I'm torn. Demon's Souls was brutal, but it made incremental character and story progress a lot of fun. I still haven't finished the fourth world. I tried to pick it up to play it before this came out and realized I was way out of practice. I may write it off and bite into this.

The first challenge is to let Rage sit on your desk while you play Dark Souls instead.

I know right. I ain't in to blind chicks, but the maiden in black was hot in that weird sort of innocent, goth-like sorta way. Not sure what her original accent was either, but it was hot too. This new...woman...sounds like Theresa's (Fable) bingo buddy.

Goth chicks aside, color me excited for this game.

I like the fact they kept the same voice actor. She sounds grown up too.

This looks so promising, but im kinda scared of the difficulty after hearing all the horror stories of the first game (never played it). Still a must buy.

I want this game, but I don't have a PS3 to play the first game. Have they said if Demon Souls is required playing before you jump into this as far as story is concerned?

@kingzetta: What weapon do you use to kill the False King on P2? I've been using Moonlight Blade, Istarelle and the Meat Cleaver and they suck for him.

Well,  since Rage looks more and more like a typical id shooter every time they show it, letting it sit there while you play something as unique as Dark Souls probably won't be much of a challenge. 
 
Can't wait for this game.  I still play Demon's Souls quite a bit.

@Coreymw: it shouldn't be. it's not exactly  a sequel, so i doubt it would really matter. i would recommend you play demon's souls so you can thicken your skin for dark souls.

The story was never one of it's strongest features. It would be cool if it had a good story by I could care less. Call me crazy, but I just want to die 1,000 times again.

Nah, this is pretty much demons souls 2 as far as gameplay goes, but all the background stuff sounds almost nothing like it, it could be in the same world though, but Demon's Souls wasn't by any means a story driven experience to begin with, they might throw a few references here and there but all in all I doubt you'll be missing on anything, other than having not played the awesome game that it is.

Looks great. This is shaping up nicely, but personally i am going to wait for while before buying this because i am still working my way through demon souls and want to have a break before diving into Dark Souls.

Demons souls was not that hard.. Once you figured out the controls and how to play to the style of your liking it just became a game of skill more then a game of *is it on easy mode or hard mode*. It honestly never got hard till your second and beyond playthrough when shit started getting 40% + more life and dmg. thats when you needed skill and luck :D Also I have this shit pre-ordered and wish the trailers would stop so i can forget about it being so far away :(!!

Oh yeah... Two days before my birthday. I'm gona buy 2 copies one on ps3 and one on Xbox 360. Gotta support the dev's that have passion just like team Ico. I will also buy two of the Last Guardian, and keep one wrapped :) Also with the HD collection. Gotta love dev's with passion and do games they want to do, and not what other's think the so called gamers want.

Oh and too the noobs out there... I found something you can do. If you click on yor ps guide button right after you die. And quit game... You restart exactly before where you died. It's a little trick you can use if you died in a lousy way lol. I used it a few times, but I know it removes the whole point of the game. Demon's Souls plays like a old 8 bit game. We died and died and died until we became great at it, then figure it out and beat it. It took me 10 hours to understand how to play the game. But then it became pretty easy. You need to play it like a survival action game, take every enemie like it's your last, don't take nothing for granted. Also learn about magic and stuff, cuz that will make it eaiser then ever.

There was a thing where if you kept doing this your save game will be lost. So I'd advise you guys not to do it.
