That's what I'm thinking.
But this game is pretty clearly developed for Japan. Sony already have a bunch of western games in development on the Vita. If they're making a game for the west, they wouldn't even bother making it in Japan to begin with.

One could say that Demon's Souls was developed with Japan in mind and look how that turned outBut this game is pretty clearly developed for Japan.

The enemy design looks horrid, like they found them crumpled in the trash of the Soul Calibur art team.
Interested to see where this leads and whether this is the start of Sony's take on the "Soul" IP or not.

gorl..
I think there was a rumor about a sort of Vita spin-off sometime in late Feb. I put about as much stock in it as I do for any random post about something on 2ch - which isn't much. There are just as many people who think this could be the Inafune game for example. So we'll see I guess.

The same way superman has cooperated with lex luthor if darkseid is coming...
Clearly the 4m+ MHP3rd players are all on 3DS. It's very apparent in the sales of 3G.
Didn't inafune get in trouble with sony when he said he was working on a Vita game? That would be pretty weird if it was just a third party game.

WHAT ABOUT US JRPG/Japanese Game fans?
no offense but its clearly a dying breed seeing how trends this gen have panned out
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Sony actually hosted a video of him announcing his intention of making a Vita game, without any details. Why would he get in trouble for that?
Before that
I don't think I paid attention to whatever happened then, or I forgot.

I don't see what that has to do with what I was saying.
I thought you were saying this game was geared at japan. Which is obviously a fair assumption to make. But with implication that it holds no weight in the west as "Sony already have a bunch of western games in development on the Vita. If they're making a game for the west, they wouldn't even bother making it in Japan to begin with."
I used DS as a potential parallel to what this game could become.
I was replying to someone who said that this game will probably be nothing like Monster Hunter because he thinks that somehow Sony will not be interested in making a Monster Hunter game since they're not very popular in the West. It's just terrible logic.

I was under the impression he was referring to the same Game Heaven game. Sony gave him trouble because it was one of the event's "major announcements." It's what a number of websites corroborated as well, iirc.
At least I'm consistent!
That is probably true.
That six page ad is a good sign though. When has sony bought a six page ad for a announced game much less a un-announced game.
You know, I'm curious. There are lots of people wanting this game to be related to Demon's Souls or From Software. Let's say it is a From Software game, but Miyazaki has nothing to do with the game, and another team at From Software is making a 4-player action game where you equip skills and fight giant monsters. There are no complex levels, not RPG elements, just lots of action. What then? Will you be satisfied just because you get to check boxes that say "Sony", "From Software", and "Dark Fantasy"? Regardless of game quality or genre? At that point does it really matter who makes it?
i think i'm gonna wait and see what this is before i could possibly think of answering this

There would be hell to pay. I don't know about other people, but my entire perception of this game hinges on the faith that maybe this will be like Demon's/Dark souls. It would be fine if some elements of MH seeped in, but it's true that I would be massively disinterested if it's just a sawdust filled knockoff of MH coated with a dark fantasy finish.
I think when people throw out their "PLEASE BE FROM!" monikers it's assumed that the quality and overall feel of the souls games comes with it. And let's be honest, discussion of this game wouldn't have reached 4 pages let alone 2 on this site if there wasn't the possibly that this could be demons souls portable.
I'd be okay with that as long as the game has a similar level of depth as the other Souls games, and more importantly, the atmosphere is as amazing.
Then I should point out that this is definitely an action game, and that Sony has not suggested or implied at all that it has anything to do with From Software or RPGs of any kind. The 6-page ad they put in Famitsu clearly states that this is an action game and that it will feature some sort of evolved co-op gameplay.
Keep expectations in check.
I just want a fun co-op game. Not expecting the world or anything.

you jest, but it will be 5/9 in the US when it's 5/10 in Japan.
To me the most important thing from From Soft is their combat mechanic, other stuff is just bonus.

I think From trusts Sony with exclusivity on their titles about as far as one of their employees could pick up and throw SCE's corporate office after the debacle with Demon's Souls.
I highly, highly doubt they'd let Sony buy them, especially after getting commercial success with Dark Souls being multiplatform.

Japanise games developed for West are universally shit - they ones that are great are made for Japan
But From is a pretty big company, they have all sorts of different combat mechanics...
I meant th Souls combat mechanic, if they could put that thing in many of their games, I'll be their most loyal customer
Well you'll probably be disappointed regardless then, since it looks like this game won't have any melee combat.

This could be the game that makes me get a Vita.
Can't wait to find out more. Looks very promising.
