hype rising...
love the part about sacrificing other player. hehehe, start to think it's a survival gameplay where if things get rough, you can try to kill other player for powerful magic.
I should be doing hw

Actually SCEJ was heavily involved in developing DS. I think I read somewhere they wanted that art style. It's just that fan girls believe FROm is so special they did it all on their own.

I guess we can assume that this will be mission based, and from the backstory, I assume it'll have story, reliving the story of past fight sounds great. you'll get the story bit by bit of what happened in the past, I assume it'll lead to be the cruel magician's past and you confront him in the end maybe even taking his place in the end.
it'll be great if your character can be recorded if you lost and they'll become enemy in other people's game.

I'm thinking like once you activate the magic, there's a goal you have to fulfill like maybe kill a certain amount of enemies etc, if you fulfill it, it'll restore your body part, if not, you lose it forever. I don't know what's the stake of losing limbs though, it's not like we as the player can't see the game when you sacrifice your eye.

This looks pretty dumb, Gus.

That would be retarded, and would also nullify the impact of the sacrifices in the character development, i mean, going by the info, the point is to find a "balance" between power and mutations, using powerful magic corrupts your body, if you use too much the outcome should be you becoming one of the same creatures you are fighting.
I dunno, the idea is cool, but would be great if some of the sacrifices had a real impact in your character body and development, if you sacrifice your fingers, you gain an ability, and that ability remains usable to you, but your fingers are gone forever, the same for every part you are willing to give in exchange for magic.
The idea of buying spines and eyes in the same way you can buy ammo in action games is beyond dumb.
Exactly! I expect a lot of dark humor in this game

I don't want any dark humor in this. the backstory and art looks bleak and depressing as hell. I kinda like that. your character is about to be sacrificed by your master and you desperately try to survive going as far as sacrificing your body parts to do it. it's really dark, and twisted. I hope they treat is seriously and not go for MK humor
But if it's too serious the game will limit it's possible target audience tho. It's already limiting it due to it's grim nature
say what? So you don't mind god of war or bayonetta where you're ripping limbs of other people but to do it to yourself is abhorrent?
Talk about double-standards....
I'd also love if you lost your soul and become a monster then other players have to fight a super-monstified you Old Monk stylees
I am a bit worried after hearing all this and being in Australia though - kinda fear it'll get the MK treatment

No, please, no, grim and serious tone, the more the better

with a premise like that, Sony knows what it getting itself into.
also, even though they have an artwork that's kinda gory, we don't know if the actual animation in the game will bet that graphic, unless the camera zoomed in while you're doing the sacrifice, I think the game won't look that offputting.
and these self sacrifice magic is only for the uber powerful magic, there's still the standard magic that I imagine will be more often used in the game.

Completely agree with you.
I would rather have a game with an interesting premise like this than some MonHun clone or variant of some popular game I already couldn't care less about just for the sake of being popular, sales figures be damned. I find the whole obsession with sales figures by people who don't even live in Japan to be particularly weird as it just takes on another (quite large) layer of irrelevancy.
I'll wait for footage and the like before making a judgment either way but from what I've heard today about this game I am quite excited to find out more about it. More so than what if what being rumored about the game before today actually ended up being true.

So Inafune is really in there? Fuck yes.
I remember reading something about Sony's aim demographic for the Vita being pretty old...
This.

Sounds very interesting should the vita ever drop to my price range and this comes over i'll probably pick it up.

I really like the sound of this now. It's taken a turn for the sick and twisted and has ended up coming across more intriguing as a result. I hope the atmosphere is positively thick with all kinds of unsettling perversion.
Plus any game that scares off all the weeaboos is shirley doing God's work.

God of War is gorey, but it isn't disgusting. The scan I saw looks plain disgusting. I really don't think they should have focused on the sacrifice mechanic and wierd art if they wanted mass appeal.

The scan you saw is concept art, we'll see if it will be that graphic in the game, the gorgon artwork is not that gory imo.
As for the concept, I think the concept sounds very interesting

THANKS!
Goddamit guys, I tought you guys were gamers, not Sony shareholders.
EDIT: Also, where did Sony even said they wanted to use this game to have mass appeal?

Well spine sword is pretty much a cliche at this point but the idea of reaching into your own mouth to grab one is at least somewhat unique.

Are we expecting trailer and more info anytime soon?

Trailer should be up by tonight, I think.

I was thinking about how to make sacrafices not permament and they could use a Promethean myth with hero being cursed/under spell which restores his body at night but still feeling pain.
Going by this:

It sounds like the main character won't actually be fighting and instead will be living out the recorded memories of historically significant mages through the animus. In such a case, maybe you play as a different mage each mission/chapter and mutilations will only be permanent for the duration of said mission/chapter.
