I love that webm with the structure in the background. One of the best things about the Souls series is seeing something in the background that you know you can walk up to and explore.

this thread is about people being excited for this game being real. not a DF analysis.

Eh, be that as it may, there was some noticeable tearing in one of the gifs. Also, in the gif leading up to that demon, there is some noticeable "lag" (if it can be called such).

Worth pointing out. No need to hide it. Obviously who knows at what point these tidbits were yoinked from?
 
Question:

I have yet to see this in the the evidence presented yet, but are we positive this is an exclusive?

I know obviously that given the demon souls/fromsoftware/sony history this is a strong possibility.

But just curious where this has come up in the leaked info.

Dedicated protagonist? More focused story (not necessarily more in your face, but PC is involved).
I'll take any development of plot and character.

I loved playing Demon's Souls, but the complete lack of character, narrative, and plot developments was so disappointing.

How do people think the shotgun/melee weapon/shield will work out? Any combo of the two or no shield in this game or what?
It could just be like he's got a crossbow in the left hand.

I would be surprised to see no 'traditional' Souls options.

It's exclusive, DemonNite was talking about it for months and the person who leaked it said it was.

Im saying what until theres actual gameplay to look at instead of webm's from someone's leaked stream that they managed to sit in on. It could be a number of different factors not having to do with the game at all.

I'm just saying Demon's never had a screen tearing problem come launch. No need to hide that and do this concern trolling.

Do you really think putting this together they couldn't find twenty seconds of footage with a constant frame rate with no screen tearing?

For sure. These leaks aren't representative of anything (just look at the Project Trico trailer).

But I don't think it's trolling, though. Just something worth pointing out. People are a on edge/worried given their really high expectations of this series.

All we know is what the actual leaker of the footage wrote on 4chan:

Project Beast.

From Software. Sony Japan Studios.

Sony Playstation 4.

Not to mention several insiders mentioning/hinting/outright saying it's an exclusive game.

They'll be running these on very powerful PCs. No way it's going to have screen tearing.

Even then, I still agree with you. Who knows at what point these bits of footage were taken from (could be from a proof-of-concept), early footage, work-in-progress, who knows? It may even be the source itself (i.e. the video player was choppy).

Rain King, give me more credit. I'm not that dumb. :3

Okay soz. Hopefully we'll see the real deal at E3.

Oh I'm sorry, I was under the impression that NeoGaf is made up of techies and industry professionals who like discussing things like framerates and resolutions... I guess that's not the case?

MY BAD

There's a time and a place. We don't have footage to compare this to itself yet, either. I'm sure they'll be PLENTY of analysis once we have this footage and some newer footage.
 
Y'know, what if we're wrong in thinking this a spiritual successor to Demon's and this in fact a spiritual successor to the magnificent Nightmare Creatures?

A man can dream. A man can dream...

Simple question: Why does everyone assume this is PS4 only?

When it´s from "FROM Software" then it should be multi, as most of their games before ???

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

Demon's Souls is a From Software/Sony game...as this is supposed to be as well. Also DemonNite (a user here) has hinted at this for months.

1. Have you bothered looking at the posts above you?
2. This game would most likely not exist at all if Sony didn't fund it.

I disagree, not every game needs a protagonist. The Soul series should continue to have as character creator and tell its story through the level design, npcs and text. People who want cinematic story telling with protagonist should try the Uncharted series which I too love, not all experiences should be the same.

Omg, read like any page of this thread where the insider info and whatnot has been parroted to oblivion for people that don't know the use of a scroll slider on their mouse.

It's a leaked 15 second trailer. Do you really think it's appropriate to judge a game's graphics based on a quarter of a minute worth of gameplay that wasn't supposed to be seen by the public?

Not worth pointing out. Not one bit.

DemonNite works for Sony, for those of you that don't know.

He's (she's?) been hinting about a project related to Demon's Souls (whether in spirit, or a direct sequel, he didn't specify) for a while now.
 
For those wondering about exclusivity, I'll reiterate my statement from a couple of pages ago... The original leaks have come attached to the message that the game is developed by FROM and Sony Japan Studios. And that it's PS4 exclusive. The leak came with that from the outset. How the fuck is there still any doubt about that piece of it while the rest is so believable? Please don't let wishful thinking lead you to willful dismissal of a major component of these leaks.
 
Hmm. Looks pretty cool.
I haven't played the Souls series for more than a total of 10 minutes, so I don't know much about what makes this cool except the scythe-blade thing. Which is rad.

*shrugs* It's just an observation. Obviously I'm not advocating making foregone conclusions based on leaked footage.
