Everyone want this so fucking bad.
And it's never gonna happen.

Outside of a new aesthetic what would this really do? And that picture looks fucking lame.
It's called Armored Core.

We could go even faster than bloodborne
The Surge says hello
I love souls games but they need to stop it. I'd rather get one solid game in 4 years than a yearly Dark Souls 2. Also melee in sci fi is dumb
>>339350053
Literally nobody wants this. Fuck off back to tumblr.

Make it steampunk souls and you have the shittiest idea.
>>339350827
It's basically the same thing anyways, anon. If you like DS you're just as much a weeb as any anime fan, sorry.
>A sci-fi setting in which people use mostly melee weapons
>>339350053
It'll never happen because there's no sci-fi Berserk to "inspire" them.
>>339351264

>>339351419
>>339351364
I would give all of my sheckles to fight a giant sandword with only a kris knife and shield belt in Dark Souls fashion. Holy crap I'm hard.

But how R they gonna balance out the Gun & Melee Damage output?
>>339350053
No thanks, I'd rather want a Souls game based on japanese Mythology.
The image you posted looks shit and generic as fuck. Almost like PSO 2 enemies.
>>339352158
Extremely limited bullets, BB style.
>>339351516
Something that aged like milk which people only pretend to enjoy because of it being pushed so hard as essential nerd culture.
I find sci fi games way easier to get into than fantasy games for some reason. I just hate the atmosphere in most fantasy games.
>>339351859

It is basically I have no mouth but I must scream thematically + combat

>>339351754
>>It should have a system where you activate checkpoints at which you will respawn if you get killed, instead of just outright dying like Souls games
So . . bonfires, lampposts, archstones, etc, like Souls?
Instead of more Souls, From should just do something completely new.
>>339352184
>No thanks, I'd rather want a Souls game based on japanese Mythology.
But you're already getting that
>>339352158
make bullets one shot

this is the future, after all
>>339352271
I'm skeptical about Nioh and games in general that try to imitate another franchise.
>>339352241
nah, they're not gonna get money out of doing anything outside of what they're known for.
>>339352241
Fucking shut your whore mouth.
If from stops making souls games, the genre is fucking dead. There's no other games even close to it. Even games that try really hard like Nioh and Lord of Fallen fail to grasp what makes the formula great.
>>339352349
>From the studio that brought you Dark Souls
wow that was a tough marketing job
>>339352314
Lords of the Fallen is imitation. Nioh is mostly its own thing with some "inspiration".
Anyone here want an gene wolfe Book of the new sun inspired souls game ?
>>339350053
>It'll be the same thing but with robots and sword with neons on them
WOW!
I need a Souls-like with the Dead Space atmosphere :
>main protagonist is called The Engineer
>industrial weapons with transformations just like BB
>Alien atmosphere
>NPCs are weird crazy guys or survivors just like you
>During the second part of the game, you leave the ship and visit a spoopy planet
>>339352581
Dead Space's art style is still GOAT, goddamn.
>>339352581
Cyber Souls will be something between Blame!, Warframe and Gantz.
Dumping some shit from the artbook
>>339352506
Souls fans generally want the game to be pretty similar mechanically. BB was probably about as different as they could get without upsetting a lot of autists.
>>339352363
Fuck you I want more Otogi and Armored Core.
>>339352736
Man, a Blame / Souls game would be so based.
>>339352736
>>339351364
motherfucking Blame!
Make it like Warhammer Space marines style!!!
>>339352863

Oh my gosh you gotta be Joshing me right now.
>>339352363
>If from stops making souls games, the genre is fucking dead. There's no other games even close to it.
What made Souls so popular in the first place is that it was something unique and different. And now that fanbase doesn't want something unique and different anymore, how ironic.
Enjoy your cinematic universes and annual franchises.

>>339350273
the surge looks like budget dungeon crawler made from bunch of random assets, it's not even near this picture
>>339350179
but aesthetics are important. post-apo cyberpunk where you explore abandoned hi-tech ruins and slowly learn about humanity downfall through small pieces of lore is great idea, even if difference between normal souls and this is "just aesthetics".
is there a chance we will hear news about FROM's new game at E3?
>>339353321
Probably. They're pumping these out like crazy. 3 games, 4 DLCs since 2014.
>>339352158
Melee does more damage, duh. Mechs do actually work well with this system since bullets hitting like spitballs requires less suspension of disbelief than hitting normal people in spandex.
>>339352775
I want variety after the shitfest of "more of the same" in DS3. I would not be opposed to a Souls that somehow crammed MGR-like gameplay into the normal formula, co-op action (and even crazier bosses to compensate) and all.
Less upgrading, less special snowflake weapons that are just normal weapon + gimmick, more abilities per weapon, more focus on player skill. Bloodborne did most of this correctly, but sci-fi can go so much further especially with ranged weapons added to the mix.
>>339353097
Killy, a silent loner possessing an incredibly powerful weapon known as a Gravitational Beam Emitter, wanders a vast technological world known as "The City". He is searching for Net Terminal Genes, a (possibly) extinct genetic marker that allows humans to access the "Netsphere", a sort of computerized control network for The City. The City is an endless vertical space of artificially-constructed walls, stairways and caverns, separated into massive "floors" by nearly-impenetrable barriers known as "Megastructure". The City is inhabited by scattered human and transhuman tribes as well as hostile cyborgs known as Silicon Creatures.
>>339353167
>>339353297
true.
But OP's picture is still lame as fuck and neither cyberpunk nor post-apo.
>>339352079
I'm thinking that's exactly what we'll get, I'm hopeful too. Source on the pic by the way? That's some eerie shit,
>>339353391
I prefer BB's system of "bullets hit fucking hard but there's not a lot of them" to Devil May Cry's system of "bullets are so fucking pissweak and useless why are they even in the game".
>>339353395
This sounds Souls as fuck

>>339351583
>>339350820
>>339350238
Metal Gear Rising
>>339353460
I was thinking more of something in between. Armored Core achieved this balance with a bias towards ranged weapons. We can just tip the balance and focus the other way without too much trouble. Still prefer something more grounded and less aerial than AC though.
>>339352158
Mass Effect deals with this via kinetic barriers, they're designed to deflect projectiles travelling at harmful speed, but a sword is slow enough to bypass them. It's why melee is so overpowered in the series.
>>339351572
You are right it's better other one is shit
>>339351364
Aside from Blame, there's tons of shit they could use for inspiration. I'd rather they use Battle Angel Alita, if anything.
>>339353554
Sliding and exploration, tho.
>>339352158
No aiming
>>339353395
>>339352581
Sounds like something Dead Space 3 should be
>Sci-fi Souls game
So a faster Souls game with next to no atmosphere and good music that focuses on concepts like grey goo, botnets and the singularity as you hack your way through machines and organic masses that are fused onto machines?
>>339350614
>your

>>339350827
>MUH DARK SOULS SO SERIOUS
I love Souls and I love how it presents itself and how it lays out the world and story, but there is so much dumb bullshit in Souls you'd have to be retarded to think it's completely serious.
>>339353636
Battle Angel Alita didn't really strike me as horrifying in any way and souls games kinda need that undertone. I kind of get where you are coming from but the opportunity that a Blame! derived setting could give to a souls like game is immense.
>>339350053
How can anyone who hasn't played from the start (DeS or DaS) not be bored of the Souls formula by now? It's stale as shit, the only thing a sci-fi Souls game would do well is aesthetics, the rest of it would be the same gameplay we've had over and over again. I like Souls games but I think it's time to let it die, it's already bordering on CoD levels of endless resurrection.
I really need to read Blame!. I downloaded it ages ago and never touched it.

>next to no atmosphere
Why, because it's sci-fi? Most good sci-fi games have phenominal atmosphere. BioShock, Alien Isolation, Metro 2033, etc
>>339353863
It's so grimdark and edgy, I love it, but there are some obvious places where it didn't take itself seriously. Onion Bro and the Serpents for example. And emotes, especially in DS3.
>>339353957
Let's not forget Dead Space, that's what got me into the idea of a Sci-Fi Souls, Dead Space plus Dark Souls. Necromorphs are fucking MADE for Souls.
>>339350053
someone tell me why they want this? it's not like the game play is going to be any different. just going to be with robotic aesthetic. I'm really not interested in another souls game unless they do something to make the gameplay more interesting.
>>339354035
Dead Space 3 even had a dodge roll.
A useless dodge roll that's slower than just fucking walking out of the way, but it's there.
>game takes place in what you don't ye tknow is a huge space colony

Could work. Give it some themes inspired by Asimov or Clarke, about the smallness of mankind etc. and I could see it working pretty well.
>>339350053
>wanting yet another fucking Souls game instead of a new Armored Core, Otogi, or Chromehounds
Kill yourself.
>>339353514
Because at this point I've had enough of the dreariness and constant downer atmosphere of the Souls games. Something a bit more upbeat would be a nice change of pace without being any easier.
Like, what if Sullyvahn moved twice as fast, you moved three times as fast, he was more mobile while doing combos, the BGM was electronic metal instead of generic incomprehensible opera, and everyone had glowy bits and shit?
>>339350053

I feel like From should stop making action RPGs and just make action games.
>>339354206
>All sci fi is robots
>All fantasy is Tolkien
>>339354217
But the whole reason Bloodborne was good throughout was because of the bait n switch.
>>339354180
Armored Core's one of the few surviving mecha games, while Dark Souls is just another generic ARPG. Not really comparable desu.
>>339350206
If they re-booted AC with really good controls and a balance of projectile and melee weapons it could be really good.
I loved the first few AC but the combat always degraded into going out of my way to use the beam sword cuz it was fun and the strafing around with Karasomthing beam gun whenever something hard showed up.
>>339354389
What about Dark Souls is generic?
>>339354293
>robots lasers aliens n shit
>wow what amazing use of the science fiction genre that really shook things up
>>339354376
Yeah, but that's Bloodborne.
I want From to make a blatant Castlevania knockoff.

Its the same three dudes. Also why is he unsheathing his sword? Its a from game, he's just always going to have it in his hand
>>339354484
point is you just want the same game with a different coat of paint. not really seeing the point of clamouring for a sci fi souls. go jack off to a star wars game if you want a laser sword
>>339354173
>Like, what if Sullyvahn moved twice as fast, you moved three times as fast, he was more mobile while doing combos, the BGM was electronic metal instead of generic incomprehensible opera, and everyone had glowy bits and shit?
It'd be an incomprehensible clusterfuck
I'd take a Bloodborne sci-fi game.
>>339350053
>Everyone want this so fucking bad.
Well, people with low standards and bad taste, maybe.
I'd really like to see a sci-fi game which takes place in the Space Age of Exploration. Early 22nd century maybe, where humanity hasn't quite made it out of the solar system yet, but it's getting there.
There's colonies on all the terrestrial planets, besides Mercury of course, and then some on Jupiter's and Saturn's moons. Piracy would be a big problem in the asteroid belt, and there would be tensions between Earth and the colonies for independence and shit.
It'd be pretty hard sci-fi. Spacecraft would be pretty fragile, and fights would end quick. Boarding would be common, and melee combat would rule again. Why? Because on relatively small spacecraft, one bad bullet could depressurize the whole thing and kill everyone. And I don't mean flashy energy blades, I'm talking about good, ol' steel.
Thoughts?
I know /v/ hates steampunk, but I'd love a steampunkish Souls set in a Laputa-like world of floating islands and airships. The world would be constantly changing, areas would connect differently depending on which bosses you've beaten, or actions you've taken.
A mechanic of temporary flight/propulsion would be fun, where enemies can take flight and you have to deal with it by making leaps into the air to attack.
>>339354565
>point is you just want the same game with a different coat of paint
Yes, I think that's what we've been saying.
>>339354530
Sword sheaths are the one new thing they add in this game.The sad thing is people would probably lap it up and praise it for being "innovative".
>Wanting the same formula all over again
You fucks are the reason why shit like Cawadudy exists.
Don't make this series turn into one.
Even the creator already realized his mistakes by wanting to create something new instead of milking it.
>>339354173
That sounds fucking horrible.
>>339354607
So you dislike sci-fi that much huh?
>>339354565
>same game
Not him, but fuck no. There's a lot of things From could do better. Just keep a similar style and atmosphere, with some innovation on top of what worked from the previous games. A spiritual successor.
>>339354632
>Gotta deal with gravity
>Gotta deal with oxigen
There's so much mechanics right there in a Outer Space Souls
>>339354263
Not hard enough. It is literally for dancing, not for a human-sized guy slicing up a traditionally gigantic Souls boss while avoiding all the nearby buildings getting knocked to pieces.
Yes MGR is a real meme game but I just want that kind of feel to appear at least once in a Souls game with the progression and exploration combined with fights that were more bombastic and less "mundane estoc pokes 5-story tall demon to death".
The challenge and atmosphere of facing down great odds would still be there but there would be less crestfallen knights and more over-the-topness. Trying to write out this description is getting a little cringey but COME ON ITS 2016.
>>339354757
>tedium of don't die meters
you actually want this in your game?
>>339350453
It can be some kind of electricity / power source thing then.
You destroy other mechs, and take whatever the thing it is that's powering them, or your defeat them and take their scrap.
>>339354526
Aztec souls would literally be the same game as regular dark souls, just with a new layer of paint.
I wouldn't play space souls because sci-fi with melee focus makes no sense at all.
Bug souls (assuming you mean playing as bugs) actually sounds like a new take, though.
>>339354797
You just literally want Metal Gear Rising.
Which is exactly what the OP pic looks like.
So speak for yourself, we want more dreary gloomy atmosphere.
>>339354797
MGR gameplay is not souls gameplay. not remotely close.
How about just a bloodborne sequel way into the future something something space travel. Find great ones in the cosmos. Eh prob garbage. Also damn dude shut up about blame, we get it, its a manga you like lmao
I feel like they shouldn't make any more fantasy games in this series. It'll just get stale.
Obviously they want to keep making these games, half because they make so much money, but I also think this is somewhere Miyazaki shines. I can't make any claim to know the man, but he obviously enjoys making these games, telling a story in this way, building this kind of world.
He's said he wants to try different things, and I think he should. I'd love to see what sort of kiddie game he could come up with. But eventually I think he'll end up coming back to this.
I just hope they can continue to come up with interesting ideas for these games.
>>339354757
>implying this would be good
Hey, let's also put in a hunger system! And a UV exposure system! And a G-force system! Wow, there's so many unnecessary things we can have!

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
>>339353904
Souls isn't really that horrifying. Bloodborne had that kind of horror theme, but not so much Souls.
BAA actually does have some pretty ghastly and weird parts that almost feel like sci-fi Berserk, like all of Desty Nova's experiments.
It doesn't feel horrifying because Alita is almost always in control, but even then it's not always the case, when people she cares for die horribly. It fills a lot of requirements, actually.
-Dystopian environment filled with scumbags and 'afflicted' people who have gone mad and need to be put down before they murder people (crazed cyborgs)
-Factions that are almost entirely unknown to the average person, each with their own highly suspect agenda and actions (Barjack, Hunter Warriors, Tiphares, Nova in his own right, etc. - these could be built-in covenants, even)
-Both giant cybernetic monsters and normal badass dudes make for solid boss designs
-Built-in explanation as to why you'd use mostly melee weapons and hardly ever see guns
-The MC gets their shit wrecked and effectively dies all the time, but manages to keep going by virtue of sheer resolve
I mean, imagine just showing up at the Scrapyard after the Zapan disaster or after the destruction of Bojack. It'd be mostly abandoned, and the few people you meet would either be unreliable or insane. No one knows what's going on, but everyone points to Tiphares to find the answers. It's an ideal setting for a Souls-like game.
>>339354826
I'm not talking about "keep this filled or you die". Shifting gravity or lack of gravity as level design. Lack of oxygen as a "your character is hallucinating shit / seeing this other way you can's see but your defense or reflexes or health is lowered" or some shit. Have some imagination.
>>339354145
>wanting any of those instead of a new Metal Wolf Chaos
ishygddt
>>339354826
Believe it or not, but many people actually like survival/sim mechanics
Eldar Souls
>>339354913
I want Pikmin Souls, Poncle Souls. Chibi Souls.
Exploring a world of undergrowth, fighting tiny beasts and stealing their skeletons to forge armor and weapons.
I'd also like the other two.
And I'd like to point out 2 things.
1. If a new Souls game is a "coat of paint" that's fine, because people keep coming back to this series, despite only one of the games being very different. People just want more of this style of game.
2. Who says an Aztec themed Souls game wouldn't be interesting? Who knows what sort of mechanics they might come up with for such an idea. When we first heard about Project Beast we all expected it to just be Souls with a coat of paint, but it turned out to be very different.
I don't really know why you so hate the idea of a Souls game that isn't set in a Tolkien, european fantasy world. Bloodborne proved that the formula can work in a different setting with a different combat style, and it even showed how magic can be turned into something else entirely, with the guns, and blood weapons, but they also had a more familiar kind of magic with the hunter tools.
I don't see why they should stagnate in the same setting with these games, or why they should kill the series and never make another. There should be more Souls games because people love them, and they should be innovative because why would you want them to stagnate?
>>339350053

Outside of weapon transformations, all of that is a literal description of DS3

This is genuinely a better idea than most of this uninspired sci-fi shit.

The OP pic certainly does give off the impression. And that impression gives me more of a reason to want to play it than another game where I'm a lowly knight who rolls -> R1 -> rolls -> R1s to victory in every single boss battle.
>we
>>339354942
The point is to find inspiration on how to make the Soulsborne formula different. BB merely made things slightly faster with almost no shields available and that was enough to leave a favorable impression with a lot of people.
If COD can add jetpacks into their game and still be accused of being too much of the same, Souls can afford to let the pace be more speedy while keeping to the spirit of the genre.

Sounds like the kind of thing that gets patched after the butthurt begins.
>>339355005
RNG-based KOs are a terrible idea, but the concept is valid.
>>339355393

I want it bad.
Also, Hobo Souls where all the bosses are street people. Doris of The Thousand Cats, Foetid Frank, The Weeping Flesh.

Isn't that just third-person Condemned with RPG mechanics?

Why can't advanced tech have a specific aesthetic?

>>339355630

>>339355558
It's not an instant KO. You'd be able to patch your armor. The only way it'd be a KO is for your armor first to be compromised, and then for a depressurization.
>>339351258
It's a proven fact that Souls is only good when it's world aesthetic and character designs are closest to western origin.
Hence why the game gets worse the more oversized swords and metal fat-suits show up.
It's just science.
>>339355671
Sounds like way too much work bud
If they are going to take the series into a more futuristic (or even modern) setting, they need to make firearms much more viable as mainline weapons.
>>339355005
It'd be better if it wasn't percentage based. It could sort of be like poise, where your armor has its own health, and weapons have a separate special type of damage that only hurts it.
And then explain the poise/armor integrity regeneration with nano machines
>>339355671
Situational RNG-based instant KO is still an instant KO.
Make it more armor degradation based. So it's preventable. Armor breaks in a depressurized environment, you fucking die.
See that's still the instant KO, but without the RNG. RNG is awful, if you can avoid using it, then avoid using it.

No they don't. It doesn't have to be realistic at all.

>Not wanting a pirate souls Game
See now you're asking for new mechanics.
Unless you meant less AC Black Flag and more Risen.
>>339355791
10/10 would pledge allegience
I think the key thing for Souls is that it has to be oppressive. You have to feel like you're a small thing in a big world and that everyone is after your blood.
So I want to make a Souls game about Zoe Quinn.
>>339351264
>A sci-fi in which people fight at all
It will never happen in any feasible future
>>339355853
Yeah, and so instead of getting stunned or whatnot, your armor would be compromised for about six seconds before sealing itself back up.
Mech Souls would only really work if it went full Akira, complete with horrifying biomechanical creatures.
>>339355887
Wouldn't that mean you'd choose something else then?
>>339351364
>what is Blame!
>>339355846
It does if they want to honor the legacy of the series. While there is magic and some improbable weapons and armor in the games, they mostly adhere to a very grounded depiction of archaic equipment.
I want a Souls game set in one area. Not a whole region, or a small kingdom. but set in one big castle, or one city.

That wouldn't be out of the question at all.
In DaSII, every time you died your body became more decayed and you lost a little more max HP.
What would mind decay do? And what would the obligatory item which restores your mind be?
>>339355985
The legacy of the series where the estoc is more terrifying a weapon than the greatsword?
Realistic aesthetic does not require realistic mechanics.
>>339355840
Trophy for beating the game entirely human like Deus Ex HR
>>339356059
>literally castlevania
Yeah, but a Souls game.
I love Symphony of The Night. I want that with Souls gameplay and storytelling.
>>339355991
So Bloodborne?
>>339356026
>It's Michael and Richard already fighting each other
>They don't even pay any attention to you until you start getting involved.
>>339355993
Or you do it like Blame! where everytime you are reconstructed you just lose a bit more or yourself.
Killy has been reconstructed so many times and has lived so long he doesn't even remember why the fuck he's doing any of the things he does.
fucking nano machines man; you could even have them appear like the tombstone guys from BB.

>>339355991
Check out King's Field bruv.
And then de-check it out because the mechanics are garbage lmao.
>>339356096
Except that makes sense. In reality a huge lumbering greatsword make of burnt stone would be useless against a small estoc wielding opponent.
>>339356146
That's just Mech. No Souls
>>339356075
You gotta inject yourself with biocircuit cleansers or your stats degrade and become less efective. This shit designs itself.
>>339350053
I don't want another Souls game to be made, ever again.
From feels it's a good time to end the series. The original creator feels the story's done, and the gameplay concepts have been explored.
I want to see what From will do. I've loved From since I played AC1 on a demo disc, been following them the whole time. They're a good company that makes good games. So when they announced they're not doing another Souls game, I was happy.
Now Souls won't be ruined by yearly or biennial releases, constantly being iterated until we get bored of it. Do you want Souls to be like Call of Duty? Of course you don't.
We've got a lot of great games out of the series. In seven years, we have five games. That's more than one, every year. Plus the expansions that came out. There are hundreds of hours of content for you to revisit, between all the games.
>>339350053
Is there a name for the high tech aesthetic with the extraneous grooves and ridges with neon lines that make up messy overdesigned monstrosities of angularity?
Besides "visual white noise" of course.
>>339356126
Only about half of Bloodborne is set in Yharnam.
>>339356109
>human build turns out to be the secret most powerful

>>339355887
The katana is the most vanilla shit ever though.
>>339356096
The Estoc was literally designed to split the links of mail and stab at gaps in armor. It IS a more terrifying weapon than a greatsword in armored combat.

What possibly negative effect could more games have? If they turn out shitty then they can't ruin the four great games that already exist.
>>339352239
I'm talking about the stuff in System Shock 2, and I'm pointing out the similarities to Souls games.
