Hidetaka Miyazaki, the man behind Demon's Souls, has said he'd be interested in producing an instalment in the series for the Sony NGP.

"I like the platform. It's very attractive," he told Eurogamer during a recent interview.

"We're not considering it right now but there's always a chance. There's always a sense that I'd like to try and do something on that platform."

"If we were going to port [the series] to the NGP, I would probably redesign it so it fits the handheld," Miyazaki confirmed. "It won't be a straight port, if we do happen to do it."

You do this by swiping the others players backpad. And then you run!

My body cannot possibly explain my readiness.

I've been saying for months that PSP2 + Dark Souls = instant buy. Make it happen, From.

Demon's Souls can't be changed to make it portable. You must change yourself.

they know that, and from this it look like they will most likely add pause feature and change other stuff to make it more portable friendly.


and iirc and correct me if i am wrong the games ( Dark Souls+Demon's Souls ) run on Sony's Phyre Engine so I think it will be easy/cheap for them to port it to NGP.

do it. Miyazaki, please do it!!!

Sony, please open your wallet and pay this guy lots of money to bring more Souls games to PS platforms
 
They will probably make the areas more broken up and smaller (so 1-1,1-2,2-1 etc) for portable play
Like a lot of portable titles take a more mission based approach to the progression, DS would be how it is now - only with smaller areas, but more of them

I was just wondering about this.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go back there think about a Pokémon MMO.

I finally realized why Nintendo will never make a Pokemon MMO: No one would ever buy another video game again.

That's probably true. :(

But let's not derail.

I love me some console games on handhelds, so keep 'em coming.

NGP will be too expensive to harbor a demon's souls sequel.

1) You don't know the price.
2) The price of the system has zero bearing on the possibility of a game being released on it, within reason.

It has for me. I don't want to break my beautiful NGP when I get my ass handed to me again, and again, and again... ;)

Awesome game design like Demon's Souls works anywhere. The atmosphere is going to suffer for sure if you can't give it your attention for a decent chunk of time, but I think the gameplay would stand up.

In Demon's Souls provided you aren't attacking or being attacked, you can pretty much set the controller down in complete confidence that you aren't going to die. Nothing's going to hunt you down.

Yes, your next step has a high chance of getting you dead, but you have to take that step first!

Also, the huge sense of "conquest" in knowing once you've cleared the gauntlet up to a certain point, you can always back up through there safely... at least if you're playing in soul form and so aren't going to be invaded. PVP on/off.

I could definitely see a NGP version of Demon's Souls working, not sure how Dark Souls one-worldyness will change things though.
 
Cross platform play and leaving messages over 3G could be brilliant. The again if there is the chance of it being an all new Demon's Souls 2 rather than a Dark Souls port, i'd rather have that.
