It IS Bloodborne...If you see one of DemonNite's posts he says his favorite game pre-updated E3 list (for last years E3) was number 1 on the list (which was Bloodborne before it was removed).

Pretty big deal if this is true (it looks very legit). This is also the first real leak of a Sony exclusive in a long time. This probably has more to do with it being a third party exclusive than anything internal. Also if it doesn't have a proper name I'm guessing it is a long way off indeed.
Its a Sony/From collaboration,they did it with Demon Souls,and now they are doing it again here.

I'm in agreement but I am also aware that these are horribly compressed and low res. Still... like the ground and leaf textures look flat and bland. The picture with him waking through the fog gate looks pretty great though.
If these are screen caps from a trailer and the trailer has a placeholder title I think it's probably not coming out in 2014
That actually makes it a bit scary.

Yeah just 1080p and 60fps for a Souls type game would be a big improvement.
offtopic:
Fuck no one give that shit site any hits. Clicked it without looking. Cmon hoho why are you linking to that shit site.
woah relax their buddy. dark souls 2 was not shitty and you seem salty. demon souls was made initially with help from Sony and that was exclusive so why are you mad

I really don't understand the relationships...Sony owns demon souls and worked 'with from software''...?
So who owns dark souls, and what is the relationship between demon and dark...and has From worked on both ?
Sigh, fine it's real. I hope it is anyway.
I just want everyone to stop mocking me.
Stop digging your own hole then.
It leaked early. Gives you time to start saving for a PS4.
Oh shit.
Well, they're working with Sony here and they definitely know how to work with the hardware and can help FromSoft that way. It'll be an upgrade for sure, but not Naughty Dog level. I'm hoping they're aiming for 60FPS.

GAF would be down the entire day.
What if they show some The Last Guardian gameplay and we became very fond of The Last guardian only to discover that he is indeed...
...the beast!
...And we will be forced to take him down!

I should've clarified, I didn't mean to say that it was completely absent, just that "gothic fantasy" took a priority over medieval Europe , whereas I think Demon's Souls had a perfect balance between the two.
An example would be the soundtracks, the baroque style of the demon's souls OST added to its atmosphere greatly

Both games were going for different styles, I get it, I just prefer the style of demon's souls to that of Dark Souls.
Either way, if Miyazaki is working on it, I'm happy regardless.

I love Pokken!
Also that will leave them open to developer Dark Souls III, their current multi-platform cash cow.
I highly doubt they will have a similar product to Dark/Demons for that reason alone. Not to mention it would be difficult to develop a theoretical Demon Souls 2 while differentiating it from the Dark Souls series.
Would make more sense to do a spin off series that is mutually beneficial to both From and Sony.

In those Demon Souls 2 threads a while back, one of the leakers mentioned that FROM are working on something that takes DM/DS's in a slightly different direction.
I then briefly imagined, WHAT IF we got a DS's set in a more modern era, with guns. I thought fuck, that would be awesome. Then tossed it out my mind, thinking something like that would never happen.
Hold me Sony. Just hold me.

I'm confused. Just found it through google images.
Why the fuck even bother making DaS2 with a team who obviously had no idea what they were doing if the main people were doing something else then, I'd rather they didn't bother.
lol i'M ACTUALLY crying in stupidity now. I can blame tiredness, I can blame the pills I have to put in my bum but honestly? I had just forgotten that there was another Miyazaki, one who have directed 2(hopefully 3) of my favorite series. Not saying I prefer Souls over others but they are definitely in the top.
Hidetaka Miyazaki...yepp, go in to a threads about FROMs new game don't ever think anything outside of it
Can't wait to craft a shield from that beak.What if they show some The Last Guardian gameplay and we became very fond of The Last guardian only to discover that he is indeed...

This is sarcasm guys. He's basically saying this is real and there's no reason not to believe it's real.
What I played of Dark Souls II is quite excellent and, at the very least, is of similar quality to the other Souls Games.
Dark Souls isn't exactly a showcase for the PS3, either. Not every PS4 game is going to look like Second Son.
This being a PS4 exclusive is probably fine for FROM and will sell consoles for Sony.
Although there aren't any solid sales numbers for DaS2, we can probably glean from the Dark Souls 2 Player site that the PS3 version sold a fare number of copies more than the 360 just based on current player deaths, assuming those numbers are accurate.
PS3 - 223,376,485
Xbox 360 - 86,715,406
PC (coming out a month later) - 40,495,909
Unless PS3 players just die 2.5x more than 360 players.

I hope this is real. It would tell me that I will have at least one Japanese title to look forward to.

It's still going to be huge. Confirming it's existence (which has been rumored) won't deflate any of the hype from seeing it in action for the first time.
Why not start building the hype train now? It's clearly worked well.
I'm done with them too. I haven't even played a DS game but you know what? I don't want to because they look crap. If they looked as colourful as Mario, maybe they'd have my curiosity.
He needed a new shield
Demon's Souls started as a SCEJ x FROM collabo dude. This is probably the spiritual successor to Demon's Souls. Namco Bandai wanted another Souls game to make some mula so FROM possibly decided to accept and make something similar but the proper sequel is this one I bet.
(PS: not saying Dark 1+2 are bad just different)
Demon's Souls - From Software in cooperation with Sony. Sony owns IP.
Dark Souls - From Software only (Demon's Souls team). From owns IP.
Dark Souls 2 - New From Software Team, veterans elsewhere...
Project Beast - Veterans behind Demon's Souls w/bigger internal Sony Japan team. Sony owns IP.
...eyeroll
yeah, they were like "fuck all those xbox and pc fans LOL lets make our next game exclusive to playstation just to spite them"
or maybe, if you weren't acting like an irrational baby you'd think about the fact that from software are a business. one that exists to make money. sony probably went to them with money and asked if they'd like to work for them on a sequel to demon's souls(or something similar) and they agreed, because why the fuck wouldn't they. sony probably (smartly) threw a lot of money their way after how big dark souls got

I think its pretty obvious with Souls coming from Demons Souls, a playstation exclusive, and the 350k Jp sales that the majority of sales come from PS3.
hey_it's_that_dog
benevolent sexism
The issue is that you started by saying "this looks ripped from Dark Souls 2 and therefore I'm not sure it's real" to "yes, this reminds me of an archway because it's an archway." That's why people are annoyed with you.
It might have been an honest mistake on your part, but it really sounded like you were claiming some geographical feature of DS2 was directly cut and pasted into the Project Beast screenshot, and therefore we should be skeptical of this rumor. Even though it's been essentially confirmed by multiple insiders, the mods believe it, and it's obvious that the two archways are different.
So if you're not trolling and are actually incredibly dense, do you understand the situation now?
