INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:Poor SONY, they fucked up with this one. Let's hope they make an attempt at relinquishing what could have been one of their best franchises.
Raide said:I love the idea of Dark Souls because I can buy it on a 360.
If Dark Souls does all it sets out to do, could Sony really make a Demon's Souls 2 and convince people to go back to a single platform again? If Dark Souls does well, Sony then have to market DS2 from another developer and have people not turn around and say "It looks like Dark Souls!"
Captain Pants said:I think the game was announced during a Sony conference, so I don't think they've got any hard feelings towards From, or any desire to compete with Dark Souls. I think they know they messed up.

Btw, what are the sales numbers for Demon's Souls? Anyone have any ideas?
Captain Pants said:The more I look at their logo, the 'd' and the 's' are different from Galant. They might have changed that though. I'm starting to think I might not have the font even though I've got a bunch that are similar.
Yes but it would be oh so sweet if this did 2mil+ because then Sony would maybe think of diversifying their efforts a bit, that and hopefully a flood of sequels.K' Dash said:If this game is as good as Demons Souls it deserves all the sales it can get, fuck the fanboy shit.

Raide said:I wonder if they will drop Demon's Souls and carry on with Dark Souls, despite it being multi-platform?
the_prime_mover said:Sony should step the fuck up and give us dedicated servers for this game as an apology for letting this slip through their fingers. I am not really complaining as DS is so fantastic that I am really happy 360 only folks will get a taste, but the persistance of dedicated servers in DS adds a lot to the experience and going to a peer system may degrade some of that. If Sony steps up and says they will put up servers worldwide then perhaps we can get something like WT back in the game.
. Weve created all characters including enemies and the player to have high attack power but low defense. We dont want users to hack and hack and hack away to defeat an enemy. Its more strategic.
and that one is a playstation exclusive.Zeal said:it is very telling and promising that this guy's favorite games are all western developed.

INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:I just looked and I think I got the name wrong. Galant looks different, but that is via a web search. Maybe you have a Galant font that is different? Anyway, this looks like a pretty close match, actually really close...

Captain Pants said:
Both Verdigris and Galant are similar, but not quite, the Dark Souls fonts has sharp points at the tips of the letters. I want whatever font this is. I work in stone engraving, and sharp points like that would be great for headstones and whatnot. It is a cool font.
INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:You're right, do you think that is altered that way though? At this point my guess is it's custom, based on one of them..
I would absolutely LOVE to see FROM make shit happen on the NGP.
Well, this is assuming From left Sony because they felt they needed to go multiplatform.Captain Pants said:I think the game was announced during a Sony conference, so I don't think they've got any hard feelings towards From, or any desire to compete with Dark Souls.

FINAL QUESTION: Will there be a sequel?!
HM [FS]: I will let Mr Kaiji answer that question.
TK [SCEJ]: At the moment, my answer is "no sequel!" However, we have been encouraged by all the players, and this title is so well supported, and besides we like this title so much Well, this is my own feeling, but I think one day we could bring you another Demon's Souls...
DaveFalse: The game took off due to word of mouth, and people importing it from Asia and then US. Did you expect this to happen?
HM: No, we didn't foresee it at all. This is why it has been a series of happy surprises for us.
TK: That was very interesting for us, and people valued the game differently than we thought they would. We were a bit stressed before the release of the game I remember that it was a dark moment when we saw the first order figures. *laughs* I really think that Demon's Souls became what it is today thanks to all the players.
If you watch the video there is an orb in between the words, hence the sharp points in the letter S.Captain Pants said:

soldat7 said:I wouldn't be surprised to see a Demon's Souls 2 on Sony's new portable. I also wouldn't expect From to have anything to do with it. Just a guess.
Sony has nothing to do with Dark Souls. I didn't really like world tendency anyways.
the_prime_mover said:From what I have read, Namco isn't setting up dedicated servers and everything will be peer to peer over either PSN or Live, so I just supposed that Sony could sweeten their pot by setting up dedicated servers.
I can appreciate people not liking WT events, though I felt they added a dynamic element to the game. But I hope the ptp setup doesn't cost the game the other interesting online elements.

INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:This peer-to-peer stuff worries me; I've had little success this gen when it comes to playing multiplayer components of a game that utilize peer-to-peer.
Servers are located in Japan as they are with all other versions. The
game is a mix of client-server and peer to peer gaming.
INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:I tend to agree with you on the matters of WT. It was a cool concept, but a little hard to grasp. It was easier before they started patching it in different ways. This peer-to-peer stuff worries me; I've had little success this gen when it comes to playing multiplayer components of a game that utilize peer-to-peer.
ijed said:I thought Demon's Souls MP sessions were P2P - Whoever was in body form was the host.
This is what I was told by a Namco rep when I asked about the Servers for the PAL version:
canova said:oh wait a minute, how bout ghosts?? ghosting is a big deal
ghost images need dedicated servers
soldat7 said:I hope they can work this in somehow.
canova said:oh wait a minute, how bout ghosts?? ghosting is a big deal
ghost images need dedicated servers
pvp and co-op may be p2p, but ghosting is client-server
ijed said:Ghost data only comes from currently active players tho so could work without a dedicated server? (Still not really sure about the difference between a dedicated and default psn/xbl matchmaking server)
Not sure about bloodstains and messages though.
Regarding network play, Hidetaka said that he can't share too many details, but the game will have cooperative and competitive multiplayer elements. You'll be able to call upon people to help you out when you're stuck.
The game will also have indirect online elements like the original -- seeing the images of other players, messages from the dead, and so-forth. The game will not have its own servers this time, though, so elements like Soul Tendency from the original will not be here.
There are some other online elements that will be detailed in future updates
teh_J0kerer said:Hmm, one thing in the interview worries me:
He says that the campfire restores the player's health.
That sounds exploitable, where if you were stuck at a hard part of a level, you could chip away one enemy at a time, and return to the campfire to regenerate.
canova said:Hey Rich, make sure you tell Namco to properly advertise this game. Don't let Sony's mistake happen with this great franchise.
EDIT: oh don't go to the Tales thread, lol
mattp said:sounds like the campfire is just the nexus of dark souls
duckroll said:A portable Nexus of sorts. There will probably be limitations as to where you can set one up.
