This E3 Sony will f*ck up Microsoft very hard.

Beast Souls
The Last Guardian

Megaton dream: Shenmue 3

PS4 come to daddy.
 
whats the consensus for people that started with DaS, ive played a shitload of Dark, but still havent tried Demon's cause of tired of ps3 and other stuff to do/play , I need to play it sometime regardless anyways.
 
Like many others on this thread I'm cautiously sceptical about this, especially because it reminds me of the CG intro to DkS II, and this could just be an intro to a DLC.

fits too good together, to be a fake/different game.

I mean DemonNite was basically throwing hints right at our faces, of which he knew would only make sense once the game's working title is revealed.

That's why competition is good! :p

I hope all three platform holders show great new games.Imagine if Nintendo also shows the new Zelda,and new trailers from X and Bayonetta 2...E3 of the forever.

With all the hardware out now, its all about games and these are some of the best E3 events for me. Everyone has to impress with games.
 
There is only so many times you can spin-off a spin-off. I hope this is Demon's Souls 2, instead of something else that fractures the series further. My own opinions of course!

I wouldn't want this to be called Demon's Souls 2, but I think Sony should try to build a metaverse of a Souls franchise of their own.

Soul Sacrifice, Demon's Souls, and whatever this game is could easily be part of the same stylistic universe.
 
I have to agree. I'm longing for that Tower of Latria feel again.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Played through DS1 and now working my way through DS2. Great games, but nothing in DS1 or 2 has come close yet to that level in Demon's Souls.

The atmosphere in Demon's is so different, so much more dreadful and horror-like. Praise the sun REALLY meant something in that game.

Why stop there? Why not add time exclusivity for HL3 and new Red Dead?

In reality, looking at that list, at this E3 we will MAYBE get Beast Souls. Maybe.
 
Still struggling to believe this. How the fuck did Sony pull this off? Where will the Soul's series go from here?

Like Sony and Demon's Souls From Software can always make an spiritual series of that game for multiplatforms. There is not much to worry about. This might be exclusive but if Sony doesnt pursue them for another game they might as well pull a Dark Souls with Project Beast. Give a "Spiritual Sequel" that pretty much does the same things with some changes to make differences.

So many people want a direct sequel. I wonder how long Sony can sit on the Demon's Souls name before it becomes old. Whatever this ends up being, it looks damn cool and is pretty much trademark From/Souls.

I would love to see the SS series really take off because I think the whole world looks so amazing.
 

Dark Souls 2 was good, but let's be honest, it was not on the level of Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. The reason for this is simple, Dark 2 was missing heart. That absent heart left when the lead designer moved on to work on this game (fingers crossed), hence Souls fans are going ape shit over the prospect of a next gen Souls game formulated by the originator of the series.

P's. I'm one of those losing it at the moment. If I could pre-order this game. I'd pre-order it twice so I could slide a copy down my pants and gently massage my nuts and the game simultaneously.

As someone pointed out, the atmosphere is more moody, but the biggest differences were in online play which you probably won't be able to enjoy now.

Personally I think Demon's is the best of the 3 games, but that's just my opinion.
 
Does anyone else thinks that it's kinda strange how the "big" gaming sites still haven't posted this rumour yet they were quite eager to post other much more vague rumours for other games in the past...?

I have only seen Gematsu and VG24/7 posting it.

Probably because there hasn't really been any confirmation on their end.

Another quote I like from Miyazaki that probably explains the nature of his position a lot better.
I’m just an employee of the development company, so I can’t directly answer whether there’ll be a sequel to Demon’s Souls. With that said, my personal opinion is that we learned a lot during the development of Demon’s Souls, and there were a lot of things that we couldn’t do the first time, so I’d welcome the chance to create an even better game in the same style if the opportunity arises.

Again, a quote like that gives off the impression that he's probably more interested in creating original worlds rather than furthering one he feels is "complete."

I don't think mainstream sites want to say "4chan" in an article.

I quite liked Stonefang too, descending into a maze of tunnels not knowing if I'd remember how to get out, then finding that lake of lava at the bottom. The levels in DeS were more "tall" and intricately designed, whereas DS1 levels individually were less so, but more intricately entwined, which was also pretty cool on its own of course.
 
is it namcos call anymore? didnt kadokawa just buy from software?
In my recent thread about Souls there was some confusing and conflicting information about who owns the IP rights for Dark Souls, but Namco certainly own the Western publishing rights for the first two, so it's their call for the ones so far, a Dark Souls 3 however, who knows.
 
We know for a fact that SERIES TITLE + SUBTITLE means bomba. We saw it happen this past generation a few times, people can't trust subtitles. Maybe they should just dare and go for Demon's Souls 2 - Bloodborne with the 2 so big it takes half cover.



It would make no sense to omit it. If Sony is going after From is because they saw the IP is strong and cheap enough to capitalize on.
Everything Sony has done on PS4 so far has been Series Title + Subtitle.

Killzone: Shadow Fall

InFamous: Second Son

The Order: 1886

Uncharted: ?

I'm pretty sure they're done with numbered sequels for the most part. My bet is GT will be the only major franchise to stick with it.
 
I don't think mainstream sites want to say "4chan" in an article.

But why not?news are news no matter where they come from.Sure this is still a rumour but it's already much more than that thanks to the screenshots and what Demonite was hinting over here.
It's unprofessional to not even state it as a rumour just because it comes from 4chan.
 
Probably not, Sony wouldn't refuse cert for a port of DS2, it's either going to happen or Namco don't want to do it for some reason.

Well, you may be right, but i still think is very strange that there has been no confirmation so far for a DS2 for PS4/XBO, even with all the hype that would sure have.

I still think that it may have something to do with this Beast game being a PS4 exclusive...

Professionalism isn't this media's forte, but I digress. My guess 4chan is too anonymous for them, if it's someone in GAF you could go "insider XXXX who leaked X Y and Z before" and make a big deal out o fit but "normal" people won't take you seriously if you cite a completely anonymous source.

Maybe for the PS4 but MS would surely want it grab an Exclusive for it if Sony is holding back no?

Does anyone have any insight into how, if at all, FROM being bought out by (sorry forget the Japanese company name) has an effect on this game?

Kadokawa want to strengthen their gaming arm, since they are mainly magazine, anime and manga. From has remained on its own for a while and most small companies get purchases sooner or later. What it could mean is Kadokawa throwing loads of cash at From to get bigger and make more titles...or it could just mean From carries on as normal and Kadokawa just handle the publishing stuff. They want to push oversea's and From has a reputation now.
