Hopefully more developers can take note and see that there is goo d profit to be had in building your own niche outwards.

And there trying to tell us that it'll be the last dark soul game. Laughing

Almost certainly the last done by Miyazaki and maybe even the last done by From software (where my next armored core! And not a multi player focus game!) but I highly doubt its the last ever.

Dark Souls is owned by From Software not Bamco so if there is ever anymore Souls games(spoilers there will be) From will make it. they are a relatively large company with multiple develop teams, They can make a ()Souls game and an Armored Core game at the same time, though I think Miyazaki will probably direct Armored Core next because he's been wanting to work on another one.

It will probably be multiplayer focused, one of From's current focus is huge multiplayer components.

Very impressive. Like it went from niche to mainstream. Namco could use improvements here and there(that green bottle...), but they did an overall good job.

Bandai Namco had nothing to do with the game's development, they don't even publish Dark Souls games in Japan, From does it themselves.
Their only involvement is western localization, publishing and marketing.

I'm seeing way to many people crediting them with this series lately.

This is what happens when you actually promote your titles, Bandai.
That's a hint; maybe you should do this with more of your titles?

Please do Gundam Souls Bandai, lol

Serious, think they just build the future MMORPG. I mean, this game has Lovely PVP combat system and it could better if magic worked like weapons. 1 spell could do so much more; the wants I could wish for would be great. I might look into 'For Honor' if they can get it closed to dark souls PVP.

I can't Wait for the next FromSoft game.

I was kind of surprised how some Westerners were salty they had to wait. Thank goodness they don't live in PAL regions. Would croak having to wait for so many games. Laughing
