There's a new class that channels different elemental combinations to create one powerful spell, depending on the order of elements received. Literally hundreds of combinations can be done for different spell effects. If that's not new to the series, I don't know what is.
Plus I find it funny how the game isn't even released yet people are upset about not seeing new things. It was the same thing with Elden Ring. "It's just open world Dark Souls 3 and a jump button and horse! Nothing new!", but we got shield counters, jump attacks, horse combat, frenzy flame spells, sleep effects, a whole array of new areas to explore and new bosses to beat, weapons that can have different ashes of war on them to change up the gameplay, and an entire DLC area that gave us a ton more to work with, especially with the crafting system. (Seriously, if you have not used giant pots, they are fun to use)
So, if you think that the network test is all there is to offer, you are sorely mistaken. Unless you work for Fromsoft and can tell us every little detail of what will be in the game. Otherwise you're spouting nonsense because you're upset that you cannot afford a game that, in your own eyes, is not worth $40. The people who bought the game, believes it's worth $40, and there's nothing you can do to convince them otherwise.
-Countering was already in the previous games. Who cares if it's on shields.
-Jump attacks were already in the previous games. They're also highly impractical in many scenarios.
-Horse combat isn't that deep and super unfun. Every hit you fall of your horse. That's pure tedium. Easily the worst part of Elden Ring. There's a reason the "No Open World" mod is popular.
-Ashes of war isn't that legendary. You can finally switch out the special on your weapon. Ok. There's about 2 or 3 that are good. So you wind up using the same thing on everything anyway.
No, the skeptics are probably quite on point. The game won't have much beyond what was shown. Maybe some additional 10-20% content. This isn't some rudimentary demo of the early Gaming days, where you get to see the tutorial level. The network test showed you the play area of the fortnite map. Subsequent playthroughs will be a repeat with slightly modifier rules or enemy spawns.
elden ring doesn't even accept fan boys, it spits them out.
Past Experience?
You have 40 years of gaming history showing that companies when they see new way to earn more money they will always go that way.
I just dont know how you fail to realize that.
Claiming that supporting Nightreign means the downfall of FromSoft's business model is a massive leap in logic. Nothing about this game suggests they're suddenly going to strip multiplayer from future titles and sell it separately. It’s a baseless slippery slope argument with no real connection to reality.
And if "40 years of gaming history" is your metric, then you should also acknowledge that not every company goes down that road. If FromSoft's goal was to milk players for every penny, they would have done it with Elden Ring, an already massive success with over 20 million copies sold. But they didn’t, because that’s simply not how they do things.
When companies see they can cut MP from game and sell you later that part for 30-40e as DLC and get away with it, they will do that.
These kind of things always start from something that seams so irrelevant but in the end turn in to something big (Oblivion and Horse Armor)
Also, if Sony get FS who say they wont try to force them to do that.
People should know, when money is involved nothing is impossible.
You're acting like this is content being cut from a main game when it was never part of one to begin with. Nightreign is its own separate experience, built around a unique structure that wouldn't just slot into a traditional Souls game the way something like CoD’s multiplayer is essential to its core design.
FromSoft has never bundled a full-fledged multiplayer-focused roguelike mode into their mainline games, so this isn't them removing anything, it’s them creating something new. Comparing it to situations where studios strip out core features just to resell them later doesn’t hold up.
And speculating about what could happen if Sony acquires them is just that, speculation. And fear-mongering over a possibility doesn’t make for a solid argument.
So yeah. I still dont see it.
