RUMOR: Project Beast (From Software/Sony Japan Studio, PS4) [Port begging = ban]
- Thread starter Herla

There's a few things about this post which are very strange.
Firstly, the assumption LotF has a smaller team. It's being developed by two studios, the fifty man Deck 13 you cited, and the hundred and fifty strong CI Games. How many of that combined effort is on the game is anyone's guess at this point.
Secondly, the assumption that Beast Souls won't have 'true next gen graphics', which is pretty ridiculous considering the only known images of the game are in the OP, and the compression is truly crippling.
Thirdly, the assumption that video is a PS4 game, which I would say is not the case at all, given the 360 pad icons, I would say it's on PC, moreover, in that boss fight, the game is running like dog shit. So you neither know what Beast Souls looks like on PS4, or Lords of the Fallen.
I think people are notably low balling the technical prowess of Demon's Souls. For a game that came out at the very start of 2009, it looks really good. This was four months after Sony's big holiday release was Resistance 2. You can't look at the game with the consideration of what the PS3 library became, you have to consider it in the context of it's release.

Of course not.
But let me put it like this: The game seems to contain firearms - what universe seems most likely it's set in?
The universe with firearms?
The universe without firearms?
It is by no means conclusive and noone is saying it is. There are also other factors like market and brand value that might suggest the opposite.
It's still a thought worth entertaining though.

Imagine this:
What if the inclusion of a shotgun at all times would change the pace and feel of the combat so much, that it would be a bit different from the core. Imagine L1/2 being tied to the firearm and R1/2 to the sword. The combat is brought up to a faster speed, almost character-action-ed up. You have much better agility with your moves and can build your attacks into combos.
Not total conversion, but change it enough to give it that feel.
Now that is something I would love to see, I do not want to see one of my all time favourite series get stale and boring (although if this has simply Souls combat, I would play hundrets of hours anyway).
This is just letting my mind loose and going from the vibe of the screenshots.
What do you think?

Things that point to this being a Souls game:
Aesthetics (locales, fog door, enemies seem consistent with Souls)
Third person view
Melee weapons
Teasing from insiders
Popularity of Souls games
Things that point to this being a Shadow Tower game:
Firearms

Also:
..has what looks like a DS-esque loot light thingie hovering at a nearby dead body.
A first person Project Morpheus enabled From Software game would have been pretty cool. Especially with how atmospheric their games are.

I've hoped that if they did another game in the Souls series it would be called Mortal's Souls, or Mortal Souls. I think that has a nice ring to it.
Beast's Souls

I don't see why people are firmly of the belief that it's either a DeS successor or a Shadow Tower successor and it's that black and white. It could be a spiritual successor to both games at the same time.
Someone mentioned Shadow Souls earlier which sounds really cool for a name, but I'm thoroughly under the belief the game will have "Beast" in the title. So the most likely is either Beast's Tower (which would be a bit... stupid), or Beast's Souls.
Then again I could be completely wrong and it could be Dark Souls 3/Demon's Souls 2 but I really doubt it...
Do it, it's a fantastic franchise.

So what's the over/under on Miyazaki and his team jumping ship to Sony first party following the Kadokawa purchase?
Seems kind of suspect that they've all been working on this PS exclusive when Kadokawa bought out From. It would be a very SCEA move to make, but then they do have the former head of Sony Santa Monica running things now.

I believe that, too. It would be smart and it would help hook people who might not know.
The thirst is real.
I think, regardless of whether it is called Beast's Souls or Demon's Souls 2 or whatever variation, that it will be an indirect sequel to Demon's in that time will have gone forward many years.
Within that, I think the souls arts could have been replaced by man's advancements in technology. Although in a way I hope this is wrong, because it will be hard to replace the magic system in place with various guns n shit.
Also(and this is all wild speculation obviously), one of the pictures shows a red mist coming from the enemies in similar way to how the player would absorb souls, but instead of the trademark white mist flying at the player, it is a blood red one(As I am seeing it anyway).
Is the player now absorbing some sort of blood equivalent to what souls were in the previous games?
This would also tie in with that thing about it being called Bloodborne, but this is as I said, wild speculation.
Regardless, I want on the hype train. I no longer have photoshop or I'd do it myself.
At maximum overhype here!

My God. So much irony in only one phrase, I can almost feel the critical mass of an irony singularity forming.
Uncharted 4 leak supposedly, yes. It's from some developers screen at Naughty Dog during a TloU documentary or something.

I just realized something. This is gonna be a Souls game marketed by Sony! An actually competent publisher. That means the trailers, instead of the ultra corny Namco ones for Dark 2, might actually capture the mood of the games and be awesome!
O_O what?
