[FalsettoVibe]

Is this confirmed to be real?

 

[SniperHunter]

And Uncharted 4? ayayaye

they just fired a lot of people recently, i doubt they will show it at e3. I am sure Sony will focus on The Order instead of Uncharted 4

 

[FanFan]

Here's hoping for another PC Port of it...

 

[Corleth the Fey]

Wow, this is very exciting. Good stuff.

It'll be 30fps (possibly unlocked so it averages above 30, but never really troubling 60) though guys, don't get your hopes up. You won't be disappointed later.

 

[LiK]

Is this confirmed to be real?

of course not

Spoiler

it's real

 

[Krusenstern]

I know all of that, It just annoys me that we got a phoned in sequel made by a B-team while they were working on something that is obviously going to be better and not even available on PC.

That new Project was more important to them apparently. That's the shit we both have to deal with.

Has Demons Souls come to PC? Time to save up for a PS4 then.

 

[Shinta]

Uncharted 4

Spoiler

project leads have jumped ship

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Dark Souls is a game I bought on Steam and couldn't get acclimated with how clunky it controlled and quickly lost me. I did play a decent chunk of it with some help from a friend. I also never beat Demons Souls but I do recall being more taken by that than DS1. DS2 doesn't interest me in the slightest at full price unfortunately and I really think it needs an overhaul.

That's why this looks potentially exciting.



Maybe it's that it looks slightly more open and certain scenes like the ones with the mobs and their torches hit me the right way.

That doesn't sound like a well-founded criticism. You couldn't get acclimated, millions of other players have. So is the game to blame?

I also don't know where you're getting that this game might be more open. Are you sure you've spend enough time playing Souls games to make these evaluations?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Here's hoping for another PC Port of it...

Not happening, most likely.

 

[LouisaFerre]

im not saying you cant be upset the game is exclusive to a platform you might not own
what i'm saying is its ridiculous when stuff like this happens and people react in ways like "fuck from, how could they do this"
they're just a developer, they go wherever the publisher money is so they can keep working. sony hired them to do a job, so they're doing it

Ah okay. I understand that then.

Nobody should like games being exclusive to particular platforms. I don't. However, because consoles are owned by companies that also develop software, sometimes games will be exclusive to one console. There's literally no way to change this, so outrage and claims about "i won't support this or that!" are 100% pointless. Save your outrage for games that would have been multiplatform being locked up on a single platform, to nobody's benefit except the platform holder. Those detract from the industry instead of adding to it. If the game is co-funded or co-developed by a platform holder, you have to just suck it up.

I know the expectation of it coming to a different platform is unreasonable. I was just saying that such a thing doesn't make it wrong for him to be upset. He's not entitled to being catered to, but if he or anyone else chooses not to buy the game because they don't want to buy a PS4 or anything, that's a perfectly valid decision.

A few people leaving the company means they "just fired a lot of people recently."

Such madness you find on the Internet.

 

[Jackben]

Yep, I'm done with FromSoft.

Release a shitty DaS sequel with barely any of the original team so that they can make an exclusive for a bloody console.

Fuck this shit.

3 people is not a lot

Dark Souls 2 has areas as open as what is show in those screens... and i'm not even a fan of 2 that much.

 

[Krusenstern]

Here's hoping for another PC Port of it...

A game created in collaboration with Sony's first party studio will stay exclusive. I can bet on that.

 

[TheFNEffecT]

I want it, I need it, I want it.....I...I....should really play more Dark Souls II what the hell am I doing haha.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Oh man starting to get really excited about E3 thanks to this.
Only 5 weeks to go !

Did you play DS1 with a gamepad or keyboard?

 

[TyrantII]

I'm not exactly as upset as he is(I think Dark Souls 2 has been alright so far), but I don't like having a game I want being exclusive to a console. Yes, it is understandable why they would do that, and From/Sony can do whatever the hell they want. However, that doesn't mean I'm in any way obligated to like or support that

Spoiler

Although I probably will anyway since Demon's Souls is my 2nd favorite ARPG.

• Without Sony, there would be NO Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2. They funded FS development of Demons Souls, which went on to be such a success it spawned two larger scope games independently financed by NB.
• Very good chance this game was never getting made without Sony funding. Thats how FS work, they shop ideas to investors that will finance their games and publish it.

People paying to get games made that otherwise wouldn't are good things. MS doing so for DR3 and Titanfall is good for gamers. Sony doing that for DeS or Deep Down likewise. If you directly fund a games development, you should have considerable equity in it.

Whats NOT kosher is people paying to keep games with multi-system plans out of others hands such as lifetime or year+ exclusivity. Moneybombs to block out large % of gamers is not cool.

 

[HeelPower]

I know all of that, It just annoys me that we got a phoned in sequel made by a B-team while they were working on something that is obviously going to be better and not even available on PC.

Tons of effort went into Dark Souls 2 and its avery competent game.

Let's not insult it for no reason.

 

[swazzyswess]

Maybe it's that it looks slightly more open and certain scenes like the ones with the mobs and their torches hit me the right way.

Uh.. so how much have you played of the Souls games, again? Every game in the series has areas just as open, if not more so, than the few pics we've seen of this game that you've somehow decided looks better than the hundreds of hours of content that came before it.

 

[Fried Food]

Holy crap DemonNite has been teasing this a lot.

Thats beautiful

 

[Cornbread78]

What would happen if this and The Last Guardian are annouced at E3?

505 error

Spoiler

GAF would be down

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Perfect

 

[ShogunDarius]

Hm, let me refer to this handbook I have next to me titled 'Square Enix guide to handling pressuring questions and tips on how to style your life'.

Options for answers:

'Please understand.'

'Please be excited.'

'We'll have something to show soon.'

I'm not really finding the most relevant response here. Maybe when I get version 2.0 I'll be able to answer with some sincerity.

 

[SniperHunter]

3 people is not a lot

lol those few were key people though. The game will undergo a vision change now under the new director. I think Sony might decide to show The Last of Us Remastered instead

 

[Americanmushroom]

Looks real but I'll try and ignore it. Too much excitement is not good for my heart

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Here's hoping for another PC Port of it...

So hows that Demons Souls PC port coming along.....

 

[RealityPales]

The Order 1886?

I still think that's next year... Nobody seems to agree with me admittedly.

 

[Gorillaz]

I like the way seath moves

 

[Kaswa101]

This + TLG + UC4 = Sony wins E3.

Bring in Entwined, Bloodbourne and Kill Strain as well and GAF will crash for a good week or two lol. Looking forward to seeing this announced, and E3 in general. Hurry up already!

 

[HeelPower]

So how far along is the development going for this game ?Can someone even remotely hint at this ?

Let's hope this doesn't turn into a Versus/TLG situation.

 

[Benslammin]

Whats with the massive sony bias, if it's not Demons 2 it's not going to be an exclusive.

Why now would they make an exclusive when they got so much cash off the Dark Souls series being multi-plat?

Don't you folks want to see it come to xbox and pc too? I mean PC version will always be superior anyways if it's like all the ps4 games out so far and won't reach 60fps. 60fps in Dark Souls 2 makes it absolutely incredible.

 

[StuBurns]

I know all of that, It just annoys me that we got a phoned in sequel made by a B-team while they were working on something that is obviously going to be better and not even available on PC.

Terrible logic.

So you're saying, you'd rather From had never put Dark Souls on PC because they're not putting this on it?

Whats with the massive sony bias, if it's not Demons 2 it's not going to be an exclusive.

You're wrong, it's not going to be Demon's Souls 2, and it is going to be exclusive.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Only completing around 1/3 of the first and half of the DS1. I don't need to quantify my disdain and dislike. It was simply not for me and lost me but I did enjoy more of Demons Souls than DS1.

Did you play DS1 with a gamepad or keyboard?

Game pad

Uh.. so how much have you played of the Souls games, again? Every game in the series has areas just as open, if not more so, than the few pics we've seen of this game that you've somehow decided looks better than the hundreds of hours of content that came before it.

I talked to a friend and thought if had more of a Skyrim thing going on then I think the series could really take off. I don't mean it needs to be 1:1 with ES games but the series can go much further.

Look at my post history, I recently said that the series just didn't so much for me and following the developments on DS2 I really think FROM needs to start evolving the series more as the amount of cred the game has built has not translated to the evolution that one should expect.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Port begging is a bad look, bro.

 

[-MD-]

Came in the form of Dark Souls 1/2

Since ya know, they're all the same game.

 

[Shinta]

This + TLG + UC4 = Sony wins E3.

We'll see. Nintendo is probably showing Zelda, and who knows what else.

The Souls series has never actually had a great trailer. And I don't like Uncharted at all. I think Tomb Raider 2 will look far better than Uncharted 4.

 

[John Rabbit]

for fuck's sake From would you make something else for a change?

 

[RPGamer92]

So how far along is the development going for this game ?Can someone even remotely hint at this ?

Let's hope this doesn't turn into a Versus/TLG situation.

Seeing as how Miyazaki's team has probably been working on this since late 2011, it would probably be fair to expect this in Fall 2015 or so imo.

 

[SniperHunter]

this is one of the coolest gifs I have ever seen ^_^

 

[-tetsuo-]

What makes these screenshots more compelling than the previous 3 Souls games?

It is only on PS4, therefore it is obviously better than other things.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I can see why another company decided to buy out From Software. Evidently, they will not become a one franchise wonder.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

It looks better than this DS rip-off.

You do realize that Sony Japan studio is working on the game?

 

[komplanen]

Port begging is not a very good way for a junior to contribute to threads (

Spoiler

It's bannable

) and also a waste of anyone's breath since this game is supposedly a Sony Japan Studio production.

Anyhooo I sure hope this game gets shown on E3 or whoever leaked this gets an evil eye from me. I can't wait!

 

[Orthogonal]

Shotguns in my Souls. Wait what?

Dark Souls: Advanced Warfare

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I'm getting a Pirates of the Caribbean vibe from some of those shots.

This game is being made with Japan Studio, one of Sony's first party studios.
And just like Demon's Souls was created together with Japan Studio and ended up being exclusive, Project Beast will be exclusive too.

No Sony bias.
