Ok so why would the leaker be keeping clips back? That only strengthens the idea that its a controlled leak.

You must be crazy to think Sony would intentionally leak a megaton like an exclusive next gen Souls game. Just no.

The leaker obviously isn't a full on douche and probably doesn't want to ruin everything. Hopefully nothing else is leaked.

So they can do it again next week? I don't know, I don't see any reason Sony would do it either though.

I find the nameless merchants in Demon's Souls more memorable than most of the named characters. Like seriously, does anyone give a rat's ass about Scirvir the Wanderer?

Everyone's hoping for a demon's souls sequel. I'm hoping for a new tasty Miyazaki world.

Same. Demon's Souls as a world is basically finished. It's far less ambiguous than the future of Dark Souls.

The one big hole that "needs" to be filled is what the hell happened in the Land of Giants.

There's not much to her character, like every Souls character. She has a cool accent though (might be annoying to some though). Which is more than I can say for someone like...Solaire...who just likes the sun. Whatever.

Solaire is heavily implied to be Gwyn's son in human form.

He's also pretty funny and his friendliness stands out from most of the other characters.

"You really are fond of chatting with me, aren't you? I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for me. Oh no, dear me, pretend you didn't hear that!"

PleaseplEasepleaseplease FROM, release this on a weekend

1 leak (full trailer) = perception of being a random leaker,

Leaking 3 things screenshot, webm, full trailer = perception of having a record of leaking, even though it's still only one leak

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Lewis seem to be an ever increasingly pervasive thing in this industry. I guess with the continued expansion of internet media this is pretty much inevitable.

 

[jiggle]

Why would they leak their ace
Makes no sense
And on completely random days
It`s not like they had horribad npd result they needed to obfuscate

 

[Artex]

Any chance this is actually Demon's Souls 2?

Spoiler

In spirit.

To reply to you and a few other arguments I saw here:

- This game isn't the greatest bomba of all time, because it was already heavily rumored like over a year ago. Verendus or some other guy basically confirmed since long that it was in production.
- We only receive bits of a trailer. Not the full deal. Why?
-- Security of the leaker? No, if the video was watermarked, it would be in every frame.
-- We are being teased? Rather possible.

--> But why tease us with a controlled leak of a great game? Even Thuway said that he only knew that Beast was going to be shown and all other leaks are sealed shut.

Case in point is: We have seen pieces of something we KNEW it was going to be there, or at least had some good leads towards it.

The OTHER secrets and things that will be there - we STILL have no idea.

Leaking this causes all kinds of hype, but not an unexpected kind of hype. Imagine they had leaked a first screenshot of Uncharted 4. Or (just guessing a wild example) some proof of Shenmue HD or whatever, THAT would have been a much bigger leak than Project Beast.

And DemonNite keeps teasing us...

I rest my case

 

[Kagari]

This wasn't a controlled leak.

 

[Stike]

This wasn't a controlled leak.

Gnaaah, I'll shut up already

 

[GribbleGrunger]

All this talk of Demon's Soul has made me want to play it again. I'm not very good with difficult games (hence I didn't finish it the first time) and most people say the best class to start with is Royal. Is that a good choice?

 

[Great Guy]

Psyching myself up that this footage is likely months old and has such polish, minus the tearing.

If it is a souls-type game, I would be interested in maybe having more than 1 home base. Finding mysterious loners throughout the world is awesome, but I imagine another area, like the Ds1 dlc sanctuary, with a couple of misfits to chat with, just for some flavor. Definitely not a village every 10miles type thing though.

 

[i-Lo]

So are heads really rolling at Sony and FROM right now given the rumour about how this was supposed to be the ending for the former's press conference?

 

[SephiZack]

What if this was their worst card? Imagine the megatons

 

[TheRealTalker]

No since the ending of Sony's Presser is clearly going to be TLG and Agent back to back

 

[Jaeger]

How many times do you need to legit do something aside from leveling up in Majula after you go to Heide's?

Blacksmith. Also at least 1 important NPC besides Emerald and Blacksmith resides there.

Royal is OP as shit.

So yes.

Kagari, based on knowledge or an assumption?

Yeah, that would be the path of least resistance. You get to use magic right away and that "levels" the early game playing field. IMPORTANT: go to the first area of the Shrine of Storms (4.1) and pick up the Crescent Falchion (located right behind the Black Dual Katana Skeleton near the steps leading to the second area). Once you do this, you should have an easier time progressing through the game.

I hope you can get into the game, it is a great experience. I know the beginning can be difficult to overcome, but once you get the hang of things, the game is a treat.

but was it Sony's ace? Everyone seems to believe Sony has nothing else to show

If this game was meant to be end of show reveal well they definitely can't do that now. The surprise is over, Project Beast should be the beginning and they need an IP equally as big to end with... *cough* TLG *cough*

In general, the soul level 1 classes are always the easiest to start with because the level up costs are the lowest. The Royalty class also starts with some good gear and abilities on top of starting at Soul Level 1.

No.

Thanks. I actually finished 3/4 of the game but the difficulty got me in the end. I was also distracted by another game, so this time no distractions. I don't do bad for a 56 year old but my reflexes have definitely taken a hit in the last few years lol.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Everyone? Just because they aren't running around screaming about their conference doesn't mean that they aren't locked and loaded.

 

[Backfoggen]

No.

Guardian confirmed.

 

[Endo Punk]

No.

I hope they don't plan on showing FFXV and KH3 again. Without a release date it would be a bloody joke.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

No.

Huzzah. Thanks Kagari

Everyone? Just because they aren't running around screaming about their conference doesn't mean that they aren't locked and loaded.

I was talking about the latest twitter chatter. Even Manabyte was saying this was Sony's ace. This game is great, but I couldn't believe Sony had nothing else of importance to show.

That would be on SE, not Sony

Do you believe everything you read on the internet?

No. Just tired of hearing it at the moment. I don't get why everyone thinks MS is amassing some army and Sony has nothing at all. Oh well. I'll let it go now.

Crash Bandicoot guys !!

Legend of Dragoon 2 with a Vita Arpg where you collect and merge dragoon powers.

Good to hear, but man I hope nothing else is leaked. Especially since I'll likely be attending their theatre showing. Won't be as great if people aren't getting as excited as they would be if nothing was leaked.

 

[Bunta]

pls don't ban me, I joke

Thanks for the info.

Royal is good choice then figure out the weapon you want like a crescent and build towards that.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

One more megaton ? Ok.

Bigger than Project Beast ? Impossible.

 

[RoboPlato]

The thing about "megaton" announcements is that they can vary from person to person. I know personally, Uncharted footage will be more of a major announcement than a new Souls. I think both MS and Sony will have several things that can be construed as megatons in one way or another.

 

[Toxi]

It's a good choice if you want to get bored with spells. :-/

Knight and Temple Knight are much more fun to start out with, IMO. Remove enough armor to fast roll and then you can put more on as you upgrade your endurance. Pick up a piercing weapon if you go Temple Knight, it'll help immensely against some of the enemies with tough hides.

But those three are basically the most solid starting classes.

 

[StuBurns]

I don't see how Sony can have anything bigger, unless it's a third party exclusive.

F I N A L F A N T A S Y V I I

 

[Endo Punk]

Ape Escape 4 I can see it now.

It would be a bigger announcement for me.

Believe... It would be just phenomenal.. <3

Not sure why people think that. They might be disappointed.

whoa this game looks great. if only sony could drop the price to 299$

TLG releasing Winter 2014.

BOLIEVE IT.

 

[MMaRsu]

Im sure they'll have a few aces in the hole.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

While i love Souls games just like everyone else there is no way this could be Sony's ace .
It going to be interesting to see the hype for other titles like the next UC for eg .

 

[RoboPlato]

No. Just tired of hearing it at the moment. I don't get why everyone thinks MS is amassing some army and Sony has nothing at all. Oh well. I'll let it go.

Same thing happened last year. Some people were speculating CoD, Madden, BF, AND Fifa would all be exclusive to XBO. The irrational fear of MS buying up the industry gets people paranoid all the time. MS will definitely have good stuff this year, but I also expect to see a lot more major multiplats at MS than at Sony's show.
