Ask yourself what a second Dark Souls game would even be about. Everything kinda got wrapped up in the OG.

So you’re saying Bloodborne 2 will be worse? Good thing it’s never happening then

i'm pretty fine with them being really blatant about it and just giving themselves the chance to jettison from the wrung-out dark souls setting. if they made shittier games it might be a problem, but they don't

If they kept making Dark Soulses but in a new setting each time I'd be a happy chappy.

Bloodborne was also initiated by and co-developed with Japan Studio and they're gone now. I don't think FROM will ever be revisiting it themselves.

George R.R. Martin is involved in the project and he's old and fat
J. R. R. Tolkien wrote a book about a ring

I guess?

i do think there was an article a year or so back where george r r martin was asked about his contribution to the project and it summed up as something like "yeah they asked me for a 10 page story design document 7 years ago and i sent it over and they sent me a check and i never heard from them again" so hopefully there's not going to be too much of his fingerprints on it

Not like From Software to revisit a game made with another company that they don’t fully own the IP to, say under a slightly changed name for legal reasons.

Hopefully the success of Elden Ring will get them to make an open world armored core.

Miyazaki said he used GRRM's work as a dungeon master would use a campaign setting guide so I imagine there's nothing specifically from GRRM's writing in the narrative.

If you're a slut for steelbook cases like I am, if you pre-order from Best Buy you get a steelbook case for free. This is for the US. I don't know if it's available anywhere else.

I love the idea that steelbook cases will actually have some value one day. At the moment they just take up space since most Switch games come with a regular case and a steelbook case.

Are they in the empty pot? or are they like the Koroks and you find a Micolash under a rock and he gives you sticky white stuff or poop?

All the werewolves in the trailers and the "wolf warrior" class in the network test is making me cross my fingers that there is a secret way to become a werewolf just like how Bloodborne had a secret way to become a beast (and kin).

This is Zullie the Witch from youtube who generally does 2 - 3 min videos on fromsoft games about stuff a hacker can only find out.

It is the gameplay video with some interesting points added along the way.

Nah the wolf warrior class just has a special ability to harass anyone who says "Taiwan" online

I was confused about mind/int/faith/arcane because I didn't play Bloodborne, but it does make me wonder if they'll be doing item magic too now that I know what it was. No matter what, it seems like there's gonna be LOTS of abilities here.
