Forums - Gaming Discussion - Dark Souls confirmed for 2011 release in NA/Europe + New Screens

While I absolutely love Demon's Souls, I'm not completely sold on this game yet; I need more information. Is From essentially going to attempt to recreate Demon's Souls, or will they take all that they've learned from that game to make a remiscent, but completely different game (the feel). I'm still not completely convinced that much of the magic of the first game  wasn't an unintended occurence (design flaws assumed to be planned gameplay features). Until I see for myself how From plans on handling this game, I will keep my excitement tightly controlled.

 

On a somewhat unrelated note, I hope this game gets released on the NGP. Since I plan on moving the bulk (at least 85%) of my gaming to handhelds, It would be nice to see it release there.

Based on that info and the trailer i posted above, this is Demon's Souls in a new world.

It's too bad this is a Namco Bandai game instead of a Sony game. It's gareenteed to suck now

Based on that info and the trailer i posted above, this is Demon's Souls 2 in all but name.

I already saw that and it doesn't tell me much. It appears to be both very similar and very different, that's why I need more information. Unless the game is being released as Demon's Souls 2, I expect a spiritual sequel to be noticeably different from the prequel. Essentially an original experience inspired by the first, not an identical one.

I'm not saying an identical experience would not be great (still not convinced From can replicate one), but I would prefer an original one.



Day 1 purchase for me :)
