Is that what Miyazaki worked on? smh :S
It's from the latest PlayStation Blogcast if you need a source.

Demon's Souls 2 confirmed.

Thanks, I'll add that to the OP
I'm sure Sony could recapture it if they really really wanted.

I've always wondered why Demon's Souls was an exclusive if Sony didn't publish it.

The real Demon's Souls starts here.

Sony did publish it.
The more subtle Demon's Souls references in a post, the more I like someone. What jolly traveling companions are we?
Seriously though, this game was massively influential. You could (and can) see it's influence rippling out into other games design choices almost immediately.
Yes, he joined the PS hardware team and Demon's Souls 2 got cancelled.

So is Demon's Souls/Dark Souls the go-to PR game to somehow signify "LOOK AT US GAMERS! WE ARE HARDCORE LIKE YOU! LIKE US" for everyone now?

Another reason to add to the pile why Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are among two of the greatest games ever made
edit: Yoshida certainly is mentioning these games a lot lately. Demon Soul's 2 announcement already jerk
when all the dust has settled I'm pretty sure I'm going to call those two the two greatest games of the gen.
Someone change the PS4 launch thread tag.
Anyway it's funny since he said he didn't like Demon's Souls at first.
wanna say, GAF'er Verendus has been hinting hardest at this with some Pete Dodd and Demon Nite side teases. Though, I hope they haven't got their wires crossed with something like Deep Down, which Sony seems to be in deep with.
Well, Shu could've genuinely liked those games. That's a possibility.

Wow this is like the Dark Souls of downer comments on a happy thread.
Let's hope for a Demon's Souls 2. The more Souls games, the better.

they not only published it, SCEJ provided development assistance and a producer (Takeshi Kajii). However, they only published in japan/china/korea, as it was not thought to be interesting to the western audience. Despite this, the chinese version has full english text and v.o. and due that fact and positive to word of mouth it was imported heavily. Atlus took notice and obtained the license to publish in NA., Namco-Bandai picked up the PAL license a few months later.
AFAIK Sony did not elect to produce a sequel even after all the positive reception in the west, and Namco-Bandai obviously did. The name change to Dark Souls is because Sony retains the Demon's Souls IP.

I'm convinced they are the reason for the new direction of Zelda

yeah, he already talked about this after the PS4 announcement. How he was addicted to DS, but due to time constraints had to look up vids about parts he got stuck, liked others watching play, etc
This is the Dark Souls of predictions.
nah they're just the go to games to mention if you have good taste
If someone says Demon's Souls, they have my attention. I was nearly done with gaming before I played that game.
Interesting. Not unthinkable, certainly.

I wonder if he watches enb's lore vids
Just announce DS2 for gods sake. I don't want this to be a thing that pops up ever year before E3/tgs/gamescom/vga's etc. where people are claiming it's going to be announced and then it isn't. Like syphon filter, or last guardian etc. i don't want that. I want to KNOW it's coming. Even if it's to say it's coming in 2016.
There are interviews where he explains why. It's interesting to read, and he admits it was a mistake. Already been linked to once in this thread. Check it out.
