The King of Fighters
What does that have to do with a "B" team.
They used his blueprint to make the game and he still served as supervisor over the title. Its very much a souls game just like the other ones.
Probably missing that real touch from him not being director tho, like how Twin Snakes wasn't held as being the same with Kojima actually directing. I bought it, but only played it for like 30 minutes so I wouldn't know about all that. I eventually returned it, knowing that there was going to be an eventual PS4-type version coming, and not only do we get a remaster, but also Bloodborne was shortly announced after I did that. I did however read from various places that DS2 was felt a bit "soul-less" due to his directing departure tho, both from series fans POV and in reviews in regards to Bloodborne being a bit more a return to form in level design.
