Honestly with how gay Sony is over Bloodborne I could see them throwing it away for being BB adjacent.

>fromslop
who cares

>>745853569
so basically, he fleeced Miyamoto for an easy blank check
based MiyaCHADki

Yes I'm sure Gabe personally smited Miyazaki for releasing something so unoriginal.

>>745853569
I wonder how much AI was used in this game, whether it be from the dogshit enemy designs or gay ass character designs, it's all just shit and un-natural.

>>745853824
Probably none

>>745853824
no need to use AI when they can use the same DS assets they've been using for over a decade.

>>745853824
>this fantasy game has unnatural enemy designs
Yes?

>>745853569
>they were receptive to his weird idea
grim for the actual quality, that's to say nothing of goytendo's lack of power.

>>745853569
Japs never give honest answers

Based Nintendo still taking on risk for new and interesting properties. But it’s a Nintendo exclusive so the browns on /v/ are going to seethe.

>>745853569
That's a pretty terrible reason for this derivative of asset flip nightreign that will be mediocre at best outcome that will sell like dogwater on a platform for people who mainly buy games for 8-year-olds, but sure.

>>745853569
Whai is weird about the game?

i can't believe we have entered a timeline where everyone is pretending that a battle royale game with some flexible objectives is some super weird out there quirk chungus game idea

>>745854184
Well known companies can make something different to the norm and it is a risk. They didn’t make Dark Souls 4 or do a shitty remake. Duskbloods is an odd game and it’s not guaranteed to sell and make line go up. Are YOU stupid?

>nightreign 2 with pvp instead of boss battle
dead on arrival

>>745854347
it has boss battles too and the final showdown can get replaced with a major boss too

>745854347
But it has boss battles, retard-kun

>>745854347
There are boss battles in it, retard-chan.

>>745854347
You faggots will just say anything to try to shit on it just because you hate Nintendo and/or Fromsoft, huh?

>>745854280
It's nightreign bloodborne edition, so no, there is no risk with from themselves. Their games sell, people like and respect them more than nintendo at this point.
The only risk here is releasing it on a platform nobody will buy it on.

>>745854184
Yes, look at how many people are bitching because it's a pvp game instead of Elden Ring 2.

>>745854195
it's because it's on a nintendo console

>>745853824
No AI just tons and tons of unused assets from bloodborne and dark souls 3

>>745854549
>The only risk here is releasing it on a platform nobody will buy it on.
That's only a risk if they release it on PS5 or Series X. Switch 2 has mainstream appeal as the Nintendo game to play new Nintendo games on, and Fromsoftware themselves are a pedigree developer with a legendary reputation.

It'll sell.

nintendo was desperate for it, of course they were receptive to it. they dont have shit besides their first party titles and they're over the moon that a revered company like From would give them the time of day with their dinky twp console

>>745853927
yu mean kings field recreations?

you can see how lazy they really are

yes

So now where are all the retards who were saying they were going to play this on PC in a year or two? Reminder that there is still no Switch 2 exploit or emulator for the foreseeable future.

>>745854195

Oh well, will look forward to their next project, probably buy it because they're the only big studio that makes consistently okay to good games despite the contrarians screeching

Kirby Air Riders City Trial - Bloodborne Edition

lmao I'm crying it's Bayonetta 2 all over again

the outcry against duskblood is that it isn't a safe dark souls 4/elden ring 2

>>745854923
>>745854557
Nightreign sold.

>>745854786
I wonder if Sakurai talked to Miyazaki one day, which gave Miyazaki some ideas

>>745854958
Nightreign was multiplatform

Ok...and? They still don't want most of us to buy it so less money for them i guess

>>745854958
Elden Ring is the top seller on the eshop right now.

>>745853569

>>745854958
duskblood isn't nightreign
you don't lose anything if you die in duskblood, it just waste your time and enemies can get points off you

>>745855001
Always a possibility, Sakurai definitely gets around when it comes to hanging out with other devs. Of course I oversimplified what Duskbloods is but that's the gist of it.

>>745853569
This guy could slap his name in a piece of cardboard and fromdrones would buy it in droves. Such a lame excuse.

>>745855098
The point is it's just another from filler title. The only risk is releasing it on a platform where most people won't buy it. And it's multiplayer focused, making it even more baffling.

>>745855098
So... it's nightreign, then? Why are you acting like a difference here or there means it isn't the same kind of game?

>>745855161
concession accepted

>>745855271
>why do you act like its different when it has differences
the only thing it has similar to nightreign is that it's multiplayer
and it's not even the same multiplayer, duskblood focus on PvP alot

>>745854679
They are itt calling the game a battle royale after calling it a tarkov clone didn't work.

>>745855271
Elden Ring is coming out (releasing as a full game) in like a week. Duskbloods has no release date, and Nintendo themselves just denied the rumors of a September 24th release date.

Elden Ring is coming out first and you are a slithering, idiotic retard. Get help from a professional, I'm sure your family (if you have any) is worried about your well-being.

>>745855126
Anon, ER comes out next week.

>>745854958
Nightreign doesn't have pvp lmao

>>745855468
And? It's the exact same kind of game.

>>745855416
>the map doesn't shrink
>you don't lose if you die, only when the phase is over and you don't get enough points
>"it's a battle royale!"

>>745853569
right, so a huge studio can't make a game without bootlicking exclusivity onto a console? yeah no thanks

>>745855530
>is a call of duty ripoff!!

>>745855354
Again... do we know that...?
Put it this way, if it's a system where you queue into a match with a small party of players, traverse a semi-randomized map to fight monsters and bosses with the third-person FromSoft combat within a limited time to acquire equipment and upgrades with each run to power up for the challenge that the end, then that's fundamentally Nightreign. Those are the fundamental traits that make Nightreign Nightreign and not Binding of Isaac or something.
Okay, so when you die you don't leave souls on the ground that you can go pick up. That's a difference, but it doesn't make it such a different game that the comparison no longer makes sense. It's Nightreign. There are differences, but it's Nightreign. Assuming that IS what the gameplay loop is. Again, do we actually know that?

great. so some guy at nintendo buttered him up and got an exclusive. kinda stupid to limit your audience like that? surely everyone is willing to do a fromsoft game at this point. I hope it's another nightreign so I don't feel bad for not being able to play it.

>>745853569
If this game sucks ass, all the drones can't deflect and say it was handed off to his second in command or whatever, like with DS2.

>>745855126
Prolly because you can't even pre order Duskbloods yet

>>745854736
It hurts to see a lot of what were probably covenant ideas get used in duskbloods from over the years of simple cops, invaders but purple and a small buff to enemies if certain conditions are met with mohgs covenant for invaders. The silver lining is anything that works really well and the community is receptive to will get used in future games since they are claiming they got away with trying out lots of things thanks to nintendo partnering with them.

>>745854117
every from game from DS3 to Elden Ring is just a bloodborne asset flip

>>745855501
Not in the minds of "red man bad" fromsoft fans. You might be surprised but that is greater than half of all fromsoft fans. I'd he willing to put money that 33% of the fanbase flat out hates pvp and will refuse to play a game based around pvp. 62% are ambivalent to pvp. Less than 5% of all fromsoft fans are pvp enjoyers. Not all of the 62% ambivalent will be motivated enough to want to play a pvp game. You're looking at roughly 60% of the fanbase realistically. Chop that up further with switch 2 fromsoft fan owners and it gets pretty bleak. I don't think duskbloods does nightreign numbers. Hell I'm expecting it to do AC6 numbers at best.

>>745856174
Ah okay, I see.
If points don't result in game wins, I wonder what they're for. Maybe buying/unlocking shit between matches? In any case that sounds like a fundamental difference from Nightreign, yeah, moreso than not dropping souls when you die. If it's a free-for-all at the end then the game is incentivising selfish play rather than cooperation, but you'll get more points for cooperating, so it sounds like there's a push-and-pull involved. That sounds neat, assuming it works as intended.
But yeah, I concede, this doesn't sound so much like Nightreign that they could be described as very similar games. Seems like the main overlap is just the concept of a multiplayer matchmaking and time-limited runs (and the actual gameplay).

>>745856246
I was just responding to the claim that "it's totally different because you don't drop souls when you die". I was asking what we actually know about the game the whole time, no shit I didn't know.

>>745856334
So it IS a risk then? People say they want companies to take risks instead of making boring cinematic slop but when Nintendo have done it everyone gets mad and naysays it. This place is full of retards.

>>745856563
>but you'll get more points for cooperating

it gave him tons of points, the other plays had to team up against him since he kept killing them all
