B-teamsisters... we're eating good. Dark souls 2 kino is back on the menu.

every big studio has thousands of employees these days working on 5 different projects tho

>reduce the time between the releases of its game

Sounds like another case of activist shareholders forcing a company to churn out games without any regards for quality so they can maximize profits.

>a range of games

a small range of reskins of Dark Soul tripe



the Tim Burton of game development

but fromsoftware has been making the highest quality games in the industry since they made Demon's Souls.

Except the time where they allocated to a B team and we got dark souls 2 which is the worse game in the series.

The PC release of Dark Souls was a mistake.

good thing they had 2 better games released shortly after

article doesn't make sense because FromSoft has released a game every year since Dark Souls (COVID era excluded).

>overseeing the entirety of the game including the art direction

gross lol no wonder it's the ugliest

1. They're known for cutting corners and rushjobs. When a game has problems in development they don't delay the game they just re-configure the project and release it. It's why their games have odd histories. It's one reason why they can put out games much lower budget than their competitors. 



2. They've definitely stumbled into a winning formula and aren't deviating from it. Demon's Souls was a quirky experiment. Elden Ring is a formula. 



3. There's no way they won't do Elden Ring 2 or Elden Ring Online.

DS2 is far a better game than DS1 and DeS.

ds2 gameplay

Yes, it's unpolished but gameplay wise its lightyears ahead.

That's why both DS3 and ER copied most of the mechanics that DS2 pioneered.

Everyone posts the same shitty graphics every dya, but what I find infinitely more egregious are the absolutely hideous animations for enemies.

So this is the end of fromsoft golden era....

demon's souls gameplay

ds1 gameplay

i agree and i hate the shitty stiff running and jumping animations

Honestly sounds like a bad idea, from software titles sell a lot based on their brand quality

If their brand quality suddenly dips, people won't associate a from software game with quality and therefore won't just buy every from software



This is like disney and blizzard all over again

ds2 gameplay

Google says FromSoft only has 349 employees.

What a giant cope.

1. What are deadlines?

2. What is Bloodborne? What is Sekiro? Elden Ring is also very much a deviation and they are doing Armored Core now.

3. Miyazaki said something completely different in an interview recently.

DS2 is still 10x better than most games that release now days. 

Yeah im thinking we're back, B team chads

It's amazing how one small change like making backstabs not instant brings a game's PvP from 4/10 to 9/10.

The quote this article is referring to basically said “at from soft we’ve always done this, and are continuing to do it exactly the same way” but framing it as something new and exciting gets more clicks.

sekiro is a reskin of ds3 with undercooked stealth mechanics that it discards 25% through the game and becomes the same boss rush

Kings Field remake when.
