[QUOTE=Lolkork;49836578]Lords of the fallen wasn't just 'a bit like dark souls'. It was basically a dark souls clone.

It wasn't a bad game, its great that they are making a more original twist on the concept.[/QUOTE]
Lords of the Fallen had a lot of issues I hope they can resolve
Lords of the Fallen was an attempt to recreate some of the core mechanics and experiences from Souls games, they had some neat ideas and concepts but the execution left a lot to be desired. It's an mediocre game at best.

How was it mediocre? It was fun. If my computer wasn't literally garbage I'd be playing through it again right now.
This was an ARPG, real time combat, that pushed me to play it despite being only at 20fps. It had a lot of great & original ideas that you can even see in Bloodborne and DS3, such as the charging up heavy attacks that made it into both games.

Liking a game =/= good game
Lords of the Fallen saw Dark Souls and figured to do the same, without exactly realizing why things were as they were in Souls games. Hopefully they've gotten better, maybe they haven't. We'll see in time, I guess.
A sci-fi Souls game really does sound like a cool idea.

[QUOTE=Clovis;49841424]You know its a shame we call those games "Clones". 20 years ago we started calling games "Metroidvania" and that was a good thing, so why aren't we supportive of souls-like games?[/QUOTE]
It's just a catch-all term and not necessarily derivative because the sub-genre is new. It still exists with "rogue-like" (a game like Rogue), and existed for FPSes at one point with "doom clone" and to a lesser extent "dota clone". Give it time and maybe they'll come up with something better.

If it makes you hype in any fashion, pretty sure Miyazaki has expressed interest in such a game.
It seems dark souls is a game journalist's favourite comparison
[QUOTE=usaokay;49842002]Maybe set Dark Souls in 1980s Compton.[/QUOTE]
i would play the hell out of this

It's kind of hard to define a genre or subgenre when there are 5 games in it, 4 of which are made by the same people.

Holy fuck that looks sick
[QUOTE=usaokay;49841963]You mean like how Final Fantasy goes from a fantasy motif to a sci-fi motif[/QUOTE]
What's with that anyways? I never really wrapped my head around it.
