What does that mean?
When I quoted it he just said "play like MH". Which already has its audience on 3DS and isn't really that popular here.

It probably won't because they want it to sell huge in the west (probably)
That's what I'm thinking.No, and I'm wondering if maybe Sony is having it both ways and is doing its own Souls game (they've had connections with FromSoft all along, maybe it wasn't tough to contract that or maybe they even retained some rights themselves) for Vita similar to how they did their own White Knight Chronicle game?

I hope it plays nothing like MH.
3G is probably going to be released this year and I'm sinking a couple of hundred hours into it. But this is gonna end up being a giant monster killing, 4 player co-op game anyways, so all I can realistically ask for is a fresh take on the formula.
Don't Sony still own the Demon's Souls IP?
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. 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.
@Duckroll: Where and when did the rumors of From backing a Sony project originate and are you putting any stock into it?

The same way superman has cooperated with lex luthor if darkseid is coming...Then theyre cooperating

Clearly the 4m+ MHP3rd players are all on 3DS. It's very apparent in the sales of 3G.When I quoted it he just said "play like MH". Which already has its audience on 3DS and isn't really that popular here.
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.
WHAT ABOUT US JRPG/Japanese Game fans? we matter too
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.
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 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.
It's just terrible logic.

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?
Sigh.I'll be sure to check Amazon on 5/9.
No, I think the answer to Duckroll's question is pretty obvious; I'd hate for this project to amount to nothing but an uninspired, soulless (HA) effort independent of Miyazaki's team. Checking those kinds of boxes is for luring chumps. Thanks, but no thanks.

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.
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'll be sure to check this forum on 5/9.

Sony just needs to buy the fuck out From Soft. period.

To me the most important thing from From Soft is their combat mechanic, other stuff is just bonus.
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
