So do we know how long this game has been in development for even? Could it even be shown at E3 and then not be a complete crapshoot with no ETA like TLG after its leak a few years ago?
And slightly OT but I kind of hope this gets MS to show that Platinum Game they are working on at E3. Would be nice to see PG finally get theirs like FROM finally did with Souls. That studio needs a hit.

Well Miyazaki wasn't involved in Dark Souls 2 and his last game was Dark Souls. I doubt he has been sitting around doing nothing for a while. I would assume it has been in development for at least 2 years.

If it was a hunting game, the focus would mostly be on Japan. We would probably hear about it through a tease in Japanese press and then a reveal event like with Soul Sacrifice. With this, there seems plenty of smoke suggesting western press has already been briefed on the game, suggesting Sony is confident this has global appeal and will be a big deal.

Nope.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is unlikely to make an appearance. Game is not a show-able state yet, it seems.
Gamescom + TGS reveals. Plus projects that are super early stages won't make an appearance, I think.
Cancelled games. ( Already happened for Destigny.As much as we don't like it, it's a possibility that is not always for the worse. Jak PS3 was technically a cancelled game that got replaced by TLoU, for example. )

Miyazaki and main team haven't worked on anything since DkS.
So dev time of 3-4 years if it launches in 2015.
Demonite has hinted that it supposed to be revealed at last years TGS so I think its ready.

You know it would be interesting if it was to release in October-December. Just imagine the insane rush it would cause for holiday purchases lol.
Reason why I say October, is so it gets a proper showing at the 2014 TGS also, but Id imagine it would get shown off first at the E3 of course.

For some reason I think they will announce it for February/March
I really want it for this year, but you're probably right.

Yeah I think so as well. With Uncharted 4 probably pushed back to next holiday Sony have a sport open for a big early / mid 2015 game.
Also we will also probably be getting a Dark Souls 2 Next Gen port this year so they probably want to keep those apart.
Maybe Sony could have a Beasts Souls Beta in DS2HD or will they try and not cross the streams?
I am playing Shadow Tower Abyss to deal with this unprecedented level of hype. It's helping. I highly recommend it as soothing entertainment to pass the time for the long ride aboard the Ancient Hype Train Vanguard. May we could do a Let's Play, LTTP, or something like that..?
The lineage between the KF/ST/Souls series' is no secret - it is blatantly obvious, right down to some of the fonts. If you are on this train, you must give STA a go. Scratches the itch real good. It gives a nice glimpse of gun play and setting as it may manifest in some ways in Beast. Let it quench the thirst a bit, travelers. A quality train ride needs refreshments!

Best goddamned FPV game From has made ever. Seriously was a shame you folks in the West never got it.
Jesus Christ that sounds AMAZING. It makes so much sense as well. Can't contain hype!

Oh wow your right:
Dat J. Sly reference? Probably coincidence.
You just wait till someone makes the thread titles "The Last Guardian announced for PS4 Fall 2014".

Does not look like a hunting game at all. But to be fair, a hunting game with Dark Souls' controls would be perfect.

Goodness I love this game. I also feel like it could have had real success in the West, more so than prior King's Field and Shadow Tower games. Shame it never got a release. It's also a great argument against anyone who thinks gunplay would ruin the Souls formula.

Just about one more god damn month till E3! This makes it so that I'm thinking about E3 too much now.

I'd be totally down for a LTTP; I need to replay this again it's been too long. I recently bought a second import copy after I lost mine moving. Having it again feels so glorious...I really wish it was actually released in NA though.

I got all my recording equipment set up and can actually get footage up. Though will be of the JP version. Only issue is where the bloody hell did I put it in my closet...Going to be an even larger problem if its packed up in a box currently.
Nothing against you as lots of folks say this, but seriously the FPS bullshit needs to stop. Id rather have a proper game in the design aspects than something which focuses on 60FPS first. "Gamers" these days by far are focusing way too much on the wrong things that should take a backseat to gameplay & design.
When folks are having an argument about actual technical aspects that cause lower FPS sure, but in general it being the first thing that folks wish for needs to seriously fucking stop.

Anyone got links to Vaati's and ENB's take on this leak?
Also, where the hell can I buy Shadow Tower Abyss? And how do I play it when it's in japanese?

Framerate is a gameplay issue. And I see nothing wrong with hoping for a high framerate. That's something that's decided upon early in a development cycle and the game built to accommodate it. It'll ultimately depend on how well From's game engine plays with next-gen hardware. I won't be too fussed about it either way, but I hardly think wishing for good performance is looking at games 'the wrong way.'

This is it!
Totally agree.
It is no longer about hoping the game will be fun to play and what new things it will offer but whether or not it is 60FPS.
We get it, framerate is clearly important to you be is it really the defining feature of all games?

It's Miyazaki game though, I have complete faith on the game design, I know it will be great, 30 or 60, it's more of a "I hope they choose 60fps over prettier graphics" thing. And we don't really have any info to discuss right now, when we do, don't worry, we'll talk about that.
If it was a PS3 game, then I can see your point, focusing on 60fps would directly impact the game design, they can't make the exact same game magically run at twice the framerate, but as a PS4 game, they can have both.

If you dont see what the problem is then truthfully Im sorry you are part of the same crowd that is the problem. Im quite black & white like that so you will have to excuse me there.
Anyone who is familiar with From's MO generally framerate take a backseat with them over the design & gameplay aspects.

I know I'm in the minority but I actually preferred Dark Souls 1 at 30FPS locked on my PC.
Have yet to try DSII so my opinion could change, but I honestly don't care what the framerate is as long as it's 100% locked down.
Demon Soul's on the PS3 felt sluggish.
In your opinion of course.

If it's entirely funded by Sony I hope FROM can go all out with the polish of the game and really flesh it out.
This news really made my week, Ive been grinning all weekend just imagining how great the game will be. Ive only been playing Second Son, Pinball and Warframe and can't think of any other game releasing in the coming weeks that excite me but the possibility of a current gen Souls game has already redeemed my purchase.
The jig is up Sony, just show us the trailer now.

Think he said after fixing the mistake with the whole "The" titles, his favourite game on the list made by the director responsible for the 2 best games of last gen would be 2nd. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

He made 2 blatantly troll posts. I could not see anything being meant as a joke in them.
I think what happens is that some people think everyone who cares about 60fps is part of the same "30FPS IS A SLIDESHOW" team. I do care what the framerate is, I care a lot, but if Project Beast is a 20~30fps game, I'll still buy a PS4 to play it day one, I'll pre-order the game and even consider a collector's edition.
Who else's would it be? lol
So it's either Beast Something or Bloodborne then.

Fair enough. Likewise I think anyone who prefers visuals over playability is at fault for more and more developers favoring that route. I suppose we'll simply have to disagree here.
