The Tower of Latria is still one of my favorite levels from the last generation of consoles, probably ever. It just had such amazing atmosphere, the ringing from the squid faces bells was also a really nice touch, and of course The very final boss of that world was also a great moment in gaming.
 
This looks nothing like Shadow Tower Abyss, which were first person dungeon crawler type games. Why do you think they would make a sequel to that, when the Souls games are so hot right now?

Why wouldn't they? If they have enough people for two teams now, why not bring back an older series? Ain't no problem going from 1st person to 3rd person.

Shadow Tower is also pretty much contemporary King's Field/Souls and these screens could as well be in that setting.

Holy hell it's still going then.
Not sure what's more amazing

This thread or the news.

Anyway time for the wall of hypyist posters.

Biggest phone screen ever.

Putting "Souls" anywhere in the title and stressing a relation to the two Souls series is instant sales. The fanbase for the Souls series is frickin rabid.

Call me crazy but I have a feeling they might try and make it different from the other Souls games and the best way to do that would be to ditch the Souls name and the whole Souls mechanic.


Then again those screens scream souls so if it looks like a souls game and plays like a souls game then yeah, call it Beast's Soul's and call it a day.

Would be pretty nutty for FROM to make 3 completely new IP's that are all basically the exact same.

I definitely think it will be a different style of gameplay and mechanics. The things like fog gate might still be seen but I seriously think it's a spiritual sequal/reboot into something new
 
That was true of DICE last year.

It made a lot of sense for DICE to go 60 fps because:

1. their direct competitor, which is also more popular, runs at 60fps and uses that as a bulletpoint
2. they are tech wizards who can make games at 60 fps while still being visually very appealing. You can't say the same about From software.
3. Battlefield 4 is an online multiplayer shooter, not a slow based action game.
4. Battlefield 4 was a cross-gen game
 
So if no site is reporting this, this might be a fake or people have already seen this and currently have an NDA?
I just can't see this being a fake at this point. Too many things adding up. Insider hints, familiar visual aspects that look to be a higher quality, the tendency of From to reveal current projects with the title 'Project (xxxxxxx)'. But maybe that's just my excitement and hope rationalizing.
 
Most likely the later

I hate NDA's

I too think this is real but I find it really odd that no one wants to report it as a rumor even if they've already seen it.
It's weird how NDA's work.
 
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..
This is stupid. I passed on this because it's a bunch of vague images from 4chan that may or may not be real. If we knew something about it, we would do our best to say so. We don't make a habit of hiding things from our readers.

I also posted that the Fallout 4 ARG was fake, and then showed you casting documents from the real Fallout 4.

So, no, I know nothing about this, and I'm not inclined to trust anything that comes from 4chan without corroborating it somehow.

Yep, people don't realize that integrity also means not posting anything that pops up online.

Ah cool, thanks for clarifying your stance. I guess 4Chan being the source sort of sours ones inclination of reporting the story.

this makes me sad. there's hardly anything vague about this, we've had several people hint to this including a Sony employee, this is wayyy too solid to label it as "vague" :(
 
Just bought Demon's Souls. Time to see what I've been missing. Going from Dark Souls to Dark Souls 2 was pretty jarring in many ways, so this should be an interesting experience.

I want this to be true, but Gaf should know all to well by now that nothing is solid until there is an official announcement. There are just to many factors involved to take random leaks as fact.
