?
- Its not competing with Dark souls 2
- It would likely be an early development teaser
- Dark Souls 2 is basically done
Not sure what the problem is.
Dont. Set them free. Allow yourself to dream a little. New generations, greater power, more freedom for devs.
14 days.
New genres, revived franchises, spectacular open world masterpieces, scifi epic ship to ship battles, pirates, ninjas, lootwhoring, chickens in radiation suits, point and clicks, music to set your heart aflame, BASE jumping in Nepal, capturing all your flags, angels and demons losing their minds, and a boy, his friends, memories and tears?
One things for sure, there is nothing like the start of a new gen.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you goooooo
A spiritual successor does not require the same title. From isn't beholden to Namco not to work on other titles. Dark Souls 2 will be released just fine. The staff is capable of producing titles for Sony and Namco. This would be a next gen title, something the title for Namco is not
It's not on the Xbone. That's his problem!
A boy and his friends........

It's basic PR dude.
Miazaki isn't going to announce his next game until after Dark Souls II is released. The guy wants the Dark Souls II team to have all the hype and press to themselves. I'll be very surprised if he does anyway.
New game announcements on launch day is a smart way to keep the ball rolling. I think it's within reason to expect at least one major-ish 1st party game. Probably not a huge sequel IP, though. Add in announcements of a handful of digital and indie games that are in the pipeline and I think you have a fun way to boost hype on day when hype is already peaking.
But so long as we're casting votes for unreasonable wishes, here's mine: Jumping Flash reboot for PS4 and Vita.
Also, I gotta push back against the "But everyone will be in line" comments. A few million will. And those people are already PS4 buyers. Millions more are thinking of getting one but are the types to wait and see how it goes for a few weeks or months. What do you think a large chunk of those those people will be doing that night? Hitting GAF and live streams for first impressions. Right audience, right channel, right time to keep the forward-looking hype rolling.
But what makes you think that? If he's working on Demon's Souls 2 for PS4, it won't affect Dark Souls 2 at all since that's only on current gen consoles.

It's on a different platform.
It will most likely be released in Fall of 2014.
Also, Demon Souls 2 is the worse kept secret that remains a secret that will still cause buckets full of tears.
IThat being said, this IS the PlayStation 4 launch event. IMO, that's more relevant than the VGA's where we all pretty much expect big announcements.
What if the revived franchise is Shenmue?
The only thing I hope is that the plans have not been changed.

Just my understanding of how game reveals usually go. It's the same reason Rockstar didn't talk about Red Dead 2 whilst they were promoting GTA V, or Naughty Dog didn't announce UC 4 whilst TLOU was being promoted.
I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong as Miazakis new game is something I can't wait to see, but I doubt we will get an announcement here.
While its sad to see Miyazaki part ways with his fantasy-RPG series, it certainly makes sense from a company perspective to steer him towards a fresh title, especially if it does turn out to be something brand new. Apart from Dark Souls, Namco Bandais recent attempts to develop memorable new properties have been largely unsuccessful. If theres any chance this proven young designer can cause lightning to strike twice, it makes sense to give him that opportunity. For his part, Miyazaki seems ready to access a different part of his psyche. In response to an unrelated question, he says, sometimes Id like to work on a warmer game not necessarily casual, but warmer in terms of the atmosphere and the environment. Its the closest thing that were given to a hint about the nature of his next project.

What's to say that FROM is making Demon's Souls 2 anyway? I would love for Miyazaki to be working on it but seeing how some have suggested it to be a spiritual successor than a direct sequel it's very well possible that FROM aren't involved in the project at all.
However if FROM were to be the ones behind it then I still wouldn't see a problem. As of now we have no idea how similar the project will be to Demon's/Dark Souls and how much influence it will take from the Souls series if it is a spiritual successor.
There was an interview with Miyazaki by EDGE not so long ago, he mentioned briefly what he'd like to work on but it really doesn't tell us much to be honest.

Demon's Souls 2 would mean a PS4 purchase for me, we'll see though.

I doubt they announce anything huge.
Maybe a app debuts on the PS4 first (I dream of a Funimation app) and they reveal some more launch psn games.
I'll cross my fingers for a Planetside 2 release date.
What are the chances of Sony does the following assuming GTA V comes to next gen consoles:
A. GTA V PS4 exclusive
B. GTA V a timed PS4 exclusive
C. GTA V isn't a PS4 exclusive but, they do a MS COD like deal with Rockstar, where GTA V DLC is exclusive to PS4 for a month.
