So I wonder what other leaks-- real or fake-- magically appear tomorrow to whip us into a frenzy throughout the weekend?

I love E3, but the leaks and teases and hints in the run-up-- and we are T-minus 33 days and counting-- are loads of fun as well (for me at least).

Wow, like the font.

I've realised something. The character they show is much different to previous souls games:

He's not a knight for one. Looks much more like a beast hunter.

Which means their may be new classes :eek:
What kind of classes do guys think will be in this game? Witch, Shaman, Rifleman, Hunter etc.

Soul of the beast. Period.

Although I really like that name, it's just too similar to Shadow of the Beast and would cause confusion.

We're not setting ourselves up for disappointment are we? The game is real, no doubt about that. But sony wouldn't do something crazy and announce it at TGS?

I doubt it would be worth revealing it at TGS because the Japanese home console market is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Big games like this which are going to excite fans globally and sell consoles are better suited to E3 or even Gamescom over TGS.

Ha ha, this is good!

So what's been happening the last day or so? I had been thinking maybe the whole Project Beast rumor got debunked or found to be just a very good hoax. Not so?

I hope not. Please tell me this is still something I can still look forward to on PS4 in the future.

I think at this point we can guarantee that this is not fake, largely because of insider info & hints from DemonNite et al (a Sony insider on this forum).

So we're expecting a "ohh, and just 1 more thing..." type reveal at e3?

Sony hasn't done those in a while sadly.

That would be awesome. I'm thinking either this or The Last Guardian would be the best way to finish the show. With either a 3-minute trailer or uninterrupted gameplay.

I bet money on it being a "Souls game" only by nature, not by name.
And even then it looks like the aesthetic/taste will be completely different.

So yeah, less 15th-16th century knights in castles, and more 17th-18th century hunters in foggy Victorian streets. Would be a nice change of palette for sure, even if the mechanics are largely based on what we've come to know and love.

Nah I'm sure it will be a Souls game in name. Thats kind of a brand name and Sony and FROM would be crazy not to capitalise on it, especially when it clearly has the same mechanics and maybe even structure to previous games.

There's zero reason to not call it _____ Souls

It clearly is a Souls game, just bank on the free marketing the brand will bring since people will without a doubt talk about it.

To be fair they could just say "From the makers of Demon Souls and Dark Souls" if it isn't a Souls game. Same effect.

Y'know, I would really like this as a change of direction for the series. Hunting were-beasts and succubi in the foggy gas-lit streets of an abandoned Georgian-era town would be awesome. Kind of like an update of Nightmare Creatures, and an interesting juxtaposition to The Order: 1886.

They could call it Flim Flam and I think 95% of Souls fans will realize what this game is.

Do you think that Gaf would have been able to handle this megaton with another X megaton shown at E3 at the same time?

I smell a conspiracy to keep Gaf up...

Castlevania vibes would be so awesome:

well i certainly didn't do it in one sitting, and took alot of breaks doing other stuff. Took me just over a few days of very interspersed reading :)

when GAF is hyped, it is an extraordinary thing :) the gifs, the trains, the "i'm buying ps4 now" posts, the meltdowns, the tears, the joy...all worth it :)
