At first glimpse yes. The writing on the background puts a doubt on that. It could still be Bloodborne or another Souls-like, but on a oriental setting.Dreiko said:
Which brings me to my hope for a new Tenchu game. The phrase "shadows die twice" also seem ninja-esque, so I'm taking that as another hint.Diablo2000 said:
My guess/hope: new Tenchu game
Possiblitiy: Shadow Tower
2nd Possiblity: BloodBorne 2...though honestly I kinda want them to take a break from the SoulsBorne type of games.
The teaser does kind of have a Bloodborne aesthetic and the thing itself looks like a prosthetic with the kind of trick weapon influence the likes that would fit on Gehrman's missing leg? Like, maybe after the events of Bloodborne he ended up in an eastern land or something. It could give the game an entirely new vibe away from the Lovecraftian, gothic horror of the original. Though, more Bloodborne might just be wishful thinking on my part.
It definitely does have Miyazaki's touch though. Maybe a new Tenchu inspired by his vision, or a new IP ofcourse. Anything that genius touches fills me with jooooooooyy. It's been a long time since we heard anything from From Software and this teaser feels like coming home.

Huh. I kinda hope its BloodBorne 2, but then again my and BloodBorne have a strained relationship...
Eh, I'm playing it right for me, but I'm pretty sure most fans would say I'm not having the 'true' Souls game experience. See I hate Boss grinding, especially if you lose progress, ie souls, with every death, and equipment and weapon degradation and most victories come down to luck or hope that the hit box didn't register.Silvanus said:
It was after 15+ attempts to fight the Blood Starved Beast that when I finally killed it I decided I was done with traditional boss fighting. I give boss fights 1 go by myself with my hammer and fire paper and what not, then if I fail, I summon as much support as I can. Other players, in-game hunters, whatever. We between 3 or 4 fighter we can curb stomp the bastard and I can finally get on with my game.
Besides exploring the levels and fighting the smaller monsters is way better than Boss grinding. I'm on the DLC now and I'm about to fight the weird horse monster paladin dude, and I'm really not looking forward to it.
Ludwig is... an utterly horrifying experience to fight. I do not envy anybody at that point in the game. If you've joined The League covenant, apparently you can summon additional help, though I didn't do that myself (because I wasn't aware!) so I can't attest to its usefulness.Silentpony said:
The Blood-Starved Beast is a bit of a trial-by-fire, significantly harder than a lot of bosses that come after, though. I wouldn't say I experienced quite so much frustration again, at least not in the main areas of the main game.
Alot of the bosses I have managed to do on the first go, so yeah maybe Blood Starved beast is an outlier. I managed to do the Cleric Beast, the Shadows of Yhharhahr of whatever, the Witch, the werewolf lady, the Rom slug thing, and one of those weird giant spider alien things on my first goes, but I grant I've leveled my character way higher than the recommended level.Silvanus said:
I always loved the early levels of tenchu where you could assassinate everyone but once you had the floating heads and all that nonsense I never liked it as much. Absolutely loved the 2 player missions however.RJ 17 said:
I think its unlikely to be Tenchu I would expect a new IP but if we are grasping at straws and trying to draw comparisons the Shadows Die Twice thing could relate as in Shadows and Ninjas and there were 2 main characters at least in the Tenchu games I played (think the first may have just had the guy). Could also mean that they disappear i.e fake their own death as in kill their identity and link to the past to be reborn as a shadow i.e Ninja and then the second time they die is their actual death.
As much as I really, really liked Bloodborne(except Micolash, who can suck it), I'm not eagerly awaiting a 2nd one because I honestly think it's one of those things that worked really well once and trying to do a BB2 just wouldn't work nearly as well. It stands well enough on it's own, despite lots of unanswered questions and mysteries.
Not to mention I get the feeling Miazaki really just wants to do something else. He obviously wanted to do something else after Dark Souls(which is where Bloodborne came from) and Dark Souls 3 seems like he's officially saying "I'm done. I'm moving on to something else. I'm literally bringing the world to an end. Is that obvious enough for you of my intentions?"
Besides, I'm sure they'll continue to make Souls-like games, just probably no more actual souls games(not for a while, anyway).
Though I could totally be wrong too when the thing is actually announced.

FROM made more games than Tenchu and Souls. It could be a Kuon sequel, it fits the horror tone and the Japanese writing.
