Can't tell from that trailer but I hope the janky death physics are gone. For a game that was so incredibly atmospheric and immersive, that tended to take you out of it a bit.

Yep, it's got that same slimy Demon's Souls look. I just hope the character creator is better than Oblivion's this time around.

It looks the same in every conceivable way, from the engine to the art direction. Some optimization here and there I imagine. Mind you, this is not a bad thing. Demon's Souls is a spectacular playing and looking game.

It's a bit strange that they are rebooting/making a spiritual successor after one game. I think you have to contribute this to the realization that Demon's Souls is a terrible name and they just wanted to get rid of it.

I don't see it. I thought DS looked really good, and this looks just as good.

I definitely see it, in terms of the visuals.

By the way, Demon's Souls is only $22 on Amazon right now. Anyone who still hasn't tried it, seriously, get on that shit. You're missing out so terribly.

If by "terrible" you mean "owned by Sony", then yes, very terrible.

I can't handle that much awesome. What the fuck?! It looks so goddamned good. Nothing else in 2011 even matters to me now.
Except for Skyrim of course.

IP is owned by Sony. Sony didn't want to foot the bill for a sequel and fucked up the publishing of the original. Make *new ip, but keep everything but the name and story the same*= profit

I don't know why you would even say that. This absolutely is Demon's Souls 2.

Did the creators say that it's another connected online world with characters always able to invade/leave each other messages?

Are you cut off from them with an Xbox Live silver account?

This isn't true, but it doesn't matter, either.

SO THE WORLD MIGHT BE MENDED.

Look absolutely fantastic.

Monster and world designs seem to be that same dark Demon Souls style, and the swamp area in the first couple of seconds gave me nightmarish flashbacks.

Combat seems like it might have a couple of improvements too.

The name is sort of stupid, but eh, i can let that slide.

That skeleton boss is some god damn amazing design. Hell everything in this game is spectacularly designed. Love the creatures and the knight armour.

Sony owns the Demon's Souls IP. They couldn't use the name.

2011 is one of the best gaming years to date. I'm not watching that trailer. Already the pics and gifs are hyping it up. I know its going to be good.
