Why wouldn't FS want to make extra money with a bullshit PS3-looking exclusive title from their intern squad while the A team works on real platform deliverables?

I think this one is A team. It has Miyazaki himself working on it directly which generally means A team. We'll see

This game sounds very Dead by Daylight meets Tarkov. Tarvok style maps with PvE objectives but Dead by Daylight points and talent system.

Not my type of game.

FTFY

It’s Nintendo exclusive because Nintendo has failed to take major risks with new IP's new in the last 20+ years and has to call in someone who hasn't succumb to creative bankruptcy. Maybe all the FoH incels can pool their allowance money and get From to make it exclusive to the dildos lodged so firmly in their ass.

Console exclusives worked back in 2008 and only for a handful of games that were actually worth the disks they were printed on. Enjoy the open world $80 V-slide dildo simulator with their pathetic online subscription. Please let us know how much Nintendo gaped your ass once your done, so we at FoH can pool our allowance towards your anal rigidity mesh! Love you dawg!

Kirun Kirun said it rather well.

Half the reason Elden Ring was as popular and "mainstream" as it was is because of the simultaneous release.

This is a retards decision because it won't help GENERATE new fans/players, it'll only alienate them. I hope Nintendo paid them a fucking fortune, because they stand to "tarnish" some of the goodwill they've built up.

They're also not at the mercy of crybaby faggots who think FS owes them anything.

Except... they are at their mercy. Being in the entertainment industry in all, gaming being the most "cutthroat / do or die" sects. They exist solely because of the audience they have cultivated and survive by pleasing them through the subsequent products they create. I hope being a crybaby faggot about your fellow gaming enthusiasts sustains you through this development cycle :).

You managed to up the retard ante, nice work.

They "survive" because they make amazing games that get better with every iteration. It has nothing to do with listening to autistic faggots like you, who demand they do everything they want them to all the time or else they'll boycott.

It's also hilarious how you think there's enough people throwing throwing tantrums that From is going to "die" over this. Elden Ring sold around 30 million copies, they're not going to notice the 10 people who might actually follow through with a boycott

Lulz XB/PS master race are like “switch gets no real games! Haha their exclusives are only propped up by Nintendo kiddy Zelda haha.”

Nintendo gets “good” game exclusive by 3rd party

“Lulls its not 8k and 400 fps sux mode hahaha”

So thats the only thing that has made all your good games good?

To start I would like to formally apologize to Ambiturner Ambiturner and Ritley Ritley . The way I went about my discourse was rather unnecessary, needlessly snarky, anatomically gross and added very little to the conversation. In my infinite foolishness I broke my long standing rule regarding drinking and shit posting in the wee hours of the morning. It is no excuse but only an explanation and I am by no means proud of it. Yes I am a bit of an Elden austist, guilty as charged. I'll admit it. And obviously FromSoft isn't perfect in their execution. I thought SOTE needed more content in some areas but I understand with a pipeline of 7 games at once compromises must be made. Like you said they keep upping the quality each time.

I suppose my larger issue lies with Nintendo, not FromSoft. I never wanted a boycott, just the prospect of a port to other consoles even years down the line. I have little issue with timed exclusives. Dark Souls 1 had huge success partly because it was on most 7th gen consoles, allowing major sales. I just have a hard time seeing this IP having longevity if it is locked behind a permanent console exclusive. There are exceptions every company has their "flagship game". Somewhere deep in my psyche I may have some unresolved tension with Nintendo and their strict management of IPs, only to then sell us an emulator that was mid tier at launch, yes it's a grudge years old but I have watched them grow into something I no longer recognize, long gone are the days of Game Cube golden era.

I hope we can have a better conversation about other games when my brain isn't pickled by booze and Nintendo fueled resentment.

Must be hard waking up every day this stupid.

Nintendo gets "mainstream" games 4-5 years later, typically at worse performance than the counterparts. By the time they release they aren't technically competitive anymore, so everyone that has already moved on laughs and says, "oh wow buddy that's some great 1080p you got there". Or they fire up their Switch emulator and play the game at 4x whatever Nintendo can put out.

We are talking about a brand-new release in 2025 being graphically rivaled by its spiritual predecessor that's over 10 years old. The graphics aren't what make the games but you're going to get laughed at if you act like the graphics or performance are impressive in literally any way.

Brand new system that rivals the cost of a Playstation 5 btw.

Well, so far my thread on this game is pretty much in the toilet. A bunch of complaining about the system it's on and a bunch of arguing about...IDK what.

Yeah, looking forward to playing this on the Switch 2 for a week or two, not expecting anything earth-shattering. Pretty much like Nightreign.

Also Nintendo sucks in the modern era, with their underpowered consoles and Waggle Motion and Dongle Integration. This new system actually has some horsepower, so they're gonna gouge us on the price. It is what it is, getting it either way, would appreciate not being gouged more than is necessary.

I'd argue that Nintendo is the only console worth buying in the modern era, the system with the most 1st party exclusives and even some 3rd party ones now. At least they have a gimmick of having the portable switch. Playstation and Xbox are literally underpowered pcs that offer nothing in the same regard.

It could have been a one off a la Déraciné that highlights some feature / tech demo of the Switch 2. Having it so closely “in the spirit of” other mainline From games just feels wrong. Maybe it is incredible, who knows. Looks like turd to me so far. Will buy used off eBay with the Switch 2 Pro OLED.

I can wait for a port to play this game on a console or PC where it will perform well. I am sick to death of the regression in game design and product quality / playability output.
