It's no surprise that under Miyazaki's direction these games are superior, but anybody who thinks the game will be bad based on Dark Souls 2 is smoking dat ganja.

IGN: Dark Soul 3 confirmed real by leaked promo art - Early 2016
- Thread starter piccio_ssl
- Start date
Yes, that was a year ago and 2 months after the release of DS2. I'd expect that he's much more involved in Dark Souls 3 than in DS2.
Besides, the leaked screens scream for berserk, which he is obviously a big fan of.

People complain about anything. If there was no new game they'd complain why not sooner. Who cares, it's sure to be great.
My only concern is after Bloodborne, going back to slow methodical gaming; will it grow tedious.

Exactly. The thing about most master class video games is there's really only one of them. There's only one RE4. There's only one Half-Life 2. But this series consistently has given us amazing fucking games, so I for one will not be complaining about getting more until they either turn out shit instead of the amazingly designed games they are.
There's even enough differentiation between the titles as evidenced by the fact everyone has a different favorite or least favorite among them and feel pretty strongly about it too.

Sorry i wasnt being serious it was just a snide comment
. I havent played ds2 yet so i dont actually now how well id stack it against the other souls game. Though i do agree the game could have been far worse.I can understand both sides in this discussion. While Bloodborne is different you can't deny its Souls-roots. So for some people this game was a new experience and maybe for some others not so much.
Maybe they won't buy it. Are these people not allowed to share their disappointment about this situation?

I'm on board with that
Am I on Reddit? Is this /r/gaming?
Why would you count the game of the year edition? Don't be silly.

For prosperity, at this point, Pokemon is more or less a yearly franchise. Back in the 90's we had Final Fantasy VII (1997), Final Fantasy VIII (1999), Final Fantasy IX (2000), Final Fantasy X (2001) and many consider that period the golden years of the franchise.
As long as the quality is upheld I'm fine with this. There's a lack of console RPG's as it is. If I can get a new Souls game each year then I'll be happy.

Waaaaay too soon, and explains why it looks more like a cobbled together expansion than anything new and fresh.
Damn, feels bad son
It looks like a cobbled together expansion? how? where? Did I miss anything?

I would love more Souls games. They've been consistently great and I cannot wait for DS3.

So you don't think releasing three big DLC expansions and remastering the game takes away resources from the team? Besides a lot of programmers and designers moved over to Bloodborne after Dark Souls 2 was finished. The talk about a A and a B-team in From has been proven to be largely untrue. Unless they revently expanded the studio in a big way that I'm unaware of, this seems really soon.

You were the chosen one, From.
Yeah, really not too thrilled with this. I think Plague Of Gripes was right when he said one of the main points to the Souls series is that everything is supposed to be shrouded with mystery.
The more they reveal through Dark Souls sequels, the less interesting it becomes. Dark Souls 2 didn't make the series more interesting. If anything it just made things more convoluted.
I never wanted a sequel to Demon Souls and thankfully they made Dark Souls instead. But now I want them to move onto a different Souls game, rather than just adding to Dark Souls more and more.
Who knows? Maybe they'll do a better job this time around?

Really don't mean to rain on everyones excitement here but I can't help and look at this and just wonder if they are rapidly taking this in the direction of Assassin's Creed as far as how rapidly they are putting out games. Sure, Bloodborne was an entirely different team ect....
But still...I worry.

If by that you mean Dark Souls is one game and Bloodborne is an entirely different game, then yea, we Forza.
It was confirmed by Shu. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that details about Bloodborne's expansion will be revealed after E3.

Just curious

Every game wants its' day in the sun. Why announce Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and have it be covered up by fifty news pieces, when you can announce it a few days earlier and trend at the top of Twitter for a few hours?
I honestly expect Mass Effect 4 to be formally announced before E3 even starts.
Until FROM produces an atrocity similar to Assassin's Creed 3 or something fatigued like Revelations, I'm willing to ride this train.
Dark Souls 3 for President
I think it's fairly disingenuous to not count Bloodborne as a Souls game.

Wow these type of games are pumping out like burgers at a fast food restaurant now.
I hope it doesn't burn out the genre. At least Miyazaki is involved this time.

I'm sure it'll be "good" in that it'll be above average in quality, entertainment and gameplay, but you can't drag out a perpetual chain of awesome games in the same series indefinitely. Hell, even getting 4 great games in a row is almost unheard of but From figured it out. It can't run on indefinitely that way.
The Souls formula is solid enough that making "good" games would probably a breeze (glorified large DLC packs and minor combat adjustments!) that people would still enjoy, but that would immediately soil the good name of a series that's only put out GOTY-level titles to date. There's a very fine line between making content good enough that people will still gladly pay for it and making true quality content. That's how franchise fatigue starts.
Doesn't help that virtually every series that's now annualized has completely gone to hell at worst and had their reputations tarnished at best.

They're special because of the blood, sweat and tears that go into them. I (and I'd venture a very large number of other members) would rather have a game every 2-3 years thatt we'd know was refined to be special than something from From cranked out every 12-18 months that was made basically just for the sake of being made.
Hmm I'm seeing some relation by looking at the flag on the leaked screen and the symbol on Alvas Armor.
It's actually a good comparison. There's mainline Forza and the Horizon subseries, each now alternating years.
They're different games but still part of the same franchise. Same with Bloodborne/Souls.
