Isn't the Souls series the successor to From's Kings Field series? All they really did was update it, change the controls, and create a similar setting.
From has been a great company for a long time. Demon's Souls just gave them more Western recognition. It wasn't even till Dark Souls that the franchise really blew up either, and that's a multiplat.
The sad part to me is that Sony has the rights to Demon's Souls so it will never become official Dark Souls canon despite fitting so perfectly into the lore of Dark Souls.
