Forums - Sony - Why are you not playing Demon's Souls?

It isn't out in the UK.

That's why I'm not playing it.

Nor will I import it...

If a game truly is as good as it's made to be, it'd be released worldwide, and not only in selected areas.

Untrue. The reason its not released world wide is because this game isn't for everyone. The NA release is a test to see if there's a market for it, and let me tell you, there is. I see a lot of support for this game, I bet it did far better than atlus hoped. (Mind you, that might be like 40k copies, if it sells that much it's a huge success)

How can you say "It's not for everyone",

That suggests you're saying all europeans like and dislike the same thing, like saying we all like racing games, but don't like hack and slash action/adventure RPG games...

People have different tastes for a start, so don't go grouping us as a whole, since that's not how it works.

Also, why release it in the US, when the EU/Other regions have a higher PS3 userbase, meaning potentially more sales...

It also means more language translating.

I wonder if 40K would be a big enough success for europeon porting though.  Keep in mind localization costs for Europe are far greater then the US.



Here's a really good review that points out pretty much everything awesome about the game.

No. I don't mean that at all.


First of all, the only reason we're getting this game?

ATLUS.

Atlus are pretty much a gift to gamers. if you dont love atlus there is something wrong with you. They are bringing us games no one else would and not getting rich off of it.


When i said that jbrist, I meant that it will never be getting huge sales. So porting it must be taken into consideration.
Also, the porter, Atlus, does not publish anything in europe, ever.

So it needs a new publisher all together.



Because maybe I don't feel like it, gosh. Seriously though it looks cool but with all these games I know I like coming out I don't want to spend 60$ on it if I may not like it. People were telling me inFamous and Killzone 2 are great but I didn't care for either of them when I tried them.

I just checked GameStop, and delivery to the UK is $15. 15 + 60 = $75, or £46.92. Considering it would probably launch at £35-40 here, that just isn't worth it.

6$ more? totally worth it



That is a lot for shipping... For first class mail from usps is 11 dollars
