This thread is crazy. Servers crashing during E3 is a fact.
If you're saying a Demon's Souls 2 by some no-name dev wont be advantageous then I agree but the game is being helmed by Miyazaki. Calling DeS2 or not is is still the same thing, the IP is being leveraged by the extension of the lore.
Demon's already gave hints towards Beasts with the talisman of beast and the soul of the old one called Beast's Soul. It would make sense for the game to be called Beast's Souls instead of Demon's Souls 2.
Even if it's cross platform with PS3 my hype will be at "I don't give a shit" level.
Will still play the hell out of it.
It's either the servers or this hype train.
Good, because we need this train to keep on fast rolling
But Sony has always had those same guys working this series, right? It's not like another company calling something Souls because this IP has always had the core Souls team involved in its creation. The team and the IP name go hand in hand. And as long as this team continues to be core to every DeSouls release, then it is now a gold mine IMO.

going to die again though

YES! I see Zombie Prince on board! Thanx! *happy dance* ^_^
If this game is called Demon's Souls 2, which is Sony's IP, it won't do any better than if it's anything else with Souls at the end, which is a different IP. As the IP isn't impacting sales performance, it's not a 'gold mine'. The perfect example of this is already out, there's no reason to believe Dark Souls was hurt by not being Demon's Souls 2. The IP was irrelevant, or more realistically, the value of the IP couldn't be trademarked, because it was the 'Souls' suffix.
Demon's Souls isn't a gold mine, but then neither is the team really, Dark Souls 2 sold really well, and it's not by the same team, so what is the reliable source of fan interest? The developer being FROM and the game having a Souls suffix maybe? I'm not sure, but it's not like Sony is sitting on the Demon's Souls IP out of artistic solidarity, they need FROM, and in which case, they don't need the Demon's name.
I'm certainly not suggesting other publishers attempt to make clones and use the Souls name, that would be absurd. Although I am personally very surprised we haven't seen any Souls clones so far.
Lords of the Fallen looks like one. But a bit cheese.
It's funny you mention that, I saw a gameplay video of it a few weeks ago, and thought it looked nice, and today I thought that video was Bound by Flame, so when I saw that game again today, I couldn't figure out why it looked massively worse.
Excellent.

I'm still convinced that Blame! Soul is the way to go next-gen.
Imagine : Naissancee, but with more production values than an indie game. What videogames have existed all these years for.
The sane choice.
It will be called Beast'ssss Soulsss..
SSSSsssssss.
The souls fans for the most part are well versed in gaming and know the difference and understand what makes Sony's offering and Namco's different.This thread alone shows that people know Sony are taking the Demon's IP to the next level even though it doesn't mention Souls or Demon's.
The game sells to core gamers so really it can be called whatever they want, we know the developer and we understand the meaning/significance behind the name "Beast".

Ah what the heck. Put me on the train!
That was the April 2013 gameplay reveal with IGN. No doubt on PS3 and running at 30fps.
Now here is the TGS 2013 trailer. All real-time, not CG. Here it's 1080p | 60fps. No doubt running on a PC: http://www.gamersyde.com/hqstream_dark_souls_ii_tgs_trailer-30829_en.html
It's not just the lighting, but also, the geometry detail is higher and there are far more particle effects when stone pillars are broken than the released PC version.
And here is the more recent launch trailer for the final PC version of Dark Souls II: http://www.gamespot.com/videos/dark-souls-ii-pc-launch-trailer/2300-6418503/
Damn, there has to be a TON of different builds of Dark Souls II in From Software's office, in various states of development with different lighting models, levels of detail, framerates, across the 3 different platforms (PC, PS3, 360).
Anyway, with DSII, what's done is done. Bring on the BEAST.
The lighting in that video looks awful. Orange and black, bloom all day! No thanks.
Requesting again to board the hype train.

It's a strange situation for the IP to be in.
Personally, I would like to see it be treated as a new IP, but lumped together with Demon's Souls and Soul Sacrifice as Sony's 'Dark Horror Fantasy' metaverse.

I think my face is somewhere on that train..
Basically what it means is the font exists far before those two games.
...im aware of that lol
what the hell are you trying to point out here?
all i did was say it looks like they used that font when they made the dark souls logo

This won't be on PS3. Sony is not that stupid. Right now they need software to sell PS4s, and this would go down very well with the small but vocal core audience.

The "O" does look like the one from Shadow Tower.

Pretty sure most people pronounce Demon's Souls to sound like "Demon Souls", even though it's Demon's, because it's easier to say and still does sound like Demon's Souls
John Harker
Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
The article isn't that accurate... Shadow Tower WAS released in the US.
And it was awesome.
Shadow Tower Abyss wasn't though.

Nice edit John Harker 
Some of you guys are looking way too much into these fonts, it's just fonts FROM Software are fond off and use.
On the subject of fonts, I hope they go with a more unique and 'customized' title like with Demon's instead of Dark:
Gouty
Bloodborne is shit
We're discussing the fonts. Much depth.
Thats crazy.

Shadow Tower yes, Abyss don't think so.
Edit : what you said
How so ?
Half of those pages come from requests to get added to the hype train pic.
Seriously. More views than the Titanfall OT? That's ridiculous. Hype.
