Dark Souls

From the news section;
"Namco Bandai confirms the even hardercore Demon's Souls spiritual successor will come out in Europe on October 7, in the US on October 4 and in Japan on September 15."
Good news, wonder if it'll be worth getting an Asian version early if it's in English again.

Official trailer

Link to original Dark Souls thread on the original forum until this one gets upgraded.

Not meaning to sound an arse, but one of the benefits of this rejig makes posting this sites articles redundant
You can post thoughts or comments directly onto the article itself. I imagine(hope) that extra functionality, once implemented, will work in both areas. It will be strange having conversations in different places but the bar at the bottom should keep us informed about what's going on

If the forthcoming upgrades to this site allow a proper forum type discussion on news items etc then I'd agree. In the meantime, we didn't have a Dark Souls thread, so now we do.

I'm happy to have the thread, it will definitely become a monster with various character builds, hints, tips, requests for blue phantom assistance. Just hoping that cross site interaction can happen
You serious about importing? I'd have thought for the sake of three weeks, I'd rather be on the same servers as my friends. Though this game doesn't really foster or rely on inter player relationships as much as some do. I can't bloody wait

Most of the dungeons look like your neck of the woods so you'll feel right at home sugar lips! ;)

@cocko I'd consider importing as the Asian servers will be full permanently with uber-skilled types (including Curtis no doubt). Will depend on the cost and chances of getting it on / near release day.


Still not booted up my Black Phanton Edition, just site there looking pretty but hopefully we'll be all over this one from day one rather than the staggered action Demon's Souls got as word of mouth spread about its greatness.


On a side note, I'm vaguely interested to see if there''ll be any need for game specific threads in the future if the comments thing can become more integrated, we may end up just 'following' the titles we're interested in via the main site and posting that way.

He's more than welcome to come in and do a full on thread whenever he likes, this one will have to do for now though. I've edited the OP to include a link to the proper thread until this place is capable of dealing with it properly.
