shadow of the best was the typo in the title, now fixed. thanks mod!

Wow so this game has been in the dark since Sony clearly announced it way too early in 2013, and we're finally getting some new information.

During the PlayStation Experience’s GENERATION 8 – A New Golden Age! Panel, Heavy Spectrum’s revealed new concept arts and information regarding the development of PlayStation 4 exclusive Shadow of the Beast.

“It was all [the idea behind the game] was all spawned by a set of these games I played [referring to the old Shadow of Beast games] and they made such a huge impression on me that the world came to life,” said Heavy Spectrum’s Matt Birch. “As a child, my imagination extended to this huge vast experience. So then something amazing happened 25 years later…the PlayStation 4!”

“And finally, the thing that was in my head, had an opportunity to become a game that people can play. Sony were incredible supportive when we started to talk about this idea.”

You misspelled Beast...ohhhhhh. I get it now.

Edit: Ha! I thought the typo was intentional.

 

[shinobi602]

Been wondering where this game's been...nothing since...what, was it Gamescom last year or E3?

 

[IAmRandom31]

HAWT

Gamescom 2013

 

[CecilRousso]

Dead Hall.
Shadow of the Best.

Neogaf titles are the best today.

 

[joe2187]

BEAST SOULS LIVES

 

[Stike]

SHADOW OF THE BEAST GODDAMN IT TYPO lol

Nice foreshadowing

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Best game on Best console

 

[Letep]

Woah woah woah. This is so great.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

It only took over a year for something new, but at least it's somewhat assuring that the game is still being developed. Games that disappear like SotB did usually just fade away.

 

[Dragon Puncher]

Jeff Gertsmann will be happy about this.

 

[DMczaf]

We are finally getting another Best of the Best sequel!?

 

[Kiriku]

IT'S ALIVE!

 

[Buzza]

Dead Hall.
Shadow of the Best.

Neogaf titles are the best today.

Don't you mean 'NeoGaf titles are the beast today?'

 

[Stone Ocean]

Shadow on, shadow off, shadow on, shadow off

I wonder when we'll start seeing some gameplay of this

 

[SymbiantXenos]

All pre orders come with ten free pints.

 

[Begaria]

This is the best Project Beast bears beats Battlestar Galatica.

I've not played any of the Shadow of the Beast games. Sidescrollers, huh?

 

[BloodMoney]

glad to finally see some new info on the game.
they should offer a collectors edition in a long box for us nostalgic old geezers

one of the greatest game intros... cutting edge graphics at the time.

[GobFather]

finally, some info...looking forward to more info! I expected more info during PSX

 

[Turkoop]

never played the old ones, will be my first, reminds me kind of god of war ^^

 

[bishoptl]

YOU'RE THE YEAST AROUND

 

[Stike]

All pre orders come with ten free pints.

I'd prefer a shirt

 

[lordxar]

Good to see this is still has a pulse...thought it was dead dead.

 

[Ol No Bones]

Looks interesting.

 

[GeoramA]

16 months later. Glad those 2013 Gamescom announcements are showing signs of life!

 

[ShapeGSX]

Step 1: Close down the remnants of Psygnosis after years of operating as Studio Liverpool.
Step 2: Make a new Shadow of the Beast.

WTF Sony?

 

[BloodMoney]

I'd prefer a shirt

wish I still had that t-shirt, alas it fell apart in the 90's

 

[alexandros]

Beautiful! I hope I'll get the chance to buy and play it at some point, if it ever gets released on PC. I love the aesthetic, just the right mix of nostalgic and modernized visuals.

 

[barit]

Style reminds me of Another World. I like that

 

[Ivan]

Beautiful .

So many memories, what a fantastic art it had on my beloved Amiga...


More stuff like this please, Sony .

 

[Devilgunman]

Look like a budget PSN game. Not that its a bad thing though.

it's...concept art

how do you figure out its budget from it?

 

[Stike]

Time to brag once more, lol

 

[Gambit 1138]

It must have just been greenlit when it was first shown at gamescom

 

[Endo Punk]

If the game captures even half the imagination of the concept art this will be a very special experience indeed.

 

[ironcreed]

Looks hot. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Gamer345]

it's...concept art

I have found many gaffers dont seem to know the difference between concept art and actual game

 

[dofry]

Cool but now I feel old.

 

[BloodMoney]

Time to brag once more, lol

damn dude, that is awesome.
All I've got left from Beast I and Beast II are the disks.

 

[Stone Ocean]

The concept art is not native 1080p. of course.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Ya beat me to it, you slippery bastard!

Anyway, really happy it's not dead. One of my most anticipated games on PS4. Really hope get some footage early in the new year with an Autumn/Winter release.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

sweet, never played the OG gams but it looked so good last year

 

[Confidence Man]

Should've kept the old logo.

 

[Verger]

So many threads. Sheesh.

Great stuff again. Loved the original back in the day. Stoked about how it was greenlit despite being a highly unorthodox setting with super fantastical elements and a very unusual Hero/Demon.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Got all the way to the snail once to find I'd one coin too few.

Think I played Robocod after that

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This game was announced way too early. Artwork looks great, though. I'm curious to see a new trailer now.

 

[BloodMoney]

They need to hire Roger Dean for the box artwork. Would be a nice nod to the original franchise.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Wow. I never played the games but loved pouring over the box art at software stores as a kid. It took a second for it to click. This looks great.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Not to be rude, but isn't the original SotB considered something of a... well, kusoge? I mean even at the time it was new, it wasn't anywhere near the quality of other games in the same genre. It'll be interesting to see how they modernize this one.
