UPDATE FROM GAMINGEVERYTHING
- Character walked around, fought enemies-
- Giant “mindflayer” type enemy
- Character is shown placing a shining magic sword into a pedestal at the base of a statue
- A huge pyromancy fireball
- Shotguns
- There was text “This is a nightmare.”

sorry if old

Old because it was probably taken from this thread, and it most likely originated from the 4chan post.

Video game websites do not break news on leaks. They take from 4Chan, GAF, and Reddit.

I can't believe this is happening! So glad I already have a PS4, all I have to do now is wait for the game. Good things come to those who wait.

Looks different enough to the Majula entrance...

Time to close the book on that theory.

Comparing it like this makes it clear its not a game from the same gen, so PS4 after all.

Right from the OP :)
 
Seriously though, I can't see this not being on Xbone at some point.

It seems like Japanese companies are so hard up atm, they wouldn't make a big single platform exclusive like this. I know FROM are doing comparatively well, but still...

Sony does not publish games on the XB1.

Also, where were you when Capcom gave away the publishing rights to Dead Rising 3 (as well as their wholly owned developer) to MS to make it exclusive to the XB1? If Sony is paying for it, From is willing to develop.

I can't find a picture of the entrance to Majula.

How can you even tell that from the blurriness of the pictures?

You know guys I want this to be real, Demon's Souls was my favorite game of the last generaiton.. but I'm a bit skeptical.. on a number of things..

You either provide proof of what you said, or you keep quiet, unless you want to risk being banned for it. It's that simple.

Could someone explain to me why exactly From would make another Demon's Soul game? Don't they own Dark Souls? Aren't they better off building up their own franchise rather than contributing to the success of one they don't own?

In any case, if true, I'm disappointed I won't get to play on PC, but this'll probably be the catalyst for me getting a PS4. This came out of left field for me.
 
Reminds of Resident Evil 4 as well.

The pic with the people with the torches and that zombie dog.

Let me explain. Money.

Who said anything about it being another Demon's Souls games? It seems DemonNite indicated that it's a spinoff and that it's quite different from the Souls games.

Guys, we're all wrong, they just announced that this is Dark Slash, and it's not a gun in his hands, it's a guitar that he uses to rock out and flay the minds of those who aren't gnarly enough to understand his greatness.

Victorian is way too modern for this game's look. Swords were all but abandoned by victorian era.

Sabres were used in warfare until well into the 20th century, not just for show either. That's not to mention this is a dark fantasy, a real world comparison timeline isn't especially important.

Jobs are good in general, regardless of entertainment needs. You a student?

No just a 30 year old unemployed lazy bum that quitted a shitty job because i hated it, i shit you not i would bear getting job if it means playing this new game.
Anyway i wonder how the combat works since you could wield guns now.

There could be a lot of reasons, anything we post is just stabs in the dark, but Sony are willing to spend a lot of money, maybe more than rival publishers in this instance, they're willing to allow developers a lot of control, more than most, and they can provide more tech support for their platform than anyone else.

From are going to get a real optimized and title shipped next-gen engine and asset suite out of this presumably, that's extremely valuable for developing DS3.

They now have 2 franchises they can sell...one of which no doubt subsidised by sony, so less risk for them if it doesn't sell as many as dark souls.

It will be interesting to see how it would sell in comparison to dark souls though, if it sold better maybe it would encourage 3rd party exclusivity for more studio's?

Could be multiple reasons.
Getting the funding they wanted.
Getting the creative freedom they wanted.
Sony helping with tech for this game.
Maybe they like working with Sony. (who knows)

Dark Souls wouldn't exist if FromSoft never made any partnership with SCEJ that resulted Demon's Souls. FromSoft and SCEJ is like old pal, now wonder if they make another collaboration this time.

Yosp begged on his hands and knees and apologized for not localizing it in the West.

Now Sony just announce that a Gravity Rush for PS4 is in the making and Gravity Rush 2 for Vita.

The Souls series has been pretty much a renowned success for From and Miyazaki

This isn't confirmed to be a Demon's Souls sequel, more or less a new entry in the Souls series that is inspired by Demon's Souls (if you've played both games you'll know how different they really are)

Shuhei Yoshida (President of Sony WWS) is a big fan of the Souls games. And in interviews where Demon's Souls is even brought up he talks about regretting not publishing the game outright. He's gotten further into Dark Souls 2 than I have.

Absolutely. Nito is quick, already beat me to claiming the OT! Oh well, it will be great nonetheless.

I just hope and pray this is legit.

Indeed. I'm sure you would have done a great OT as well, plus, you can both work together, that would make the OT even better! But there's still a lot of time before that happen.

I just need my GAF-E3-Hype-Cofee soon. :)
