YEEESSS! 2013 it is then.

sdozzo4207d ago

The preorder page says 2013 which means nothing. But, you hope they didn't show a trailer for something over a year away. That would suck.

@sdozzo

Last of us was announced at last years VGAs and it not coming out till next year... But next year fits the two year release for the souls games so its possible late next year.

@sdozzo

You're comparing 2 different developers....2 different publishers... Last of Us via Naughty Dog and their perfectionism and engine differs from From Software and then Bandai or Atlus completely.

Here's better examples...

First Demon's Souls trailer was around late 2008 to 01/01/2009 max, the game was released February 2009...(Japan only as this was before it was known if it'd be popular or not in North America, we don't have this issue now that publishers are all over it) - Difference of around 2-4 months after unveilment.

Dark Souls first trailer was shown around 02/02/2011 and Dark Souls was released in September of the same year in Japan, October for the rest of the world. - Difference of 7-8 months after unveilment.

So, don't compare Last of us to the Souls' games in terms of time cycle and launch.

I'm willing to bet it's a holiday 2013 release. Probably sometime in October 2013.

Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Dark Souls 2 “carried” the series forward

Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.

The game isn't good though.

Rols111d ago

DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.

CrimsonWing69111d ago

The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.

I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville111d ago

I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!

qalpha198d ago

I used the Jungle Beat Bongos from my Gamecube

The_Hooligan198d ago

I just made my character look like Chuck Norris.

All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
