    Could be good, Alex Garland is a very competent director.

    The question is, what kind of story are they looking to tell? They can’t do a full chronology and having a simple “Tarnished kills all of the bosses” type of story would be very boring.

      It will turn into a “war is hell” story, or go on a large tangent about whether NPC summons have (human) souls.

      I’ve tried watching A24 movies, but I was disappointed every time. They have great production, but the story and dialogue of those movies make me never want to watch another.

        I know people love to shit on A24, but they’ve put out good films. Some examples:

        Enemy (Villeneuve)

        Ex Machina

        Room

        The Witch

        Green Room

        The Lobster

        Good Time

        The Killing of a Sacred Deer

        Hereditary

        Eighth Grade

        Mid90s

        Midsommar

        The Lighthouse

        Uncut Gems

        Everything Everywhere All at Once

        …Honestly, I was just scrolling through the list on wikipedia chronologically, and got tired and feel like I listed more than enough. That’s only some of them up to like 2021… There’s been some good ones since (Zone of Interest for one) Check out the list yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_A24_films

          I’m surprised to see the dislike, I try and catch most A24 movies and am part of some groups on other sites to track and discuss them, most of the time they’re solid IMO.

          But on this community most people seem to gear heavily negative to pretty much everything that’s posted so I’m not really surprised.

          I was just being a little shit. I love a lot of the movies they produce, but they are very focused on aesthetics

        A24 movies have story? I just watch them for the haunting still life pans, dark synth, and general vibe.

          Kinda a good fit for a FromSoft game. Lost of impressive visuals, action, and tons of clues about a story sprinkled throughout the game without actually telling a story.
