Would you be fine with a Bloodborne sequel developed by Platinum with Kamiya as director?

[Deleted member 19767]

I mean, yes, I'd play it.

But on the other hand, there's nothing that I think Platinum would bring to the table that I think would improve the original Bloodborne - so it would almost be an entirely different game for no reason at all. So no, I don't want it.

No. Kamiya sucks and the best game he had his hand in was the original Devil May Cry (having not played Astral Chain.) Stop putting him and Platinum on this inane pedestal.

Imagine thinking Kamiya sucks when his entire career is a series of brilliant classics. His enthusiasm for the sheer joy of video games shines through all of his work. Beyond that, he's clearly a capable director with a knack for good design principles. What I mean is, all of his games feel good to play on a fundamental level, which is only possible with skilled team members guided by clear-headed direction and the right priorities.

A Kamiya game is guaranteed to have fun mechanics, ambitious design, and loads of added value.

To be fair, Bloodborne is untouchable (I'm biased). But it shouldn't be excuse to shit on Platinum - they make excellent games (sometimes).

fuck no

You could argue that he has a lot greater pedigree than most devs, so I wouldn't say he sucks especially with games he's been involved in.

 

[Cipher Peon]

I greatly dislike Platinum's general approach to combat so probably not

Sure, I'd be "fine" with it. Kamiya is a good director and Platinum are great devs. But there's smiling and nodding "fine", and there's glowering and head-shaking "fine".

 

[Zolbrod]

I would love to see Kamiya do a Bloodborne game, but I wouldn't approach it as "regular" Bloodborne.
It would be its own, undoubtedly batshit insane thing.

 

[N64Controller]

No

 

[Polioliolio]

No, I don't really want anyone to make souls games except Fromsoftware.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

What? NO!

Bloodborne design philosophy when it comes to environments and combat is so different lending it's influence from Dark Souls versus something like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta.

And I don't come to play Bloodbourn to play like those kind of character action games which I don't really play much.

 

[youwei]

no thank you
they need full concentration on Bayonetta 3 as NCL is funding

 

[Hilarious_Bearious]

I would actively sabotage this.

 

[Sulik2]

Uhm no. Bloodborne is the literal GOAT, unless it's from dont make it.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Double post.

 

[Chief Malik]

Hell fucking nah, absolutely not, holy shit no. I wouldn't even want kamiya on devil may cry at this point, let alone fucking bloodborne.

 

[PenultimateFantasy]

Not in any way.

I really don't like Platinum games

 

[Darktalon]

Can we just turn ResetERA off for a day? I think we need a hard reboot.

I don't think there's another director with a hit streak like Kamiya. Six games, six bangers. 100% success ratio over a 20+ year career.

The stats don't lie, chaps. Hideki Kamiya: the GOATest of all time.

 

[rics2980]

Short and sweet but hell fucking no.

 

[MrWindUpBird]

Bloodborne isn't an inane pedestal and is not in an echelon upon it's own.

The two don't really have a whole lot to do with each other and for many both Kamiya games and Bloodborne's spotlight is in it's gameplay, so I think combining these wouldn't be particularly complimentary.

Click to shrink...

I didn't say Bloodborne was? Most definitely has its flaws and it's not a perfect game, but it absolutely is the antithesis for Platinum's vision when it comes to their character action games/action RPGS.

 

[Deleted member 19533]

Yes. A souls game that runs well and has better than basic combat would be fantastic.

 

[The Living Tribunal]

 

[ThatNerdGUI]

NOPE NOPE NOPE

 

[FFNB]

Whut?

No. Platinum makes fun games, yes, but I don't want them touching Bloodborne. Let them make their own Soulslike if they're so inclined, which I'm sure would be amazing. Personally, I prefer letting developers make the games they want to make and are passionate about making, instead of assigning them an IP to work on that they may, or may not, have an interest in tackling at all.

Now, I think a more "fun" question would be, "If Kamiya and Platinum games decided to create a new IP in the soulslike genre, what would/should it be?" Then we can have fun speculating on themes, combat mechanics, setting, who should publish it and why, etc, etc.

 

[slothrop]

You clearly dont understand Bloodborne. How can you make such an asinine thread.

Click to shrink...

Yeah. And I say this as a Bayo fan too. They're not remotely the same kind of game, except vaguely that you move around and wack things with weapons.

 

[RestEerie]

Subtlety & environmental storytelling are not Kamiya's forte

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

sounds horrible

 

[Zem]

Yes, it would be fun to sit back and watch the internet burn. For that reason I'm all in on this happening.

 

[Bunta]

Sounds awful.

After not being able to beat Orphan of Kos no matter what I tried, fuck Bloodborne. Lots of others had the same issue. Boss is insanely difficult without paying for PS+, even with top tier gems and stats. It literally will use an invisible hand to move you in front and proceed to lambast you with a series of aerial attacks that can reach 50 meters. Only way to avoid it when it bullshit grabs you as you correctly dodge is to unlock the camera and run like hell and then dodge as it hurls feces or whatever the fuck. Still so angry about it.

 

[-Tetsuo-]

That is going to be a hell no from me

 

[Biteren]

It wouldn't be bloodborne but I'm not gonna say no to a ps4 platinum game

 

[Voke]

the thought of that really irks me. two completely different developers.

 

[Anti]

No, it would be horrible.

 

[Ghost of Jhoto]

Platinum games are the opposite of everything I like in a fromsoft game...so nah.

 

[Bee.Cups]

Absolutely not.
I know people love Platinum but their combat systems always end up feeling very button mashy and combo based to me, pretty much exactly the opposite of souls games and bloodborne in particular. I don't think I'd trust anyone other than from soft or former from soft employees to completely keep that careful reactionary flow bloodborne is known for.
Also, as some have said, platinum can't help but add wacky to their games and wacky and bloodborne probably aren't a good fit.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

I genuinely think people saying Bloodborne has "bad" or "basic" combat are just really bad at Bloodborne.

I'm not even a "git good" player, but it has a clear and deliberate design philosophy that some of you just don't understand *shrugs*

Give it to Atlus's Persona team instead.

- Will be prequel.
- Protagonist is teen male student at Bygenwerth Academy.
- Protagonist have special ability to capture and summon Eldritch Horror.
- Lady Maria, Vicar Amelia, Eileen, Gehrman, Gascoigne will have Social Link. The first three can be romanced.
- Protagonist will have (little) sister like figure, which also romanceable
- Obligatory beach/bikini episode.
- Turn Based combat, with J-rock/pop with vocal as battle theme.
- The protagonist will defeat the final boss with the Power of Friendship, complete with a montage of supporting characters saying "I believe in you/You can do this/etc" while looking at the sky.
- Two predatory gay character that are played for laugh.

Even as a joke this is a better idea that OPs.

 

[jblanco]

Absolutely not.

I respect Kamiya and Platinum Games, but I've accepted that they are not for me.

Meanwhile From Software nails absolutely everything I like. Bloodborne is perhaps my absolute perfect game.

So, why would I want to take a chance on an idea that is very likely I would not like?

 

[Something Creative]

The worst part about this is that it's given people the green light to shit on platinum to defend their precious untouchable BB, ugh

Not to defend, but to make explicit the absurdity of the notion.

But indeed, Bloodborne is precious and untouchable. This has 'HEY GUYS WHAT IF MICHAEL BAY MADE GOODFELLAS 2' energy

He was the biggest roadblock for me too, but it gets a bit easier if you can time your parries. Dodge doesn't work as well.

 

[Dreamgazer]

Ill be fine with it, provided you also allow Kojima to make a mainline Halo sequel.

Click to shrink...

I can't parry, I didn't think that was a viable strat as sometimes he leaps like 20 feet into the air and the bullet misses. I read that it doesn't even have a backstab animation and pauses for 4 seconds and that's how some were able to solo.

It definitely does not fit the soulsborne standard as a balanced boss. Got the last bosses easy, farmed loran chalice and got to level 180 with 20+% phys up gems and the fucker makes his whaling sounds and DED.

I swear I could savagely wreck the base games final bosses in 30 seconds but I jus cant with orphan.

Anyway I've given up and let go. Knowing the game's endings, the inception boss is kind of pointless. I wish I never got the DLC, my impression of the game went from an awesome 9/10 to regrets.

Edit: seems you are correct. It's like an ambiguous version of the previous boss but even this guy is struggling to avoid death after who knows how many cuts and is misses parry half the time....pass

Hell no. If Miyazaki doesn't come back for it I don't want it. Don't need another Dark Souls 2 scenario.

Elden Ring 2 developed by Young Horses - who says no?

 

[dlauv]

No because there would be bad Space Harrier bullshit

 

[Mattakuevan]

I cannot think of a worse dev studio off the top of my head to take up the mantle. Platinum games are good and fine, but focus on entirely different things than from soft.

 

[Flaurehn]

This is not even like an outlandish idea, just a really bad one. Wanna make it interesting? How about a Cliffy B(loodborne) directed one
