I love Pokken!
If this doesn't convince people that this is a Souls game, i don't know what will.
Similarly to how Shadow Tower and Eternal Ring are essentially King's Field games. From keeps a core DNA between a good chunk of their games, hence why they're sort of connected.
I'm sure this game will be the same, especially to the three previous Souls games.

Yes... This is the kind of thing that will get me to buy a PS4. Really exciting!
I didn't, but I see it now. :O
Considering its apparently made by the same studio/staff and that it looks very similar to the other Souls games... Uhm, a lot?
If we assume that the project was first conceived not long after Dark Souls 1 was finished, it must not be that far off.. I doubt they would go a 2014 release as not to create series fatigue with the recent release of Dark Souls 2. However, it's not very far fetched that this could be a big deal 2015 exclusive.
If FF XV and MGS V come out in 20XV it only stands to reason that we might be on the verge of one of the best years in gaming, the holy trinity as I would like to call it xD

This is easily going to be a systemseller for PS4. Think about it. PC gamers wanted Demon's Souls and they got Dark Souls. Well, not the Dark Souls they wanted but after some modifications by Durante they did (1080p/60fps). Now they have Dark Souls 2 and it comes with that and not GFWL too. They're easily looking for the next fix and PS3/360 isn't delivering. Marketed right this game can easily sell 1-2 million units and get a few hardcore PC gamers over to consoles. Come for Souls and stay for the indies.

I feel like the fog door is a WAY bigger indicator of this being a Souls game than that, it seems unclear to me.
Looks pretty far along considering how recently DS2 was released, maybe there's something to all that A-B team talk.

Thuway says it's Castlevania inspired! Definitely gives that kind of feel from the pics. This game will rule.

You're posting from an iron maiden right now, aren't you?

Chances of this being shown at E3 high, GAF? At this point, I'm looking for ANY new AAA title to be shown at the Sony conference.

Except if it was DeS 2, they would just called like that. Project Beast strongly suggests a spiritual successor.

According to most of DemonNite's hints, it's a spinoff game.
I'M CUMMING.
"leave me alone"
Whatever it is called, people will still consider it to be Demons Souls 2.
Unless he meant plot/story wise.

I wouldn't say one of the best years just yet but seeing that we start the year off with the Witcher 3, and if FFXV, MGS V and this come out too it definitely has the potential. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

Except... that's not actually how this works? Every single person who's paying attention to this right now is already a fan of the series -- in other words, a person whose anticipation cannot, by definition, go up all that far. These are people you can either stun with a surprise announcement at E3 -- thereby ensuring an outpouring of enthusiasm from the existing fanbase at the exact time that potential new buyers are discovering it via media coverage -- or build up anticipation more delicately with an ARG-style teasing campaign, ensuring that fans build up the E3 conference in advance.
No game company ever, in the history of the industry, has decided the best way to reveal its hot new title is to release ugly, blurry, awkwardly-framed off-screen shots of their game on a message board, because that makes their game look bad.
"OMG it's a controlled leak" is something posters on GAF say because they really want to participate in a rumor-news thread and sound like they have something smart to say. In reality, controlled leaks are quite easy to pick out, and most of the time when we have one nobody feels the need to say so because it's already pretty obvious that a company-directed teasing campaign is happening.
That's... drastic.

Since there are some connections to Demons Souls I thought it might be handy to post all the content that was cut from DeS:
http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/unused-content
There are a lot of wolf like creatures.

It seems like while FROM is working on a game called Project Beast, GAF is working on a thread named Project Best

Holy shit, I go to bed and wak up so this 3000 post thread, amazing.
Anyway, I'm not too excited for this. Dark Souls wasn't really my kind of game in the end, so if this is similar then I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy it...

I see what you did therefunny
It's just the truth
It's also why I wasn't feeling the DS2 hype and am skipping it indefinitely now. I just kind of sensed it even before all the dev credits were compared.
Now this Beast Souls... you can just tell from the pics it's the real deal.
Thanks- yeah, that was more what I was getting at- ie direct sequel/continuation of the world, or more of a side-story type thing.
Just hope it has the DS mechanics, Day 1.

Not even one of the two big Sony JRPGs you teased last year?
No. it's normal.

Looks like a cemetery full of zombies to me.
Areas in Dark Souls usually have a theme.
No Man's Warf in Dark Souls 2 is obviously a viking theme, but that hardly makes the game nordic

So it's a spinoff game with guns, and inspired by Castlevania.
Oh golly! What the heck is Miyazaki cooking up? I need to see this!
To be fair, there are more threads about the new Call of Duty.

So I guess we'll be seeing 2 Souls franchises in parallel going forward?
One exclusive to sony (either with a new name for each entry or Demon's Souls 2, 3, etc) and Dark Souls on all platforms.
I doubt either will stop here.

IIRC he actually hinted at 3:
1) SCEJ x FROM
2) A smaller scale JRPG
3) A FF AAA JRPG.
Lol, funny enough I just started Demon's Souls. I read I needed that for the armored spider. I just ran up and stabbed him in his face a lot. *shrug*
Castlevania inspired sounds great, and from FROM too. ahhhh
Not really, seeing as GAF doesn't really have that big of a COD fanbase. Or it's better to say, GAF doesn't have that vocal of a cod fanbase. It's hardly anything to get excited about anyways since we know there's a new game each year.

CoD is, at least for me, old and tired at this point. Hard to care about it and I'm sure many others feel the same on this forum.
