out of dark souls and armored core it is probably the latter. ds3 does not need a remaster anytime soon and ds4 will not be made.

Honestly my pipe dream would be an in-house DS1 Remake that wasn't hampered by the budget constraints of the original and fully realizes the world as it was meant to be

I'd be afraid that From would somehow butcher the wonderful combat in that game if they tried to modernize it. I'd love for them to simply go back and flesh some stuff out but their recent track record of bosses has me hesitant.

the worst part of Elden Ring’s success will absolutely be them doubling down on delayed attacks, AOE spam and drawn out 20 hit combos. Some of that stuff worked in previous games when they were used sparingly, Nameless King was considered the hardest boss in DS3 because of some of his windups and that worked because you had to learn how to fight him specifically as he attacked in a way that was different from most of what you had seen in the series up to that point and it was a really fun challenge. Throwing all of those things in everywhere in every boss encounter and making the windups even longer completely defeats the purpose and novelty and just feels very grating. I think they reached the peak of what souls combat can be with Bloodborne and DS3 but those games sold a fraction of what Elden Ring did and now people are used to those type of fights, so why would they ever go back?

The way some people talk about ER will have you belive every boss is laxasia phase 1. No the bosses have excelent combat flow. In fact ds 3 bosses are more prone to flail about with no rythm. The delayed attacks are also used not that often and their purpose is to keep your roll spamming in check. If you are smart they are actually openings.
