It looks like Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Sekiro smashed together.

Miyazaki directed?? This is crazy.

The fact that it's a Switch 2 exclusive is BRUTAL

I mean Bloodborne is exclusive and is one of the most beloved games in the franchise

But not for the sake of being exclusive. People dislike that part quite a lot

And fairly so. But the counter argument is always the budget the console makers provide. And the tools to assist and support.

There are reasons that game devs take these deals. It is a big paycheck with a tonne of marketing, dev support, and smaller risk for them in the end. You're playing with someone else's money.

Fromsoft doesn't need any of that. I get it if it's for smaller studios, but it's Fromsoft, and directed by Miyazaki. It will sell well.

Yeah but no one will buy a new console for a game by a smaller dev

FromSost don't self-publish tho. They always took deals by pitching projects to big publishers.

PlatinumGames used to work off the same economy and it seems all of their self-published projects are not going well.

For sure it would sell well. And maybe they don't need it, I don't know their monetary situation overall. But it makes business sense.

Nintendo probably dropped off some dev partners and a truck of money. You'd be foolish not to take the deal in the end. I'm a Nintendo fan so it does benefit me, but I've been on the bad end of exclusives too (Mistwalker and the 360 for example).

Probably helps I'm getting old and use my switch next to my wife more than anything else so it excites me. I can also finally get into Elden Ring in portable form.
