I really hope we get to see new From IP at E3
People knew who OP was because a similar thread about Metroid was pulled earlier and it was by the same person.Glad to hear something was done. Sorry OP, but you ought to know better. This has been happening way too often lately.
I think we should all temper our expectations and just expect Armored Core.
If it wasn't posted here its probably fake. People are actually getting their information from this thread to write articles.Just saw an announcement for what I assume is bloodborne 2 with a 12/12/18 release date attached. On a collectibles site of all places.
What I would to see is FROM response to Nioh. I don't mean a copycat of course, I just want to see how they'll iterate the design.
This must be intentionalI'd put a Bloodborne 2 announcement in the same boat as a new Metroid game announcement. I'd die if either happened, but I'm keeping my expectations super low.

I originally thought yes, ive asked again since and been told not to hold my breath. So im going to assume 2018 for reveal, 2019 for release as per tradition. I think 2017 is going to be year of the Armored Core.
Souls like games have a very specific style of gameplay that every game from Demon Souls to Dark Souls III adheres to, despite every game having their own unique spin on it, they're all largely similar. One big interconnected map, open world ish, 3rd person ARPG with both melee and magic combat, very basic movement consisting purely of dodging and walk/running. Collecting a currency (souls or blood echoes) that act as currency and experience that can be picked up after death upon revisiting. Thess things make a Souls game a souls game (in addition to being made by Fromsoft)
I heard it takes inspiration from the souls games but does something new. For instance, maybe the new IP does away with the souls mechanic, has various forms of movement, maybe even incorpetating vertical movement or flight (just spitballing), goes full open world rather than interconnected levels, expands on what you can do with combat both melee wise and magic wise, but keeps everything else. All of that is speculation on my part but there are many ways a new ARPG can still feel like souls but also be fundamentally different. So keep an open mind.
Its also important to remember that the term Dark Fantasy is an incredibly wide blanket and there are many themes that can fall under that. For instance, both Bloodborne and Dark Souls are Dark Fantasy games, but one is a Lovecraftian Gothic horror dark fantasy, and the other is a European medival dark fantasy. Both very different themes but both under the same umbrella.
I think we should all temper our expectations and just expect Armored Core.
Do you know what the something new is or are you just speculating? For me, I'd be excited if it included some of the things that makes Souls great, like an interconnected-world with great level design, mysterious lore through items and NPCs, a great degree of challenge and difficulty. If it has all those things, I'd be happy.
Do you know what kind of setting it has?
I ask you alot of questions... sorry
Yes I know something (albiet very little), though most of that post was speculation.
I've got the vaguest sense of what the setting is but I'm not going to tell anyone because I was asked not to talk about any of that stuff. Though pretty much all of the stuff I post regarding the topic is information that's publicly available, I'm just confirming what's been confirmed to me.
Pretty much, I ended up asking someone who's close to the project a bunch of questions (probably like 30+) and I got some answers. Out of respect for them, their job and the fact that they even gave me the opportunity to talk to them in the first place, I try not to talk about anything too juicy or major, though I don't have much of that information in the first place.
I personally do not know anything about the project outside of what I've been told, I have a vague idea of what elements the game will have, though the details are few and the answers I got were generally vague. The only explicit answer I got was about there being no more games in the souls series, but again, that's public information, I'm just out here confirming it since GAF has this conversation every week.
Okay, I understand but I'll ask you only this, I take it you're a Souls fan (including Bloodborne?)
If so, as a fan of those games, are you excited about this project? If I am a fan of them too, would I have any reason to be excited when it's revealed?
This must be intentional
Jesus Christ let's calm down, I want this too much nowHey guys, listen. How about
FromSoft X Yoko Taro
pls
Or Matsuno
The souls series is my favorite game series of all time, I've played and enjoyed every game (Except Demon Souls which I have yet to play) so I'll always be excited for whatever they're working on. But I mean, from the incredibly vague description I could pull together from all the information I got, If you liked the previous games I don't see why you wouldn't be excited for this. But like I said, what I actually know is about as vague as these games' lore.
Thanks so much! I agree, I look forward to whatever Miyazaki and From bring out.
Haha it isn't. OP got me good with the Metroid thread, but I didn't see this one till the title change thank god.
I'm 99% certain we'll see [Bloodborne 2]

How come you haven't play Demon's souls? No PS3?
Yeah, I only really jumped on the Sony train this gen with the PS4 and a big reason for me even getting one and continuing to be into gaming at all was Bloodborne and Fromsoft games.
Bloodborne was my reasoning for a PS4 also.
Wish the PS4 had decent BC for situations like these. I think Demon's Souls wouldn't hold up after playing through the Dark Souls trilogy & Bloodborne, but it's still well worth experiencing. Certain bosses have mechanics that haven't been repeated and as I said in my previous post, the tendency system is very unique. The locales you visit are also still super immersive and atmospheric. When I played it at launch, I had experienced nothing like it and was blown away.
IT'S. HAPPENING. ???. !!!!.
Thomas Mahler is the maker of Ori, so I guess it could be legit. IIRC Miyazaki said some time ago that one game they are working on at the moment is "something you'd expect from us", which could easily be Bloodborne 2 when you consider that he also said they are done with Dark Souls for the time being.Is that from an insider?
Because if it is, jesus would have to take the fucking wheel.
It cant be coincidence at this point
In the same article that he says hes done with Dark Souls he says that includes Bloodborne. Like, same sentence.Thomas Mahler is the maker of Ori, so I guess it could be legit.

The level and art design in The Last Guardian would lend itself to being a god-tier Souls game. It's easy to see why Miyazaki looks up to Ueda.
This is the true hype dudeI think we should all temper our expectations and just expect Armored Core.

Is the armored core confirmed? Its an old game, i would be surprised if theres a sequel coming.
What was original title? I missed it lolHaha it isn't. OP got me good with the Metroid thread, but I didn't see this one till the title change thank god.
Yeah, okay, let's get excited for the most mediocre of game series!
I don't think there actually is. Miyazaki just talked about 3 new projects being in development. One Souls-like, a new IP and a reboot of an existing franchise, which might be AC. Parts of GAF then went ahead and created this narrative where Armored Core is suddenly an amazing franchise.

They've already said they're done with the series and no one actually knows if there's a deal at all. That rumor came from someone who was banned a few months ago for having a history of lyingSo noone knows exactly how many more games From has signed with Sony, if any?
If there's none left I can see them dropping BB and Demon Souls forever, but if there are 2 as rumored then it bodes well for at least one of them in the future.

Some other choice quotesIGN said:When pressed on whether one of those game would be a new Armored Core - the hardcore mech series Miyazaki has worked on previously - he replied, "Yeah, we're already working on Armored Core", but would not offer any more detail.-September 2016
IGN said:As for what that 'weird' game could be, Miyazaki offered only this: "So when I say weird, I mean that the genre we're trying to try might be a little bit weird. Not only that, but all the other actual game content might be a little bit weird, yes."
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/09/21/from-software-working-on-3-games-one-of-which-is-armored-coreIGN said:Miyazaki has previously confirmed that new IP was in the works, and that he wanted to work on a new Armored Core game. Previously, From Software has said that a new, VR-compatible game would arrive in 2017, but Miyazaki was less concrete about when the three new games were dated for:
"There are still several obstacles we need to overcome to launch those new titles, so we're not sure how many more years we need to build those, but we're looking forward to making an announcement in the future."
