What is 'Project Beast'? Real or Rumor? Some Thoughts

A huge rumor has emerged that From Software and Sony Japan are working on a new game for PS4 called 'Project Beast'. Could it be real or another hoax? And if it is real, what could it be about?

Chris0924411d ago

The game really gives Demon/Dark souls Vibe. But who knows what the game could be. Still looks awesome! :D

nicksetzer14411d ago (Edited 4411d ago )

Doubt it's for PS4, at least not with the low level polish the screenshots have. Fromsoft is a great dev and a PS4 game from them would not look that bad. (Even if it's alpha footage)

GameDev14411d ago

Or you don't just want it to be a PS4 game

Sony hardly give anything away, insiders give out more Sony game info than Sony themselves.

TomShoe4411d ago

If Sony Japan is working on it, then it's most likely an exclusive.

Those are also highly compressed screenshots.

morganfell4411d ago (Edited 4411d ago )

Sony employee and insider DemonNite started hinting at this game last fall at Gaf and it was at that time impossible to make the connection. When you look back on just a few of his comments you can now see the trend.

This has to be real!.

Just hopefully is not a game that was cancelled or a project that was just intended for something else.

nicksetzer14411d ago

Why would I "not want it to be a PS4 game? I do have a PS4, so not wanting games on it would be pretty stupid.... I am sorry my opinion hurt your feelings, I thought comment sections were for discussions, not blindly agreeing with what you like to hear most. If it comes to PS4 great....

I have been playing From Software's games since the PS1, and at no point in their career have they shown graphical prowess. They have great games, with amazing art direction but their graphics have always been below average.

Brazz4411d ago

well... Demon souls/Armored core aren't the best games in graphics but Dark Souls have very god graphics! hell Dark souls II graphics, to me, are better than skyrim graphics!

EverydayGuy4410d ago

Agree like Final Fantasy only the FMV were about graphics, everything else was gameplay. I hope that type of story telling returns, because I usually use that as motivation to further the story.

Melankolis4411d ago

Why all those disagrees?, is there anything wrong if the game is for PS3 or even Vita...?

Qrphe4411d ago

On the contrary, many of the comments on 4chan Ive seen call them bullshots (where this leak comes from). It definitely has hetter lighting than DaS2's scrapped lightning system.

sinspirit4411d ago

Most alpha gameplay doesn't even look that good. The only reason there are a few games with fantastic graphics in alpha stage right now is because of the rise of early access titles that rush graphical progress in the beginning because it's easy and then the promise of new gameplay mechanics and refinements in following updates. But, for the most part alpha stage games still look worse. Considering these screenshots are not full resolution shots, are very blurry, filled with artifacts, etcetera, you have nothing to speak these claims for.

dale_denton4411d ago

aww you butthurt xbone cant get these amazing titles? poor bot.

This could be Deomon's Souls 2 finally being revealed. PS4 exclusive from the sound of it. :)

Tony-Red-Grave4411d ago

You a banned from getting my hopes up perma banned if not demons souls2 xD

Meep4411d ago

I hope Miyazaki directs this title. If he does I will definitely get a PS4 for this. Especially since I was disappointed with Dark Souls 2.

Meep4411d ago (Edited 4411d ago )

DS2 is a good game on its own, but compared to its predecessors, it does not match up. The level design (hell non-existent) is worse, enemy/boss design is worse. The games lore isn't as good and in Dark Souls 2 I feel like the publishers/developer played the "prepare to die" card too hard. There are quite a bit of cheap deaths and dumb hard bosses.

Cacabunga31d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot30d 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…

HectixRose32d 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.

JEECE31d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername31d 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.

Soy31d ago

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

DarXyde31d 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.

Ashunderfire8631d 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.

Ashunderfire8631d ago (Edited 31d 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.

pwnmaster300031d 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.

solideagle31d 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

Relientk7731d ago

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