Shadow Tower yes, Abyss don't think so.
Edit : what you said
How so ?
Because this thread has only existed 3 days
Pretty flimsy tbh.

Yep. By the same logic we could say it's a Dark Souls game because the As match.
I'm willing to bet this will play more like a Souls game than a Shadow Tower game.
If this is legit, this is the first next gen exclusive (aside from the Wii U, which has plenty) that would actually persuade me to buy a console. While I'd prefer it on PC as always, if Sony is getting us either a Demon Souls sequel or the next big jump in the franchise, I'm fine with supporting them.
Vaati (and probably plenty others- haven't read this massive thread through) is speculating a Victorian aesthetic, which I could certainly buy for Souls, as long as they retain the specific brand of English so strongly associated with the series thus far. I kind of hope they do go in this direction now that I've seen him talk about it. Looking forward to E3.

Some of you guys are looking way too much into these fonts, it's just fonts FROM Software are fond off and use.
On the subject of fonts, I hope they go with a more unique and 'customized' title like with Demon's instead of Dark:
I think the project Beast font looks good. Hope they stick with this font in the final version of the title.
I hope it isn't a new Shadow Tower game, I want a first person Shadow Tower instead.

Again, Demon's Souls probably had the best example of a title font for one of the Souls games, but the one they keep showing for Project Beast seems like nice middle ground between both.
What's the current consensus on Beast Souls/Beast's Souls as the name? I personally don't care for it but Demon's Souls 2 wouldn't be much better really

Personally I don't mind Beast Souls or Demon's Souls 2, but I just want them to keep "souls" part.
Deep in the bowls of this thread I believe people showed some theory based on DemonNite's posts that it's actually called Bloodborne.
I prefer Beast Soul or Beast Souls. But if Sony's looking to make this their next big franchise, I think they'll rename it entirely.

Unless its a JP OG PS3, then yeah you wont be able to play the original JP PS2 version of Shadow Tower Abyss as its still region locked.
Also for bored people went and recorded some Shadow Tower Abyss footage today. Along with Kings Field IV footage. Both is from the start of the game so dont expect super exciting stuff lol. One thing for sure ST: Abyss is much harder with how the mechanics are in general.

Exactly.
Whatever game Project Beast ends up being, it will not be merely exclusive to PlayStation consoles, it'll be PS4 only.

if Sony decides to name it differently and have a changed up Souls game then they'll have two Souls series under their belt
maybe they want to have that

Shadow Tower and its sequel look like some hardcore shit, right up my alley.
Might dig around for a way to play them too.
Might dig around for a way to play them too.
while i don't have complaints on the gameplay side (From always deliver), i still can't understand how a rather small and unknown company like Deck13 can achieve similar gameplay but with true next gen graphics while From doesn't (apparently even with Japan Studio's help) on the same machine.
Not that i'm a graphic whore or something but man, a Souls game with this graphical fidelity would improve immersion so much (on the animation/physics sides too).
Hope to prove wrong at E3, i'll gladly eat graphic crows.

I'm honestly jealous of the people that are super hyped for this. I couldn't get into Demon's
Yes. And still there is a lot of people playing it.

I wonder how. To me, it was so much better than Dark Souls. It took way longer to get started, that's all I'd say about it.
Nice, thanks.
It is too difficult to make a good guess about the framerate, due to YT, emulation and everything, but is King's Field IV / The Ancient City around 60 fps or around 30 fps when played on an actual PS2 ?

it sucks to get a phone call while playing these games lol, you can't pause. and the enemies are relentless.
Wow, PS4? I think this officially seals in my choice of next-gen console.
Playing through DS2 right now, it feels like what AC Brotherhood felt to ACII: a perfection of an already amazing game. Here's to hoping that Project Beast takes the souls series in a completely novel direction!

They are two of my favorite non-AC From games. Thanks you a lot for taking the time to promote them

I always pick up the phone and the caller gets whatever they get but I ain't gonna stop, especially during a boss battle.
I got a call fighting
the pursuer
It was him.
The Ancient City targeted 30 FPS but had plenty of framerate drops. It was definitely a From Software game in that regard.
Eternal Ring, a PS2 launch title and kinda-sorta spinoff to King's Field, actually ran at a fairly consistent 60.

Circle to the right. Had the same thing happen to me and I ended up spending a good two minutes just holding the controller in one hand and keeping my finger on the stick to constantly move behind his shield.... Really grateful they decided he didn't need as good tracking as basic hollows have

Im the last person you really should be asking about frame rates, since as long as its not a slideshow dont really care.
It was played on an OG JP PS3, using the original PS2 disc.

People kept asking about ST:A so figured might as well make a vid showing something from it.
Damn the Souls series needs dismemberment. Not just for you against enemies but if you get killed. Just fizzing away does not feel like a massive loss.

^Thanks for the info on From's PS2 games.

So more people is starting to believe it's a Shadow Tower sequel now? Kinda funny since I got quickly dismissed when suggesting it earlier.

Doesnt fit the setting really from what we have seen here in pics. Since firearms do not suddenly = shadow tower. They exist in the game yes, but its not the main point of the series itself.
TheNamelessOne

To be honest. How much of the setting can we gather from those pictures? Also, the Shadow Tower games span between many different settings.
EDIT: Granted, guns by no means equal Shadow Tower. Howvever, it fits the ST-setting a whole lot better than than the DS-setting, wouldn't you say?
Probably less since it would drown in the noise from all the other announcements.
Too much trial and error and character progression was too obtuse. After that my PS3 died so I lost my progression. I really enjoyed the setting and feel of combat but it felt like the game discouraged exploration and exerimentation.

That is a pretty safe bet dude. I honestly can't see them eschewing that name for this title when it is CLEARLY drawing inspriration from the propr titles.

I'm pretty sure it will. The Souls following has become quite large. See this thread for instance..
It would be a missed opportunity to not include Souls in the title. Sony let the franchise go once, don't think they'll be doing the same thing again.
Sony's Souls could become pretty huge if Miyazaki stays behind it.
(my post was made with the theory that this is indeed a Miyazaki Souls games)

I honestly hope that it's called "Beast Souls".

How about "Shadow Souls"? It effectively combines the two series in the name.
