I can't believe there's still any debate about Beast being a Sony-funded eternal exclusive.
 
DemonNite has mostly been hinting at this game being released, not its PS4 exclusivity. But you are right, in ten days we will probably know for sure.

I don't know why people would want it to be a PS4 exclusive anyway. How does it being released on a closed system benefit the consumer?

gotta justify that PS4 purchase i guess.

Letting the developer focus all their resources on a single platform, be it PC, PS4, Xbox, etc can result in a better produced product. Multiplatform coding can lead to a jack of all trades, master of none scenario.

Look at the graphics of inFamous SS vs Watch_Dogs, for example.

Boy you ain't kidding. I can understand being excited for it, but being excited that it's an exclusive comes off as Twilight Zone levels of wackiness. What's more is that I generally see GAF as being strongly pro-consumer so when people get excited about stuff that doesn't benefit the consumer it's a bit difficult to understand.

I hear this frequently but unless you're working on an engine that is specifically built for one kind of platform (which most are not), this comes across as an excuse, not an argument. No one's going to argue that Unity can't be multiplat and make a great game across all platforms. Both of the Souls games preceding whatever this is have not had trouble across multiple platforms.

Watch Dogs suffers the cross gen curse

So yeah devs spread too thin can have a negative effect

The real reason this is exclusive is because Sony has a DIRECT hand in its development (like with Demons Souls)

Get over it and buy a PS4. Or wait for Dark Souls 3
 
There's no real consumer benefit to a game being platform exclusive, but with that said, if the game wouldn't have existed without Sony's funding, having it on one platform is better than none.
 
Uncertain what Sony did for the first game. From has shown they are quite capable of making a superior game by themselves, twice.

Dark Souls 2 is not better than anything, but regardless; Dark Souls was built on the foundation laid by Demon's Souls (and the previous work of From Software before that).

The good thing to take away from this is that From is getting funded to build a next-gen game in the series. The bad thing is that these threads are unbearable due to port begging.
 
I can't remember where I read it, but I remember reading somewhere that Project Beast was going to be somewhat Castlevania inspired.

I can definitely see it in the GIFs, though, I always thought the Souls series felt a lot like it was inspired by Castlevania.
 
I don't get port begging for this. This is the kind of game you buy a console for, guys, not the kind of game you feel sorry you don't have the console.

A developer focusing all of their resources on a single target can result in a more polished product which is a benefit to the consumer buying the game.
 
Jesus christ, people need to learn the difference between moneyhatting and funding.

Yeah, one is reserved for Sony the other for MS ( ≖‿≖) heh heh.

Also closed platforms for laif. Less cheaters please ;_;

That looks amazing, I hope by some miracle it's a 2014 title.

I sure don't. Sounds like it'd be rushed and asset-rehash filled. Unless they have multiple large Souls teams or something.
 
Why is this exclusive, No consumer benefit, Its probably timed. Bla, Bla, Bla, Subtle port begging at its finest.

If some people put as much effort into saving some cash as they do moaning about platforms they'd be able to afford the systems certain games are on. Instead of shitting up threads constantly.

this. seriously. people are refusing to look at the situation in a rational manner and are just upset its not coming to their platform of preference, as if Sony paid FROM to cancel the XB1 and PC versions they were making.

that's not what happened/is happening here at all.

Verendus said it over a year ago, a "Demons Souls 2" type game is on the way. Demonite has flashed the NAME right in front of our faces for a year now. Then said it would be a spin-off/successor. This was rumored to be at TGS last year. and then the PS4 Spike TV launch special, and it got pulled out last minute then too.

Sony isn't cheating you people out of anything. ANYTHING. They're funding/assisting a great game for everyone to enjoy, people should be thanking them for assisting FROM with a game that wouldn't be made otherwise.

Lol, what? When you have Dark Souls as a multiplatform game you have to expect this game being port begged. It's basically the same franchise with a different name (and a few things).

How many platforms is Demon's Souls on? And didn't a Dark Souls game just come out? Dark Souls 3 will most likely be multiplatform, so if you don't have a PS4 just wait for that brah.

I hope you can still pick classes and stuff! Either way looks awesome. I am beyond anxious to see more. I personally hope it is exclusive as I already own a PS4 and would like to see a title that will maximize it's potential on a single platform.
 
Might be the game that finally convinces me to get a PS4. I've been waiting with my PC for more exclusives.

And 30 fps will be fine if it actually is 30, not dropping below often.

Because I'm tired of this being used as an excuse to actually engage in a discussion, I own both the PS4 and PS3. I even own a JP360 (just to play Senko no Ronde DUO) and considered buying a JPPS3 just to play Demon's Souls early. This doesn't excuse the problem. God people would lose their shit if this was a PS4 exclusive to Japan and would be using these same arguments to justify why it shouldn't be a PS4 exclusive in Japan.
 
So are people thinking this is a Demon's Souls sequel, or a spin-off? If it is a spin-off, is Sony just going to sit on the Demon's Souls name?

I know what you're saying but the Xbox/PC crowd got a taste of what Demon Souls is all about with Dark Souls. Of course they will port beg, that's what I'm saying.


EDIT: Holy shit DemonNite! God damn! Nice video.
