The article also has a really funny quote, the following
>Miyazaki also said he needs to get better at communicating the story of his games to the team, who often don’t understand the overall plot of the games they’re working on.
I wonder how much this influences what we perceive as his style
Miyazaki wants to work on a narrative-focused game
Dodge/poke enemies all day, now with story!
He is free to try of course but I think he has hit a pretty sweet spot when it comes to games still being games and not boring cinematic slogs like most AAA titles while still having some element of story telling and world building if you're actually interested in it. Exploring the world is usually rewarded in Souls games when it comes to the story
I agree. In one hand I think a story-driven game by Miyazaki would still be good since it'd have nice gameplay like the rest of his games, but on the other I see nothing wrong with the current formula and the ability to find out more about the world by simply exploring is great and I don't want that to be lost, just to be told the plot in long cutscenes.
Apparently this is from a keynote where he spoke along with Fumito Ueda. Anyone know where? I can't fucking find any footage, but this sounds great.
That comment about communicating the story made me laugh. The appeal of Dark Souls isn't the story, it's the setting and gameplay. The "story" is basically optional, only appearing as vague messages that the world is a post-apocalyptic medieval fantasy world.
I don't care if FromSoftware want to try new things (in fact, I support them on doing so, because I don't like most FromSoftware fans who are vocal about giving their ideas), but I think the idea of a "real" story might be a mistake if not handled properly. If FromSoftware did make a RockStar style game or FPS, like they've talked about before, I still think it would be interesting to see.
There's a reason those Vaati videos have 600k-1million views each. People like the stories of these games.
>rumors from is working george rr martin
>now this shit
fuck me in the butthole and call me manus, they are fucking working on a open world game.
F
Nah, they don't. They like the setting. The story is just some made up shit done in 20 minutes to create a greater sense of context/atmosphere.
Nothing wrong with that. If he wants to do so, let him. That's the fun part about games.
A game can be narrative focused without being a movie game.
Yeah, alright. I'll let you get back to your YouTube theory videos now.
FUCK YOU, SEKIRO'S STORY IS SHIT
GIVE US A NEW ARMORED CORE ALREADY YOU FUCKING FAGGOT
Yeah to enjoy the story
Hey, whatever works, right?
How is the story in Armored Core?
>We want to make linear, story-focused games instead of real games
So begins the decline of FROM Software
miyazaki confirmed to be kojima?
He didn't say linear, and Sekiro is more nonlinear than Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. I don't think there's a pattern of his games getting more linear.
I thought Sekiro had a "real" story. It didn't bother me much when I played through it but the post-Genichiro lore dumping is really annoying when looking at other people play through it.
There's like 20 long dialogues to go through nonstop and it's annoying.
The guy who made spirited away?
La Puta
Depressing or somewhat hopeless typically
Join the team!
The new God of War actually had alright gameplay despite being so heavily narrative focused. It IS possible to make a game like that.
i don't really like how they introduced the story in sekiro
it felt kind of lazy with the whole intro cutscene but i guess that way we got into the game quicker
i found myself caring about the young lord alot by the end so the final battle(s) actually had meaning to me
i enjoyed demon's souls story a decent amount, it didn't dwell as much on the cosmic horror aspects as much as bloodborne, but because of that didn't have me feel the same way about it
in bloodborne the fear is ever present, but i never really think about the old one until the end of the game
dark souls was cool as an introduction but kind of recycled the metaphor from demons of all things coming to an end, just conveyed in a different way.
dunno how i feel about the execution of the final fight with gwyn when compared to allant
it's weird
Miyazaki already fucked me in the ass so bad with his games that I'd buy any game he did
But I still want 3deep5me stuff from him
Too be fair GoW still gets shat on cause it's the same mash X too win shit, but sony has managed too lower the bar across the board for games, so that is why it seems not as bad now.
There barely is one, other mecha pilots have a few lines of dialogue, there are short descriptions of mecha parts and the megacorps who make them, and a short cutscene at the end of each "story" route.
You never get to see other pilots, fans just come up with their own ideas of what they look like.
then i i won't buy it
Reminder that "narrative" focused games doesn't inherently mean Naughty Dog shit and there are plenty of ways to tell a strong narrative with active player engagement. If they went the Yakuza route of having a gamey game with grandiose cutscenes I'd take that too though.
He's proven his hardcorez chops so he can do what he wants.
>Fumito Ueda
>spend 10 years making Last Guardian
>doesn't even bother tying it into Ico and SotC in any way
Not even a big story or lore fag but even I was disappointed.
Merrygate is cute! I do wish the characters were more fleshed out in AC like they are in Ace Combat. The setting of mercenaries trying to make it in aware torn world lends itself well to simple plots but deep characterizations like old westerns.
Make Armored Core Six already you fucking hack
I thought they already made one and literally nobody gave a fuck about it
>Every new game he works on your is worse than his last
Is he, dare I say, our /hack/?
Somewhat unrelated but what's the optimal amount of vitality and endurance in bloodborne? I kind of want to try out all the weapons since it's been so long since I last played, and I haven't given some much attention like the gun raiper or wheel, so I want to boost my skill and strength up pretty high and also my bloodtinge/arcane a bit.
worst nu-Yea Forums meme in a good long while
>Pretending to be from resetera
Vitality: 45-50
Endurance: base-15
>458214658
Shut up nigger
This.
Deracine was really good but it needed a bigger budget, more genuine puzzles, and fewer loading screens. I hope they make more story-driven adventure games.
At least boomer/zoomer could be somewhat entertaining at times, this shits just baiting /pol/fags to start going on about trannies or some shit by pretending to be some cuck from twitter.
I can't even begin to imagine what setting they'll go with at this point with something like this
Can’t wait for weeaboos to start praising story-focused games because they’re made by Japanese devs
Oh my fucking god we have another Kojima. What if you faggots get a better engine and start optimizing your games?
This. Time to stop making PS3 games and step up.
