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.
Great post. Would read again.

Not to be THAT guy, but you are judging leaked footage and discounting it because it looks like "a Souls game but blurrier" I fear you've completely missed the point.

This is a game exclusive to the most powerful console today--- BY the director of one of the most beloved franchises last gen. People have a right to be hyped and excited. Put two and two together.
 
Awesome. Can't wait for the proper announcement. It has been a long time coming. Hopefully the darker atmosphere of Demons Souls returns.
 
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.



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

Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 are two of the best games of the gen (if not the best games)

Why ppl shouldn't be excited?
 
What is the actual chance of this coming to other platforms besides PlayStation 4 as the obvious choice? We know that Demon's Souls was PS3 only due to Sony's help (I presume funding and developer time), however would From and Kadokawa Corporation (their new owner) want to restrict it to one platform? Its clear that the series has a rather strong reception now across multiple platforms, so it will be really interesting to hear if it is one platform and hopefully why it is.

Either way, this game will be amazing with what we have had so far in the Souls series. I can't wait to see what gruelling encounters we face and what online changes we may find. Whatever platform it is on, I can comfortably say it will be an amazing title.

I got four. Did I unlock the next part of the trailer?

Zero. Sony is actually helping fund the project.
 
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!"

"Sony reps aren't tweeting games games games.. like Spencer is"

-100%

Think as this as another Bayonetta 2 case.
 
Okay so this is a sequel or another game in the series then? Gonna youtube this

We don't really know yet. It's likely either a sequel to Demon's Souls, or a spiritual successor to those games. Either way, it's a game by the same developer with likely the same general feel and mechanics. Those games are some of the best ever made in my opinion, so another game like it by From makes me super excited.
 
People who didn't like the walk/run animation in Dark Souls 2 must be happy to see that this game isn't incorporating any of that. Nor Dark Souls's 2 new lighting engine? Neutral about that I suppose.
 
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 looks longer but it's just the way it's being held sideways. I cropped the picture and flipped it 90 degrees and the handles match up.
 
surprisingly a lot of souls fans like generic shooters.

i'm surprised too.

Depending on implementation, guns could function a lot like spells. Strong, but limited use (only get new shells at bonfires or whatever), with a large time between firing/reloading time.
 
What if he's lying about that part... and it's MS's super secret third party exclusive?

I know there were rumours of Miyazaki making a PS4 exclusive with Sony/Japan/From, but where did that originate from? That was before any of the Project Beast stuff leaked

You have everyone and their mums confirming it's a SONY exclusive that was the big reveal of the SONY E3 conference.

Honestly, can we cut the shit with this ridiculous conspiracy theory junk?
 
Guns? did it really need guns?

:/

There is a good chance it may release on the PS3 as well. However if they are developing the game with Sony other consoles are out of the question. (PC is a possibility, though it is remote)
 
And like Demon's Souls and the PS3 before it, I now have a reason to buy a PS4.

God damn it, From Software releasing a game makes me feel like a little kid again. There's that feeling of anticipation and almost child-like wonder. Was a little disappointed in DkS2 once I got my hands on it, but hopefully this will be better with Miyazaki at the helm again.
 
HOLY FUCK where'd this come from!?

Day fucking one. GAF, ya'll got me addicted to Souls games :(

Too bad I never got to play Demon's Souls.

demonite (SCE employee) has been teasing us for moths before the leak about beasts.
 
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......

I just hope that those rumors Thuway heard are false because I always assumed
TLG would get that grand finale moment. Potentially having a Soul-ish game close
out the show makes me assume that TLG won't be at the conference.

Going exclusive has it's perks and From has a great relationship with Sony. Keep in mind, the Souls series wouldn't be around were it not for Sony's involvment in the first place. Being exclusive means Sony gives them a lot more attention, probably pays for development, pays for advertising, and exclusives tend to get a lot more attention in general. The majority of sales came from PS3, so making it PS4 exclusive does make a lot of sense.

They have the B-Team working on Dark Souls 3 for everyone else in the meantime as well, so it's not like they'll stop putting Souls on other consoles. It just means that Soul fans deciding which console to get will have an easy choice to make now.
 
Leak or not, it's still super exciting for the proper full reveal and trailer because

We don't know what platform it's on, maybe PS4/PS3/Vita/Xbone/360/PC/WiiU
We don't know how it's play, RPG/TPS/Survivor Horror/FPS
We don't know when it's coming out, 2014/2015/2054

All we know it's make by from, look like soul, and that's make everything exciting.
