The creator of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro has expressed interest in creating a game where the story is the focal point, rather than the gameplay.
Talking at the opening keynote presentation at Reboot Develop, a games industry event in Dubrovnik, Croatia, VG247 reports that FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki explained that he’d love to make a game where story is the focus. He namechecked Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 as an example of the kind of game he was thinking about.
Miyazaki spoke about this in a wider conversation about the idea of favouring gameplay over story. He appeared alongside Fumito Ueda, the creator of Shadow of the Colossus, who is also famed for prioritising gameplay mechanics.
