Today's issue of Weekly Famitsu included the traditional survey among Japanese game developers to see what is the title they appreciated the most in 2019.
A sequel to the studio's acclaimed title, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, would be the perfect swan song for long-time video game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.
I just don't see it happening given the success of Elden Ring. I think we'll be seeing a sequel to Elden Ring before anything else.
I'm not into souls games but it's good to see that this dev studio stick to what makes their titles unique, there's alot of souls copy n pasted games but they rarely get talked about cause they're looked at as copies and not original created ideas, the souls games are unique cause they offer they're own identity instead imitating I respect that
Or Bloodborne 2 preferably both but that’s a lot to ask if he plans on retiring sooner than later
With this feature, we will be taking a look at Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice all these years later and break down why it remains such a great time.
Absolutely. Amazing art design, and didn’t have the Bloodborne problem so it runs at 60FPS on newer hardware, which is amazing given the reaction based gameplay
This one title that never clicked with me. I enjoyed Dark Souls, Demon Souls and Bloodborne, but I never warmed up to Sekiro’s parry-focused combat. I honestly gave up on the game at about the half way point.
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Wow well deserved I hope kojima production next title is a horror game like PT
Death Stranding won the most GOTY awards in 2019 as I expected.
Get out of here, the Japanese and especially Famitsu voted a game by a well known, highly respected Japanese developer...I did NOT see that coming at all. I'm shocked.
I can't say the game is amazing or terrible, I'm pretty in the middle with it seeing both sides and points...I don't want to over praise it like some but I don't want to trash it, however there's plenty of great games these year that you could argue were the same quality if not better, with added fun factor.
Maybe it's possible, just maybe, that Kojima produced something which was just good, not amazing, Metal Gear Solid level.
For those keeping score, Japanese media outlets only had 4 representatives vote on the Game Awards despite most of the actual games being voted on were made by Japanese developers. US had 24 and UK had 9. I got to imagine if Japan was properly represented, DS would have definitely won this year. Hope that changes in the future. I just don't see how you can vote on all these Japanese games without getting opinions from actual Japanese people.
