What would you like to see in the next souls game?

Hmm well, personally I didnt play past the first one on the first map because it was too hard and boring and i know the other two are the same thing but I have a few good ideas to improve that.

I would like to see an easy mode. Dying in just 2 or 3 hits is too hard and it should be more realistic and be like 5-10 hits.
If not an easy mode then I want there to be an "auto play" mode where I can just set the controller down and let the game get past the part I'm stuck on or just to see the story unfold.
Speaking of, i think there should also be a really good and interesting plot with interesting characters. The combat could be lessened to have more room for plot and character development.
These are just a few ideas I had that would make the game more accessible and appealing to less "hardcore" gamers.

>Let's fantasize about things that won't happen

let it die already
or wait 10 years and then beg for a sequel like Prime fans

>>378423240
there are no more Souls games, until Bamco decides to milk the name and From allows someone else to develop a spiritual sequel.
And it would probably suck

Don't need another one.
But for the sake of the thread, I'd like to see a souls game with the map design of DS1 (and better) with the combat from DS3

>>378423240
For it to not be made. A shit series does not deserve sequels.

>>378423608

0/10 bait

Now answering to OP, if I were to make another Souls (supposing I cant make a new game) I would make a prequel, taking place in the war with dragons.

I would try to rely less on fanservice and try to explore and expand the lore.

More weapon variety, new places and make rolling cost more stamina so you cant roflspam it.

Make it a moba.

>>378423841

So a DS1 remaster.

I'd buy the shit out of that.

Bloodborne 2 and maybe another souls game in like 10 years when it will be garbage and noone will care.

>>378423996
An actually finished DS1 like they meant it to be done. Of course i doubt miyazaki has any interest in doing it and the lore probably changed between games so some stuff wouldn't make sense anymore

Needs more of an atmosphere of terror. I think lots of large enemies with bullshit attack patterns would help with that. Most of the difficulty in 3 and BB was in getting swarmed by mobs.

The world also needs to be more interconnected, I'm talking some sort of labyrinth where all areas connect to each other somehow.

>>378423240
You're gonna be waiting a while, and even then it's not going to be developed by From. Miyazaki has made it clear they're fucking sick of Dark Souls for the past year in every interview, the DLCs for 3 seem like they were just ticking off requirements on their contract so they never have to touch the series again.

>>378423240
Sheath, fashion customisation, unique animations and actions, more non linear interconnected scenery. More weapons and armours that are unique to a playthrough - no predefined loot and no more then third of total loot in one playthrough. More moves, stances. Less statism - especially no bullshit enemies that you are tired to see, enemies must have their ecosystem. Meaningful path branches that made parts of game accessible or not for a duration of playthrough. Fucking adequate and fair AI that don't hit through walls and each other, have different patterns and super rare moves (and rare encounters). Everything must not be the same for other players - but not completely random. It would be cool to make stories about what boss is the hardest turn to true via boss patterns and characteristics variations.

I don't want a remaster of DaS, I want a director's cut of all soulsborne games.

It'll make them more money than what they spend. Just tell Miyazaki to finish DaS, keep the graphics, engine, animation and everything, just add the big chunks that are missing, like the questline with the knight of Astora, Priscilla being the level up waifu, Andre pushing the statue in Firelink shrine, and finish the second half of the game.

Then let Tanimura make DaS2 from the beginning so every level is as good as the DLC, without a gigantic downgrade for polygons and lighting.

Then let Miyazaki finish BB and make two DLC like it was planned from the beginning.

And finally let Miyazaki and Tanimura make DaS3 the way it was meant to be (it may be the best souls game and the least unfinished, but it's still painfully obvious the game was supposed to have way more shortcuts and interconnectivity)

>>378423240
I desperately want more depth to covenants, which is unfortunately the opposite direction they're going with it it seems.

I liked how you had to commit at least a little bit to your covenant in the first one, as opposed to wearing it as a literal item. And I feel like there is some potential for some really great interplay mechanics, if they would just put some real effort into the system instead of making it only useful for getting the items associated with the covenant

A dude dashing all over the place is less cute than a cute girl with big weapons.

dark souls trilogy that has a carry over save file between the 3 games, all equipment is compatible between each game, and your NG+ progress is always kept and increased every time you beat one.

Dark Souls 2 you can choose between scholar and normal version, and 1 and 3 have scholar style remixes you can choose as well.

>>378423240
Dark Souls biggest strength have always been the level design imo, which was close to perfect for the first half of DS1

It's psychological. If I can pick my character, I chose female even if it's a first person game like Prey or Dishonored 2.

A cartoony Souls game, in a setting similar to Adventure time, with lol so random shit in a bizarre interconnected world, that goes the bloodborne route of having a slow decent into madness in the second half.
Bloodborne gameplay and chalice dungeons as well, but with a healing system that is mix of estus and blood vials (enemies drop them, but you always start with a pré determine amount in the bonfires).
60fps and multi-plat preferably.

Started with DaS, dropped it at the second bell.
Played DaS2, finished it.
Played Bloodborne, finished it 15 times.
Played DaS3, finished it 17 times and still play it.
Played DaS again, had to force myself to finish it once, and dropped it after undead burg the second time.
Recently started playing DeS, it's fucking god tier.

I fucking despise DaS, despite it being my first. Every once in a while I want to replay it, every time I'm blown away by undead burg, and every time I drop it harder than a hot potato as soon as undead burg is over.

Don't you understand? No one wishes to go on.

Rolling is a little bit too good in Dark Souls 3.
Even 2 discouraged using shields because rolling became so easy but at least your equip weight and stamina actually mattered something.
Most players weren't just abusing roll i-frames all day erry day in DaS1 because it wasn't the best or easiest solution to every incoming threat.

>>378432347
That X1 framerate kek

>>378433609
Actually the option for true Co-op wouldn't be half bad honestly.
>2-3 players are allowed
>specific "co-op character" file is created, you can only co-op with your specific co-op partner(s) and you can only play this character if you are playing with your co-op partner(s)
>souls, inventory, and level are independant, however the players have a shared item storage at the bonfire, and can freely trade items between each other
>embers only boost health, phantoms can be summoned or invade even if you don't have an ember
>when summoning and invading you both are summoned together, and count as one slot. If one dies both dies
>when summoned if one dies both die
>when invading both they are treated as two separate invaders that take up one slot
>key items are shared, along with certain quest relevant items (the gift from the white birch giant, dragon stones, estus shards and undead bone shard)

So basically you'd sort of be two characters combined into one. In cutscenes it randomly selects one of the players to be the main part of the cutscene, however the other players will be standing by, just not be the main focus.

Literally the opposite of this faggot >>378423841

I'd want it to not build off of FUCKING DS3 unless it has to do with the levels and maybe basic boss concepts. Its mechanics aren't built for how fast it is and you can tell from how they kludged in long distance low stam cost rolls and then added 5 billion roll catches to the point where I was pissed off at them less than a third of the way through, I got sick of getting suckerpunched without warning by aggroing enemies that I couldn't have known about beforehand, I hated almost every boss in the game to the point where I genuinely consider Oceiros to be far more annoying than Bed of Chaos ever thought about being, and the shit balance between playstyles did it no favors.

>>378423240
I want them to move on a new IP and stop making games that get shitter and shitter.

>>378438432
You mean better and better you subhuman fag

I don't want another Souls game.

I'd like them to take a whack at another first person dungeon crawler ala King's Field/Eternal Ring. Now that they have a bit of money, and can make games with somewhat fluid movement and controls, I think that would help their efforts at those kinds of games immensely.

>>378423240
we know that From is working on 3 games, one dark fantasy game, one armored core game and one that's "something weird"
also miyazaki has said that DaS3 was the end of the series, so no more souls games

He's a cool boss in concept but in practice he's a symbol of everything I hate about DS3. Shit, shit shit shit boss, I am not exaggerating when I say that I had more fun fighting Bed of Chaos and would gladly take DS2's bland bosses over this bullshit.

A built in difficulty modifier through the bonfire. You could kindle in the DS1 to give yourself more estus per area. Something like that. You make the bonfire brighter for an area by burning something and weakens the enemies, but makes them give less souls. Or dim the bonfire and makes the enemies stronger and more souls, etc.

Heck, bring back world tendency events as well. Certain NPCs or phantoms appear if the fire is brightest or darkest.

A mini randomizer to give playthroughs a little variety. This one room could have five hollow dregs on one playthrough, then three dregs and two archers the next, or two knights. Spice it up a little. Don't know if randomizing the items would break anything though. That will have to have a little more thought.

>>378440274
I've fought him as a caster, an archer/dex guy, and a str greathammer/axe user
It's been awhile but I only remember there being one move that I didn't think was fair, his instant charges just mean you basically have to always be out of his frontal arc. Then again I could've just taken long enough to beat him that I had him down really well.
>>378440481
World tendency would be cool if it was based on player activity and wouldn't lock you out of so many things
Pvp areas would become hellscapes due to all the bloodstains, and more co-op ish areas would look suited for adventurous jolly cooperation (the sun being a great addition/symbol if we're including covenant summons as a factor) I thought something like this was going to happen based on gundyr's arena shown in the prerelease bits of DS3 but it didn't obviously

From shouldl make another tenchu game. I remember thinknig Tenchu Z on xbox was pretty cool.
so have a souls game but ninja themed, but not Nioh. more like hey im jumping high, and now im sprinting and dashing, and running along a wall. and using ninjutsu,

Look, if you want me to buy a new game it better be about actually preventing shit from hitting the fan or when shits really hitting the fan and there's no fixing, just a desperate struggle. Like; cities on fire with people fleeing, gods fighting eachother leveling everything in their wake, armies clashing with massive loss of life.

Because getting to the party at the wee hours of the age of fire got old by the second game.
