If they were going to change the name of Soul Sacrifice so soon after that conference, and so soon after posting English videos calling the game "Soul Sacrifice," that begs the question of why they didn't mention that at the time. Seems like they would be asking for confusion. Then again I guess this stuff happens all the time.
Guess we'll find out eventually.

Trying to ride on the recent SOULS games success by name association?
Ask any random nerd on the street what company made dark Souls, and they will tell you Atlus.

SCEA passed on Demon's Souls in the first place, so it's not like their head has ever been in the right place regarding the franchise.
But nobody knew Demon's would become such a cult hit. Even all the pre-release showings were seen as crap. If Sony published a new Souls game, I really doubt SCEA would pass.
They will come up with Soma. Ha!
Forsaking something means giving up or relinquishing something too, so I think it can fit with the theme.

SCEA: We shouldve published Demons Souls
They admitted they were wrong.
I have a feeling we'll see an E3 reveal of a Souls game of some sort....believe....

It also has connotations of being forgotten or abandoned, too, though - in Soul Sacrifice, you are giving up people for a very specific and presumably important purpose. The only "forsaken" things in the game from what I can tell would be the monsters themselves, especially if you do choose to sacrifice them after beating them.

I'd like to see From Software's reaction on the sidelines if they did that
I know Sony owns the ip, but if the game turns out similar to From's game,
They'll definitely be like -________-;
Sony could easily do a similar game if they wanted, since From used Sony's own Phyre engine for both souls games.
I just think it's a lot more likely that SCEA did some stupid focus group testing or surveys or whatever and found people responded better to Forsaken Souls than Soul Sacrifice. I'm sure that's why Gravity Daze got changed to Gravity Rush, too.
I'll take it!
I'll take this too!
Probably a name change, but that is still a little odd after the videos and stuff calling it Soul Sacrifice. Seems like dropping the important word there would give them pause. - It is interesting to think Sony would do something with an IP that sold so well for them. Vita could desperately use it, especially if Ruin turns out to be a bust. But a simple Demon's Souls 2 would probably do well for them. From is confusing lately, so who knows if they're available. Wouldn't mind seeing SCEJ try their hand at it. But I'd really want/expect much better level design in any game carrying on the Demon's Souls title.
If it is a pseudo-sequel to Demon's Souls:
1) Please, Gods both old and new, not on Vita or any other portable. Souls is big boys' big TV gaming. Needs atmosphere to work; portables can't do atmosphere. Plus, you just know Sony would shoehorn some rear touchscreen/tilt/AR bullshit into it, and Souls don't wear that.
2) Come on, dudes, can't you call it Damned Souls instead?

Okay, give me an example of a portable game that has a similar atmosphere to Demon's or Dark Souls.
Take your time, I'll wait.

If it is indeed a Demon's Souls sequel, I don't know why would the drop the 'Demon's' part of the name. Since it is their own IP and not like Dark Souls situation so they can just put a 2 at the end. Especially considering all the good reception and huge fan-base that name garnered.
Anyway I'll continue buying 'Souls' games day one until my Soul can no more be mended!

I think everyone is not paying attention to the elephant in the room.
where does FROM SOFTWARE ( the ones who are the creative developers of the SOUL series and basically are the driving force for the atmosphere/gameplay/EVERYTHANG) fit into all this.
Sony making a semi-sequel (even though dark souls is an aspect of it) might not rub FROM the right way. and as we all know, Sony is in no position to be making enemies at this point in time.

Sony have no qualsm with passing IP's to different devs....
When they are for portable consoles. If FROM are not involved, and it is a 'Souls' game. Then Vita it is.

who can they pass it on to that won't take a digital dump on the established status quo?

Sadly, I'm not sure that they care.
I am pretty sure some devs woud love to snap that up though, if given the chance.
My money would be on Ready at Dawn.

I doubt it, they're working on a next gen new ip.

The thread title says Sony has a domain, but the tweet makes no mention of a domain. Sony doesn't own ForsakenSouls.com

"****** Souls" titles should only be from the Demon/Sark Souls series from now on like the "Tales of ****" games.
If this ends up being the case, even my expectations would be dashed.

Probably just the localized name for Soul Sacrifice, which is unfortunate because it already had a nice ring to it made for a decent logo.
Still, I wouldn't mind it being an internally developed Demon's Souls sequel, even if that post was a joke. From probably isn't going to do anything with the IP, so maybe Sony doing their own thing with it wouldn't hurt. Never hurts to have more exclusives, and they're really lacking in the RPG department.

Corpse Party. Took me about 4 seconds, to be fair.
The point is moot since a sequel won't happen but Sony owns the IP for Folklore/Folksoul.
But I wish it would happen...

"Mooorreeeee...... More SOOOUUUUULLLSSSSSSSS"
Right now, they recently put out Gundam Unicorn for the PS3 and are currently working on Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor for 360 and the PC port of Dark Souls.
In addition to what Ridley 327 said, they are very likely another game in the vein of Demon's/Dark Souls.
Not even close.
