How many souls games can we really play, honestly.

Many, MANY more than we have available today.

Thank you.

 

[Yoboman]

Making two games at once? That's what's up...

I never really noticed but did some checking. Nearly all their games have been announced only a few months after the last one released

Biggest gap was between Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro

 

[cireza]

Yeah, and Square-Enix were working on another exclusive FF game for PS5, that happened to be multi-platform. We know how rumors work.

 

[yurinka]

Thank you.

You're welcome. Regarding this news, in some other media outlets you'll see a headline saying Sony bought 2% of Kadokawa but it's fake news: Sony didn't pay a shit for it and same goes with Cygames. Kadokawa gave them the ~2% of shares in exchange for helping Kadokawa get a global approach.

 

[VinnyMac]

Why hasn't Sony just bought from yet? They are clearly sleeping together like Bethesda and ms.

That would mean Sony has to buy Kadokawa or propose a deal to them.

FromSoftware New PS5 Exclusive IP Is Reportedly "More Souls-Like Than It Is Elden Ring/Sekiro"

A new report strongly suggests that the PS5 exclusive by FromSoftware is a brand-new IP and is more like Demon's Souls games.

thegamepost.com

New info?

 

[Concern]

At this point, true or not. It doesn't matter since we are still far off from Elden Ring. We probably won't see anything for at least another 2 or three years if this is even real.

Also, Bloodborne 2 or nothing

The reason you liked Bloodborne is because it was fresh. A sequel won't recreate that only a new IP. From understands this. Sadly most gamers don't.

The setting was it for me. I was never that into the other Souls like I was Bloodborne. Only one out of them that I had multiple playthroughs in.

Setting was great. And for me so was the increase in mobility and speed.

Expect a fourth totally different setting unrelated to Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, or Sekiro.

Bring it on but i need Elden Ring first

Could be interesting but we'll see. Honestly lost the hype for Elden Ring with what was shown. So its not like they can't disappoint me either.

 

[TheGodfather07]

yeah, the combat in bloodborne is way better than that of dark souls. it made the boss fights thrilling.

Bethesda never done anything with MS exclusively. Morrowind on OG Xbox which was on the PC too is as close as it got.

Whereas From Software made Demon Souls, Bloodborne and Deracine exclusively for Playstation

 

[GuinGuin]

Wear light armor and use a light weapon and dark souls can be very speedy.

Velvet veil... easy mode save anytime confirmed..

There is nothing stopping them from working on two games at the same time.

 

[Concern]

Not saying that. Im referring to how long they keep things under wraps.

 

[22:22:22]

Velvet Veil sounds like a Japanse band doesn't it

I love it..

Quell Surprise..

 

[Jaysen]

I went magic in the Demons Souls remake and that worked too. The 60fps helped make the game feel fast and fluid as well.

 

[NonPhixion]

Bloodborne was announced June 2014 and released March 2015. How long do they keep things under wraps?

 

[Concern]

They usually don't show much till its close to release. Bloodborne being the perfect example. I believe Sekiro was like that too.

They were shown the E3 the year before and both released the following March/April respectively iirc.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Well magic build in Demon's souls is more or less the easy mode.

 

[VinnyMac]

Lol Ok? If you can honestly sit here and say Bethesda was not in ms's bed and has been for years your nuts they always got the best versions of their games they always got the marketing rights to fallout and elder scrolls. Got special perks with fallout (mods). Have been at Xboxs e3 for literally as long as I can remember. I mean come on just stop.

 

[Jaysen]

Well magic build in Demon's souls is more or less the easy mode.

Also way more fun. A rogue type build with a bow is also fast and fun.

 

[squarealex]

Imagine the new from soft with the Demon's Souls PS5 Engine

 

[BennyBlanco]

From Soft also made Xbox exclusives.

 

[CAB_Life]

Code name sounds like an artsy lesbian porn.

[Bryank75]

Wonder what happened to the rumored Xbox sci-fi exclusive... hmmm

 

[Knightime_X]

So it's Bloodborne: Final Fantasy edition.
Got it.

 

[Kokoloko85]

From Soft also made Xbox exclusives.

Indeed. They also made exclusives for Nintendo and many exclusives for the PS2/PSP and PS1

 

[Bryank75]

Another opportunity to post this.

Debunked for now due to Xbox most favourite person after Phil - Jeff Grubb stating that it's false.


Maybe it is true about PS5 thing, as Jeff seem avoid to leak anything linked with PlayStation.

Theres nothing to stop lol. Im just saying the relationship is different. One had marketing rights and one actually made exclusive games for the platform and worked with the 1st party team. Playstation didn’t miss out on any Bethesda Exclusives or anything apart from Morrowind.

Anyway Bethesda is now owned by Microsoft so they are way more in bed now lol

 

[dEvAnGeL]

They should make the game and give it to BluePoint to remake it before release so the game don't have that awful frame pacing FROM games are known for.

Do you remember where that rumor originated from?

I believe it was by Miles from Windows Central

- yes it is - Source (Skip to 4:40): What's Phil Spencer Hiding? - The Future of Xbox Based on Phil's Latest Shelf Teases - YouTube

Yeah, that sounds about right. So, many rumors out there now...

Edit: Ah, excellent. Thank you!

 

[yurinka]

Every couple of weeks someone throws the rumor of FS working on a PS5. Some day it won't be a bullshit lie from an attention whore and instead will become true. I think that as of now they are too busy with Elder Ring.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'll take anything from miyazaki like a good little bitch boy.

 

[SSfox]

I hope it's true but Hermen Hulst seems too busy porting ps4 games to PC and making deals on GaaS games to be able to make some wise deal like this rumour suggest.

 

[GuinGuin]

XDev Japan can help them in the same way.

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Who's the source of this rumor and what's their track record look like? A lot rumors lately have been wildly off the mark, whether that's FF Origins (remember when everyone was hyping that because they thought it was a PS5 exclusive, and not even if they knew the game was good or not? Then the reveal came and folks had egg on their face?), Switch OLED being 4K-capable with beefed-up specs, or Microsoft announcing a bunch of acquisitions at their E3.

However it feels like the PlayStation-centric ones have been the most iffy, so I wouldn't put much any stock into this one especially if the source is weak.

Same person that leaked the Ghost of Ishima DLC. It's legit.
