SOULS NEWS: Demon's Souls 2 Leak - "Project Beast"

I'm still in the middle of my bigger project - but when this news broke I just had to cover it. I can't express how excited I am! This looks really likely, and it means that we might be getting more regular iterations of the Souls series. All aboard the HYPE train

SOULS NEWS: Demon's Souls 2 Leak - "Project Beast"

Comments

Morten, Demon Souls can be found for the PS3. I started with DS1 myself and ran to find Demon Souls soon after...incredibly worth it!!! I have played through numerous times, as souls' fans do with each incarnation, and though it is "the mother" of the souls universe in many ways and somewhat different than Dark Souls in environmental design; it is majestic. Who doesn't love the Nexxus?! You will see some early incarnations of characters like patches and forlorn warrior. But no mistake, it is a Souls game through and through. It's dark and the graphics are not what souls' is currently, but it has a "charm" that isn't matched in other series. Borrow a PS3 from a friend if you can and play...you won't regret it.

The exclusivity part, even though I fully understand it, brakes my newly bedazzled Souls heart...! I'm relatively new to the Souls series - i've played through DS 1 and I'm currently in the middle of DS 2 since I bought a copy of the first this january, and as a result I have become crazy in love with the series. And I can only imagine how great Demon's Souls is. But I only have an xbox 360 I bought years ago, and now an xbox one I got late last year. So if it's PS4 exclusive, well then I'm fucked... I don't have the money for both consoles, and even though I'm a fan, buying the PS4 only for "Beast Souls" may be a bit of a reach - or so my girlfriend would say... ;) Damn those females, damn them! ;) But if this ends up being the case, then I truly rely on you Vaati to bring me grade A(+) video coverage of the game - which I'm in no doubt you will. There are very few storytellers like you out there, and I'm very grateful that the Souls community have a world class one. Even this video just about rumours of a game that might or might not se the light of day, and a game that I sadly may not even come to play... It gave me the willies :) I'm glad to support what you do, I'm only sorry that I can't give you more. Cheers!

This is fantastic news for me! Although I'm a bit dismayed about the near certainty that it'll be a PS4 exclusive, I'd definitely buy the console for this game alone! I'll just miss my friends who have accompained me in the PC versions of Dark Souls 1 and 2. Then again... Demon's Souls is a much more sinister and nightmarish experience. I've played the first one a long time ago all by myself. It seems only fitting that I'll thread these perilous paths all alone once more...

People complaining about guns should give Shadow Tower Abyss a try. It's a PS2 FromSoft title. Has guns and a very Souls-y feel to it combined with King's Field. Definitely seems like that's where the Souls series got it's roots.

I doubt that they would do yearly releases, maybe every two or so years. However, I do like the idea of a creepy, Victorian-like, steampunky Souls game. I do wish though that at one point, maybe even Dark Souls 3, that they would show the rise and beginning of a kingdom as opposed to the aftermath of one. That could make for a very interesting Souls game tone and aesthetic wise with more of a focus on growth than decay, and I have to say that I really liked gathering everyone in Firelink or Majula, especially since they weren't all trustworthy; that on a larger scale could add something to the game that you might feel the need to protect besides yourself.

Considering the depth of level design and lore that go into a souls game. Having a yearly release of a souls game would only numb down the experience. I really hope they don't become the commercial "beast" CoD became because this will only make the games worse and their income higher. It'll all go down in a downwards spiral just like CoD did.

Happy Birthday

Beast''s Souls?

K.Chun

Love how you remained calm and collected , or at least sounded as such, when saying "fuck that I'm on the hype train"

That black guy

Though I really dislike the idea of Sony first damning the the souls universe to oblivion and now they smell money they try to embrace it again just for the money, this will probably sell that damn console to me as much as I hate it >.< Damn you Sony :P If it comes with a remastered or enhanced version of Demon's Souls that would be great ^_^ But for now... It's all speculation... No matter how many dots connect. And Blunderbusses and gunslinger charactertypes would be great. It's like Sorceries and Hexes... It just makes a different sound and requires a different catalyst :P

It's my birthday today and this video was such an awesome present! I picked up Demon's Souls when one of my favorite games, Red Faction Guerrilla, lost out to it on some G4 award show in the "Most Innovative Game" category. I had never even heard of it before then but was so curious after that (I mean, what could beat out Geo-Mod 2.0?!). I found a copy cheap on Amazon, picked it up, and it absolutely blew me away! I love that game so much and still vividly remember so many moments as some of the best of my long (I'm 33 today) gaming career that started with the original Legend of Zelda for the NES. I love the world of Demon's Souls and really hope that they do more with it. The Tower of Latria is still my favorite level in all of the Souls games, and the whole Maiden Astrea character/level/boss fight is one-of-a-kind. Great video Vaati!

yap, this would absolutely be a system seller for me. With a lot of my favorite franchises being multiplatform (kingdom hearts, metal gear solid,) i haven't really felt the push to one console or the other. But if this is real, I *WILL* get a PS4 and this game the day it comes out. Of course, I'd love it to come to PC, but I'm still hype. You're the best Vaati.

Jeffrey Phillips

It looks pretty damn amazing. I think i'd rather it also come out on pc, but thats more because I don't think I could afford to buy a ps4 so its very much a bias opinion XD Its been way too long since a decent "van helsing esc" game came out and I'm interested to see what becomes of this.

I'm a little worried that a yearly iteration will kill the magic of the game. DS2 lacks a bit of that "magic" feeling.

Thamer

wow. omg omg. Yea I would like to see Demon's Souls 2, it's would be super awesome. I love both the Demon's Souls game, and both Dark Souls. Even if you were in a different time or place though, it can still be Demon's Souls... they are still the souls of demons? Whatever this game is, it looks nice indeed! Great video, mate.
