So it's confirmed, From Software is coming out with a new game in the same vein as the Souls series. Like a 95% chance it will be PS4 exclusive. Most likely going to be some kind of new Souls series or Demon's Souls 2, but some people are theorizing that it might be a Shadow Tower 2, but I think that's unlikely.

And here is some gameplay footage, showing off a double barreled shotgun, some kind of Monster Hunter style switch axe looking weapon, and a very gothic looking setting with a bit of a Victorian horror vibe going on.

Thoughts everyone?

I'm pretty sure this is going to be another Souls title, otherwise it just comes off as a clone. I really hope it's not a PS4 exclusive if it is a Souls title - if it's on PS3, I buy it, if not, I don't.

Hate to say it man but I want this to be PS4 exclusive. I don't even have one and I want that to happen. This would be a console seller for me.

That and I'd really like to see the entire medium get off their feet and honestly move into the next generation. It's time... it's been time.

I think it would be a stupid move on From's part to release it as a PS4 exclusive, and there's no way I'm buying the Indiestation 4 for one game. How many copies of this game do they expect to sell when the Souls fanbase mostly exists on the PS3? With the high cost of development, I don't see how it makes sense. Of course, if Sony is demanding next-gen exclusivity as a condition for release, I'm probably up shit creek.

Looks nice. But yeah, if it's not on Vita or PS3 I will ignore it. Still not a reason to drop $400 on a new system.

You guys realize it's going to come out next year most likely if that right? No point in From continuing to support a system that's on the way out the door especially since this is going to move systems. I hope it's a Sony exclusive with a PC release maybe if not I'll get a ps4 used or after a price drop just like I did with the ps3 and Demon's souls.

I don't get the negativity about it not being on ps3. It's like complaining about having to buy a Wii U because they didn't release mk8 for the Wii. Do you guys not like video games? I mean in a years time there will be more games worth picking up a ps4 for this included.

Edit: bone I'm curious, besides a new why's game, what would get you to buy one of the new systems? Floppy disks?

PS3 is not "on its way out the door" by any means - Sony has already stated it will continue to support the console well into 2016, which is a smart business decision considering the very large installed fanbase. It has nothing to do with "not liking video games" and everything to do with not having to buy a completely new console when the game will undoubtedly run quite well on a PS3. Regardless, I'm out if it's exclusive.

DS2 was dated out the door. I could careless about those sort of things, but no denying they could do way more on a new system (like the early DS2 videos showed, an art direction and lighting closer to DS1 in style). "Next gen Souls" sounds a lot more exciting than "Another new Souls" to me. The Souls series has proven to be very successful and I think even locked on exclusive to some system, it'll sell like hotcakes. If there were a Souls game on the PS2, would have you waited to get a PS3 for Demon's?

Weirdest argument ever. I'm with flex on this one. lol

[Retrogamer0001]

The Souls games have never been about graphics, but that's beside the point. Time will tell, but I'm still putting my money on a multi-gen release.

That just depends on if From sticks with Bamco or not. Honestly I just want them to go back to Atlus and get as far as possible from Bamco but that's because I blame Bamco for all the stuff I disliked about both dark souls games.
