Rumor: Sony and From Software working on "Project Beast"

While "leaks" from 4chan are generally frowned upon, a new one stemming from the community appears to have outed a new title from Japan.

Looks awesome, is that a shotgun in his hand?

Nitrowolf24397d ago

Looks like a dark/demon souls, but the same usage of the character model throughout the image to me tells me it'll be something other. Least centered around a character this time

Webbyy4397d ago

Yup it looks good.. reminds me of the dark souls atmosphere

AngelicIceDiamond4397d ago

Yeah it looks like a third person action. Demon souls inspired.

I was hoping for a ninja stealth action game. I hope Sony shows off such a title.

Other than that this game looks great hope to see more at E3.

NewMonday4397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

character looks like Solomon Kane

I hope it's an accessible game, Dark Souls is a good game for it's fanbase but hope the new game goes in a different direction, something closer to a western RPG like the Witcher and Dragon Age

ZodTheRipper4397d ago

I don't care what it is, just LET IT BE TRUE. My guess is that this is a Demon's Souls type of game in a more realistic world with similar core mechanics ...maybe Demon's Souls 2, maybe something else - but thinking about it makes my pants tight.

frostypants4397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

A true Demon's Souls sequel, maybe, but with greatly expanded mechanics? I'd love that. I liked the Dark Souls games but I'm a bit burnt out on them. A Demon's Souls sequel with a whole new spin on things would be awesome...or at least a game that has similar atmosphere to Demon's Souls (which was, ironically, a lot darker and more twisted/nightmarish than the Dark Souls games).

mattdillahunty4397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

i'm a massive fan of Demon's Souls, and i loved Dark Souls 1 as well. with that said, though, i'm not the least bit excited about this. why? because it looks like yet another Souls game, but with tweaks. i get that they're good at making Souls games and they have a formula going, but the formula has already worn out on me. i want to see them take things in a new direction and show that they can make different game instead of the same game three times in a row with subtle differences that don't ultimately change the formula.

if this is basically the same feel, atmosphere, art style, level design, etc, as the previous Souls games, then i'll pass. and those screenshots make it seem like it's going to be.

i hope they prove me wrong, though. From Software are obviously great game designers, i just want to see them step outside their comfort zone.

morganfell4397d ago

Over at Gaf, insider DemonNite was setting us up for months: http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

ZodTheRipper4397d ago

Yep, it fits right between all the rumors from the last few months. I think this is real as f*** and I can't wait for the E3 reveal =)

Name: Beast Soul's (Remember "Project Dark" which turned out to be Dark Soul's?)
Release: Late 2015 / Early 2016
Genre: (Character) Action RPG
Hype: Over 9000!

ChronoJoe4397d ago

If anything I would argue it confirms it as a 'Souls' series game. They usually employ the same character repeatedly in the trailers and initial gameplay videos, and often focus on one specific model for the box art and such.

If it were a singular character driven game, they would likely show his face in the screenshots and trailers rather than hide it, as it offers character to the game as a whole to do so.

For instance Witcher has a set character, so they advertise it with his face present all the time. Dark Souls and Skyrim do not have set characters, so they advertise it with consistent armour sets rather than a wide variety. Perhaps one reason is to establish some form of consistent brand identity, either way this definitely looks like a Souls game, even down to the fog.

Some of the enemies are also just recycled models from Dark Souls 2, the dogs in particular.

More Playstation exclusives is never too many.

JoGam4397d ago

But but but, PS4 only have Indies. This can't be right. s/

andibandit4397d ago (Edited 4396d ago )

So then pop down to the store and buy them /s

Thats what people are complaining about... and im not being console specific

styferion4397d ago

A demon's soul gameplay with modern weaponry.. damn, this is too good to be true

Number-Nine4397d ago

Demon's Souls 2? That fog gate looks Demon's Soulish.

ZodTheRipper4397d ago

Probably not directly Demon's Souls 2
http://67.227.255.239/forum...
but rather a spinoff involving "Beasts" :)
Which would be great in my opinion, this way they can keep the core mechanics everybody loves while not being bound to previous design choices.

imt5584397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

Very likely spiritual successor from Demon's Souls ( better than Dark 1 and 2 IMO ).

REMEMBER THE BROKEN 6TH ARCHSTONE IN DEMON'S SOULS ANYBODY!!??

OmegaShen4396d ago

The one that sits as a dream, a dream of dying in a new world.

Sevir4397d ago

But wasn't From Software just purchased by another Dev that doesn't do exclusives?

silvacrest4397d ago

perhaps this game was in development long before that purchase? if si i would assume project beast would continue regardless

MrSwankSinatra4397d ago

from software can still work with other companies, it's just that it'll be along with kadokawa games, rather than just from software alone

Lightning Mr Bubbles4397d ago

Looks like a another Demon Souls type game. Shotgun in his hand? Could be anything, can't really make it out. But I'm pretty excited cause the Demon/Dark Souls games have become pretty darn good.

Seraphim4397d ago

AngelicIceDiamond - yeah I wouldn't mind seeing Tenchu reborn. From Software has some great games under their belt over the years. Tons of great options on the PS but Tenchu was easily one of my faves. Stealth Action/Ninja at it's finest.

Looks pretty solid. Definitely interested in seeing more about this one.

Bgibbs4397d ago

Hopefully it's a new Souls game for the PS4. Probably based off Demon's Souls since Sony owns that IP

Dark114397d ago

It looks more like a new IP than a souls game

Bgibbs4397d ago

I'd take either one. Only suspected a new Souls game because of the rumors that came out a few months ago.

ZodTheRipper4397d ago

^Same here but you have to remember that Demon's Souls 2 was confirmed & funnily also denied by a few sources so this might be "that" game people were talking about.
I would prefer a Demon's Souls 2 because I know they couldn't go wrong with that but I'd be happy about everything that comes out of that collaboration.

GribbleGrunger4397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

Are you sure?

http://puu.sh/8wdsZ

That's definitely the same IP

nypifisel4397d ago

That fog gate really says otherwise. It's probably in the souls universe, looks mint though. Sony already won E3? lol

Dark114397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

I hope it's a fully new IP and not related to the souls series.

Edit: the screens looks great , i hope it's true!

bleedsoe9mm4397d ago

a new ip with the souls philosophy maybe scifi would be rad

Veneno4397d ago

It looks like a world of supernatural creatures and your character is a "hunter" of sorts. So we'll see things like zombies, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, etc.

maybe its an MMO? Seperate from the Souls series?

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Cacabunga18d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot16d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose18d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE18d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername17d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy18d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde17d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8617d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8617d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300018d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7717d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
