I cant believe how big this series has gotten. Sony should sign up with these guys. Make a trilogy perhaps

Ain't that the truth; putting my shit on Craigslist as I type now. Was waiting on TLG PS4 but since that's not happening at this year's E3, there's really no point.

I think guns in a Souls-style game could be a huge breath of fresh air, but even so I don't think it's that crazy a leap either. The Souls games are already dripping with gothic style, flintlock/other early firearms fit perfectly. The lock on targeting already present in Souls would work just fine for some slow, high damage, slow loading pistols so non-magic users could output some mid-range damage.
I hope we get intricately engraved carriage guns and stuff like that, it could be seriously gorgeous.
Its unconfirmed yet real nature adds to the excitement. An announcement is an announcement, but a leak can be anything! It could even be am announcement!
Also, I would gladly pay someone Tuesday to add me to the train today
Or both! Follow the money.
I want a gun that shoots stakes ala Painkiller.

I've got a better idea. Why don't you just post me links to where it's been confirmed by From that Project Beast is a sequel to Demon's Souls and is a PS4 exclusive
What?
Still funny.
Read the second post and then search for DemonNite
Now do some work yourself because frankly you come of as a lazy person.
It is more freeflow to a degree
lol, because some of the people here actually know what's going on
It got leaked they wouldn't confirm anything, but is is a Souls game by From running on PS4 unless you are arguing exclusivity which I don't know about, but if you think about SCEJ then probably a good chance, especially considering XBO sales in Japan.

Again. Post me links to where it's been confirmed by From that Project Beast is a sequel to Demon's Souls and is a PS4 exclusive
Ahh you are that kind of a person. Just how it all fits in that they are working with SCEJA. That automatically makes it exclusive. Now read my edited in answer and DO some legwork yourself,

All of this reminds me that I have to beat Dark Souls 2... Something about that game; I just can't get into it like I feel I should. Picking a build, even just for PVE, has been a complete nightmare for me so far in that game.
I always felt Demon's Souls had the best combat. I guess Dark Souls was more or less the same to me although I found myself using shields a lot more in that one. If they do anything at all, I hope they bring back the riposte from Demon's / Dark Souls 1. Absolutely loathe the parry -> wait 2 seconds -> riposte mechanic in Dark Souls 2.

I gave up on Dark Souls 1...Got to the ice caverns and said fuck it. I disliked the concept of humanity in Dark, the covenants, the organic adventuring (confusing as hella fuck), lack of nexus and even less lore than Demon's. Which is the reason why I skipped DS 2. And Demon's is one of my favorite games of all time.

This whole thread is based on a rumor. Follow some links to a different thread. I'll give you a head start. www.neogaf.com
Acting like we can't get excited about rumors... what site are we on, again?
So what your saying is that any outlet not posting these images had already signed preview papers for this game?
Well, do tell
Winter John

No. I asked a simple question of another poster who called a poster silly because they questioned the screenshots. I asked when it had been confirmed. You decided to jump in. So, I've asked you once, I'll ask you again. Post me links to where it's been confirmed by From that Project Beast is a sequel to Demon's Souls and is a PS4 exclusive. Let's see if you can do it without the veiled insult.

I agree, three games in and the only big change has been pyromancy becoming it's own thing. Don't fix what isn't broken, I guess, but playing Dark Souls II is making me think that the series is in fact broken.

I was always a big fan of the Nexus from the original Demon's Souls.. so the open world aspect of Dark Souls was a bit of a turn off for me, although I grew to like some aspects of it. I didn't mind humanity too much but I missed the world tendency aspects from Demon's. I'm not sure if that was really a popular mechanic or not, but I loved it. Didn't care for the covenants in Dark Souls, but it also didn't really matter to me. If you felt like it, you had more you could do, I guess.
I was big on dex builds in Demon's / Dark Souls, and haven't really been able to make it work for me (PVE-wise) in Dark Souls 2. Seems like it's way easier to just go STR and slam things blindly
...in what regard? PVP is pretty bad, but what would you say was / is broken in Dark Souls 2?
So much salt in one post, nearly too much.
This is a 5000+ post thread of people wishing to finally have a game to play on their PS4. That's the summary. There is no confirmation.
From is doing who knows what, and the management at SCE is probably snorting coke somewhere in an alley.

I can do without the snark thanks. Being excited about rumours is one thing. Acting as if they're set in stone and calling others silly for not believing them is quite another
I say they drop target locking and add an over the shoulder camera mode.

I genuinely hope it all turns out to be true

High faith and 50 attunement (for extra slots and casts per spell) equals lightning show for the win. Faith is crazy strong in PVE even in NG++....etc...

Correct. Outside of The Witness (a game which has no release date), I have no real reason to purchase a PS4. This would do it.
So caster stuff.... again..................?
Even more salt, how's that even possible... there will be no more salt left in the world if this guy continues. Hilarious, lol!
My hasty purchase may yet be rationalized

You're the man Verendus!
Or that many peasants were still using 50 posts per page.
Heh, if I wanted to insult you I would do it straight away. And I called you lazy, isn't that enough?
Anyway you're asking us to boil down information that has been hinted at since last year. Information spread out throughout this thread that is 5k+ in responses. A few insiders chimed in. Everything is pointing at it so many came to that conclusion.
So again, if you want it served to you on a plate...well this isn't a restaurant. Make your own food.

You were called silly because you came in and basically said: who cares?
The fact that this thread (about a rumor for a spiritual successor to one the more popular current game franchises) hit 100 pages overnight (based solely on low quality screens and a few lines of text) would indicate that a lot of people care. Your first post was silly, and you deserve all the snark you get.
Not everyone needs 100% confirmation to get excited for something. If you do, then feel free to be unimpressed. Just stop acting like the rest of us are idiots, please.
Edit: And Verendus is joking, people. He isn't salty, he's being facetious.

Yeah, me too. Something about imagining SCE execs doing drugs in an alley is just so funny.

Lol@ ppl falling for the verendus troll.
Yes, I agree. I'm more in favor of them coming up with a new visual aesthetic, instead of doing a variation of the medieval fantasy tone from the previous souls titles.

I'm hoping it becomes more accessible without offending purists too much.
I didn't dig any of the Souls because they were just too brutal and unintuitive. They were made for a very specific type of player, that I obviously don't identify with. They look amazing and I'd love to jump in, but I just need them to come half way for me I guess.
That sounds bad doesn't it?

Please be real! It blows my mind with the difference in the amount of hype From gets now compared to the King's Field days.

It does sound bad.. because that's what makes them Souls games.
You should seriously take a look at the Jeff Green plays Dark Souls 2 thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=808105
I do not agree that they were made with a specific player in mind. There are all sorts of different approaches and play styles that can be had in the series; some better than others, but countless viable ones. What exactly is unintuitive about it? I frequently state that Demon's Souls and Dark Souls have by far the best combat system of any game I have ever played.
