It’s not Demon’s Souls II, but it surely could pass for it. From Software’s just released some new assets set in yet another gloomy, Demon’s Souls-like atmosphere. The full quencher’s past the break.
Video Thirst: Dark As Ever
Thought Demon’s Souls was scary? Wait till you set you eyes on Dark Souls. The debut trailer reeks of awesomeness – in fact, just by looking at it, you get the sense of where From Software’s going with this. Although there are many reminders of Demon’s Souls, you’ll notice that the developer’s aiming for something bigger.
Quench it, courtesy Gamespot:
According to Famitsu, in Dark Souls, you control a player-created character and face off against enemies who are always in pursuit of you. Character creation starts with a base character to which you add equipment, set a name, create a face and so-forth.
During combat, you’ll need to take consideration of your environment. In narrow passages, you may not be able to swing a sword or long weapon, as it will strike the walls. You’ll also need to defend against incoming attacks by determining when to use your shield or flee.
Unlike Demon’s Souls, which was released as a PS3 exclusive, Dark Souls will see a worldwide release this holiday season for PS3 and Xbox 360.
The screens released will make you want it even more. Quench them too:
I hope it has a true co-op element. I will probably get it anyway, but that would be a great plus.
I’m thirsty for this!
now that looks freaking sweet!
just hope they add in a less insane difficulty for us mortals.
tried to get into DS but was far too unforgiving, i dont have time to replay half the bloomin game just because i died!
I know what you mean. Many folks loved it though.
Demon’s Souls made me question why I game. That game kicked my butt and all I could do was say “Thank you sir…may I have another sir!” 360 owners beware…
