They're milking the money cow as good as they can. Can't blame them, FromSoft CoD'ified the RPG-Genre and the masses are still willing and waiting to gulp down Dark Souls' next iteration.

Video games are really fucking gay nowadays. I should go back reading books.
 
Japan studios was the reason by Bloodborne was as good as it was.

@Justin Igger Halo never had generic music. Marty unironically knew how to score a game in ways that no one has ever come close to. Mostly due to the fact that he played the games prior to writing the music.
What kinda retard would think Halo had generic music? Hell Halo 2 had a full on fucking prog rock EPs worth of music made for it most of it had to get cut which most people don't even know about because it's only on the OST CDs. The only way someone would think Halo had mediocre music would be if they if listened to only the main theme (which isn't even generic) or if they listened to 343 slop. People also always forget Marty wasn't just the composer, he was the general audio director meaning he did everything from sound design to VA direction and some writing.

What exactly did Japan Studio do on Bloodborne because all I've ever seen is they did some concept art?
 
Now I'm getting worried
You should have been worried since Elden Ring: literally half the stuff in that game is just asset flip bullshit from previous games.
Remember the good old days where Fromsoft reusing the Asylum Demon twice was the height of their laziness? Then they reused literally more than 20 times in Elden Ring as the "Erdtree Avatar".
And even the few new enemies and bosses they made for that game they copy-pasted about a billion times.

Fromsoft has realised that they can pump out games by only doing 10% (if that) of the work by just reusing shit they already have and adding a thin coat of paint on top and their fanbase of Soft suckers will swallow it all.

I still listen to halo music for study.
This one especially. Plays once (1 time!) And only shortly depending on how you play the mission in Reach. So good. Very consistent yet varied enough OSTs compared to lets say Elden Ring or soulsborne itself lmao.
 
Is there any salt from the Bloodbourne/Sony fanboys about this?
As someone who has pingponged between Sony and Nintendo consoles over the many years, I'm considering selling my consoles, old and new, and just quitting this hobby outside of PC. I got enough games to play for a good while even without emulation, and part of me doesn't even want to bother with emulation because I just don't care for the brands anymore specifically because of bullshit like what's happening now.

I don't mind paying good money for exclusives (I bought my PS4 back in the day for Bloodborne as much as to play DVDs), but I just have trouble caring about anything FromSoft if they've lost their mojo this badly.
 
Something that nobody else really mentions is that every new souls like they release, it further spreads apart the playerbase across multiple games. Leading to less online interactions.
But then again almost every call of duty is still active so who knows
 
Crossposting but to add insult to injury this thing apparently is going to run at 30FPS.

I was willing to let Nightreign slide as a side thing that reused assets in between projects.

Now I'm getting worried. Not only is this Miyazaki's next game, but it's very strange to release 2 multiplayer games on top of each other like this.

I really hope we're not witnessing From morph into yet another bastardized live service sludge developer.
You can confirm Miyazaki is working on this and this isn't merely a B-team project?

How can anyone even call From games RPGs at this point? Ranni is Elden Souls most fleshed out character and her entire quest doesnt fill a 15 minute video.

From games are really just dungeon crawlers or whatever, where you have some vague item description on a blade of grass you picked up that pretends to have some deeper meaning to a game where you roll around on the floor.
I think the only one where the story mattered was Bloodborne and that is only because its just HP Lovecraft on top.
