RUMOR: Project Beast (From Software/Sony Japan Studio, PS4) [Port begging = ban]

The fact that it's listed as "Project" Beast, leads me to believe that it's rather far away.

Usually when you put the title Project in front of something it means that it isn't going to be ready for a while.

Dark Souls was announced as Project Dark about a year before it launched.

GUYS WHY ARE YOU SAYING IT'S PS4 IT LOOKS LIKE AN N-GAGE GAME
 
So probably not Demon's Souls 2 per se, but maybe a game set in Boletaria? Pretty neat.

If legit, glad From is involved at least. Really didn't like the idea of Sony doing something with that IP without them.
 
Based on some of the stuff (the mention of a large Mind Flayer), I think this takes place in Boletaria, but do the presence of a possible gun, no doubt some time has passed.

Mindflayers were in Latria though. Remember, DeS's world is not interconnect but from 5 different lands. Boletaria is just world 1.
 
I still remember near end of 2012 the moment that at VGA Dark Souls 2 was announced as the surprise, and took down neoGAF server :D
 
If From is making this for PS4, then they better be working on Ninja Blade 2 for Xbone. Everyone would be happy then!

Not me. It would mean I have to buy a Xbox one earlier.

personally I find the souls series to be pretty shit. I'm not interested in this type of game.I'd take a next gen armoured core or Ninja blade over it any day.
 
To everyone making weird remarks about a downgrade, because DS2 happened to get that treatment -- I kinda feel like Sony is making damn sure that this will not happen in any way, shape or form. Because it's an exclusive title, and also codeveloped by Sony etc.
 
I was hoping they'd finally do a King's Field successor. DS formula is getting a bit stale but I guess this one has guns so it's at least trying something new.

Dark Souls was "Project Dark" at TGS2010, came out about a year later.

I think DeS got a bit downgraded from its reveal. Hopefully we don't have to go through a downgrade thread again though.
 
I'm not, I'm questioning all the exclamation regarding awesome graphics and PS4 when the screenshot just don't show that.

The brick work alone is beyond that of vita and PS3 based on the recent dark souls downgrade. That's clear even from the low quality of the screenshots.
 
After DkS 2 I think FROM should kill that franchise.

Souls series should continue but lets visit new worlds with new lore.

For all intents and purposes, Dark Souls 2 was a new world and lore. There are some tiny threads connecting it to Dark 1, but I feel it's mostly fan service that really isn't relevant to anything.
 
Yeah I think this is a 2015 title. Hopefully. I don't want to get a PS4 this year :(

A notable amount of stuff was re used though.

New Souls series has much better chance of including new things, like shotguns lol
 
I'm interested, but assuming it's goes along the line of the Souls games, I really hope they tighten the controls to make it more like Demons Souls as opposed to Dark Souls 2.
 
Thanks guys, I didn't see where originally that the pictures were taken from a trailer. (I didn't visit the 4chan darkness.) Thus expectations for lack of cursor

I just assumed since PS4 they were taken via Share button or whatever and that the crappy quality was because of the host compression.
 
God I hope Sony ninja's help FROM with graphics/performance and make it look like a true PS4 exclusive. If IF:SS being an open world game can look that amazing, FROM better step up their game and deliver in terms of visuals. The Soul games have great art, but lack technically. Hope this is really the beast.
 
That was posted in June 2013. It clearly meant TGS 2013. It's safe to say that the reveal got pushed not to coincide with Dark Souls 2.

No that was posted in June 2013, it was also stated around that time that some big reveals were pushed from TGS and Gamescom so its likely this is an E3 reveal.

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying

Man Sony really held back game reveals etc last year didn't they...they just rode the initial hype/success all the way until now. Impressive really
