I believe the original post was a legit meltdown.
Its also nice that it will be made from the ground up for the more technically capable console.
Thats with all sequels. More of the same or improvments that turn out to be actual steps backwards. DS2 suffered from absence of many devs that made DS1 and Demons Souls and Dark Souls were the entry to the series for most of the supporters, so expectiations were always ridiculously high. That's why I hope FROM releases Souls related games every 3 years to avoid fatigue as much as possible.

This is another one of those areas where we get to see how Sony is thinking.
Do they make this a PS4 Exclusive and sell systems with it or do they make it available on the PS3 and go for the cash with the larger install base.
Hopefully this stays on the PS4...
Not going to happen, like I said before Sony mostly moved on.

if they were going for the larger install bases Killzone,Knack,Infamous would have all been for PS3 as well.
I'm pretty sure this will be PS4 only.
There's no way it's on PS3.

Or, ideally, bury the Soul franchise and work on a whole new IP altogether.
Too many sequels have killed more than its share of fine game series; I wish companies and especially players were more open to risk and novelty.
I honestly believe that Sony will go 100% PS4. The PS3 just got DkS2.
Not sure I understand why you link to that member, but that beautiful post was hand crafted by Amir0x in a flash of genius, not that dude.
Unless....

Pretty sure Sony learned their lesson from GT6.
The rumor is that this is co developed by SCE so it would be an exclusive but I don't understand why anyone would sincerely wish this. More players!
I don't get this, especially when it comes to a series as gameplay focused as Souls that people re-play many times over.
There is nothing else like the series on the market and I would rather get more of the same instead of nothing at all.
Makes some changes to the formula? Sure. Maybe work on another IP along side it? Why not.
Kill it and go for something completely new? No thanks.
lol, would read again
He means no PS3, not no PC/XBO. As in he doesn't want the game produced with 500mb ram limitations in mind.
Well obviously having it be an exclusive means it's of higher quality on the PS4 platform as the devs can focus on that specific hardware.
I know it sucks that fewer people are going to be able to play it, but being exclusive to Sony also means decent budget, dev time and freedom. Shu himself said they dropped the ball with Demon's, so I'm pretty confident that they'll handle this one really well.

Have you played other From Software games besides Demon/Dark Souls ? It's more what I had in mind. Keep the focus on the gameplay, redo/change anything else.
I don't want the Souls series to become the new CoD/AssCreed series, it deserves better.

Shit. I've been avoiding this thread, and decided to peak.
1. Looks awesome. I can't wait to see what this is and may turn out to be.
2. Holy bitterness, Batman. So many bitter posts here, its insane.

People are wishing for more Souls games. The fact that it's exclusive just means that Sony paid for its development and also assisted in its development. Exclusive games are not a new concept.
Samendolaro is just merely saying that he'd prefer the game to be on PS4 and not on PS3 as well.
Judging by the DemonNite and Verendus, as well as the screenshots, the game is a PS4 exclusive.
I sure hope they dont change strategy and release this on ps3 and ps4. Sony needs yo lead by example. They need to show third parties they can makr money if yhey drop last gen.
lmao Nice one....
Seems like you won't buy any FS games in the future ;-)

Its not a wish, the question is does Sony want to sell hardware with it.
Microsoft made the mistake of not making Titanfall Exclusive only to the XB1, (they likely couldn't afford it since it was not their IP) But what ended up happening was that most people bought it on PC or for their 360.
Making this exclusive to the PS4 will make this a system seller so if Sony wants to expand its install base then PS4 exclusivity is the way to go.
11/10 Could read daily.
Marketing and profit decisions. People love their sequels and only a handfull of core gamers are really the ones claiming change or novelty. Something new or risky has the same chance to fial and get rejected by the people as a sequel. With latter you know what the majority expect and have established tools already, production is in line with the project.

fat official needs to come back
I love how Penetrator just walks in with the fat official impaled on his sword.

No King's Field ? No Shadow Tower ? No Armored Core ?
Pity.
I wholeheartedly agree - It's especially manifest every time a new Kickstarter project claims to be 'game X meeting game Y'.
Damn, I was getting really hyped by this idea of a SF/Blame! game from some pages ago... ^^;;
I just watched a bunch of videos of KF4, that game looks like it's running at a quarter the speed it should. I really struggle to believe that's an enjoyable game.

yes, I was blown away when I saw that scene the first time.

Blunderbusses with 1 or 2 shots equivalent to a heavy miracle/sorcery/hex cast that are both difficult to connect with and leave you super open could be amazing.
You should also be able to shoot yourself in the foot if your timing is off.

This is a great strategy to fuck you over in business. There's nothing personal between Sony and From. I've said at least once that I don't really see why From would want to go back unless Sony is willing to really pay up due to how things went and how well going multiplat did for them. Guess they did! No reason to get that mad about it yet.
Now if they decided to split up two teams to just make similar Souls games, essentially taking away from both experiences in the interest of shelling out more product, yeah then I'll be incredibly disappointed.

It IS a good game, especially if you like mysterious and moody games. Great OST, too.

Yes, the game is deliberately slow and focus on tactics and positionning. You can't expect to rush things, kill them and survive.
Idk about shooting yourself on the foot
P) but yea, i agree. There's nothing OP about a shotgun, it can act exactly like a staff, have limited shots you attune ammo types to and would be 'lock on and cast' instead of 'reload an kill everything' as some are thinking.- Status
