Unlike PC gamers, who never appear to be trying to justify their expensive purchase, am I right?

Been into any PC exclusive game threads lately?

Okay there is nothing that suggests such. But Verendus and DemonNite were implying/mentioning it's an exlusive title.
It doesn't seem that far stretched either to assume that Sony will co-develop when the first game was co-developed too.
To be fair, there were rumors that FFXV were being developed with the help of Japan Studios (IIRC) and we all know how that ended. But then again the Souls series has the precedent of already having a title codeveloped by a Sony Studio while Final Fantasy doesnt, so who knows.
I'm pretty sure I didn't mention cool at all.
And while I would expect a Zelda U to outsell Beast Souls, I don't think that's really related to what I said at all. The 'majority' don't pay attention to E3.
But this is off topic, if you wish to make a 'who will win E3 thread', I will happily post in it.

I am not ashamed of wanting a hype new game for one of my favorite franchises ever on PC. I played Dark 1 and Dark 2 on PC, and I am pretty much exclusively a PC gamer and didn't really want to buy a next-gen console until maybe a bit more than a year after coming out.
Also yeah everyone is getting angry and quoting me, sorry I didn't know it was apparently being assisted by SCE again like they did for Demons. I missed that somewhere during the hype. Sorry about that.
It's just kind of sad to see Fromsoft turn their back on the PC gaming community when they finally started tuning an ear to us for once, which most Japanese developers never do. They even developed Dark Souls 2 for the PC in mind first.
llollllllll i didn't even think about this

This is not about what anyone wants. Why do you get that impression?
Of course we'd all love to have a PC option.
The thing is, it looks like this is being co-developed by Sony Japan Studio. Which means Sony probably owns the IP, or at least partially owns it and are likely putting a lot of their own money into the project, if not funding it entirely.
Why get all angry about an exclusive when a platform holder partially owns the game? It's futile.
thats kinda good. For PS3 that is.
Hasn't the 360 kinda trounced the PS3 in the states? something 2/3-1 if I'm to believe it?

Because the IP is owned by Sony and if Sony didn't take the chance on the original Demon's Souls, the Souls series wouldn't even be where it is today.

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
So is it confirmed an exclusive? Isn't From a third party studio?

Not every game comes to your platform of choice. You have deal with it. I loved Halo CE on PC and I REALLY wanted to play the other Halo games on PC, but it never happened...
I didn't cry about it in every single Halo thread.
Demon's Soul was a Sony funded game, it was neglected initially by Sony, but it managed to take off without their support. Realizing they had made a huge mistake they set things right by funding Project Beast. It is simple...
deal with it! I wouldn't be surprised if Sony signed a trilogy agreement with From
It's still a rumour for now, but some 'insiders' have been giving us hints since last year.
PC + 3DS is the heavenly combo you see most commonly right now.
PC + PS4 will probably be the best combination going forward.

Well I don't mind port begging usually, it's good to know that people are interested, it's just misplaced.
I mean I wouldn't expect this to be on anything else seeing as it's being developed by both From Software and Sony. It's co-developed, not just funded, co-developed!

The demographic that GAF has is far more interested in a Soul's game than CoD.
That and it's not like it's shocking CoD got announced.
Having another exclusive Soul's game? Now that's a bomba.
Nobody cares about Link. This isn't Middle Earth. Shut up Shinta.
This is my most productive post of the day. I feel like I contributed now.

Because the screens were reportedly taken during a web stream and sometimes cursors get in the way of those. :/
Oh come on, how about we just stop.

Yes?
Screen caps from a video...

Yes, they're third party. Which means that they're free to take offers to develop exclusives for consoles. They developed Demon's Souls exclusively for the PS3. They also developed Ninja Blade exclusively for the 360.

It's a capture from a PC of a stream of the trailer, that's why you see a cursor.

Almost as if the video file these images were captured from was played on some kind of personal computing device...

Not that crazy. The less likely one is Agent but Rockstar needs to announce something. They never go one year without releasing a game, its strange enough that they didn't announce something already for 2014 as well as something for 2015.

Because they are captures of a video and not of the game.
We're at 53 pages folks, we've been through this.

They are. But if Sony funds the game and even co-develops it, then there is no chance of a non-Playstation version.

i simply cannot view this (Project Beast) as anything more than reactionary to "whats hot with the kids right now". they revitalized an increasingly formulaic genre (action RPGs) with a lot of new ideas (asynchronous MP) and some old ones that fell out of favor (roguelikes) and have essentially created their own market in which they are the top provider. i just don't want to see 'Souls' style games become the next Dynasty Warriors in which every release is marginally iterative on the last one, and people just keep buying them "because it's hard and there's fucked up enemies and stuff".
i realize that i'm being exceedingly hyperbolic AND reductive here. i'd just like to see a little more innovation and novelty in their games going forward. just stop basing everything off the same core template of "shit's dark, everything hates you, and it looks vaguely like medieval Europe".

Screw Sony defense force, I'm pretty sure so many of us want this on PC as well. Hope they deliver eventually.
Im just guessing here, but its probably a screen grab of a video being played on a pc, not direct feed.

this looks quite good, but i'm curious about what type of game it is
first impressions make me think this is just the same type of game like Dark Souls, only with different graphics and guns

No its because they expect a Sony funded game/developed with FROM to come to PC.
It would be nice if you actually made one concrete prediction about E3 for something we didn't know about.

It's a capture of a streaming video. And a SONY IP.

If everyone new to the thread just read the first couple of pages, there wouldn't be any need for the remaining 50.

It is apparently being co-developed by Sony Japan, so mostly likely, yes.

Which means there's plenty of 360 owners who may end up going with PS4 due to this game. In a way, it's good that we know this kind of early, a lot of people on the fence can now make a proper decision.
Yeah, I get what you mean.
I'm interested in the trailer, so we'll see how I think about this next month.
