I wonder before releasing this, they'd put out a remaster of Demon's Souls in 1080p/60fps as a sweetener to tide us over.
Both franchises used to look and play so good until Naughty Dog and Insomniac left the franchises.

They forget about it
They still have plenty to announce, and I feel like even if they did plan to just show UC, DC, some HD Remasters and Beast Souls, they can't rely on that anymore.
This is the first real E3 of the generation, they both have to go all out and set the tone for the next few years. Obviously they can't announce things like GoW4 which are three years away, but they could and should reveal quite a lot.
And of course, as Y2Kev so enjoys reminding us, they have TLG.
The framerate and tearing is because the trailer wasn't meant for public display. No way anyone will show a scene with that much tearing in a trailer.

Have you tried any of the Souls games?

Truetrue. I wonder if they'll do what they did last year too and let some third parties have the floor for their reveals?
But yeah, I'm wondering if this conference will be on the level of last year's in terms of moments. IMO, Microsoft had the better conference, but the power of No Used Games and FFXV/KH3 reveals will live far longer than, for example, the absolutely out of nowhere reveal of Killer Instinct
So I'd say TLG + Beast Souls are the 2 megatons we were going to get from them. Maybe 1 or 2 more?
Or Y2Kev is speaking truth and TLG is deader than dead
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Are there no games out there you're passionate about?

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
i can not wait until e3 however if this is their last megaton they are showing and we roughly know of everything else colour me disappointed
Yeah, I played Demon's Souls in 2009. I didn't finish it because I wasn't compelled as the people that were NG+ing it like crazy.
Unfortunately not. I can think of a few combinations of ideas and developers that would get me stoked but they are fever dreams.

Give me MM or 60$ LBP over GG's or GOW reboot and I'm with you. Maybe 2-3 indies like newgamecompany

They really need to consider this,a 1080p60 Demon's Souls would fucking rock!
Although I think Sony's show last year was really weak, they also essentially did half the show in February. If they'd kept KZ, Knack and DC for E3, it would have been a stronger show.Truetrue.

I can't see any 'no used games' type things, MS just isn't fucking it up hard enough for Sony to have any free hits. They can brag about selling more consoles, or having had the right position from the start, but people would just read it as arrogance.
Games are really the only thing that matters this time. They could announce Morpheus' name, specs and release date, but that's the only 'initiative' type thing I think we might see. They'll probably have a notable third party exclusive, Persona 5 or whatever, some hot shit indie thing, Miegakure maybe, but it really should just be a barrage of first party PS4 games, everything else is secondary.
I imagine they'll spend way too much time on third party stuff, I can already feel my eyes rolling at ten minutes of Destiny. AssCreed and Batman too probably. I'd love to know the logic behind featuring third party games so heavily, other than failing to make up the time without them.

I believe there is a distinction between money hatting and funding.
I don't think Microsoft funded Titanfall - they money hatted EA. But they're funding Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break. Same way Sony is funding Project Beast.

I thought the term money hatting was used to describe a publisher/developer being paid to release an already existing game project as exclusive.
Bingo.

It is... well at least the official site says so... I tweeted Heavy Spectrum to see if I get some reply.

How did From Software get away from Sony's lawyers by releasing an almost identical game with a very similar name (Dark Souls), was it ever explained?

Moneyhatting is a very different thing from publishing.
Moneyhatting is where a 3rd party is paid to keep it's game away from a competing platform (see: Titanfall).
EDIT: Beaten by several others...

somethings i do wonder about, this game must have started development soon after dark souls 1. people managed to figure out how the teams were divided judging from dark souls 2 credits.
so the deal for exclusivity i feel would occur far before the next gen consoles were released. someone definitely had the foresight at sony to push for a game like this. maybe idle people at SCEJ. In a post dark souls market it makes sense that it would have been multiplatform but the timing of whatever the deal was, makes sense why it would have happened the way it happened.
also visually it does seem a step up from their previous games so its possible that maybe from software uses co-development to essentially leap frog their tech from shared R&D.
From software was also recently acquired by Kadokawa so i wonder how that affects future and even current games in development. E3 is so close :3

Wait, did I miss a confirmation of something or are we all just assuming that this is the project that SCE Japan is working on with From?

Maybe you didn't gave it enough time?
I'm not saying that you had an obligation to like it but sometimes these games take time until they "click" with you.
But when they do...you become a fan for life.
Except in this case, they're co-developing.
They did both. Funded completion which give them 13 months exclusive then moneyhatted around E3 as full MS exclusive.
