Dark Souls [PS3][Xbox 360]

First Demon's Souls Sequel Details

 

From Software's spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed medieval themed Demon's Souls was first announced at last year's Tokyo Game Show as "Project Dark." Today, we at long last have a followup courtesy of Japan's Weekly Famitsu.

 

The official name for the game is "Dark Souls." From will be publishing the game in Japan, exclusively on the PlayStation 3. Outside of Japan, the game will be an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 release, published by Namco Bandai. The release time frame was announced at TGS as 2011.

 

Dark Souls is just a "spiritual" sequel rather than an actual sequel. It has a completely different story and world, but retains many of the themes of its predecessor.

 

The basic RPG gameplay involving character creation, obtaining weapons and leveling up appear to be in place. But you'll now be adventuring in a fully seamless world, where you can venture to areas you see far in the distance. This differs from the original which had five worlds connected by a shrine hub.

 

Joining the vast world, we can look forward to a great number of weapon, magic and item types. All this promise to contribute to player freedom. And good thing, too, because it seems that From has actually upped the difficulty!

 

Online play will include both cooperative and competitive elements. The indirect online play of Demon's Souls will also return. You'll be able to see images of other players and leave messages for others. Some elements will not carry over, as Dark Souls will not have its own servers.

FUCK YEAH!!! Επιτελους, ενα παιχνιδι που σιγουρα θα χαθω αργα ή γρηγορα.

[grouspen]

έβλεπα ζωντανά το tgs από stream (με τα λίγα γιαπωνέζικα που ξέρω) και αν και είχα δει το project darkness δεν νομίζω/θυμάμαι να είχαν δώσει καμία πληροφορία σχετικά με το τι πρόκειται...

 

χμμμμ.... ώστε είναι "συνέχεια" του demon's soul. Nice....

 

το μόνο που με χαλάει είναι το "upped difficulty" που λέει σε ένα σημείο το άρθρο..... ωχχχχ..... θα ακούσουν πολύ βρίσιμο οι γύρο μου αν αποφασίσω να το πάρω όταν βγει.... αφού το πρώτο με είχε φτάσει στο αμήν...

lexotanil ftw...

[ikaruga24]

Δεν ειναι κανονικη συνεχεια μια και προκειται για spiritual συνεχεια. Οσο να 'ναι ομως αν κρατησουν την βασικη συνταγη και δεν χαλασουν το ολο setting τοτε μια χαρα θα ειναι. Οπως και να εχει περιμενω πολλα.

[grouspen]

Και εγώ περιμένω πολλά το μόνο που θα ήθελα θα ήταν να έκαναν το παιχνίδι να "συγχωρεί" λίγο περισσότερο. κατά τα άλλα όλα οκ...

Απο το neogaf,info απο το famitsu

 

There's a preview on the game in this week's Famitsu. The official title is now Dark Souls. Some info from the preview:

 

- This is the official title of what was previously Project Dark

 

- This time they want to increase the amount of field exploration in the game.

- All fields are seamless, so whatever you can see, you can reach and explore. If you see a fortress or castle walls in the distance, you can eventually get there.

- There will be no map display in the game, just a position display marker.

 

- They aim to make the game just as challenging than Demon's Souls, but also just as rewarding when you succeed. The sense of achievement is important.

 

- The gameplay will be similar to Demon's Souls in concept, where it's about trial and error and learning from your mistakes to play better.

 

- The game does not share the same world and story as Demon's Souls.

- The game will not use the same format as Demon's Souls in terms of having 5 worlds connected via a hub.

 

- Instead all maps in the game will be linked seamlessly in a connected world. The pace of the game will feel more about exploration and discovering locations, which you can then go inside into a dungeon or whatever and explore the interior further.

- There will be more complex level designs in the game using more vertical design in areas and such.

 

- The world setting is based on medieval dark fantasy, and will contain themes like "high fantasy of kings and knights", "death and the depths of the earth", and "the flames of chaos".

 

Edit: More details added.

 

- The character creation process will not be class based.

- The play style of the player character will have much more freedom this time.

- There will be many more spells and items, and the animation and uniqueness of weapons will also be increased.

 

- The online elements are very similar to Demon's Souls. There is cooperative and PvP.

- You can still leave messages, and see players who died at various places.

- There will be no Soul Tendency this time because they don't want to have to use dedicated servers to handle that shit again.

- Instead this time there will be more features allowing players to engage in "mutual role playing" which they say are still under wraps. They'll reveal more when it's time...
