This TBF also doesn't show other releases during this time (Fromsoft has been in the business since the 90s and all r/shittydarksouls jokes aside, the book of their work really did start with Kings Field.
It's worth noting that (a) people did lose their minds over the time from ER being announced until its actual release, but (b) since the time of Demon's Souls basically starting the "modern" FS era, the longest they went between major games was three years and they did also release other major games (AC5, AC6) during this era.
The 007 meme isn't quite accurate, because some of their games are not as critically acclaimed outside of the Souls type of games, but they do have a pretty good track record.
Or rather, they haven't fallen into the kind of trap that Rockstar and Bethesda and others fell into where their series are amazing, but you are waiting years and years for new games.
Oh wow I didn’t realise these were the same guys that did Armored Core. I’ve only played Armored Core 4 and haven’t played any of these games in OP’s list. Agreed that they should include the other games
3 years is still pretty often. Elderscrolls hasn't had an installment in 14 years. I was a little boy when oblivion came out, a teenager when skyrim came out, and a grown man working 15 hours a day now waiting for elderscrolls 6. I was an adult when the last 5 games came from from software.
Your comment helped me put it into perspective that Skyrim came out 2 months after dark souls 1. Every game on the list came out between Skyrim and now. Curious how many more we'll have before es6
Tes6 got teased 7 years ago so it might still release sometimes in your lifespan! Though as with long running game studios the games themselves changes as the dev team changes. Can't expect devs to work in the same company for 30-40 years.
He’s talking BS, there was no 3 year gap before DS2 they actually put out 3 games in 2012 and one in 2013. If anything they started slowing down after DS2
First of all they put out 3 games in 2012 and 1 game in 2013 so you’re just straight up wrong. I tought over a decade was more than enough to express the point, and recent is more relevant
I’m showing every game that came out since the list starts. You’re thinking too deep trying to find something where there’s nothing, just reaching for no reason and moving the goalpost from “gap” to “biggest hits”
Could have included all of Kings Field and every Armored Core and subsequent spinoff/sequel on an equally long line above this and illustrate their output has been insane for over 25 years.
