As has been at the core of our development philosophy since Demons Souls, we make true games for people who love games.
Do people think this will help move PS4s in Japan?
Nope, save for a Morpheus LovePlus with Final Fantasy girls, consoles are done in Japan.Do people think this will help move PS4s in Japan?

"keeping the deep strategic elements from Demons Souls, while also transitioning from the passive and block-and-attack style of Demons Souls to a quicker, more offensive and active combat style with close-range weapons and guns."
My preferred play-style in the Souls games was and is aggressive, no-shield play, so this is pretty much music to my ears.
Let this remove any doubt that this was an exclusive. There was so much denial in the Kotaku comments section
What tje fick does this even meanThrowing your new wool game under the bus I see, classy stuff.
I'm wondering about the leaked footage we saw. It seems like like this was a Souls game at one point.
The "more active but still deadly" combat makes it sound like security blanket shields are gone... Guess we're gonna have to GIT GUD or die trying. I'll probably be doing a lot of the latter.

More enemies in encounters are going to inherently reduce the viability of shields anyway. With staggered attacks in groups, the windows for attacking are much more restrictive.

We all saw the leaked gameplay teaser... Despite the shotgun, I still want the gameplay to be 'slow' like the Soul Series, that's what made it unique. Don't know if a faster pace will ruin it. Keeping an open mind here though.

It appears that shields are still in the game, even though it's sort of implied that we will see less of them. One of the enemies on the left side of the bonfire is clearly holding a shield.
I can't wait to rest there!
That leaked video was old.
I told you guys you won't need to worry about the visuals. Game is going to be awesome looking
At this point, any Japanese made game that's semi-big is going to help move PS4's in Japan. In fact, any kind of release is going to help PS4's in Japan. There is literally nothing to get other than cross-gen multiplatform western made games for them.
Also, changing up the combat to more twitch based and aggressive (i.e, kill them before they kill you) approach is great.
Dark Souls 2 was becoming too much of a "get a decent shield" let them attack, watch for the stagger and take em out approach.
Love the atmosphere, they're nailing that dark and gothic mood.
Also nice to have confirmation that it's really a From developed game - they still can't render fur for shit. :lol

This looks bonkers. Bloodborne will make me get a PS4. Early 2015... Not too far off either.
Am I the only one who thought this was going to be some sort of Nightmare Creatures reboot?
The Souls games and Dragon's Dogma sold well there.
