Teknoman said:You guys do know there were sorta checkpoints in DS right? Go stand in any area in the game and then go back to the title screen/shut the game off. I believe you'll restart in the exact same spot. With the same amount of souls too...so its not like you had to finish an area in one go.
duckroll said:I made a thread for that too, but no one cares!
From wanted it to be multiplat I'm guessing...Rez said:why didn't Sony green-light a direct sequel?
LaneDS said:I know they couldn't be posted, but did the preview have accompanying screens?
Sounds incredible in any case! And I think the title is a nice nod to the original as well as an improvement (Demon's Souls always sounded a little odd).
The M.O.B said:There is no reason they shouldn't have an "easy" mode that opens the game up to a lot more people.
The easy mode would have checkpoints, more health, and less annoying enemies. But they could still have a hard mode for those who were fine with the difficulty of Demon Souls.
No reason not to unless they are hell bent on earning that "Hardest game of all time" title.
Sweet dreams are made of this stuff.duckroll said:Yes, it's a full blown unveil, with tons of screenshots from what I'm reading. There are descriptions from people who have the mag of various things shown in the screens which hint at game locations, story, NPCs, etc. I'm not translating that because I feel it's not very meaningful without having seen the screens myself. So it's best to wait for direct feed stuff later this week. It sounds really yummy though.

Well I am a bit skeptical on Namco, but I have faith that FROM Software will not deviate from the challenge factor.TigerUppercut said:Why would they? Demon's Souls was incredibly well received because of how challenging but fair it was.
How do you reconcile a noob mode with the online element of the game? You really are playing the wrong game if you want easier difficulty or even a difficulty level. The design of Demon's Souls is intentionally oppressive: there is danger at every corner.

Whether that's an "obvious flaw" or not is debatable. I think a more legit flaw is the aiming and lock-on system.Kyoufu said:I don't think they should ignore obvious flaws either though. Nothing good about being invaded while trying to summon your friend, losing your human form and then having to use either a rare item or killing a boss for another opportunity to play with a friend again. I don't know about you but that needs work.

FROM also registered this domain

but that means for a sequel they are stuck with Namco, no?duckroll said:It's a From IP, but Namco is publishing it outside of Japan, so they would register the trademarks there. From is a Japanese company and has no presence outside of Japan. It's not unusual.
Teknoman said:Compromise. People on friends list = voice chat. Not on friends list? Play as a mute stranger. They could even make it fit in with the way the world works, similar to the stones in Demon's Souls.
