Today Koei Tecmo released the first direct feed screenshots and a trailer of the upcoming Berserk (named Berserk Musou in Japan even if both are working title), that will release locally on September 23rd for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita and worldwide at a later date, losing the PS3 version and gaining one on Steam.
The next game developed by FromSoftware needs to be a 'Berserk' adaptation.

I don't think everything needs to be made into a game/movie or vice versa. Berserk as a manga/anime was good(at least the beginning and mid parts) but i don't see it flowing well in a video game setting. Maybe a spin off but that would be odd. It's a very dark series as well and i don't feel anyone these days could do justice to that story but i do believe fromsoft's gameplay (like sekiro) could fit.
Yeah i know. That's irrelevant. You mean they should make a game like as a tribute to him? I mean i guess but Berserk is such a hard title to turn into a videogame format that's just how i feel. Maybe FromSoft could do it but like i said i feel they are doing good with their own projects and should stick with that.
Seeing as previous Berserk games have been terrible to mediocre, putting the game in the souls-like genre would be interesting. But I highly doubt we’ll ever see a great Berserk game.
Berserk inspired much of the Dark Souls' art direction and atmosphere. But making a souls-like game adaptation of Berserk wouldn't work. Even a Sekiro-like game wouldn't work. Funny enough, a Musou game is actually more closer to the source material than a souls-like game.
The problem with that is they need to make it where you’re extremely lethal against enemies and don’t die in a single hit. The PS2 game I feel did a good job with the source material. I haven’t played the PS4 game but I’m not a fan of Musou games.
We've known for a while that Forza Horizon 4 developers Playground Games are working on another project alongside the super-popular racing title.
That would be great game actually to attract different audiences and finally reach the red sea, possibly?
they make quality games, glad to see them work on something else as well. the artwork looks like a pretty high target.
Any anime except Berserk. For how good it is, I can’t deal with how sad it is and the bad things that happen to their characters. I know that would turn a huge audience off of it right off the bat.
That'll happen when an author is dying and you're seeing the raw expression of their misery, I guess.

Man, I remember playing Sword of the Berserk on the DC. Would be cool to have a new game.
They actually made a new game not too long ago,

Supposedly Berserk creator Kenatro Miura visited Miyazaki of From Software. This could mean great news for Berserk and Demons/Dark soul fans alike.-Sidearc
agree with you both .....while i love the Manga ...i say Guts s story is already known and many times played in media and games, would nt be the best case scenario a new more serious -Souls-y Berserk game, but Miura is an unbelievable artist and creator could easily create a fresh medieval -Soulsy world for a new From Soft game that could even be the start of an excellent IP
i would lean more to the sousl team because although dragon's dogma nailed the gameplay and boss fights of dogma,fromsoft are imo untouched when it comes to atmosphere.I think they'd nail the darkness of berserk more so than any other dev team.
And could you imagine bloodborne's gameplay but with guts,the swift movements,weilding that giant ass sword and hand cannon on the other arm,bloodborne's gameplay+guts would insane.But it's just a rumor..

Give it a try if you ever get the chance. Its got some pretty fun combat and boss battles.
For a Berserk game, yes. But I kinda don't want FromSoft to work on liscenced franchises. To me, their original content is just waaaaay more interesting.
As a general rule, I just think every talented creator should always work on original material instead of doing adaptations. It's always more interesting that way. Adaptations are usually more of a safe bet, but originals have more potential for greatness

Omg... out of all animes he has the most fudged up background. These guys did a fantastic job with fist of the north star. Cannot wait for this
