they had allready with dark souls a little bit and it was obvious that they will keep doing it for part 2 to get mor players.
Felt this too... Once they realized their niche product was appealing to a larger audience than expected, the greed apparently set in. Namco Bandai takes the lead as publisher, and something as corny as a numbered sequel is announced. Then all that nonsense about trying to reach the skyrim demographic, yadda yadda...
The review embargo and the blatant false advertising (except a handful of poor looking screenshots) put the icing on the cake.
This is an old story, and things never change. It's the story of franchises, maximum appeal, and the love for money.
Sign me up for whatever the Dark Souls director is working on..
Oh sheiit.. What if Dark Souls 2 is to Dark Souls, as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is to 2.. A teams and B teams simultaneously working on separate projects.
.. Well whatever, it's all a bunch of shitty sequel crap and it only gets worse as a franchise (god damn I hate that word) develops.
