A few days ago Atlus PR Manager John Hardin put a damper on rumors about a "Demon's Souls 2" in development.
Yet things definitely seem to be brewing behind the scenes.
6aming's Sheldon discussed the Demon's Souls and Dark Souls franchises and how similar they can appear to be.
"Dark Souls 2 ironically failed to grasp the soul of Dark Souls, creating something that seems out of place with its predecessor by changing too many rules, causing it to feel like an awkward hybrid of both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls."
Totally agree with this.
I think everyone needs to keep expectations in check with Bloodborne. I love FS and am buying this game day 1 no doubt, but I really think people that think its going to be like Demons/Dark Souls are going to be disappointed. Little details are available but I think the game is going to be more comparable to Otogi (still an amazing FS game) than it will be the souls series.
Junkie Monkeys: The infamous swedish retailer Webhallen, primarily known for taking pre-orders for unannounced video games, has listed a doozy this time. The retailer is currently accepting pre-orders for the heavily rumored Sony exclusive “Project Beast”.
Some days ago I read on an italian website that the Bloodborne trademark was filled by SCE JAPAN, so this makes me think that the final title for Project Beast will be Bloodborne. Will see on E3 if I am right :P
is there any info about this game? I see a lot of people excited for it but i can't really find anything about it
Junkie Monkeys: Project Beast is all but officially confirmed. If this game turns out to be legitimate, it could directly tie-in with the evil ending of Demon’s Souls.
Not much question about it. It looks like Demon's Souls, it's made by the same devs...
I hope SONY gives the Devs carte blanche and lots of money so that their vision comes to fruition.
P.S. That vision better be Demon's Souls 2 (or Beast Souls)!
This is great news, I hope it's another souls game.
The thing what they have to focus on now though is how they are going to make this "Souls" game better then the Dark Souls franchise since Dark Souls is basically what a sequel to Demons Souls would of been like.
How do you top something which has already been done
I suppose they could most likely add a much bigger map, towns, villages, better dungeons, more side quests, lots more weapons, better management of skills (make it so what you specialise in matters)
I mean if you could make it "Elder Scrolls Souls" then it would be amazing. You'd be combining the best things of each game. Suppose you could add a little renovation to homes like in Fable or Skyrims Hearthfire pack.
Wait till E3 :)
The only thing I like better about Demon's Souls is the Nexus. It's so hard to remember where everything connects in Dark Souls. Oh, and I also prefer Demon's Souls' music to Dark Souls'.
On topic- I really hope they make another Demon's Souls. I pre-ordered Dark Souls 2 and I can't wait! I love these games!
Demon's Souls on PS+ please.
That's an eight year old game we would enjoy! ;)
I just hope it's not an online-only free to play game like Deep Down. Keeping my expectations low to avoid another disappointment.
