UPDATE:Thanks to commenter “GD,” who found the compiledProject Beastclipsin one video, complete with orchestral scoring. Definitely feeling thoseSoulsvibes now! Check out the video above.
ORIGINAL:It was about a month ago when screenshots of in-development From Software video gameProject Beastfirstemerged on 4chan. Now, the infamous leaker has returned to post high-quality .webm files of the game in action on the notorious /v/ imageboard.
Because threads get pruned off the board forever in a matter of hours, a NeoGAF member named drotahorrorhas reposted them here, showing off 4 short-format video clips ofProject Beast.
Clip 1shows the beginning crawl of the From Software logo, focusing on a dark, mysterious figure walking through a regular gate, as the camera cuts to a castle in the distance and the skeletal remains of an unfortunate soul.Clip 2shows the adventurer traverse what appears to be a soul/fog gate.Clip 3shows the adventurer slowly walk towards what appears to be a demonic boss creature. Finally,clip 4highlights some sword-and-gun-based combat against a crowd of lesser ghouls and human-like beasts.
The leaker of theProject Beastfootage states that the game will be a PS4 exclusive, Sony Japan Studio is involved and recently-named From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki is directing the game.
The .webm files look legit, and include some of the same images shown in the screenshots. While nothing has officially been confirmed,Project Beastis as real as it can be without an official announcement. Whether we see that announcement happen at E3, gamescom or Tokyo Game Show remains to be seen.
With that said, a turn-of-the-century action RPG, featuring swords, guns and low fantasy may be one of the cooler twists on theDarkandDemon’s Soulsconcepts that From Software is known for. It is highly unlikely (read: near impossible), but if Sony could get this alleged PS4 exclusive out by the end of the year, it would do wonders for the console.Driveclubis the only remaining exclusive left on Sony’s PS4 docket.
We’ll be on the lookout for moreProject Beastinformation as it becomes available.
