Christopher Marcil has started an online petition demanding Dark Souls 2 for Nintendo Wii U. Recently at VGA 2012, Namco Bandai and From Software announced Dark Souls 2 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, but nothing was said whether the game will launch on Wii U or not.
Danish from eXputer: "FromSoftware and Larian Studios have shown that a good workplace environment is what it really takes to make good games."
Danish from eXputer: "FromSoftware's unique approach to difficulty in their games allows players to customize their own experience, which is really cool."
"Souls Like" is a literal genre.
I'd just like to point out that Rise of the Ronin which recently released is in large part a Souls Like as is the upcoming Stellar Blade. And both games have 60 FPS.
More? Like every other game in the last
5 years has “Souls” elements or difficulty. I think we need to pump the brakes a bit Jesus they don’t all the the “grind or die”/“get good” mentality.
I would advise reading the article. What you're saying is not the point we tried to make.
Danish from eXputer: "With FromSoftware getting new directors, it might be time for the studio to take a break from its iconic Soulslike games."
That's what I was going to say. Also they good at souls and they usually different in away then each other. The real thing to say is when the industry going to move from souls formula. I see almost every week theres a new souls games announced this week was bleak faith
Totally disagree. There are not enough souls likes, and good ones at that! Rarely are they announced… Bleak Faith for example is an old game. I literally bought and beat that game about a year ago. It’s rouguelites and metroidvanias that are announced weekly.
@MrWood
This a lot of souls games out as I said they are announced about every week. Matter fact I just heard about another moments of writing this.
Honestly I want more lol. Plenty of different settings, time periods, fantasies, and myths they can still use.
Agreed stick with what they do best just get creative with it. Who wouldn't want another game like Elden Ring but in a fresh setting.
Armored Core and Elden Ring are both different than the Souls formula.
Souls formula: You Will Die. Gothic. Not open world. Punishing difficulty. The feeling that doing is completely on the player.
From software can make as many souls games they want. It's the rest of the industry that needs to stop copying them.
There are have been great souls-like games from other developers. I say if another developer can put their own spin on the genre then I don't see the problem. I don't get the whole defensive gatekeeping. Nioh, Lies of P and Remanent are great games in that genre.
I think a Souls game could work quite well on Wii U, once the developers don't make a half-assed port of it. I could see incredible potential for Miiverse and this game as well. A petition worked for a PC release of Dark Souls so maybe if the support is large enough we could see a Wii U version.
Just was thinking about this last night. I think it would be really cool, but what could they put on the screen? I guess inventory could work, but it's nothing too special.
If you want this game buy a PS3 and play it. No big problem version will be made. There just won't be enough demand for it.
"sign the petition damn it"
postal dude
Why even bother having individual consoles if the only games people really give a shit about are multiplatform...
