Rumor: Project Beast by From [PS4]

[zed]

Hidetaka Miyazaki, game director of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Apparently he and lot of core crew of those two games did not work on Dark Souls II. Now we know on what they spent their time on.

Oh wrong Miyazaki
I thought you meant the greatest film director of all time miyazaki

Looks meh... (IMO)

 

[Gitaroo]

Miyazaki isobviously working on a new Armor Core game.

Tiny pieces of video (in WebM format):

Graphically looks on par with the 360/PS3 Castlevanias.

Looks better than that. Hard to see too much through the severe compression.

 

[L. Scofield]

Looks like DS2 before it was gutted.

 

[Wynix]

^PB looks better.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

looks very atmospheric ! Lovely ! Feels like its the best atmosphere since RE4.

 

[HTupolev]

Neat, though that gif makes the motion blur look horrible.

 

[L. Scofield]

^PB looks better.

Barely. The only thing lacking in the DS2 gif is some chromatic aberration.

If it is for PS4 then, probably, it will look better but we saw little or nothing of Project Beast.

The Diablo esque theme really interests me. Gonna wait for some HQ media before I judge on the graphics since I can't see sh*t here.

Looks like PS4 game that was built by a studio that is used to making oldgen games with a mediocre engine.

But ok, we have very little footage. The best thing about this video is detailed trees, good stuff. http://static2.gamespot.com/uploads/ignore_jpg_scale_super/280/2802776/2545375-8445028689-Madeu.gif

So the game will look like this, only with worse lighting, worse textures, at a poor framerate.

 

[DieH@rd]

Or, it will look great at 1080p60...

It's too early to speculate about final product. We have few shitty images, one shitty lowres video, no info if this is nextgen only or crossgen, and when will it come out.

I'm a little behind on the 'souls' series.

I was often under the impression that Demon Souls was first? Followed by a Sequel Dark Souls, but then there was a Dark Souls 2? So this one is Demon Souls 2?

Is there any difference between the two series?

Demon's Souls was indeed first. It was published by Sony in Japan, and they retained the IP rights. From Software created a spiritual successor in Dark Souls for Namco Bandai which let them do a multiplatform game. In terms of gameplay and theme, they are very similar titles, but structurally Demon's Souls used a hub world from which you warped to a number of differently themed environs. Dark Souls used a totally connected open world which connected various distinct regions in ingenious fashion. Dark Souls, of course, sold really well, earning a sequel, but there are many inside Sony Computer Entertainment who remain fans and felt they really missed the boat by failing to bring Demon's Souls outside Japan themselves. Contracting From Software for an exclusive follow up, if not a direct sequel, made a lot of sense.
