Dark Souls Determined to Break Your Soul and Sanity in October

Demon's Souls was one of the most surprising--and easily the most difficult--releases in 2009. From Software is wasting no time with a sequel--er, spiritual successor. Dark Souls has been described as more or less an unofficial sequel to Demon's Souls, which mean only the most hardcore should apply here.

When will you have a chance to play Dark Souls? The answer is October. October something something. There's no specific date yet but the same month of Halloween is fitting. One can begin preparation...now.

As for me, I vastly prefer watching other people suffer through these games. This shall be no different.

Can't wait.

So ya....demon souls multiplatform 

The true Demon's Souls starts here.

i can't help but chuckle when people say demon's souls was hard.

Gonna be so good.  Cannot wait.

Never completed Demons souls, but will freaking pick this up.

I suppose the trailer will be posted separate? Always looks rather weird when it's split like that, like GB's posting the same story twice; once in text, then video.

2009 homie.

Demon souls is like easier than barbiee games! I ess bezzt playar evar at this game! lame that anyone would find it hard when i can beat it from scratch in like 12 seconds without touching controller!!!

Platinum in Demon's Souls. Planning to shed my sanity over this one too.

It literally looks just like Demons Souls, and I couldn't be happier about that. Christ, the animations are even the same. I can't wait.

want

Yay - bring on MOAR creepy mindflayer badguys!

I think Demon's Souls came out in 2009.

People that dismissed this game as "that hard game" I think missed out.  Eventually the game got easier and sometimes you wanted to die due to the way the game worked, which was especially cool.

Am I the only one who loves the look and lore of Demon's Souls?

Because that shit is cool as hell.

I'll need to get to grips with Demon's Souls. Not a user friendly game and wears down your patience.

Love the game, it is amazing. The sense of reward for beating a world is second to none. However get 3/4 through and die then die again losing 200,000 souls. OMGWTF NOOOOOOO! Yeah I'll get back to this game someday.

This is one of my 2011 Must Buys.  I'll miss Atlus' preorder bonuses.

How can you post this.. and not anger us. : /
fuuucccccckkkkk

This game is gonna be great! Demon's Souls was easily the best game I've played in years, and I can't wait for it's sequel!
...I think I'm actually more exited for this than Skyrim, now that I've seen the trailer!

You should both of you be ashamed of yourselves. "

I watched a friend punch a chair across the room while playing Demons Souls. Yes, punch.

Looking forward to it. Approaching obstacles with caution instead of rushing and button mashing your way through can help alleviate suffering through the first game. I'll use the same tactics when playing Dark Souls. Thanks for the news.

Loved Demon's Souls. Looking forward to getting my skull caved in by Dark Souls.

It was hard... but not THAT hard.

YES!!!!!

But where is the trailer, grr.

Awesome! Looks like my october is planned.

Demon's Souls is a game of high risk/reward and that's why it's gotten a "bad" rep.  But if you just use caution and approach it with decent tactics it's not very difficult.

Don't miss out, people.

First day purchase. Considering getting it on 360 just to invade and murder all those delicious Demon's Souls virgins. So pumped for this.

Going to be awesome.  If the two versions are on par it might be hilarious to play it on 360 and see all the tears all over again.

October something something? Didn't know it was a leap year...




Ba-dum cshh!

Smart idea to have it come out on Halloween month.
I look forward to dying again.

You're sick :D "

Sweet.  Demon's Souls kicked my ass, but I'd still give Dark Souls a shot.

I missed out on the first one, but since this one is coming to 360 I am totally on board with this style of gameplay.

I wanna hurt.

Currently losing my sanity over flamelurker... le-fucking-sigh...

My only gripe with what I've seen so far is that I wish that they would have just called it Dark's Souls.

The first game made a man out of us all.

Can't wait, DS is my favorite ps3 exclusive. Its really wasn't that hard if you took the time to figure out the world.
