Ginko Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I mentioned this briefly in the Dark Souls II thread but I thought I'd make a new topic for this as some new footage has shown up and so it can be discussed separately from DSII now more information about it is leaking. Here's a pretty decent summary from Souls game nut VaatiVidya that shows the clips and discusses them in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxy-b0i7864 Seems this could be a PS4 exclusive too. In a video made a few weeks ago, Vaati talks about how this may be a Demon's Souls sequel since it appears to be a Sony exclusive and they own the Demon's Souls IP, hence why they made Dark Souls so they could multi-platform and have more control over the game. I'm not sure myself. Demon's Souls was very much set in a medieval age much like Dark Souls is, whereas the footage from Beast gives the impression the game is set much more recently in history, especially now that guns have been confirmed as a featured weapon. I know there's a few Dark Souls aficionados here on VT that will be keeping their eyes on this one, so here's a thread to talk about it and to post relevant news as and when it comes about. Here's the first VaatiVidya video he posted a few weeks ago too, if anyone hasn't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M2Y-R18Mo0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 By all accounts Hidetaka Miyazaki the mastermind behind Demon's Souls and Dark Souls I wasn't involved in the making of Dark Souls II because he was working on a secret project and it looks as though this is it. Great news, because looking back I think he was greatly missed from DkS2, which is the weakest of the three. Exciting though, I have absolutely no intention of buying a Ps4, but would probably get one for this if it is an exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I don't think it's a souls game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Please be a new engine. I just hate the movement in dark souls, it's just odd and feels really weird to me. Maybe I don't get it but I am still hoping they change that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Any mentionings of this at E3? I heard that there was a chance this might be revealed and they we would know whether or not this was a souls game. Side note, konami is releasing their own version of a souls game this year I believe. It actually looks decent. I will be purchasing a ps4 and I hear this would be a ps4 exclusive.

P3te Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'd expect to see Project Beast during Sony's conference later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yeah, if it's anywhere it'll be in the Sony conference which starts 5:30pm PDT, so 1:30am for us. Basically in two and a half hours time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I am in Texas right now so I'll try to tune in and see if there is any mentioning then report here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I don't think it's a souls game. Dammit I was right. Bloodborne is the name. Not demon souls II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Yeah, makes sense given the fantasy Victorian-esque era it seems to be set in. Looks amazing though I can't find a way to edit the thread title, I assume only Mods can do that right? Any Mods reading fancy changing the thread title to Bloodborne?

Czechlad Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Still probably going to be amazing since it's by Miyazaki. Probably will have the same terrifying adventuring feel as Demon/Dark souls. Have to wait till next year though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah, really looks like it's shaping up nicely. Looks a lot darker, gorier and creepier than Demon's and Dark Souls. I really love the Gothic, 18th Century, Georgian, Industrial Revolution aesthetic too, and those werewolves and the monster at the end looked awesome!

Rino8 Posted August 23, 2014 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2014 The actual gameplay they show is a bit of a joke though, it's just blocking and walking backwards from various things. Suppose those games are very hard to sell with gameplay footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 said elsewhere, needs to be a little less DS and a little more DMC for me to enjoy it, will be giving it a go, expecting it to review about 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
