There will be bonfires you can rest at to regain health and save your progress, so you might be able to take breaks there safely even though you can't pause. Unless monsters attack you at the bonfire. I'm not sure how that will work exactly. But I do know that apparently using a fire resets all of the mobs in the area. Fun times!

Dark Souls will be so much easier just for the simple fact that you will re spawn at bonfires instead of having to restart the whole entire damn level over again.

No sir.

It's seamless. The bonfires will be there to make up for (I suppose) the lack of a central hub.

I know it's seemless....once you die you will be put back to the last bonfire you saw. I know there won't be too many of them but that still makes it so much easier because you don't have do a whole level over again.

For demon's souls, it's the same.

If you die on the bridge after the phalanx, and you spawned at this archstone, that's where you'll restart.

How is it the same? In Dark Souls there will be randomely placed bonfires and I bet it will be easier to get to them if the world truly is open world.

Was it confirmed to be random?

I missed that!

It has to be random for their open world to work.

Plus if you look at famitsu's score for Dark Souls vs. Demons Souls, Dark Souls score is much higher and Demons Souls got a lower score because they complained about it being too hard.

I doubt that it will be... hence, like DS.

Plus, don't trust Famitsu. They rate based on hype.

But to be like Demons Souls it will have to be a linear experience. Dark Souls supossedly is completely open.
