Dark Souls & The Art Of Sadism: From Software Speaks

Great article for a truly amazing game this gen along with it's predecessor demons souls

jimbobwahey4280d ago

People say that the Japanese games industry is in trouble, but when you see them releasing stuff like Demons/Dark Souls which are considered two of the best games of this console generation, nevermind all the brilliance from Platinum Games and Hideo Kojima etc well, you have to wonder how people can have that opinion?

It's as if somebody said the western games industry sucks just because of Activision and EA, it doesn't make sense.

DragonKnight4280d ago

Capcom and SE are the biggest reasons that people say the Japanese industry is in trouble. The fact that many smaller studios don't release their games outside of Japan is another reason. When you look at the bulk of global Japanese offerings, you see that there are few games of the calibre of Demon's/Dark Souls releasing outside of Japan.

And then you have SE and Capcom acting like Activision and EA and it just adds up to a problem.

Nice..

Thanks for making Dark Souls easier too! (or at least less frustrating) xD

Farming for mats in Demon's Souls was much harder.. and so are being able to get a check point.

I feel much more at ease with controlling the game too due not having to worry about World Tendencies.

I hope they make another souls game.

Could potentially be any one of these:
King's Field V / Otogi 3 / Lost Kingdoms 3 / Shadow Tower 3 / Echo Night 4 / Metal Wolf Chaos 2 / Kuon 2 / Armored Core VII
LETS GO !

Otogi would be excellent. I loved that game.

jjb198116d ago

I really hope it's King's Field. That was my first 3D RPG. It is such an amazing game.

Hidetaka Miyazaki Wants To Work On His Debut Franchise After Elden Ring DLC

Hidetaka Miyazaki appeared in an interview to discuss the future of the Elden Ring DLC and FromSoftware's future plans.

I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model

Cacabunga18d ago

U probably right about the remake it is maybe too early. A performance mode would be more welcome at this point

fsfsxii18d ago

can we get new ideas instead of remakes? gamers are the most nostalgia driven on this earth istg

Redgrave18d ago

The problem with new ideas is that they are often riddled with modern gaming problems like battle/season passes, MTX, DEI and/or agenda pushing narratives rather than making something fun.

We look to nostalgia because the magic was still alive and well, where as now it's often limited to indies.

Redgrave17d ago

Disagree-ers - care to elaborate?

Chard18d ago

Look at how Bluepoint changed the art for demons souls. I wouldn’t want them doing that for Bloodborne

anast18d ago

Compare their releases. How many are GaaS and how many are not. Put the number here for people to see.

gold_drake18d ago

what gaas are we talking? did i miss something?

I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.

I hope he does a new IP instead

FinalFantasyFanatic18d ago

I love the Armored Core series, I hope it becomes a regular thing again, like it was back in the PS2 days, we've been starved of AC games for a long time. Although I prefer the gameplay in the PS2 games personally. AC6 was really fun though.

Sonic188118d ago (Edited 18d ago )

The last game was a difficult challenge. I had trouble beating that last boss

shinoff218318d ago

I'm hoping for a Sci fi game. I guess armored core would be Sci fi but I'm not talking about that. I'd like a new Sci fi game

Nacho_Z18d ago

Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.

gold_drake18d ago

oofff kings field. i played that not too long ago ha.

shinoff218318d ago

One ofbthe first ps games I beat back in the day. Was fun.

anast18d ago

Good news. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.
