Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Reported by insider DanielRPK, via the Twitter account ScreenTime, the Bloodborne movie was said to still be in development, as the production is currently trying to find a director to helm the project. The adaptation was said to be in the works back in 2023, and one director is on every fan’s lips to make the IP his own. Guillermo del Toro is the fan-favorite director to take the reins, as the creative has a very distinct gothic style in all his fantasy works.

Bloodborne isn’t the only soulslike IP that’s being turned into a movie, as FromSoftware’s other behemoth, Elden Ring, will also be shown the silver-screen treatment. The adaptation is confirmed to be helmed by 28 Years Later writer and this year’s Warfare director Alex Garland, who has been playing through the action RPG several times in preparation and seems to have boss battling down to a tee. Elden Ring writer and Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin recently gave his blessing to the movie adaptation and Garland’s involvement, and fans of the writer know how candid he can be.

Bloodborne will get a 24fps downgrade before getting a 60fps patch, mark my words

They're really milking the wrong udder with this one. Give us BB on PC first. I'm not going to pay to see the movie until I've played the game, and I'm not going to pay to play the game on console.

I think that ship's sailed with the passed tenth anniversary. If that wasn't the time for anything related to Bloodborne, I don't know what is

Sadly I think you're right
