I don't know what the deal is with people wanting a sci-fi Dark Souls game.

I've been playing the series since DeS, and it's always been really obvious that from the introduction cutscene, atmosphere, and gameplay that you're supposed to feel tiny, helpless, and unequipped with all the horrible shit that lurks ahead. Unless it's like Half-Life, where you are one person alone, barely surviving aliens/soldiers, with whatever is available, don't even bother. I know most of you are thinking of a WACKY, RADICAL anime-esque hack-and-slash, with big robots, blue laser swords, and cool rock music when you hear Dark Souls in space, instead of slow, brutal, and alien sci-fi.

Scifi can't make you feel like that? What about Jim Burns or HR Giger art? Or the System Shock games? Scifi can be dark and ominous.

The type of scifi we don't want is that shitty looking game coming out soon by the Lords of the Fallen guys.

Got you covered senpai!

LITERAL strawman.

Read Lovecraft. Read Eugene Thacker's In the Dust of this Planet. Understand that science fiction breeds cosmicism, fatalism, misanthropy and apatheism.

Understand that those themes resonate with Dark Souls, just as it did with Bloodborne.

he is right then

oh .. i love this

Alien Shooter 1 and aspectialy Second

MALL PLANET?

I don't know if it's scifi, caveman or modern day setting all I know is that the medieval knights&sorcery setting is getting pretty stale for me.

>I know most of you are thinking of a WACKY, RADICAL anime-esque hack-and-slash, with big robots, blue laser swords, and cool rock music when you hear Dark Souls in space, instead of slow, brutal, and alien sci-fi.

Since this is From I expect them to do a Bloodborne/Lovecraft/Giger Sci-Fi themed game. From does not go over the top anime shit.

About what?

>I know most of you are thinking of a WACKY, RADICAL anime-esque hack-and-slash, with big robots, blue laser swords, and cool rock music when you hear Dark Souls in space, instead of slow, brutal, and alien sci-fi.

No?

>Lords of the Fallen devs
>With recycled animations
>And more level scaling

maybe dead space 1 and 2 on hardest difficulty ?
try it you you already did not

>I know most of you are thinking of a WACKY, RADICAL anime-esque hack-and-slash, with big robots, blue laser swords, and cool rock music when you hear Dark Souls in space, instead of slow, brutal, and alien sci-fi.

No?

Why is that worm eating a giant penis?

>No?

No?

Is it even fun?

about teleglich, you dummy =)

Why not?

Dead Space 1 is better than RE4. No meme.
Dead Space 2 is a more fun but less scary Dead Space 1.

Dead Space 3 is meh.

oh yeah Scorn is coming out, you´ll get this meme idea anyway. i like how depressing the trailer was

yes it is. dont be memed out of this game. its something that wont happen in next 5 years for sure

...

>lords of the fallen dev
Dropped

>I know most of you are thinking of a WACKY, RADICAL anime-esque hack-and-slash, with big robots, blue laser swords, and cool rock music when you hear Dark Souls in space, instead of slow, brutal, and alien sci-fi.
No?

Dead Space is fun. Mostly because decapitation combat is a good thing.

lords of the fallen may be generic western wow-esque stamp

but there is something satisfying in this game. simple slasher in spare time, 5-7$ game with millions of budget

why not? i got it for free on sub.

Wow, company you work for is secretly the big bad and oh no trump is evil, what a good story.

You're not familiar with Giger's work?

I'd play it if I got it free but no way in hell am I ever buying this game no matter how how cheap

it will be next "Soma"

hate to say it. nothing special

better play some DarkSeed if you want something sapecial

>be generic western wow-esque stamp
But thats also wrong.
Its fine.
Its just not... good.
Between poor design decisions, no variety in environments, a lot of shit weapon movesets.

>shit weapon movesets
You didn't even get it.

>Dead Space 1 is better than RE4. No meme.

I disagree. RE4 has much better pacing and story. Maybe if you're one of those autists who hates good games like The Last of Us you will think Dead Space is better because "the only things that matter are graphics and the controls!!!" or whatever it is you hate about great games. But for normal people RE4 is the better game.

Some are fine.
Then there is shit like the gigahammers 1H: Which doesn't exist, even if it had a ludricous requirement to even be wielded.

he is dead now.

some hard drags in his life...

was a joy to watch his art
but all of his art was some horrific nightmare fuel for himself

its not worth it i guess

>From does not go over the top anime shit.

Well. Apart from Armored Core, Spriggan, Frame Gride, Evergrace, Forever Kingdom, Lost Kingdoms, Otog, Otogi 2, Murakumo, Enchanted Arms.

FFFFUCK YOU'RE RIGHT

re4 had some wacky-slocky moments for the sake of it, and it is not a so-called "good story"

leave it be. DeadSpace and RE4 are equally good.

...

have a (you) too

No, I think of something like Blame! you faggot.

A WH40K setting would work really well.
You'd be an unimportant chaos cultist and work your way to godhood.

The major problem wasn't the generic setting or the copy pasted mechanics the problem was how floaty and slow combat was even compared to DaS1.

...

Being in space, with planets all around emphasizing your insignificance would fit in perfectly with the souls feel. Hell, take the pistol concept from bloodborne and change it into blasters for partying, take boosting from armored core and apply it to dodging in low gravity, and take the sword play of souls and give it a laser cutter/space pick/light saber work over and there's your fucking game. Have guest appearances from BB aliums or something to stroke the lorefiends cocks. It would be easily doable.

>Scifi Dark Souls

We all know how shitty ranged combat is in Dark Souls and now you want a game with only that?

>Hurr muh energy swords

So you dont want sci fi dark souls you want weeb sci fi dark souls

You could pull a dark souls huge environment with a derelict space station.

>The ruined residential district
>The Religious Hub
>The agroponics section
>Engineering section

How would you implement combat in this? Sci-fi usually begs for high tech ranged weaponry, but soulsborne has it's mark in the difficult melee combat.

I never got what was Giger's issue with sex, everything is tits and dicks and vaginas and assholes in his work, the most scary parts about said sexual things even.

>RE4
>story
fack right off normalfag and RE4 story was crap

Star Wars is weeb now?

Or just.
>oh no, I've crash landed on this planet, if only I had my sci-fi blaster. Oh well, I'm gonna grab this old sword lying here in this temple for protection instead.

That's exactly the point. Sex is supposed to be one of the main motivators to life (go forth and multiply), so he corrupts sex, transforming it into an aberration, but still manages to capture some semblance of eroticism in it.

>spend your whole life painting nightmare fuel

Must've been a weird guy.

You could set it in a space station setting so there wouldn't be a lot of ranged weaponry available for fear of decompression. Or ammo scarcity/unreliable equipment making you unable to spam ranged weapons.

Have space station be hub.
Travel to planets via teleporters.
Use DS2 area transition logic.

Would work well, and allow for more varying environments.

This is a shit post. Not a shitpost, but a shit post. I think you're a moron.

What equivalence does The Last of Us share to Resident Evil 4 that Dead Space doesn't?
If I said graphics mattered most, why would I be hating on The Last of Us? Who even mentioned that game?

If you compare the two, ignoring release dates, Dead Space feels better. How can you dispute it? Better environmental/enemy designs, more creative gameplay and weapons, better controls. More enemy variety. Equally as long. Equal replayability. Bosses are just as boring as each others. Both have the same amount of low points.

The only things Resident Evil 4 has above Dead Space are:

- Puzzles ("""puzzles""")
- Familiar franchise characters
- Additional game mode
- Better introduction

People just say Resident Evil 4 is better in this topic because it's more historic and nostalgic. If you put aside things as petty as whatever the fuck you mentioned in your post, they're JUST as good as each other, even if Dead Space was dedicated to being an improvement of the Resident Evil 4 formula and achieved it.

And absolutely no one is going to agree with you about Resident Evil 4 having a decent story. It was garbage. That's a curse of the franchise beyond the lore you read from notes.

Damn, that was a sick ass burn

I still want a blowjob from the alien queen.

Fun fact, the alien queen was actually designed by James Cameron, not Giger.

It's called Dead Space my dude
It's good

>Sci-fi usually begs for high tech ranged weaponry
Do something similar to Dune. Shields make ranged weaponry 'obsolete' in close encounters so melee weapons are utilized instead.

Or

Problem would be combat imo. Seems to me hard to make a Souls game with guns feel as intimidating, which is why I think the guns Bloodborne are just for parrying.

I heard HR Giger doesn't even like the second film very much.

You didn't explain why SF souls would be bad at all. Since when SF can't be hopeless?

Well. It is just a kinda just a mediocre action film to be fair.

I mean, Alien might not exactly be a scary movie these days but at least it has the excuse of more or less inventing a sub-genre and revolutionizing sci-fi.

>40k game
>not about muhreens

lmao good luck with that

>Make something that is suppose to be scary, its designed with a specific goal to unsettle people
>Put into an action movie to die in droves, the design is not whats important, only that it is an alien and its something to shoot at
I mean I like the movie, but Id be kindof annoyed at that too.

The setting would work. Space marines wouldn't fit the game type.
I'm not saying the game would be made.
But obviously being a tiny ass chaos cultist amongst trillions upon trillions of others is the way to make a game like that.

No reason blasters or some shit cant just be used for parrying. Sci Fi doesn't necessarily mean shooting. Sure throw in some lasers, but what about a space hammer, or some hydraulic shit. Maybe even have normal tools, but by killing bosses, instead of souls you get some alien bio material shit you can adapt to them with special transformations a la Bloodborne. Like "Ayylmao's Scrotum Hammer" or something.

Sadly this. GW will never do a 40k that's not jacking off their mascots. I'd love a game about being a cultist or even a guardsman stacked up against the damn-near impossible odds that 40k pits against normal humans but it'll never happen while marines are the best selling faction on the tabletop and the face of the franchise.

Why? It's not like he designed the alien. Just the look of it.

Fire Warrior

Not him, but pretty much nobody remembers or played it so it's not like he's wrong.

Bloodborne is sci-fi

What?

Weird-fiction
Trust me, I'm a Shoggoth

Sounds like das3 being some weird amalgamation of past games. It shouldn't just be a rehash desu.

>But for normal people
Where do you think you are?

Dead Space 1 would be kind of what I'd expect from a Space Souls game. Slow, methodical, brutal.

>Unless it's like Half-Life, where you are one person alone, barely surviving aliens/soldiers, with whatever is available, don't even bother.

That's exactly what most of us want, you tard. It would be perfect for moments like the picture you posted

Put it this way. From previously made a sci-fi King's Field game. I say that but it was retooled to be an atmospheric sci-fi horror thing, but that's the kind of place they could go with it.

Like, the Alien movies are sci-fi too ya know and that's sort of tone and setting would fit a Souls-esque game I'd say.

I'd love to see the bosses for a acidic souls game should be very interesting as its not just knights in armor anymore, we'd get a lot of creatures like OP pic related.

What are some good WACKY, RADICAL anime-esque hack-and-slash games with big robots, blue laser swords, and cool rock music then? Sounds like something I might like to play.

FROM made a game you might like called Metal Wolf Chaos.

Contra themed souls game when?

Armored Core. Funnily enough also made by From.

Or Also there are Zone of the Enders made by Kojima Pro.

Metal Gear Rising, but you've probably already played it.

I always thought a sci fi souls would be something like Angel's Egg.

A Souls game in the style of 'Speaker for the Dead' or 'Dune' might be interesting.

fuck yeah I love alien-fetus-asshole-foot-human-spider-woman

Just kill your self, fuck. Do you actually take Sup Forums opinions seriously?

Thanks, anons

>not Space Nito

Yes. Very. This is one of the last places on earth, where people give a shit about video games.
Also I'm dead already.
