Either it will be at TGS, they didn't want to show it because it was leaked, or the most likely it was being used to show the game off internally and was never intended to be seen outside of From Software / Sony.

Ok, I'm calling it a day with you because you're just being facetious.
edit: I have an answer.

Ah, Ok, thanks ... phew, I never thought such an easy question would need explaining so many times lol
No one knows. It was a old build for sure though the clips don't look nearly as good as the screen released today.

As I understood it, that footage was from a trailer that was supposed to be shown at TGS last year. It's nearly a year old. Sony isn't going to show that footage publicly, ever. Your only hope will be for someone to leak it all.
Sounds cool. Also heard that blood sticks to the player as you kill more stuff? (or was that just because I recently saw a Drakengard 3 let's play... I don't remember if I'm hallucinating anymore, sleep lately has been weird)
Oh yeah, how amusing is the ragdolling in this one?
Haha if I remember correctly, I think the player character was pretty bloody by the end of the demo. But not to the point you were covered completely in it. And the ragdolls were behaving in the demo I watched!
They hardly seem comparable. From software games have good gameplay for example.
I'm not sure if I should be sad or happy about this.
Hehe. Thanks for all this info!

Its probably for the best, for the most part gamers have become whiny,unappreciative and entitled.Showing a game before it is pretty much complete will have see your product get unjustly berated. Or tagged with current gens favorite catch words "Downgraded,Uninspired" You don't need to look any further than the bashing Watch Dogs took or the Unrelenting hate that the Order is getting.
From doesn't have a very good track record with this.
Hope to God they realize how important a good framerate is here and make that one of their priorities.
I want to use a revolver and go full spaghetti western mode.

A lot of people complained about warping in DS1 as in they complained about its absence or about its presence? That seems like a really strange thing to complain about.
If this sold above expectation, there are likely to be sequels and I doubt Sony would not go with From Software when it comes to that.

Sorry, but Witcher gameplay and swordplay have NOTHING on the Souls series of games.
Both, actually, but I think more people complained about its presence. I think this is mostly because the game without it feels much larger than the game with it. The Legend of Zelda has a similar mechanic via the Recorder, which is essentially a Warp Whistle. The recorder in The Legend of Zelda's warping also shrinks the size of the game considerably.Imru al-Qays;115892300 said:

That's extremely debatable, there's strategy in other aspects. I wasn't here to tell you 'my game is better than yours', I was here to say that 'game of the generation' is not going to happen considering how early we are. Game of the Year depends entirely on competition and the competition isn't light.
I really hope I don't get reply after reply of 'THIS GAME IS BETTER' in the thread for this game when it was simply an example.
+1 to this. But it took a lot of practice and death to actually be good playing that way.
People didn't complain about warping in Dark Souls 1. They complained about the post-Lordvessel area design with fewer connections and alternate routes that made warping more convenient, but they didn't complain much about warping because, you know, backtracking through the Tomb of the Giants sucks.
Dark Souls 2 on the other hand, yeah, people didn't like all that warping. I didn't either. I like backtracking.
But I guess it's good PR for the Sony fans.

That's kinda silly considering its level design seems to take more from Dark Souls.

First half of DkS1 doesn't have warping, and the level and world design benefited from it. Warping from the onset in DkS2 was necessary only because that game is so bloated with mediocre content that you wouldn't want to backtrack through it to find a clever shortcut. Not that B team From Soft could design that in the first place, just look at the world collision data, or all the illogical branching paths from Ruined Forked Road in Shaded Woods.
I hope that Bloodborne takes the DeS approach of more quality content and less unnecessary areas that just drag the game on.

A faster paced, more offensively played Demon Souls sounds great to me. This will definitely be one of the first PS4 games I buy. Now, where's my gameplay footage?

If you preorder now you get a digital countdown.
FromSoft already owned by Kadokawa Games, They wouldn't went full exclusive with Sony, but just expect them to have another future collaboration project with SCEJ.
Well Dark Souls is the actual spiritual successor of Demon's Souls to begin with

Bigger changes than I was expecting. I thought guns would just replace bows/crossbows and it would maintain the same pace. Not sure how I feel about less Shields more shooting.

That's just cruel.If you preorder now you get a digital countdown.
Yeah I agree, it's better to show something which is representative of the final quality because first impressions are really important although in the case of Watch Dogs it's true that the game was effectively severely downgraded so the reaction was fair.
In the case of The Order the problem is that people are realizing just now that the game belongs to a different genre than what they were expecting (it's not Gears in victorian London).

They charged me too. I'm not bummed, I'll support FROM Software on this. You can preorder all the upcoming titles in the same way.

Why would they be? From will still make Dark Soul's games I'm sure. But since this be the 2nd Sony exclusive "Soul's" game, I think they will continue to develop exclusives for them going forward.

I wonder if LBP3 will have preloading. It comes out after Destiny and they said that's the first... soooo.
This game though that's just torturing yourself.

The show guy said there are more weapons beyond the two in the show demo.
I'm willing to bet there will be a shield because the enemy had one and the normal enemy is similar to the player in terms of mechanics.

Yup, and I don't blame devs at all for being aprehensive. It's just horrible.

Yeah. It was cool seeing six games to pre-order up there after the conference. All of them look like sure buys.
293 days on that timer though. Man. lol. >_<

I think warping in DS1 was handled perfectly. They saved it until after the game's hardest boss fight and it felt like a major reward. Most of the places you wind up warping to are places you've been to a billion times by the time you clear Anor Londo.

Sure, and this is exactly how the Recorder in Legend of Zelda functions. But, it does make the world feel much more disconnected, or at the very least, indirectly connected. Warping kills persistence of space to a degree and challenges the legitimacy of the worldspace (as being interesting enough to trek through legitimizes interest in it).Imru’ al-Qays;115896077 said:
Skyrim had fast travel and despite the world being absolutely massive, most of the time you would just fast travel wherever you wanted to go, because it's convenient. When this is taken away the player gets a real sense of how massive the game world is, and finds even more appreciation in the interesting bits which previously were meaningless (horse-drawn carts that could take you to major cities for a price). Similarly, this exists in Dark Souls via means of finding and creating shortcuts. However, shortcuts are rather compromised when the game gives you a huge shortcut like warping.
There's a mod called Requiem for Skyrim that disables fast travel by default in order to preserve this persistence of space. I dunno if there's a better terminology for it, but that's what I call it.
