what the fuck does that mean? Do you mean "Dark Souls game"? "Souls" is not a descriptor or a series.

Souls is dead. Miyazaki said he's done, and he's moving back to mech games.
Therefore, we don't create the next Souls game, unless you want to create all the shitty rip offs like Lords of the Fallen or Salt and Sanctuary.
Okay so hear me out: what if we take dark souls but make it open world and set during modern times in a zombie apocalypse and add crafting and survival mechanics? It could be soooooo epic!
>>337682796
It is. Wake up
>>337682796
Yes, it is. Hence why there are soulslike games.
Sorry your autism requires super specific description.
>>337682910
Fuck, we need to get more money to fund this amazing idea, let's put it up on early access.
>>337682903
Mech games sells shit. Souls games are the most cool and hip games out there. Do the math.
Grim Souls
Set during black death pandemic
Dodgeroll no longer has iframes
You play as plague doctor
It has cute girls
>>337683071
>It has cute girls
Fuck you waifufag
Inb4 not liking cute girls
>>337682693
arabian, greco-roman or asian themed
would have to do something about the gameplay though because it's getting stale
next
WW1 souls
You wander through endless trenches, fighting horrors of warBut you're already dead.
>>337683129
>asian themed
You're gonna get called a weeaboo
>arabian
You're gonna get called a terrorist
>greco-roman
You're gonna get called
>>337683204
More games need to be set in The Darkness' version of Hell
>>337682976
>Hence why there are soulslike games.
No, there aren't.
Blame! souls
You wander through megastructure, killing cybernetic organisms.But you're an android and your memoreis are fake
>>337683332
NecroVision is basically that. it's not very good, but I still love it for what it is.
>>337682693
Stranded on an alien planet.
You have to uncover alien story and archeology.
you use futuristic melee shit and allien weaponry.
every time you die, you return to the checkpoint due to some kind of timespace distortion that will be explained through deep lore
PunPun souls.
You wander through different periods of life - child, teen, adult, and fight existential crysis.But nobody can save you from the dread of existence
No shitty hubworld bullshit
Probably the number one reason why DaS1 was easily the best Souls game. Unlocking the undead parish shortcut was fucking cocaine the first time around. Not to mention if you explored enough you could have a completely different first time experience compared to everyone else compared to linear souls 3. On repeat playthroughs you could go do whatever the fuck you wanted and go grab your favorite weapon. Plus teleporting every 2 seconds and having to go back to the shrine to level up ruins the flow like a river of rocks and pudding.
>>337683434
>it was all a dream meme
0/10
>>337682796
It's definitely a series. Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 2 and 3, and Bloodborne. Just because there's no official title for all of them doesn't mean that it's not clearly a series with similar mechanics, storytelling style, and overall tone
>>337682903
Actually Bandai Namco owns the Dark Souls IP, and they can do whatever they want with it.
Plus Dark Souls 3 is making mad money soooooo.
Taxi driver souls.
You wonder through the ghetto streets on new york on your car, fighting with the inequality and lies of establishment.But you die after you save the lil' hooker and the happy ending is created by your dying consciousness
Vietnam souls.
You wonder through the jungles, killing charlies.But deep inside you're the charlie
>Western souls, with bone magic
>You fight Skinwalkers, Chupacabras, and Ant people
>Cajun souls, with booze magic
>You fight werewolves and swamp monsters
>Post-apocalypse souls, with technology 'magic'
>You fight crazed marauders, motorcycle mutants, and malfunctioning mobile suits
Tubmlr souls.
You wonder through the internet, starting flame wars with the feminists.But you're actually not their shield
BLAME! Souls.
EVERY
DAY
UNTIL
YOU
LIKE
IT
>>337682693
Make the enviroment more detailed and give the sense of a truly interconnected world that the first Dark Souls tried to give. Remove the level-like structure ala Demon's Souls. It doesn't need to be big. Being as large as DaS1 is probably enough.
Balance different playstyles without completely rendering certain ones useless or making certain strategies too good. A solution could be making sure each playstyle had a serious "low point" during the game. Example: Melee is hard/average in the early game, becomes easier in the mid-late game. Magic is easy in the early game, becomes harder in the mid-late game etc.
Keep the Focus Point system from DaS3 along with Ashen Estus Flask. Estus Flask allotation too. No other healing items besides Estus. Keep a small hub like Firelink Shrine to find NPCs (include shrine waifu if you want) but no waifu leveling. Allow the game to let you level up at checkpoints. Give the waifu some other use.
PvP is generally fucked in every Souls game for different reasons so I'm not going to bother saying something to help it.
Don't be too afraid to make creative bosses/enemies like in Demon's Souls (of course not going full Bed of Chaos/Dragon God)
That's all I have in mind at the moment.
Gameplay could also use a rework but I have no ideas right now.
>>337682796
souls still means souledge/calibur to me
they coined it almost 2 decades sooner newcucks
>>337682693
Neo-80's souls
Set in Manhattan, New York
>>337684595
When you retrowave kids will get the fuck out of this place
You are a robot janitor working for 'The Management' in a huge tower made to shelter people after the world was destroyed. The character creator/fashion is like PSO's CASTs. The hub world is the lift. Horrible bullshit is going on inside this tower and you have to clean up. Normal ending is doing the stuff you were programmed to do. True end is going sentient and killing the weak human leaders that allowed this shit to happen in the first place. You become the kickstart to the robot uprising.
>>337683350
>what is bloodborne
>>337685149
Bloodborne is a souls game, not soulslike
Scifi souls.
Wander the FUTURE, only the future sucks and everyone's been driven crazy by some nanomachines of future drug or some shit. Level up by getting increasingly advanced robot implants in you or some shit. Laser weapons and firearms, Bloodborne-style.
Gotta figure out what happened and end the plague of crazy motherfuckers somehow.
Some sort of sci-fi souls
A cargo ship is lost in space and lands on a hospitable alien world, you and your crew-mates have to survive by exploring the long abandoned civilization of an unknown alien race while fighting off the native fauna and discovering how to use advanced leftover alien technology.
Mesoamerican Souls when?
It's already like Souls in real life. Giant, abondoned kingdoms with evidence of crazy rituals and sacrifices.
Just imagine hearing this as a snake warrior attacks you
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I9QuO09z-SI
>>337685286
you've just described Metroid.
How about you invest the time to get Nioh to PC for us instead?
>>337685407
>that video
Aztecs were hardcore
>>337685286
>you and your crew-mates
Not soulsy at all. The staple of souls setting is that you have a vast, dead world, and you are one of many others people who try to figure out what the fuck is happened
>>337685575
Nioh is boring. Oriental settings are boring, even FS made a some oriental themed gamesand they're all shit
>>337684549
you're the newcuck because From stole the Souls title from calibur series (that's it's new title since it got cucked so hard)
Mario Souls
You are Mario
>>337683071
so Bloodborne?
SM64 mobility with Souls combat (maybe more combos instead of R1 spam).
LessQTE.
>>337685616
yeah, but a staple of the scifi genre is a living, vibrant, populated world
>>337686049
Blame! manga is a good example of vast and empty world, but somehow populated with different organisms and cultures. It's a great candidate for souls game. Miyazaki already ripped off Berserk! manga, I hope he reads Blame! too.
>>337682693
Sizesouls
most enemies are tall women
most bossed are very tall women
some bosses are defenseless maiden protected by a monster in flames
all gods are gigantic women
final boss is a giant women, the arena is the foot of a titanic woman
miyazaki doesn't hide his fetish anymore
you guys will buy it anyway
>>337686189
is Blame good? I've heard of it before, but I thought that it was just /a/ memeing on me
>>337686260
I didn't liked it, I prefer Dorohedoro, but I can see why people like this manga. Blame! is like ambient music, it's more show than tell. So, just like souls games.
>>337683616
There's something that would make actually playing more fun though. Maybe it's just the emptiness of it all, but the general mobs aren't interesting either. It's a super quiet game to play that's also almost frustrating. It's a shitty combination, and the gameplay / mob design really is shallow.
The game would honestly be much better if the multiplayer had persistent players instead of invasions. AI doesn't have to be super deep because there are players to have dynamic instigations with.
>>337682693
Instead of "hollowing," dying causes you to become a skeleton.
how would you handle the weaponry of a scifi souls game?
Would it be BB-style firearms in one hand, scifi trick weapon in the other hand? Would there be some kind of riot shield?
How would you incorporate magic? Nanomachines, son?
What would leveling be? Cyborg implants and upgrades?
>>337682693
Gameplay is like Bloodborne.
Customization is a cross between a Souls game and Armored Core
Setting is ripped straight out of Blame!
>>337683332
Best depiction of hell in media.
>>337686447
How about mistical sci-fi with cyber gods and shit? And the ammo and energy is so scarce so people fight with primitive melee weapons, but if you level up enough you can use more advanced and forgotten technology.
>>337683254
Actually you'll be called a cuck if it's arabian themed
>>337684549
Caliber series is ded
>>337685734
>>337685881
Mario mind
just let it die
But what if they resseruct Echo Night series? Story driven games are pretty hip right now.
Berserk Souls
>>337682693
Frontier souls.
Pre wild West where you play as a settler moving West but you are killed by a native American shaman and brought back to life.
You journey across an unsettled frontier fighting fucked up Indian demons and monsters and Shit. (wendigo and skinwalkers any1?)
BB paced gameplay with your main being a very early revolver or blunderbuss. Secondary being old cavalry swords n Hatchets n logging axes and other assorted things. Or switch it. Gun secondary idgaf.
There's plenty of Native lore to find bosses and mob enemies. Like kill fucked up versions of their gods or somethin Idk.
Not my original idea. Read it on here somewhere and it stuck with me.
Cavemansouls
You're a caveman fighting off lions and tigers in the bush with spears and hand made tools.
You're always SL1 with no armour.
>>337682693
>wanting another rehash
golly gee Nintendo should just buy them
>>337687371
but anon, DeS already exists
>>337687395
Sounds decent, with the exception that the levels would probably be shitty unless you go with a DeS style hub system that links to specific levels.
>>337687560
You can throw dung pies

>>337687395

>>337685407 would actually be better. Start off as a conquistador and your landing party gets wiped out by Aztecs. You get sacrificed to a death God that brings you back in a hellscape version of that one city floating in a lake... Tenochitlan or something. What's it called?
>>337685407
man this shit is cool
Imagine all of the stuff we'll never ever know about because the Spanish/Portuguese erased it before it could be written down
Ghetto souls
BoganSouls
Takes place down under
R1/R2 use your knife
L2 use your boomerang, have to press L2 again when catching it, if you don't, it knocks you over the head and you die.
L1 use your hooly dooly Magic passed on down from the abos.
Press up on the D-pad to skull a can on Victorian Bitter which increases your banta level temporarily, making your boomerang throws more deadly.
Enemies consist of locals such as loud annoying aboriginals, loud annoying bogans, loud annoying lads (don't go to the train station at the start of the game you'll get swarmed) loud annoying school drop outs, and australian wildlife, crocs that stand up on 2 legs, roo's that 4 arms, white tail spiders that add a poison effect that kills you in 2 seconds, possums that use their tailed as whips, cockatoos that use their yellow mohawk like thing as a chainsaw, koalas that latch onto your face and rip your head off.
Boss fights consist of Australian legends, crocodile dundee, Steve Irwin and his stand Stingray, Peter Garret, Bon Scott and Angus Young, Hugh Jackman in his second from he turns into wolverine.
Instead of a health bar you have a grip bar, if your grip bar is fully depleted by taking hits from enemies, you lose your grip of earth and you fall into the sun resulting in a "YOU'RE A DEAD CUNT" screen.
>>337687642
Let's have another
>>337688074
Airwrecka, the Queen of Ratchet
Far future souls
You're an explorer on an alien planet whose civilization collapsed aeons ago and you're learning who they were and what caused their collapse as you fight off left over defensive automatons that they built to protect their cultural icons.
Just take the Shivering Isles DLC from Oblivion and give it to fromsoftware. I'd love to see a madgod boss fight.
When you die he just laughs
>Come back and see me again, or I'll pluck out your eyes! haha
Also seeing the lands of Mania and Dementia in a souls like art style would be pretty sweet.
Deep Souls
Your submarine has crashed in a trench. You are armed only with a flashlight and a harpoon.
You explore an atlantis-inspired ruin in the cold, dark depths.
There are many horrors of the sea waiting to murder you at every turn.
Bosses would be long-lost creatures from said atlantean ruin, and regular enemies would be deep sea creatures.It turns out this city was once like the world above, but fell into an age of darkness when the fire faded.
>>337682693
>pepe image
You can stop living anytime
drowned souls. You are shipwrecked on a cursed island drawn here by promise of treasure or duty. The island existed in a different realm and all are prevented from escaping. Dark and stormy is the setting. Theres a castle visible from the shore. Areas include a ship graveyard, sunken prisons, ascending the outside of a few towers by the scaffolding between them. That or just do shadow tower 3
>>337682693
Gameplay is whatever
World is like interconnected like DaS
No fast travel until late in the game if necessary
There are no shit bosses (bed of chaos, deacons, literally every boss from DaS2, etc)
>>337682693
every door is a mimic
>Mimics are randomised each playthrough
>If you die before reclaiming souls from your bloodstain, an enemy hollow might pick up your lost souls and become considerably stronger.
>World is interconnected better than DS1
>Game is extremely non-linear
>no swamp levels
>no sewer levels
>no shitty bosses
>you can still be invaded if you're hollow/the area boss is dead, but the chance is significantly lower
>spells can be upgraded to +5 with a special form of titanite

>>337688831
kevin costner pls
what would be the most interesting setting to import souls-style gameplay into?
NEW setting, mind you
I'd make it set on a giant spaceship/station at the end of the universe where all the stars are dying out, and it's a huge interconnected space station with lots of cyberpunk elements and stuff.
>>337682693
Remove rolling
Add quicktime events
I'm not sure if From software will create another souls type game. Haven't they saied that DS3 is their last one?
But since the series is selling the best it ever has right now, maybe they won't stop. Perhaps a bloodborne 2 or something.
Either way they've paved the way for many shitty souls like clone games to come forward. Lords of the fallen was pretty similar and I even saw some PS4 exclusive game that looks like dark souls but set in mythical Japan with samurais and ninjas and shit. When I saw gameplay of that I was literally laughing for about 9 minutes straight. I mean, really guys?
Next they'll be a sci-fi one. Imagine dead space with lightsabers and tougher enemies.
Now my brain won't stop working. Imagine if dead space had invasions back in the day and you could become a necromorph to fuck with the players head. That would have been sweet. Now we're all used to invasions and stuff so that novelty isn't new anymore but still..
Do you think a sci-fi, or even a contemporary Soulsborne could work?
>>337689880
Mesoamerican
>>337682693
take a game
Have like 15 areas with different themes
between those areas, have 10 areas (of which 5 are secret) that are a cross between those themes

I can't honestly think of another time period as good as demons/dark souls with his fantasy setting. The timeline could be endless and the possibilities of fantasy creatures to kill is pretty endless too.

OK im officially done with gaming. All that resource and dev time wasted on yet ANOTHER clone. Unless this guy is lying? Source anyone? This can't be true?
>>337690482
How new are you to gaming, pal?
>>337690376
>thinks miyazaki is in it for the money
Didn't he quit his good paying job back in the day just to create video games and earn basically no money? For 10 years? Its his passion and hobby, I think he just wants to create something new now. The studio is mainstream so that alot of fans would buy their next product anyway even if it isn't souls related.
>>337690256
I guess so. I liked the idea >>337687812
had. I feel like a Conquistador MC would be more relatable.
>>337690482
Hes lies, ive never heard of it anyway. But then again I dont own a nogamezstation4.
>>337683616
Exactly this
I spent like 10 minutes exploring Firelink trying to figure out where to go, but then I realized the you had to warp. It makes it hard to feel like Firelink is connected with the rest of the world, because I have no idea where it is geographically in comparison to other areas.
there are 20 Armored Core games, if you think From isnt going to make another soulsborne game you are fucking retarded
>>337690937
So, you haven't beaten the Oceiros yet, right?
what are the odds of ds3 getting a "scholar of the first sin" revamp? i dont wanna buy 2 games
>>337690653
I'm pretty sure when he quit that good paying job he went into vidya hoping to make good money anon, just a slow start but look at him now. From fucking niche ass Demons Souls to Dark souls 3 played by fags like pewdiepie now
You're right though anything they put out now will probably be noticed by the mainshitters. Has to be cool though, mechs are pretty unventured in video gaymes
>>337691050
probably not
>>337691050
That was just for the extra sales juice when porting it to xbox one and ps4
>>337690267
>Blame!
>pronounced "Blam!"
wut
>>337690974
To be fair, they said their next game won't be a Souls or Souls-like.
Anyway, Light Souls.
You are the Chosen Demon, you and the Armies of Hell are invading Heaven as the Apocalypse of legend happens on the planet below and the forces of Heaven are greatly weakened as a result.
You face off against a myriad of Angels and "Saved" spirits, spirits of which replace the common Hollow, while Angels and a select few "other" entities fill the role of every other monster and boss.
As you conquer notable enemies (ones who don't respawn) and bosses, the Heavens in their multiplicitous and varied glory will be consumed by demonic power, turning it from blue, white and gold everything to black, gray and red with any form of organic life becoming twisted and grasslands becoming barren.
Each boss killed will be consumed by Demonic Power, becoming an NPC in the central hub to sell you shit and offer assistance in select parts later in the game.
There are exactly 7 mandatory bosses before the "Final" boss in the form of the 7 Virtues, with optional "Guardian" bosses before them that have their own arenas, but can be bypassed all together with enough work.

>You are an aspiring worker in the Corporate Espionage business
>You want to bring down as many if not all of 7 major companies

>You pledge yourself to one of the 7 Corporations (or none) after the tutorial
>This decides your hub area and the missions you will go on
>There is a suggested order for each choice, but no mandatory order, the city itself is quite open and the different Corporations all own different parts
>The "No Corporation" option gives you access to an Anarchist group who wants to bring them all down, but their wares are total shit early on in comparison
>You have to sneak in/break in to each major headquarters and kill the President of each company, who have wired into their heads all the information you'd need to completely blow open and destroy that Company
>You can join a company from none at any time between missions which will ease the burden in terms of gear, assuming you haven't killed them yet
>But you cannot join the Rebels after joining a Corporation ever because they despise scabs and corporate dogs
>You can join any other Corporation, but you will piss off the corporation you left and give you the equivalent of Dried Finger priority while "jacked into the system," equivalent to Ember/Humanity

A Souls game where you play as a damned soul making your way through the nine circles of hell, Dante-style. Lots of world-design potential, and that trademark Dark Souls verticalness.
Maybe in the end, you make your away to the final circle and kill Satan. Either you take his place as lord of the damned and continue the cycle of torment, or you let the souls of the damned escape. Obviously, the second option leads to an apocalyptic mass undeath scenario, setting the stage for yet another Souls sequel.
futuristic technology shit, you fight monsters like you know in akira when tetsuo's arm got all big and shit and started absorbing stuff. would be p cool.

I've got it!
You have this guy, right, who's weak to everything, and you have to roll then attack and repeat for the entire game!
Souls shit is literally the most rehashed and boring franchise /v/ won't shut the fuck up about.

>how would you handle the weaponry of a scifi souls game?
sci fi is a big subject so you can go to town on it without it being historically inaccurate, beam sabers and everything would be great, but not over the top like spaceballs over the top.
>Would it be BB-style firearms in one hand, scifi trick weapon in the other hand? Would there be some kind of riot shield?
maybe a regular mode and like an "overcharge" mode that you can only use for a certain time ? maybe it drains stamina or energy or whatever so you cant spam the big guns constantly but have to wait till you can hit that sweet spot.
>How would you incorporate magic? Nanomachines, son?
probably nanomachines, most straightforward answer that most people would just go with and say that's ok
>What would leveling be? Cyborg implants and upgrades?
special nanites that upgrade you on a cellular level, you harvest them from enemies after you beat them and would fit the souls motif the most that people are already used to, cyborg implants would be pretty neat, not many games have done this at all i think except maybe stuff like system shock and that was ages ago.
we can even use this anons title to name the game

HULK SOULS
You play as Hulk. You fight giant Kaiju bosses.
At the start of the game character gets hit with the blast, absorbing massive amounts of gamma radiation. You can customize your monster appearance to whatever you like (The Thing, Doomsday, Frankenstein, etc)
Your main weapon is fists + whatever shit you can find on the ground.
>>337682693
After you die, instead of regaining your lost souls from a bloodstain, you have to kill whichever enemy killed you. If it's a regular enemy it gets a significant power boost. Dying from the environment spawns a phantom enemy.

>>Mimics are randomised each playthrough
good
>>If you die before reclaiming souls from your bloodstain, an enemy hollow might pick up your lost souls and become considerably stronger.
good, even better if the boss can do it
>>World is interconnected better than DS1
good
>>Game is extremely non-linear
good
>>no swamp levels
bad i liked quelaags domain, even if it was frustrating it's what dark souls is, it pushes you down but you need to get up again.
>>no sewer levels
and that one too
>>no shitty bosses
the rat boss can go fuck itself it was filler anyway
>>you can still be invaded if you're hollow/the area boss is dead, but the chance is significantly lower
i'm ok with that
>>spells can be upgraded to +5 with a special form of titanite
yes mages really need some sort of an upgrade to make them viable vs 1 hit ko melee backstab builds, just upgrading staves isnt enough honestly.
>>bonfire ascetics
very yes, it's more fun when it's challenging.

Why not make a Titan Quest style game but with a Dark Souls/Demon Souls flavor ?
>>337683578
>>337683572
I'd play that. Sounds cool.Then again, I'd play any souls like game. I'm a dirty fanboy
Dark Souls 1 but you play as Leon Kennedy

Ancient Mesopotamia

This would be great.
>>337688831
This would be good too, but it definitely needs a different name.
>>337682693
I had a dream that there was a sequel called Goblin Souls where all you fought were goblins and goblin-like creatures. It was pretty good from what I remember of it.

>Some of Bamco well known IPs are Tales and Gintama
>A mix of Tales x Souls gameplay
>Or a Gintama with Souls gameplay which is basically a weeb version of Nioh
