I wasn't that interested from the screens, and I'm not much of a fan of the Souls series, but the footage looks incredible and definitely the type of game I want to play. Looking forward to seeing more.
 
Yes, the character seems more agile, or something. The flick out of his sword before the boss is a nice touch. Need to see more, though.

Yeah I thought it was wierd that he is running forward which isn't the typical mode of advancement in a Souls game. Plus taking on a large group of enemies in one go like that. Seems like this could be a more fast-paced actiony situation.

Or that it's just a trailer to show off some gameplay and if you try that at home you will die multiple times.
 
Are we certain this will be at Sony's E3 press conference? Why not Gamescom or TGS?

I think given than Demonite chose to post that E3 hype video in this thread pretty much confirms we'll see it there.
Plus it's pretty clear the game is far along enough to announce, and the trailer is already pretty much out of the bag, so there's no point in holding it back.

Some side thoughts:

I wish they'd have used fake languages (a la Ico and SotC). I think it would have added to the atmosphere.

Also, am I the only one who wants "Light Souls"? Still have that je ne sais quoi of the supernatural, but instead of it being menacing and foreboding have it be calm an enlightening. Have it capture the same essence of a Studio Ghibli film.
 
It's a really good time to be a Souls fan,and i feel that the community only has themselves to thank for what we're getting now. If it wasn't for the incredibly positive word of mouth from those people who first imported the Asian version of Demon's Souls none of this would have happened today.

Gamescom usually showcases Sony's European studios and xDev collaborations (with a few SCEA reveals as well)

Revealing a Souls game at TGS is like farting in the wind, consoles are all but dead there and the Souls series is much more beloved in territories outside of Japan.

I hope for a 2014 release, but I wouldn't really mind a 2015 release.

How long has Hidetaka Miayazaki been working on his *secret* project?

I would assume since Dark Souls 1, since we now know that a separate team not composed of the Demon/Dark Souls From team developed Dark Souls 2
 
You're calling "The Order" crap without having played it and without having seen that much of gameplay

Goes back to the age old argument that if you are hyped for a game that's good but if you're not that means you haven't played it. Lets stop with that crap. the Order doesn't deserve Gaf hype, its PR is atrocious, make RAD work for the hype and lets not give praise away for free because that makes it meaningless. Unless of course the game is a number against MS list of exclusives..

This would involve a very different encounter system. It's kind of hard to imagine them keeping the same kind of hard violence in a game trying to be as light as a Ghibli film.

Also, in this case, why not Ni No Kuni?
 
Im more interested in the main character clothes than the trailer itself, the hat, the shotgun, it seems very original and intriguing.

Can't wait to learn more about him.

RAD made great games before The Order and they deserve the hype for the tech and art style alone. You dont like it, thats fine, but its not you who decides what this baord hypes and what not. Pls understand.
 
So the last ten pages have been about platform talk -_____-

At this point every Project Beast thread needs to have the words SCEJ x FROM or PS4 exclusive or something so people don't constantly come in and go, is it PS4 exclusive and then cue the same arguments.
 
Hope the game is more focused on freeing individuals from bondage, like that of Shanalotte or Astraea. Those stories were fascinating. Hopefully a less silly message system...

unwarranted positivity is cool, unwarranted negativity is not

not hard to get

Imagine:
2014-Dark Souls 2
2015-Project Beast
2017-Dark Souls 3
2018-Project beast 2

lets get one game out before we kill the franchise
 
Is this a PS4 exclusive or is it coming to PC as well? Because if it's truly PS4 only, then this might be the game that gets me to buy a modern console for the first time since my Gamecube. I will wait until it's released of course to see how it really pans out, but FROM is a great developer, and this game is so incredibly tempting me already...



Praising intensifies...
 
This won't happen unless Microsoft buys Sony, and the Kinectless XB1 is renamed the Xbox Playstation 4
Microsoft could easily buy Sony if they so desired, but I suspect they would have to make it past antitrust statutes in the United States, since Sony is their biggest competitor for hardware sales.
 
Het Steve Balmer bought the Clippers, stranger things can happen :)

That's not strange, Paul Allen owns the Portland Trailblazers and Seattle Seahawks.

Hell, Nintendo owns the Seattle Mariners.

And before they moved to OKC, the previous owner of the Sonics was Starbucks.

Gamespot gave it game of year also help a lot.

Damn, you have missed out on a lot of great games.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I would think the object would be to find non-violent solutions. I've been concepting a gameplay premise where the object is to kill as few things as possible - where you actually have negative consequences for killing things. The creatures are what make the world interesting. In my idea, the world actually gets uglier the more you kill. But it becomes more beautiful if you find non-violent solutions to the various puzzles and challenges. I'll admit it might be impossible to make this game compelling for extended periods.

You should be able to get PS3 or 360 for cheap right now, and there's are tons of fun console exclusive games that you can play while waiting for this.

Yeah, if this is Demon's Souls 2, then it's Sony's IP.
