Um, Okay so I haven't exactly played either game. But how would Demon's Souls 2 be different from Dark Souls 2?

If you're asking about the differences between Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, there aren't a whole lot. The lore between both games is different but both games are told in a similar way (through limited cutscenes and you get much of the story through talking to NPCs). Other than that, Dark Souls is just an evolution of Demon's. The gameplay is the exact same but with improvements. Notable ones include the Bonfire system and open world being an evolution of the hub world system in Demon's, and there being a rechargeable healing item called an Estus Flask which replaces the grass (limited consumable healing items, though Dark Souls 2 has both. The consumables aren't called grass though.).

I'd say both games are more or less similar in quality. Dark Souls just being a little better for me since I like the improvements and the interconnected world is cooler than the hub world.

Anyway, some rumors seem to suggest that they might not have Demon's Souls 2 specifically in development but something a bit similar. Whatever it is though I'm interested.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. If Dark Souls apparentley improved on a lot that Demon's did, and Dark Souls 2 is coming out... What is the point of Demon's Souls? The only thing I'm thinking is because Sony owns the rights to Demon's Souls, they want it exclusive on Ps4. 

Dark Souls II also isn't coming to Next Gen. If they just ported ported DS2 you would only need to buy one version, probably the one on current gen. If they gave you DS2 and Demon's Souls 2 on PS4, they could use similar/same assets and get most to buy both. I know I would definitely shell out cash for both games. And who is to say they have to release the same year. For all we know Demon's Souls 2(if it exists) could come out in 2015, while Dark comes out 2014.

Also, its not like Dark out sold Demon's Souls by some huge margin, they sold relatively the same last time I checked. Didn't really need to be Multiplat to be successful. It needed A publisher who had faith in the game (which apparently wasn't Sony at the time). And 80% of those sales were on PS3.
