Well ladies and gentlemen, I am sure that all of you have heard of the PS3. And for those of you who have one, I am almost sure that you have heard of Demon Soul's. The most gruelling, awsomely challenging high graphic current generation game on the PS3. Well, guess what, the sequel has been ANNOUNCED! Previously code-named Project Dark, it is now debutting under the official title Dark Souls for all of us to drool over.

With a release date of october of this year, I cannot wait to get my hands on this thing. Let's all just pray that it doesn't get delayed.

UPDATE:
Here is an interview video with the staff on the details of the game.

Ok, so it's not a sequel, it's a "spiritual successor". Anyway, I can't wait to see how the open world style plays out.

UPDATE:
IMPORTANT MESSAGE

For everyone who wishes to achieve an edge in Dark Souls, go to this website (preparetodie.com). After entering your age, you will be brought into a wall which has a bunch of runes on them. The first one will glow. Click the runes in a specific order, and you will recieve a code that will be sent to your email. Misclick three times, and you will be locked out for a day. Also, be careful as the runes order may become randomized if you enter a different birthday the next time (unconfirmed).

Now, once you actually try this you will notice that it's near impossible. If you feel like taking on the challenge, here's a doable way:
1. After missing twice (or once after 12), refresh the page and your count will be reset.
2. Using a piece of paper, write down every correct rune so that you will be able to click it properly the next time.
3. Rinse and repeat until you recieve all thirty.

I'll be honest with you, I gave up after eleven and cheated my way through it. If you're like me and don't want to waste a few hours doing this, then here's the easy way:

Paste "javascript:mg.hint()" onto the URL and press enter. The next correct rune will light up briefly. Repeat this until you have all thirty and you're done.


Ok apparently this is some collaborative puzzle as they send you a piece of a jigsaw. You can help by submitting yours online, though there's ALOT of people already working on it so you can also be like me and just wait for it to finish.

UPDATE:

Here's a new story trailer AND an 11-minute gameplay video:

I platinumed Demon's Souls, LOVE that game. Can't wait for this.

By the way xiety, Atlus was dissolved so the Demon's Souls team had no choice but to find a new publisher. This isn't just a ripoff.

that so gay.... and why they changed the name of the game
Meaning no more Demons to slay >.< Flamelurker + Man Eater = Slaughter House

well I miss my Double DBS kinda funny to run with those large swords

Personally I think the enemies in this one look far more bad-ass than in Demon Souls. And I don't know about you but Demon Souls 2 sounds kind of lame to me.

On a side note...maneater + armorspider = slaugther house for me. I was a magic swordsman who relied on dodging for everything so those bosses really owned me alot.

I definately can't wait for this game to come out. I just hope it is as challenging as Demon's Souls with more improvements. The story in Demon's Souls was OK, but I hope they bring this world to life.

Well, they said in the interview that they would make it just as (or more *GASP*) challenging as Demon's Souls. Improvements of course is a given. No real word on the story yet, but I'll update again when there is.

I wonder if it will be set in the same world, just outside of the rift. Would be kinda cool to have some returning NPC's. Especially if the ones that returned were based off your last Demon's Souls save. Like if you didn't kill off Yurt, he comes around murdering everyone in the new game. Lol of course Stockpile Thomas would need to make a return with his man love for you. "You have a heart of gold, don't let them take it from you!" Lol.

They said that Dark Soul's is set in a different world from Demon's Souls, so there should be no recurring characters. They also said that the central "hub" would be removed, putting in its place a system of mini-bases that you can create as you play.

As long as I dont want to go back to that Prison in Chapter 3, those Howls gives me creeps when I play at night

Anyway I expect harder boss in Start of the Game not the NG+++++ to the infinity well of course its more brutal in NG++...........

Tower Knight = WTF
Old King Allant = Self-Destruct !!

I hated the damn swamp in tower of latria, I kept getting lost like crazy. It was only when I started to use the awsome "climb-a-tentacle" shortcut that I finally got over my hate for that place.

I think this is only game I have played that you can kill NPCs

I will Help Yurt, the Silent Chief..... then kill me WTF ?!!! or I will Kill You Yurt, the Silent Chief in your small Cage
well at least I killed him and got his cool armor for poison resist for Chapter 5

Killing NPC's in games is fairly common in RPG's these days. Well, at least in Fallout and Oblivion.

UPDATE on Dark Souls.

New screens can be found here (http://epicbattleaxe.com/image-galleries/dark-souls/).

Also, here is a description of Beacon Fire, one of the new mechanics of the game:

In Dark Souls, players have a new friend. The Beacon Fire is a key feature that will permeate the entire game universe, serving a number of important functions for players as they battle on many levels to overcome the uniquely challenging universe. Throughout the world, the small, warm light of The Beacon Fire will serve as a point of subtle relief that glows in the cold, dark world that the player explores.

This will serve as a recovery point for your HP and a respawn point for when you die. (taken from gametrailers.com)

I'm nowhere near close to finishing Demons Souls so this isn't on my radar yet. But it looks like it will be great.

You die always ?
my advice is go to Soul mode, dont use your physical body
of course they have pros and cons

Go to Demons Souls Wiki (http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/) so that you able to finish it
When you finish it you will feel you achieve the Hardest Game ever made ^^

I personally didn't find it that hard. What I do is max out equip weight, wear ring of great strength and put on the heaviest armor possible while maintaining below 50% (mostly Brushwood armor). Then, I use a Moon Uchignata two-handed with a Adjudicator's Shield on my back for auto regen. With the Moon Uchi, I upgrade only magic after maxing out equip and health parameters, and utilize a Beasts talisman with second chance, fire spray, and death cloud in order to ensure maximum flexibility. The most important skill for Demon Souls, of course, is to ALWAYS dodge. I can breeze through levels easily with this one invaluable skill, and have no problem with bosses that can kill me in two hits (because they can't land even one). Anyway, that's how I play, and I also suggest that you farm at 3-5 using the strategy in the wiki; then buy all the supplies you'd ever need and upgrade all the stats that are necessary.
