Well, I guess that's an opinion one can have.

A Berserk game by Platinum would certainly be nice. And one guy who works at Platinum once said that hypothetically making a Berserk game would be cool, and then everyone on the internet freaked out and assumed that meant it was happening. It wasn't even Kamiya, the director of the company.

A lot of people like the idea of a FromSoft Berserk game, but I'd say the combat in those is too slow for Guts.

Platinum would probably handle the combat better, but they'd have to tone down their usual silliness and I don't think they're able to do that.

Platinum are too busy making games based on 80/90's US cartoons at the moment anyway.

I like the Souls games, but the combat in them is deliberately bad in order to encourage careful play. The animation lock alone would sink any traditional brawler. I think a good game based on the Berserk license should play more like Devil May Cry, with a fast paced and interesting mechanics that build off each other.

Severance is the closest thing to a Berserk game.

DMC is way too fast imo. I never got on with it because it was about hitting enemies loads of times rather than once, definitively, with a huge weapon.

Do you mean "deliberately slow"? Because if it accomplishes its goals, I don't see how you can call it "bad".

I wouldn't even call it slow, 'precise' is a better word. Especially for Bloodborne, which is anything but slow.

Combat closer to non-small weapons in monster hunter should be ok too. They still feel heavy and powerful but you can do all kinds of techniques if you have the proper timing.

Big weighty swings with a sword the size of a dinner table sound perfect for Berserk.

But only if you jump around like a ferret in crack. Hiding behind a shield is very not Berserk.

Speaking of Berserk games, Kornel Kisielewicz was on Roguelike Radio not too long ago and it sounded like he was hoping to update the Berserk roguelike again at some point. So that'd be cool.

There was a PS2 game.
Haven't played it so dunno if it's good but it looks decent and the sword makes a good sound.

It was slow and grindy and perfectly Berserk. Sometimes did a very decent job of finding a middle ground in conveying Guts' strength and speed as well as how impossibly unwieldy the dragon slayer is.

So they released the cast and staff for the new anime.

It's kind of a mixed bag. The staff seems pretty mediocre. On the other hand, it sounds like they're animating the whole conviction arc!

most of the staff being known for comedy is a bit weird but Itagaki has at least been good doing that. Having Sagisu back to do music with an insert song by Hirasawa Susumu is great though. didn't care to look into the VAs.

There is some good news out of all of this, aside from a new teaser image - Miura himself will be an executive supervisor for the series, which is a likely explanation for the hiatus. Makes me wonder if he was irritated by how the films turned out?

There's a fancy new trailer.

Looks like they might have a new shader going on that mitigates the PlayStation 2 quality of it all a bit. The brief shot of Farnese's group shows that they're not afraid to use a bit of color either, which is nice as most adaptations have gone for fairly drab color schemes.
