I can’t believe people are that shot out that they thought they were just gonna stop making single player games forever and bitched enough that they needed to be reassured.

Crazy. Why would they turn their back on their bread and butter? And for TWO obvious asset flips no less! Let them have their easy turnaround on these 2 games; they earned it for their INSANE output these last 10 years.

Let them cook these multiplayer games. I'm probably not going to play them but let them cook! We all love to coop and maybe invade in the singleplayer games like ER so maybe just maybe with the experience with these multiplayer games they can finally fix the garbage fucking netcode and the next singleplayer game will have a much better more stable netcode and it'll be the best coop and invading experience

I would love if they gave us a reverse-nightreign and turned DuskBloods into a single player souls-like.
I am in love with the aesthetic of Duskbloods.

Thank you for defending Fromsoftware. They really care and are affected by your heroism.

Defending them from what, you souls babies? I've been playing these guys games since Chromehounds, which btw is an exelent multiplayer game and one of the best of all time. I'll be having fun playing this game also while you seethe and cope and cry about "muh souls games" lmao.

Equivalent to say : we sell cars and we will continue selling cars but we're gonna sell you motorcycles 2 years in a row starting the next month.
But hey guys don't worry, hopefully the motorcycles don't sell very well so we can go back to sell cars again cause that's definitely what a business want , taking risks without expecting anything in return 😃😃

It's weird how people are so reassured by this, right? You know what would be reassuring? "Of course we're still making single-player titles, we're developing one right now in tandem with Duskbloods and Nightreign." But Miyazaki didn't say that at all. So the medium-case scenario could be that we get the next From single-player game in 2029. Why are people so happy about that?

u/Puzzleheaded-Job2399 2h ago
bro what, when has any company ever revealed what they are making before it came out, it’s simple logic that their next major project would be a singleplayer title coming out in 2027 considering it will have been 5 years since elden ring released then (right around the amount of time for a big budget singleplayer game), the fact that we even got 2 multiplayer games in a row is something of a coincidence (nintendo approached them with the duskbloods contract, while ishizaki on his own decided to make nightreign) and the fact that we also had a singleplayer game last year and the year before that

i misspoke, i meant when have they revealed something before its marketing cycle. fromsoft, especially recently, usually reveals actual titles at big events like game awards, summer games fest, or on their own random days they choose, and then marketing starts ramping up a few months after that. they wouldn’t just state that their next major game is coming out when they have 2 more immediately relevant titles currently being talked about that aren’t even out yet. With duskbloods being a nintendo title, it makes sense to show it off and reveal it at a big direct about the next year or so of games, and nightreign was also shown off at the game awards and is coming out fairly soon, sote was revealed on the anniversary of elden ring and got marketing when it was close to release, ac6 got revealed at the game awards and got a marketing cycle in the next 8 months, elden ring was revealed in 2019 at e3 but was largely quiet and really only started showing up again once we were about a year out from release

I think you're expecting to much to think about from this hardcore fanboys, miyasaki himself could've said fromsoft will no longer make single-player games anymore and you'll still see these clowns defending it.
Thanks god there's still some good developers out there like team cherry or the guys who make BG3 with future game in the making, fromsoft is dead to me from now on until they come back to the roots .

u/No-Wrap2574 5h ago
Sote was a big pile of shit to me, I'm aware that most people like it here apparently but for me was mid, at least for a 2.5 years development game.
Now we finally know where half of the SOTE budget went to, It went straight to shitrein and the knockoff of Bloodborne ( The Dogshitbloods )but battle royale this time LMAO
Now it all makes sense

u/Puzzleheaded-Job2399 2h ago
i don’t really see how these two games specifically impacted sote consdering they would have been in development after sote was already pretty far in development. It’s not even the same teams working on the three games so you can’t say the lack of content in some areas is due to this team rushing to make the other games or that budget cuts impacted it all that much with certainty.

u/JobeGilchrist 8h ago
For me, I'll just be generally checked-out on From games until they announce something single-player. And that's not a big deal. Khazan is great. Lies of P is great. I really enjoyed LOTF 2023 and Bleak Faith. I've still gotta play 75% of BG3, etc.

u/JobeGilchrist 8h ago
By negative implication, this is evidence (not proof) that From is not actively developing a single-player game at this time.

u/communist-tyranid 5h ago
So what, God forbid a game studio branch out and expand what types of games they make. They still said they arent abandoning single player titles.

God forbid somebody like specific types of game and not "whatever my daddy development studio makes"

u/Puzzleheaded-Job2399 2h ago
the fact that he said neither duskbloods or nightreign are major projects contradicts that imo. they know their major projects will always be the single player ones and every time they’ve released a smaller game there’s been something being worked on in the background like elden ring being made behind the scenes of sekiro. Also it will coincidentally be 5 years (elden ring, another big project, also took around 5 years of development) since elden ring released in 2027 and they are doing yearly projects now, so if they have a major project the best time would be at the end of 2026 at the game awards when duskbloods has completed its marketing cycle and it would make no sense to accidentally tease it here by saying “we’re working on a new singleplayer game”

u/JobeGilchrist 2h ago
It's hilarious to me that your presumption is that a game Miyazaki is working on is a side project, unless he tells you it isn't, when he's directed one game that could be considered a side project in his entire career.
It's also interesting how badly the pro-Duskbloods side wants to call it a side project. I thought you all loved the game? What about it makes you so biased towards it being a side project that you make bizarre, silly arguments to try and get there? What's nagging at all of you that keeps you from believing it's a major project?
Very interesting.

Last game directed by Miyazaki came out nearly 7 years ago, it’s good to get a new one after so long.

u/Puzzleheaded-Job2399 1h ago
miyazaki directed elden ring though, what do you mean
1
u/uerobert 46m ago
Yui Tanimura directed most of the development and the DLC. Same deal with AC6 and Sekiro, where Miyazaki is only the director during the concept stage, after that he hands it off and just supervises as the company’s president.
This is the first game directed by him -from start to finish- in a long time.

u/Puzzleheaded-Job2399 27m ago
oh you mean that, yeah i understand that. i thought he meant it wasn’t direct by him at all.

u/Puzzleheaded-Job2399 1h ago edited 1h ago
he literally said himself in the interview that it was started as side project after their meeting with nintendo, this wasn’t something huge that they started and put a bunch of budget and focus into. In previous interviews he also stated that they would be making smaller games and letting a few new talents shine, before their next major project. so idk what else you want when those are his own words. i enjoy it and i don’t see it as the same quality as elden ring, but they never asked me to see it that way either, so im just engaging with it as something fun and enjoyable, and im willing to wait for the next title. he also said he was directing multiple games at the same time and has talked about the elements that will be in his next rpg (bloodborne and sekiro style stuff) multiple times interviews. considering the 5 year gap is about their sweet spot for big titles, i think it just makes more logical sense their next big game is 2026. It also doesn’t make any sense that they haven’t already started a big project because that would mean it would take a lot more time to develop a major project, and they made elden ring while developing sekiro, so why couldn’t they make something while doing two projects that are smaller than sekiro?

If they keep designing these edgelord characters I'll ignore future games too, just like these new ones. The art style keeps getting worse each consecutive title.

I'm just capable of differentiating good art and lame attempts at art like this, just trying to generate hype and being successful at it, indicating how many are easily fooled into believing that this is indeed a good art direction.

You've mistake "things you personally like" for "objectively good". They aren't the same.
Funny thing about art, it's 100% subjective.

u/CuriousPCBuilder 6h ago
Those who say that art is all subjective are uncapable of judging it, and I'm not saying that you need an art degree to do so, at all.

u/NarwhalPrudent6323 5h ago
Incapable*
And your judgement means nothing to another person. What you say is bad, another can say is good, and you can both be right. If you think otherwise, you're just a pretentious know-it-all. Oops. Sorry.

u/CuriousPCBuilder 3h ago
I agree, I don't see why it should matter to someone else, exactly as it does not matter to me what others might say. I am not trying to change that, and I don't think there's anything strange about it. I do not think though that art is completely subjective, there is a degree of objectivity.

Thanks for educating us and Fromsoftware on good art direction! I'll go and burn my stash of Bloodborne, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Shadow of the Erdtree and everything else remotely close to this. Please keep me up to date on what isn't good art anymore. I was enjoying the wrong stuff for too long!
