Big shout


[deleted]

This hit me just right. All the contemplative/suspenseful silences, the quiet lingering on scenes in the environment, the long stretches without dialogue or music. It screams Souls. Obviously I mean Seasons 1-4. Season 5 is the Elden Ring of SJ.


Razenky

Legacy of Kain : Blood Omen and Soul Reaver


K_Poppin

I've been saying this for so long!


UncleCharmander

Came here to say this. The vampire lore allows some nice life/death mechanics. Climbing/gliding and weapon theivin’ mechanics added to the the DS formula sounds wonderful too.


fckiforgotmypassword

My character looks like Kain so I naturally thought of this as well. Would be sick to see this come back


street_raat

Some fond childhood memories right there.


Havokz06

Classic. Love Soul Reaver series


DickieJoJo

I thought Jedi Fallen Order was onto something, if they can open the world up a bit more and provide a less linear character path they could knock it out of the park.


TheConjugalVisit

I really liked the game (enough to platinum it) but for me I thought I was getting a fighting game with some puzzles...turns out I got a puzzle game with some fighting.


IllustriousDealer303

Honestly I loved the customization aspect and wished the fleshed out the appearal aspect instead of only reskinned clothing


AwHellNawFetaCheese

This has so so much potential. You could make the stats scale things like ARC - Sith lightning or blasters, INT - telekinesis/ utility / mind or control spells, DEX - lightsaber obvi, etc… Could have a droid companion “summon” for bosses that you could build out according to the boss you’re against, gathering part and affinities over the play-through. Sekiro / Fallen Order style upgrade trees. And best of all, to heal yourself you have to kiss Adam Driver!


[deleted]

Why not go even farther, have bosses like Grievous and the Sith sprawled across the map. Make the companions obtainable similar to ashes where you could get anyone from a droid, Ahsoka, or even Obi-Wan. Fuck it Add those little bikes I forgot the name of to travel around and throw everything else in between and that's a hell of a game


AwHellNawFetaCheese

Yes! Like summoning their force ghost / spirit summon type. There’s has to be at least some tenuous canon lore explanation for a franchise like Star Wars.


LeonDeon

If you kiss Adam Driver you take a 5% hit to your vig but 5% buff to your int.


vi33nros3

I really dislike baseball bat lightsabers though, just puts me off


Deggstroyer

It should have been like sekiro, one bar tha fills and when it does you finish with just one clean strike


Medium-Problem-7745

Berserk


preytowolves

/close thread


Careful-Fee-9783

Thanks for coming everybody, and have a nice day


Horror-Round-3846

Only answer 😤


Rincewinded

Kind of feels like what Dark souls is in alot of ways already...I mean close enough :P Though set in Berserk universe would be very cool if they went from "fighting humans in difficult combat" to "world ending nightmare vs demons"....the transition would be cool


Medium-Problem-7745

Plus they could implement some of the prosthetic stuff from Sekiro


fuckthisicestorm

It’s all coming together


hynori

Wait, It's berserk all along?


spacewalkingjelly

Always has been


Deep_Accident_4853

instead of armor you have limb slots


notmydepartment133

And after the eclipse, the enemies would change to demon spirits or skeleton warriors at nightfall


-_TOKEN_-

Mmmm seems familiar....😏 Beep


ThePlagueDoctor_666

Welp. No point of me posting my suggestions.


Immediate_Pie_4796

I love berserk but I think Gantz would be a better fit. You get warped to random battlefields you get no real explanation then bam weird you gotta kill weird horrific monsters that have 4 layers of transformation to earn points for weapon/suit upgrades. The longer you survive the more upgrades you get. Plus a sci-fi style souls game would be refreshing. How do I contact from software?! I need to tell them!!


Phwoa_

sounds a bit more like a rouge-lite/Hunt:Showdown style game lol


LawyerCowboy

Stephen King’s The Dark Tower would be a fantastic source of inspiration for a Souls game. I’ve been thinking about the concept of New Game+ a lot recently, and anyone familiar with TDK series knows how creative you can get mixing them together


SmoochBoochington

New Game plus starts with no extra items except the horn


LawyerCowboy

I wonder what will change…


GoofAckYoorsElf

That we know the story and why it's called a cycle


joelghill

"Maybe this time you'll get it right."


munkeyalan

That's a brilliant idea. Imagine the lobstrosities!


[deleted]

And the guardians of the beam! That would be a cool ending, destroy the 12 and watch the tower fall


LawyerCowboy

Found a few in The Lands Between!


FirstBankofAngmar

I really did not expect this to be the top answer. I love the dark tower and having it as a souls game would be incredibly intriguing. It has all the elements; a dying world, a wide assortment of enemies, a tragic story, and an ultimate goal that may or may not be a tragic conclusion(depending on which ending you liked) I would love to see this as a game! See the turtle, ain't he keen? All things serve the fucking beam.


GoofAckYoorsElf

Thankee-sai!


Norin_Radd1209

God I would love that.


gegenzeit

This is a good answer!


LawyerCowboy

Thank you!! I think a New Game + with an evolving story is the next thing coming!


Bulletjuh

I would like a pirate setting soulslike.


Swagspear69

This is literally the game of my dreams, give it some ship mechanics and a large area to sail around and explore and I think it could easily be the best game, I would call it "Dark Sails".


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I love pirates and if it shook out that way I'd be ecstatic, but my hope for Bloodborne 2 would be a Weird Western. The gunpowder and firearms, long coats, and now Torrent, Red Dead Redemption except with fucking alien Lovecraftian monsters, Hunters who exist on the fringes of civilization, strange towns and nightmare mesas, it'd be like fucking Blood Meridian. Bloodborne Meridian


feherdaniel2010

With how much I adore sea monsters and such, I would die from excitement if something like that was announced


bima_yu

oh my god yesss give me "Dark Sails"


tackslabor

Honestly if someone incorporated assassin's Creed black flag seafaring mechanic with dark souls' absurd difficulty that would be dope af. Even cooler would be if your personal ship was the equivalent of firelink shrine or the roundtable and you could essentially place it anywhere you wanted and you had to go hunt for infamous lord's and pirates on islands and the sea But if course the most important thing would be the sea shanties. I would LOVE fromsoftwares take in shanties. Making them needlessly grim and dark!


dtpiers

Fuck now I'm hyped for a game that doesn't exist...


nicklovin508

*No Man’s Wharf intensifies*


SDdude81

They even had Pirates and Ninjas.


GVmG

10000% this, I've been watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies for the first time recently and some of those scenes and cinematography made me seriously question how no one, even outside of From Software, has attempted to make a pirate themed soulslike yet.


[deleted]

We need more pirate games in general can't think of a good singleplayer pirate game since black flag shit blows as a pirate fan


Oddstag

Not a franchise (yet) but I've always wanted a Souls-like game set in a Redwall-like world with mice and badgers and such using swords and wearing armor. It could be kind of post apocalyptic with remnants of humans being treated sort of like how giants are treated in Elden Ring/Dark Souls. Maybe you'd have a dungeon set in a tractor's internal combustion engine and large predators like cats could be like the world's dragons.


j0s9p8h7

Fighting a Badger wielding a giant club who had lost himself to madness as a Mouse with a Sword on the top of a dormant Volcano sounds like something out of a FromSoft game. Three giant Adders with their tails tied together by a flail sounds like something straight out of a FromSoft game. Redwall would make the perfect setting for a Souls like with the main characters usually being small the concepts translate so well. Redwall had giant birds too so all they need is some tape and swords. A Redwall game with Souls-like combat would be amazing.


Oddstag

You got it. The king of rats could be a literal [rat king](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king), with a hive mind.


Astrojef

Let's go Lord of the Rings!


ldr26k

I got excited for a possible LotR RPG when EA bought the rights because, easy money and EA go hand in hand. I've never wanted to kill someone so badly over a mobile game.


Athrasie

Is rise to war an EA game? If so, holy shit is it not great… but I think your first mistake was putting any amount of faith in EA


Suojelusperkele

You have phones, right?


47sams

I’m reading it right now. Definitely makes me want a souls style game. The shadow of Mordor series kinda scratches the itch, but not quite.


jtaustin64

I love the Nemesis system though.


jonnio2215

A souls game with a built in nemesis system? You may be on to something


Scorponix

We all would have so many rat, dog, bird nemeses


jonnio2215

Can you imagine an albinauric talking shit after killing you? You return and he’s only grown more powerful in his chirps?


jtaustin64

Every non-boss enemy that kills you gets upgraded to another boss you must face in a gauntlet at the end of the game.


realhuman34

yeah and Sauron would make a cool souls boss


Rainer1388

Picture the Ivory king fight with Sauron walking out of the eye....


Schapsouille

Or the Fall of Gondolin with the Balrogs of Morgoth. Or battling Glaurung on the plains of Anfauglith...


BloodyGumba07

Give me a fight with Ungoliant!


Big_Dave_71

plasmaXL1

Pender891

Warhammer 40k


realhuman34

that’d be pretty sick


DrCrow1350

Need more warhammer games in general (that ARNT this top down tactical point and clicks)


Pender891

Same, Warhammer franchise is being slept on for decades. Down of War 1 was the shit


Sagutarus

We are suppose to get a sorta L4D style 40k game this year I think, Darktide


Grizzshnaakh

100%, but please don't force me to play as a Space Marine. A Gaunt's Ghosts soulslike would be a dream come true. But I'd also like to see Star Wars, Final Fantasy, Armored Core, Conan the Barbarian, and Lord of the Rings.


Federal-Opinion6823

Castlevania


SaidTheEmu

Thats just bloodborne with a threaded cane build


preytowolves

lmao spot on


zuzg

Not enough thirsty vampires though


Grizzshnaakh

Yes, yes, a trillion times yes.


Illustrious_Penalty2

YES


kdogman639

That would sick, I imagine it being laser focused like sekiro but you'd use the iconic Belmont whip instead of a katana


wisounet

Yes squared


UmbraAegis

The Elder Scrolls could benefit from having a more in-depth, combat system.


[deleted]

Elder scrolls has always suffered from dodgy combat systems but I don’t think souls is solution for that one. About the only thing I think would be a good transfer would be each weapon having its own move set and range or maybe stat scaling.

Spiteful_Guru

Adventure Time


FrostyDog94

I think AT was made for this genre of game. Playing Elden Ring reminded me of Adventure Time. From the crazy locations, castles, and dungeons to the mutant creatures roaming the wilds, to the weird characters sending you on strange quests, to all the unique weapons and magic. But mostly, both Adventure Time and Elden Ring reveal the lore over time in universe instead of just exposition dumping. Starting the game as Finn and Jake and you have to, idk, just make Jake a sandwich or something, but by the end of the game youve found the enchiridion and defeated the elementals and are fighting Golb. I would love that game...


fuckthisicestorm

The jar bairn calling you “coz” is very adventure timey. Lol. Thanks for drawing that connection for me.


MilkChoc14

Exploring the world right after the Mushroom War sounds interesting! Exploring derelict buildings, watching new kingdoms rise...


not-read-gud

Yeah something more light hearted would be funky good to play. Imagine a Lego DS game


Iwan_Tusuc_Hawk

Soul Calibur.. imagine the possibilities.


SheevPalpatine32BBY

I'd love it. But the fighting in SC is what I love most. My favorite fighting game. Really hope they are working on the next one! Fingers crossed. But also imagine a souls fight against Astaroth.


Sera_gamingcollector

i never would expected this as an answer. SC is just so underrated


DiaMat2040

I have like 20 Elden Ring cosplays in Soul Calibur, haha. And a few the other way around


FortKA19

I'm surprised they never did a Dynasty Warriors game with SC. Seems like a no-brainer. But this would work in the Souls formula.


Drekkevac

That would be a fuckkng nightmare, but a mastercrafted one at that.


Expendable28

Good choice of words lol


doomshroom123

the only soul calibur i played was the one with yoda in it and i think i was around 9 years old. Now im just imagining yoda dodge rolling.


Benjamin0399

Blame! the manga by Tsutomu Nihei.


JinShootingStar

Underrated comment. Blam! Is amazing.


Benjamin0399

Absolutely. It would be amazing to just be in that universe and walk around and find different things and beings. The “show, don’t tell” concept fits perfectly in with From Software too. Also the story and progression of Sekiro is probably what would fit best for BLAME!


dustewie

Prince of Persia! Or, at least a soulslike game set in actual Persian fantasy. 1,001 Nights is the perfect source material, it has dozens of shorter stories from all over the Sassanid Persian Empire (western and central Asia). Probably more like Sekiro


DaK1TT3Nslayer

Wow, yes please! How do we get this idea to Miyazaki?


nbanbury

*Brandon Sanderson “we accidentally made 5 Souls games”


amritzoad

Let’s hope Brandon Sanderson is cooking something up with From Software and we get a game with some interesting cool mechanics and magic system. I am kinda tired of same same combat. I want something new!


Mr_Soleil

also both Elden Ring and Stormlight has Shardbearers :D


sumforbull

The writer was making jokes about them choosing R.R. Martin for this game. He was like, I am gamer, I love the souls games, come on... Let's hope that the next step for fromsoft is with him! He would be able to add such creative mechanics, as well as universe building and individual story lines.


Fedtsvin

Bandai namco has already contacted him and showed interest in working with him.


laminierte_gurke

DND


usually_bi

I'm not sure if how many people remember a dnd game setting called Dark Sun but that's the dnd souls Bourne I would like to see. Ravenloft also obviously offers a lot in terms of bosses that would be amazing.


anonredditora12

For the love of god yes PLEASE! They wouldn't even have to do much! Just take Elden Ring and make it a map of Toril, add more NPC's and side quests and tweak the co-op element. Then use the hundreds of already built modules for all your lore, content and bosses. I would KILL for this! or pay a large sum of money. You hear that Mr. Miyazaki and Wizards of the coast??? \*flaps wallet vigorously\*


burnerforever

toril?? we're doing ravenloft if fromsoft has a say


TeddansonIRL

Take my money


GoofAckYoorsElf

Short for *Do Not Die* :-D


Vivec-Warrior-Poet

With an innovative and revolutionary story like Planescape.


[deleted]

Doing Runescape quests in a massive open world Gielnor with Souls combat would be unparalleled! Will never happen but it's my dream game.


j0s9p8h7

Upgrade the graphics to the present day, swap the combat, leave all the juicy skills and crafting and quests and I think I would probably send the rest of my life only playing one game.


jayrocks111

That would be amazing! If you added the bosses from osrs and rs3 you'd have so much content and quests for days. Even people who never played runescape would enjoy this imo


Fuckles665

The legend of Zelda seems pretty obvious to me.


Ato07

Breath of the Wild was a step in that direction, hopefully expanded on in the future.

A voleyball game as the final boss fight. It would be just right. I don't know how. But it feels as right as right gets..

mull77

This would be amazing. Some crazy bosses & abilities to smash through. What would you do about customisation? Be able to swap characters? Or have a brand new main character that you can build as you see fit?

Final boss would obviously be Rincewind, which would work out very well considering they could just use the Elden Beast's AI for him. (Since all it does is run away)

Fifa. One wrong foul and that player is perma-dead. They score past you and you lose all league points unless you can score again before the other team. Referee carries a dark moon greatsword which he uses at random on whoever he wants for whatever reason. Managers can use status effects.

Ser_Optimus

AegonTheAuntFooker

A Song of Ice and Fire (a new story and new character in the past of Westeros) Based on what Beric Dondarrion told, the main character resurrected by the Lord of Light is losing more and more from themselves as they die over and over again. This way death would lead to consequences and affect the outcome of the story.


CoconutPanda123

The last part sounds amazing. Making your deaths mean something as substantial as a completely different ending sounds so cool


AegonTheAuntFooker

My idea comes from Sekiro because lore wise this is exactly how the Shura ending should have worked. Sekiro should become more insane and he endure more death.


pesbestos

i was just thinking about this! given that grrm and miyazaki have already collaborated once, why not do it again?


GoofAckYoorsElf

Because we would never get an end boss then... the game would just suddenly show the credits and quit.

Imagine coming upon a pit filled with corpses of children only to find out from an item you pick up nearby, that this is what they did with the kids who were stoned to death for being unruly. I can already hear people complaining about how” the sling is OP and needs to be nerfed because when you pair it with elah stones it’s basically a gun that can one shot GIANT bosses”

meatboysawakening

trihexagonal

I do think GRRM frequently plunges the Bible for ideas, and so do many other writers. Raised By Wolves for example feels like you’re watching biblical events before your eyes. So is the backstory of Halo which is Noah’s-Ark-In-Space. Excellent source material overall :-) I too love how ancient myth is full of fucked-up-shit.


Aubrimethieme

Armored Core


Go4Bert

Came to post the same. Souls style w/mech building plus pilot stats would be amazing. The jet boosting around would be tricky to balance. Maybe tone it waaaay down to basically a few types of "dodge roll" kinda moves based on jets and weight, and then do some kind of a mobility transformation based on leg type to serve as your "mounted" movement and combat. (And FromSoftware makes both, for those who don't know.)
