender and then you change that gender.This has nothing to do with gender theory or transgenderism. You are retarded.
>>743300291>>743300210xDDD
>>743300306But why would they even want to make more right now? They just made one. They are a studio that wants to do new things.
I was pretty prepared for AC6 to just be scifi souls that I'm surprised they haven't tried to do scifi souls. Also I hope they work Night reigns movement tech into future games. Duskbloods might have something like that.That said that's two games in a row of a quasi hero system. I hope they go back to a more free build system and this isn't a sign of things to come.Last I heard they brought on some mech designers so that's got to have something to do with something. Not sure if it will be more AC, something new, or incorporating mech designs in another game.Some high fantasy magitech stuff could be a pretty refreshing design change for themI'm sure we'll get a trailer after duskbloods comes out. I'm pretty sure that's getting delayed though. We got only a second trailer that showed like nothing new and we're running out of months in this year.
>>743300371Because a majority shareholder in Kadokawa is wondering why they're just sitting on an IP that sold 30 million units and the only things they did with it was one DLC pack and a side game.
I just want to know when the closed network test is
>released Armored Core 6, by far one of the best action games of the last years and possibly the best mecha game ever>but then rushed ER dlc to release in a half-assed state with half of the map being empty and the last boss being a lame rethread of a far better fight 10 years ago>and then released Nighrein aka their own Metal Gear Survive>their next release is a multiplayer only slop for nintendo switch 2What the fuck happened post-23? Are they getting pressured by the publisher?
>>743298260Dark Souls 3 IV
>>743300453More AC.And you're response is about what Kadokawa wants, not what From wants.
>>743300474Should be very soon since it's in summer.
>>743300548doesn't matter what From wants if your publisher is putting pressure on you, eventually you're going to be in a situation where you have to do what your funding source wants. do you truly not understand how publishers work
>>743298260Palworld souls
>>743300505They were still kinda small when they dropped Elden ring. Right now they're going through a major restructuring because of expansion. Nightreign was explicitly to give a combat designer director experience. They're trying to get more teams up to speed.I'm sure that's on top of external pressure to become a 5 year super game maker or many small teams making many games.Plus they were trying to buy a bit of independence on top of all this.I'm sure the upper crust meetings are fucking nuts.
>>743298260Dark souls 12: rape of zanzibart
test
>>743300627The publisher isn't pushing them though. It's investors leaning on the publisher and even that was more for them using Bamco to distribute when they're a massive distributer.Plus I heard they told them to fuck off and the investors sold off like 30% of their stock. Threads go fast so I couldn't say for sure.
>>743300815all I know is Kadokawa is an 80% owner of them and they have a shareholder from China that's seething From Soft hasn't gotten to Elden Ring 3 by now.
>>743300627Do you even know what a publisher is? Kadokawa is not the publisher, it's the parent company.Either way, it's not that simple. FS is the way it is because they make things their way, if someone from the outside starts telling them what to do the result will not be the same.Even if they were to make more Elden Ring, this will not prevent them from still making what they want. They started hiring more talent exactly so they would be able to work on multiple projects at a time.So enjoy Elden Ring 2 made by the B team or C team while the real talent works on what the company really wants to make.
If it isn't Bloodborne 2 I don't care.
>>743300904Kadokawa is who told the investors to fuck off
>>743301014you (and me) will never have another bloodborne bear the burden
Miyazaki pls... the network test.... it's summer
the more I think about it the more I like the idea of the duskbloodsER pvp was dogshit because it was just spamming whatever the meta was at the time, but I liked dark souls pvp for the most partdark souls 2 unironically had the most balanced pvp lmao
>>743301278I'm sure an online PvP game will have a long lasting playerbase.. on the Switch 2
No eldenring 2 no buy
>>743300210If that coffin was real 87 % of anons would use it and you would be among the first (whether you like it or not)
>>743300698>Nightreign was explicitly to give a combat designer director experience. They're trying to get more teams up to speed.I can see the next Dark Souls or Elden Ring like be more character focused like Nightreign with character abilities and stuff.
>>743300140kek
>>743301561That's fucking disgusting. They would completely misunderstand the appeal of their own games. The entire point is to give people as much breathing room for roleplay and cosplay builds as possible.
>>743301339What was the trail of thought there anyway? We know Miyazaki plays Tarkov, surely he realizes that pvepvp stuff is far more pc centric than it is console centric.
>>743301662>The entire point is to give people as much breathing room for roleplay and cosplay builds as possible.You can still do that, but I can see stuff like ironeyes dash and stuff like that being implemented in their next big game.
>>743301278>has the best pvp>but has soul memoryWe do not live in a perfect world
>>743301716I sure hope it won't work via the fucking cooldowns at least
>>743301713pretty sure nintendo just said "hell that shit you want to make? go make it we will cover you"who else was he gonna pitch it to?sony?lmao, not enough microtransactions
>>743301662So long as they do both and not shun one for the other. There's some people that flip out that they have to wait two years instead of one for their "next game" like some people were screaming about AC6 and duskbloods coming out instead of more Elden ring/souls but eh.I waited 10 years for another AC game. 3 years is no big deal in comparison and I enjoyed their other offerings in the meantime
>>743301761At this point just use cheat engine or whatever the mods the community has cooked to stop your SM in place.I think a far bigger issue with 2 is the amount of softlocks for invaders. Some spawns are really shitty and won't even let you reach the host, lost bastille was infamous for this pin particular.
>>743301713He's japanese. Online play works fundamentally differently there.Tokyo is such a populated city and has such a high percentage of the country's population that any multiplayer game on any platform can feel populated with a miniscule number of players.This clouds their eyes to the rest of the world's online.
>>743301835They can literally make games for decades all on their own after er's success.
I feel like abilities being on cooldowns is a good systemit encourages you to just use it as often as possible, without devolving into AoW spamNo need to conserve it, might as well use it, itll be back in like 10 seconds
>>743301939Cooldowns are aids and will always be aids in action games.
>>743298260After Elden Ring, the "era of cooking" is over.
>>743298260Right now they are at civil war between Miyazaki and rest of from soft, the reason is as always, Miyazaki wants to put as much barefoot girls in next fromsoft games and rest of people at fromsoft are tired of modeling female feet.
>>743301939It always depends on execution. NR feels pretty good because you got cooldown moves alongside moves you can spam. From regular combos to weapon arts.That allows a good deal of variety but obviously I wouldn't like an MMO skill bar either.
>>743298260Elden Ring 2, the movie is leading into the sequel
>>743301662I think it's pretty obvious what the trend here is. Dark Souls games, and all of its imitators, are heading toward a singularity which is being pure action games. We aren't getting more slower and methodical Souls games anymore, and we haven't in over a decade. And this is what appeals to the masses, not us oldfags who still think Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2 were the apex of the more methodical combat.
>>743301939Cooldowns are a blight upon the action genre. They are not interactive. You just cooldown dump instead of using them in any sensible fashion.
>>743301014>>743301159>if it isn't sequelslop I don't care
>>743298260>souls combat (with new attacks!)>co-op only>battle royale>boss rush>live service>dying world... but with le dignity>guest character from FF7
>>743298260I honestly don't care. Let them do what they want. They haven't ass-fucked me so far, so I have faith in them until they do. Whatever it is, it'll be done when it's done.>but Elden RingLoved it.>but AC6Loved it.>but SotELoved it.>but NightreignLiked it.>but DuskbloodsWill probably like it.>but you have no tasteWell that's just, like, your opinion, man
>>743301538Assuming I could go back any time, yes. Who wouldn't?
>>743300210The tergerdner coffin was actually a bugfix at one point. I don't remember the specifics, but there was this weird bug that could happen in early versions of the game. They figured out that swapping the character's gender fixed it, so they put in the coffin as a bandaid solution.
>>743302458Look at this weirdo over here, having fun.
>>743301939>cooldowns is a good systemPlease leave and never come back.
>>743302953I will stayI will play the network testI will leave feedbackYou will sufferHave a pregnant hellhound
>>743298260Elden Ring II if they're not retarded.
