[StoopKid]

This is still a rumor and nothing is confirmed.

It's basically confirmed at this point.

 

[Persona7]

Were Demon's Souls, Dark Souls or Dark Souls II, 60fps on consoles?

Dark Souls 2 does hit 60FPS but drops a lot when there is a lot going on.

 

[Freeman]

And yet we will hear no end to the whining if this game goes for effects @ 30fps over 60 fps. :/

Some people can't ever be pleased.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Man my hype lvls for e3 are getting up there. Love me some souls. Pls sony show us something sooner.

 

[Bunta]

Don't want to be banned, but what is the port begging equal ban in title refer to?

Posts such as, "This needs to come to PC!" etc. flooded the thread earlier.

 

[Gorillaz]

Breast Moles

I typed this up quick on my phone at work

Fucking auto correct man

 

[Ratrat]

Wat. U1 and U2 were developed by the same team.

Personally I think the "B team" labeling is bullshit. You could have the best team on the planet and still end up with a poor game for various reasons (like a tight deadline).

Ah right. It should have been U3 and 4.

 

[Bloodrage]

The saltiest response to this I've seen yet:



yeeeeesh.

As for me, more fake-ass pics please.

Lost it at "and maybe PS4 too." Sounds like dude's having a mental breakdown.

 

[MatrixGravity]

Really hope this is a next-gen exclusive!! I really want to see what FROM is capable of with this new hardware at their disposal.

 

[JasonUresti]

Cool stuff. From did their best work in collaboration with Sony Japan Studio so I'm excited to see them working together once more.

Hopefully this isn't just the Souls formula in a fantasy world a couple centuries later on than Demon/Dark Souls. That would be fun, no doubt, but I'd like to see them shake it up.

Also, this looks like what a great Solomon Kane game could be with some talent behind it.

 

[TheSonofBM]

I guess it could be inferred that if the only outlet regurgitating the rumor is a non gaming-centric place like Forbes, that it speaks volumes as to the silence coming from outlets that would undoubtedly know something a bit more like Giantbomb, Kotaku, Polygon, Eurogamer, etc... They wouldn't want to bite the hand that feeds them and risk getting less info slung their way.

Contrast the silence regarding this rumor (that I'm sure is real) with the news stories these same sites ran re: the Fallout 4 ARG that turned out to be fake. It was a rumor but they still ran with it. This? Crickets. I'd say that's even more damning.

I bet these sites are chomping at the bit to post even the tiniest morsel and rake in those hits but can't because of embargoes.

To be fair to Giantbomb, they usually dont run with the daily rumors unless Klepek vets it pretty well. Remember he sat on the (initial) Xbone 180 for a while before they ran it. DualShockers was all over this instantly of course.

Oh man:

OH MAN. The most elaborate hoax, ever. Not even theory conspiracies truthers can come up with this.

When Rorie asked them what they thought about the leak they all kinda kept quiet and said "Yep, yep. yep." Like they knew about it about didn't want to say anything.

 

[Lucumo]

This definitely looks like a style that I would enjoy.

Don't want to be banned, but what is the port begging equal ban in title refer to?

No idea, in the OP it doesn't state any platform and it's not confirmed anyway.

 

[demosthenes]

Don't want to be banned, but what is the port begging equal ban in title refer to?

Saying it would be better on PC or any other system.

This definitely looks like a style that I would enjoy.

Original info said Japan studio was involved. Demonite (Sony) has been hinting at this for months when you look at past posts. Other insiders have said it's real. Mods have let them say it.

 

[Proponent]

The months proior to this game's relaese- I will preorder it.


Months prior to this game's relaese- I will schedule one 40 hour work week off from work for this game's launch.


The day before this game releases- I will go to the grocery store and buy food and supplies to last me a full week.

Launch day- I pick this game up at midnight, and spend the next week locked in my home and away from the world, shades closed and curtains drawn. Cell phone off!
Taking only small breaks to eat,sleep, bio and brag on GAF, over the awesomeness.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

It's the mechanic in demon's that makes the game harder the more you die.

You heard me.

Thanks. I guess that's why things got a bit more difficult in Demon's Soul.

I'd assume they'd go with Beast's Souls or something if it's just Souls 4.

Probably a unique name if it's its own thing (DMCxSouls would be the best thing ever).

I would seriously contribute to funding this if it could happen somehow.

Don't want to be banned, but what is the port begging equal ban in title refer to?

Mostly PC port begging. Some Xbox/PC fans having mental breakdown about the rumor part claiming that this game is co-developed by Japan Studio (SCEJ).

The saltiest response to this I've seen yet:



yeeeeesh.

As for me, more fake-ass pics please.

I hope he knows that it was once stated that Miyazaki was not working on Dark Soul sequel nor was he working on a direct Demon's Soul sequel too.

 

[PirateKing]

I think if Sony announce this and a Platinum exclusive game, the Internet will explode. We're already getting Lily Bergamo so do it Sony. Oh and Plssssss Crash Bandicoot!! I'll cry when these are shown and they show us TLG at the end.

 

[Endo Punk]

Thanks a lot. Now the wait till E3 to find out if it's legit or not is going to be agony! My soul is going maaaaaaaaddd!

 

[Replicant]

No idea, in the OP it doesn't state any platform and it's not confirmed anyway.

It looks like someone doesn't read the thread title.

It's Japan Studio, aka SCEJ, so it will only come out on Sony's consoles (PS3, PSVita, PS4).

 

[F4r0_Atak]

A Platinum exclusive... I doubt it. Kamiya seems to have a bad record with SCE from what I read. And oh... I really hope they show TLG new build/version at E3. Wishful thinking!

Man would that suck

Why? By current-gen they are meaning PS4 only (since it "is" co-developed by Japan Studio (SCEJ)).

Sony comes to E3 next month armed with this, Platinum exclusive, new Crash Bandicoot and Trico...The world will explode!

 

[SolidSnakex]

I think you're confusing Kamiya with Mikami. And even in that case the bad blood is apparently a thing of that past.

 

[Nafai1123]

This definitely looks like a style that I would enjoy.

It does actually. The rumor is that Sony Studios Japan and From Software are working on this game together, just like they did with DeS, in which case the rumor is that it would be exclusive to the PS4. The mods included said banhammer on port begging when this thread turned into a shitfest of salty non-PS4 owners.

 

[PirateKing]

A Platinum exclusive... I doubt it. Kamiya seems to have a bad record with SCE from what I read. And oh... I really hope they show TLG new build/version at E3. Wishful thinking!

Honestly there is a bigger chance MS will get an exclusive game than Sony. Either way, hopefully they're making a PS4/Xbone/PC game next.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

That and... the X-Bots!! XD jk

 

[Jimrpg]

so should I read through 78 pages of hgggnnnnhhhh??

xbox can keep their one month early COD DLC.

 

[Madness]

Ah, thanks for clarification guys. I understand. Will keep note in the future. I can understand the sentiment, but it does tend to derail the thread somewhat if that's what everyone does. Anyways, can't wait to see how this game turns out.

Now that's dedication. Wish I still had that enthusiasm for gaming. But I do think this looks amazing.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

I think you're confusing Kamiya with Mikami. And even in that case the bad blood is apparently a thing of that past.

Nope, I just did my research and it turns out that both could be applied to this bad rep/experience with SCE. Also, I was refering Kamiya to PlatinumGames (Bayonetta 2nd hand port on release) and Mikami to his new studio.

 

[Otnopolit]

Don't want to be banned, but what is the port begging equal ban in title refer to?

Quite literally begging for a PC/Xbone/Anything port via whining.

 

[nailbombxx]

Why? By current-gen they are meaning PS4 only (since it "is" co-developed by Japan Studio (SCEJ)).

Disregard me I was a moron for still associating current gen with PS3 and 360 lol

 

[Endo Punk]

I think you're confusing Kamiya with Mikami. And even in that case the bad blood is apparently a thing of that past.

I don't know, Kamiya went an entire gen without making a game on a Sony platform. He didn't touch PS3 version of Bayo which was a SEGA port. And if the rumors are true of a XBI exclusive it looks like he will go another gen without making a game on PlayStation. At least Mikami worked on Vanquish on PS3.

 

[TheSonofBM]

When Rorie asked them what they thought about the leak they all kinda kept quiet and said "Yep, yep. yep." Like they knew about it about didn't want to say anything.

When was that? I must have missed it.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Don't worry mate! A lot of people still do it. They might not have the money or reasons to own one (either PS4 or Xbox One). Therefore, the reason why they might associate PS3 and 360 to the on-going current gen "stigma".

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Really? What did SCE do to Kamiya for there to be bad blood. Wonder if shit was eaten.

 

[FairXchange]

I know that there will be other big announcements for both Sony and MS at E3, but this is pretty much the biggest from my world view. Dark Souls is my favourite series of all last gen, and From Software has been my most well loved devs for that reason. A next gen Souls game? I mean, that's as good as it's gonna get for me. Blown away that we got it this early.

 

[Leona Lewis]

I don't know, Kamiya went an entire gen without making a game on a Sony platform. He didn't touch PS3 version of Bayo which was a SEGA port. And if the rumors are true of a XBI exclusive it looks like he will go another gen without making a game on PlayStation. At least Mikami worked on Vanquish on PS3.

Yeah, I fear for the mods' sanity when Project Nagano is revealed :-X

It would be hilarious if it turned out to be Bayonetta 3.

 

[Wolff]

Fuck, this is awesome. Man i got to be true and hopefully it get revealed at E3. My soul is ready.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

I wonder how many more game will Kamiya do for Nintendo? And how will turn out his/its crew's Xbox One project?

 

[shacklesmcgee]

I dunno u guyz, the graphix don't look too good for a ps4 gaim.




The lighting is terribul

 

[Ran Ran]

Since we have upgraded to guns in this one I'll just go ahead and suggest...

Demon Souls: Advanced Warfare

 

[illmatic22]

I'd take FROM over Platinum but that's just me.

[Jigolo]

I know the screens are shitty but judging from this particular shot the textures don't look too shabby.

 

[LowEndTorque]

GAF when Beast Souls turns out to be 30 fps

Meh. For this genre of game 30 is perfectly fine as long as it's stable.

 

[Juliet's 8½ Spirits]

I'd take FROM over Platinum but that's just me.

Please God, don't ever force me to make a decision between the two.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Really? What did SCE do to Kamiya for there to be bad blood. Wonder if shit was eaten.

No clue. But I would guess something Capcom related projects. That could explain why he has left from the bad climate at his previous studio. Maybe SCE was interfering too much in his work back when he was with Capcom. Think about it, his studio worked a long time with SCE when it came to the Devil May Cry games back in the days. Maybe Old SCE was just invasive as PS3-early days SCE. :/

Yeah, I fear for the mods' sanity when Project Nagano is revealed :-X

It would be hilarious if it turned out to be Bayonetta 3.

Or Bayonetta 2: Definitive Edition. XD

 

[SolidSnakex]

Nope, I just did my research and it turns out that both could be applied to this bad rep/experience with SCE. Also, I was refering Kamiya to PlatinumGames (Bayonetta 2nd hand port on release) and Mikami to his new studio.

Do you have a link? I've never hard of there being any bad blood between Kamiya and Sony.

I don't know, Kamiya went an entire gen without making a game on a Sony platform. He didn't touch PS3 version of Bayo which was a SEGA port. And if the rumors are true of a XBI exclusive it looks like he will go another gen without making a game on PlayStation. At least Mikami worked on Vanquish on PS3.

Well, he only made one game through all of last gen, so it's not too shocking that he didn't have hands on experience with the PS3. Plus many studios outsourced PS3 development because it was such a pain in the ass. So, I don't think that's any proof that he has something against them.
