What I thought this was a PS3 exclusive? Not that I'm complaining since I heard good things about the first game. Hopefully it retains the difficulty of Demons Souls.

Does anyone know if this game has co-op?


They said it is supposed to be even harder.

Ugh thats horrible lol.

sony dropped the ball in that FromSoftware had to publish DS in the west with atlus because sony (western divisions) refused to give it time/resources.

so FromSoftware went it alone with their next title but they do NOT steal the IP as it's not called demons souls. 

... as any gameloft fanboy will tell you, making game eeriely similar to another franchise but with a different name is totally legit.


I wouldn't exactly say Sony dropped the ball.  I mean, in hindsight, yeah, the wrong decisions were made, but prior to the game's release, both Sony and From Software had incredibly low expectations as far as the game's commercial success was concerned.  At the time, few would have claimed they were making a bad call. 

Both parties were surprised at how well the game performed long term, and Miyazaki has said the option of doing an actual sequel with Sony is still on the table.

It's not unlikely at all that From Sofware had the intention of doing a sequel before the first game ever appeared to be a success, and when going ahead with that idea, Sony passed on the option of publishing, thus leading to them striking a deal with Namco for Dark Souls' Western release alongside Demon's Souls' European release.

but im still kinda dissapointed at FromSoftware that they basically stole a sony IP and made it multiplatform by giving it a different name.

Sony droped the ball when they refused to bring the game overseas due its difficulty.


what do you mean they dropped the ball? its their IP and they helped develop the game...just because it came out late overseas doesnt mean FromSoftware should rip it off.

imagine if bungie did that with halo, insomniac did that with resistance and so on....

theres something called loyalty and business ethics which by the looks of it FromSoftware have failed at.

but like i said im still looking forward to the game, i just regret it will have the FromSoftware label on it.

Who cares? Just be glad that we are getting another games just like Demon's Souls from From Software.

 

I just care about the game and so should you. It matters not who makes it.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

and thats the problem i have with this whole thing....

it may be legit but its not morally correct. If all third party developers messed around with IP's owned by sony/MS/nintendo then they would lose credibility and business in the long run.

1 game might not have much of an impact but sony will be aware of this in the future.

SONY was aware of the outcome as soon Demon Soul's started to generate a cult following -- Jack Tretten even said it was a mistake for SCEA and SCEE to decline to publish Demon Soul's and Kaz Hirai said SONY should of made Demon Soul's a 1st party game rather than just owning the name Japan publishing rights... Anyway the point here is that there is nothing morally wrong with what FROM SOFTWARE has done and it is a good thing that for everyone that we get to enjoy Dark Souls instead of watching a shit flinging match between publishers over who owns the publishing rights, where, etc.

Just so some aren't confused, this isn't a sequel to Demon's Souls, more like a spiritual successor. Still exciting though!


It just happens to come from the same company, look exactly the same, and have half of the same name...
