Why compromise the announcement at all though?

If they wanted Souls fans to watch, they could just put a teaser for their conference and end it with a fade up of the fog door. Job done. In hours everyone online would know Sony was announcing a new Souls game.

They didn't need to reveal any of this, which is why I find it extremely hard to believe they did.

As for why we don't have the trailer, the first leak was obviously screen grabs from a low quality stream because it had b-frame artifacts, this is obviously from a source file. It might be the same person, but it isn't the same source file, and I'm sure whoever it is enjoys the attention.

I get what you're saying, that would have worked nicely.

But I still believe there's no such thing as bad publicity. Nobody's going to judge the graphical quality of this game over some gifs with compression. This keeps the buzz going strong and I don't think that is a bad thing necessarily.

 

[koolaroo]

Did you ever play one of the other "Souls" games'

Only a little. I was just confused because all that was in the OP was gifs and no info.

 

[orochi91]

I'm very confused why is this really exciting?

420 PRAISE IT.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Is this PS4 exclusive or not? Doesn't seem to be anything in those vids that confirm this.

 

[Ibuki]

Is this the first time it's been seen in motion or am I just late to the update?

 

[Schryver]

I've only played 10 hours of dark souls but holy shit give this to me sony. Yesss

 

[Ghazi]

I think it'll be a great game based on the studio involved and the director. The footage shown is doing nothing for me. Why? Because it looks like 10-15 seconds of a Souls game but blurrier. The footage is from screens that were obviously taken during this trailer, so nothing new is shown, its essentially pictures in motion.

 

[rokkerkory]

I wished I can get as excited as you guys, please tell me more about this game? Pls?

 

[Kagari]

Is this PS4 exclusive or not? Doesn't seem to be anything in those vids that confirm this.

It is.

 

[ponpo]

I really hope this ends up being revealed as

Spoiler

a PC mod for Dark Souls 1.

The meltdowns ~~ ~~ ~ ~ ~

 

[Stillmatic]

I slowed it down and cut out everything else. Looks like a scythe that extends.

Yep, you can see it folded up here:

 

[Machinehead]

I had low expectations for E3. Now I'm dying inside. I NEED IT NOW!!!

HOLY SHIT

I'm super glad that today I was finally able to play webms on my iPad!

HOW? I need it!

Have you ever played a Souls game?

 

[halfbeast]

I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW BEAST OVERLORD.

Umbasa.

There have been a rumor of From making another Demon Souls game, exclusively for PS4.

Now we get this. It fits 100%.

 

[makingmusic476]

That thing is not a whip. Seems like he has the same weapon in all the clips, some kind of sickle axe that flips out.

Tried to grab the best looks at it.

The curve of whatever is in that last shot seems quite different from the curve of the weapon in the first three shots.

Whatever it is seems longer and more rounded.

 

[EBE]

i wish i cared for the Souls games as this looks very good. i just haven gotten into them. sony exclusive is a bummer as well, but its exciting for playstation owners nonetheless. will keep my eye on it.

 

[Dragonborn]

Surely you're not surprised?
The general tone of a lot of Sony related threads recently has been rather negative(manufactured or not), so it was almost expected people would try to shit one up that's overwhelmingly positive.

It's hilarious how certain people go on those threads and complain about Sony being too withholding and not letting any info out and then come here and complain about Sony letting things leak and how they should have that more secured......

 

[jacksepticeye]

You can see it folded up here:

Posting this on a new page to back this up. very clearly a scythe type weapon

The curve of whatever is in that last shot seems quite different from the curve of the weapon in the first three shots.

Whatever it is seems longer and more rounded.

It's literally the exact same.

 

[JABEE]

Looks good.

 

[StuBurns]

Time for a no port begging tag on the title I think.

 

[jbttwin]

 

[LiK]

You can see it folded up here:

alright, i'm convinced now.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

ER.. MAH.. FERKIN.. GERD!!!

 

[Atomski]

Guns? did it really need guns?

:/

 

[BennyBlanco]

But wasn't Demon Souls a PS3 exclusive?





Ok, I see.



But wouldn't Demon Souls have had to be a multiplatform in the first place? Seems odd that people are port begging for it if it was never multi platform to begin with






But isn't that just Dark Souls, not Demon Souls?

why are you trying to perpetuate some really petty drama? i don't see a single person port begging.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The character design and seemingly improved combat (based on short clips fml) really give me hope that this will really be a natural evolution of the formula which has already been established. I'm hyped but not sold yet. Graphics looks incredible already and these are just compressed internet pieces.

 

[travisbickle]

I'm very confused why is this really exciting?

Choose a series you really enjoy, now imagine that a bunch a gifs were released of a new game in that series.

 

[tafer]

Mandatory: OH SHIT!

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

oh gosh here we go. faulting sony because of leaks.

Week1: "sony has nothing, ms is going to drop bombs, there's a lot of stuff that leaked, they're building hype and turning things around"
Week2: "holy shit sony, how did you let this leak? what a disaster, now they don't have surprises!"

 

[bigjig]

HOLY SHIT! Can't fake that footage. Hopefully the graphics actually end up looking like that this time..

 

[Kinsei]

It's hilarious how certain people go on those threads and complain about Sony being too withholding and not letting any info out and then come here and complain about Sony letting things leak and how they should have that more secured......

Different people.

 

[Darknight]

This game doesn't have any connection to Demon Souls other than the studios involved.

Spiritual successor.

I think what some posters are saying is that this is a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, a PS3 exclusive. This is not a sequel or anything to Dark Souls 1 and 2. This is a project that Demon's Souls fans have been waiting for since the first one in 2009. Its a game they were looking forward to because of Miyazaki and SCEJ partnership, so here it is, at its glory.

So to expect the project from From x SCEJ to somehow be on XB1/PC is weird. If you are a die hard Souls fans, you'd know this or have expected the spiritual successor to DeS to be on a Sony platform only.

 

[MormaPope]

Souls game are of proven quality. It's perfectly normal to go bonkers over the prospect of a newer, better and more refined version of something you love. Going ballistic over COD with jetpacks on the other hand, I don't get.

People love this game, they know what to expect from Miyazaki.

I didn't understand the hype over that either. There are tons of signs in the big reveal trailer that its a sequel to CoD, not much will be reinvented, stuff will change. I'm a big CoD fan overall, so maybe I just see the CoDness easier.

You also thought Konami spent millions creating a fake CGI presentation for Game Trailers.

Sorry if we find it hard to believe you.

Spoiler

Now if the 10-15 seconds of footage shown for Project Beast had a CG man I'd understand the hype.

 

[Laurentius]

I wished I can get as excited as you guys, please tell me more about this game? Pls?

Play Demon's and Dark Souls, and then get back to us.

 

[Bundy]

So are we playing the role of a Witch Hunter? Don't know if the character is totally human but makes me think of this :

 

[jacksepticeye]

Guns? did it really need guns?

:/

Why not? Change things up. It's hardly a run and gun thing anyway, the gun gives it a Van Helsing vibe

 

[JasonUresti]

Miyazaki and From making the Solomon Kane game that we all deserve.

 

[NoSkillz187]

14 people posted at the exact same time. Is that a record?

 

[Gbraga]

Project Beast |OT| Pictures in motion

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Time for a no port begging tag on the title I think.

Either that or it'll look like that bridge to the Red Eye Knight. Some...some just don't learn.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Is the game called Project Beast or is that just a code name?

 

[LiK]

Guns? did it really need guns?

:/

you won't know until you played it!

 

[Sayad]

Can we expect 1080p/60fps or i'm dreaming too much?

Graphic looks like something PS4 shouldn't have a problem running at 1080/60fps.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Yosp making penance for not giving Demons Souls the time it needed pre-release to see how great it would be.

Looking forward to E3

 

[KCroxtonJr]

This is a small thing, but I hope they have something on the character that actually makes the character emitting light make sense. In Demon's Souls you had the Augite of Souls on you, but in both Dark Souls games you had nothing, just light coming from your ass.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Is the game called Project Beast or is that just a code name?

Rumor going around is that this is Shadow Tower

 

[SillyJoe]

Play Demon's and Dark Souls, and then get back to us.

And Dark Souls II!

 

[demosthenes]

I just keep watching it. E3 commeth.
