A question for everybody. How do you feel about the change of responsiveness of the controls compared to Demon's Souls?

I have to say I got a bit disappointed as movement and combat doesn't feel as heavy anymore.
It's a drastic change. Demons Souls movement felt very slow and heavy (but was still very accurate and most of all it felt "right". I am a guy who praise KZ2 controls. I adore the controls of Demons Souls and KZ2, they're the best in gaming). While Dark Souls response is extremely quick and "light".

You can change camera sensitivy (right stick) from Options but unfortunately you can't lower the sensitivty of character movement (left stick) to try to mimic Demon's Souls. Hopefully I get used to it.

the only thing that i think has become faster is the enemy, i didnt feel any increase of speed with my character, if using the same type of armor and weapon like i did in dark souls. its almost the opposite, since my dodge has become slower. (have to unequip my shield at the moment, to get the most fluid roll lol)

 

btw, its so awesome that u can jump in dark souls xD

You can jump? I didn't realize that. How?

Press Circle While Running. :)

(Dont know if it works with heavy armor though, for those who have, i am running around in epic leathergear)

Actually jumping is a pretty epic dodging move when pulled properly. It saved my ass when I got mobbed by the Boar and two Armoured Zombies at the start of the Undead Parish XD. Jumped between the Zombies, backstabbed both, dodged another ram by the Boar, went up the stairs at the right side and impaled the Boar from up there XD. Got myself a nifty Boar Helmet that I cannot use still
