Demon's Souls Sequel "Dark Souls" Hitting 360, PS3 This Year
I tried Demon's Souls on a friends PS3 for like ten minutes. I definitely don't have the kind of patience for it or a sequel!
I hate to be a whiner, but this article had a ton of typos and grammatical errors that made it harder to read :(
If I was working for Giant Bomb in 2009, I would have fought for Demon's Souls for GOTY. Or, at the very least, a spot on the best PS3-Only Nomination.
I probably would have lost! But I would have fought for it.
I fucking LOVED Demon's Souls. It was probably my 2009 GOTY, though I didn't play it until summer 2010. (Didn't have a PS3 until then).
Definite day-1 purchase for me. After finishing DS2 and now looking forward to this amongst the other games slated for release this year... 2011 is going to be a great year for gaming.
Oh great. So as well as Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Arkham City and Mass Effect 3 jostling for my time and money at the end of the year, there will now be this too. Just before the time/money pit that is Christmas. I might just have to admit defeat, quit games for good and take up knitting or something

I bought Mass Effect II halfway through 2010, and I only just recently bought Batman Arkham Asylum which I am totally enjoying. This game however, will be bought on release. I do not have a ps3 and I always wanted to play Demon''s souls. This sounds even better.
Hey man, you don't have to buy them all at once.That is where you are wrong. Buying everything all at once is exactly what i have to do! I want all of it! Everything!
I bought Demon's Souls, got mad at it, sold it, and then a few months later, a friend of a friend said he beat it four times. I said to myself, "what one man can do, another can do." I bought the game again and decided I was going to play it until I beat it. Now, it's probably one of my favorite games of ever.
I'll be buying Dark Souls on day one.
Awesome. I finally got back into Demon's Souls (currently on my first NG+) and this news is definitely great for me since I actually have friends on Xbox Live that I could potentially play with/against.
Though I do hope that they change how PvP and coop work in Dark Souls since Demon's Souls implementation is definitely clunky.
Looks like Demon's Souls... Which is enough for a sale for me.
Loved Demon's Souls, but it really really really needs some randomized monster / trap placements to mix it up after the first time you have run a world. Here's hoping!
I only own a 360 and I've always wanted to play Demon's Souls, it looks like I'm finally going to get my chance!
Although I'm not typically a fantasy fan, I tend to lean towards sci-fi, I fell in love with Demon's Souls when it came out in the States a couple years back. It is and remains one of my favorite console games. It incorporated novel multi-player gameplay and what has come to be known as a difficulty level for veteran video gamers. Accolades aside, the story and visual style developed for Demon's Souls elicited real feelings of fright and fear in most players. Even after playing the game multiple times there are still some levels that creep me out. I can't wait for more Souls!!!
Quite possibly my favorite game on the PS3 was Demon's Souls. I will be pre-ordering the limited edition of this!
Awesome. The first game is one of two or three games I actually want on the PS3, so this coming to 360 fits me perfectly. Will probably get it day one.
