Hidetaka Miyazaki Doesn't Want To Avoid Risks; Explains How He Makes His Visions Come To Reality

Miyazaki doesn't want to avoid risks with his future projects. He also said that feedback from players helps him bring his visions to reality.

I have high hopes for Miyazaki

[Alexious]

Me too, but now I expect a radically different game. From Demon's Souls to Dark Souls 3 it was basically the same game over and over again.

Don't expect him to abandon the framework entirely. King's Field, and its spinoffs like Eternal Ring, were the predecessors to Demon's Souls, and were still 1)quasi-medieval, 2)centered around making specific decisions with slower animations for each swing/spell/etc., and 3)super tough and open to the player to explore.

Miyazaki's biggest strength is how he brings art direction, sound design, and effects together to create an overall atmosphere. I think he really took up the atmosphere mantle from where Castlevania and Metroid left off. My guess is that you'll see a lot of Souls in the mechanics of a new title, but a completely different and equally frightening setting.

I would like to see what he can do with a different genre and same type of game, like a shooter perhaps.

Like how Fallout is the shooter cousin of Elder Scrolls, both utilizing the same type of game design and amazing in their own regard.

Feedback is always something that helps developers and publishers work towards the right direction.

[Chris_Wray]

I can understand where he's coming from. He got his start by taking control of an already failed action-rpg project, he turned it round and made Demons' Souls. This led to DS. It only makes sense that he'll remember the origin and be willing to take risks.

[MoveTheGlow]

These new Miyazaki interviews have been so encouraging. He's clearly in this for the right reasons and will do everything in his power to make a great game out of his visions. It's refreshing in a sea of titles that suffer from annualized sequelitis due to really bad management decisions.

[Alexious]

Indeed. I'm personally rooting for a new Otogi game!

[MoveTheGlow]

Oh man, that would be crazy. I think he wants to go with new stuff, though...

[Garethvk]

Risk is good for gamers but makes studios nervous.

Let's just hope Sony doesn't buy the exclusivity to whatever game it is....

[pyroxxx]

Sony does not have to buy shit,.. They get games from their long term friends. And exclusives show what systems are capable off hardware wise when they try to code to the metal,.. That is why Bloodborne looks better then DKS3 at 4 K or whatever,.. Geometry and detail in that game are denser by 10:1,.. That is just a fact,.. Just think of density of Nightmare Frontier VS anything in DKS3 ,.. Yep it is 10-1 more detailed (models of characters/monsters also). (I still cannot believe that crap runs on PS4 just geometry wise it is just so dense) ,.. Hell I would say some of the damn Chalice dungeons have more geometry than some entire designed levels in DKS3 (so it is not just Middle age VS Gothic architecture type difference,..just looks better. Not dissing DKS3 either,.. still playing it almost daily.

[Movefasta1993]

this is true,bloodborne is stacked with detail.Being exclusive has it's benefits.

[SilverDemon]

They didn't buy Bloodborne
They Co-develeped it with fromsoft
