Rumor: Demon Souls 2 May Be Announced at Sony Nov. 15 Event

According to a reputable NeoGaf member, “the Demon’s Souls spiritual successor” may be shown at Sony’s PlayStation 4 launch event.

Famousmortimer, who previously leaked the DriveClub delay and the next-gen resolutions for Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, revealed information he was given months ago about the launch event.

Even though I'd love it if it was true, I find it hard to believe. Dark Souls 2 is coming out early next year, There is also Deep Down

abzdine3826d ago

more Sony events? damnnn...

brish3826d ago

I read the article and it says "Demon’s Souls spiritual successor", not "a Demon's Souls sequel".

Dark Souls is the spiritual successor for Demon's Souls. I'm guessing this means Dark Souls 2 is coming to the ps4.

If this is true I'll buy a ps4 just to play that game on it. ... I'd probably buy the game for the ps3 as well just for the online community.

I'm addicted, what can i say! O.o

MazzingerZ3826d ago (Edited 3826d ago )

GG's "Completely different to KZ" IP?

GribbleGrunger3826d ago

Demon's Souls is a Sony owned IP and Dark Souls was a way around that problem. If it's being shown at the PS4 event then it's more likely to be Demon's Souls 2

GTgamer3826d ago (Edited 3826d ago )

I don't know if this rumor is true but i can tell you one thing if it is it will be in 1080p ;) and that's all the time i have folks goodnight :3.

ZodTheRipper3826d ago

If I had to choose between Dark Souls 2 and Demon's Souls 2 for PS4 I would rather like to touch the demon inside her, again.

Dark Souls somehow doesn't come close to what made Demon's Souls so special.

wsoutlaw873826d ago

dark souls 2 isnt next gen and demon souls is sony exclusive. I also dont know much about deep down but I would love a new demons souls, was probably my favorite ps3 game.

Lord_Sloth3825d ago

Yes but that doesn't mean Sony can't show up with a new DeS game for the PS4.

SilentNegotiator3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

Sony owns Demon's Souls. They could easily have passed the IP onto someone else to make.

The whole point of "Dark Souls" was to sequel Demon's Souls on all systems without REALLY breaking copyright.

ABizzel13825d ago

According to developers and Sony it only takes 2 months to get your game up and running on PS4 at playable framerates (my guess 20 - 30fps). Dark Souls doesn't come out until March, and it's only November so that means the game can be up and running by January, and with another 2 - 3 months to go it's possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath, and if it does happen it'll likely be a 1 - 3 month delay (April - June).

gaffyh3825d ago

I absolutely love Demon Souls, just got into from PS+ and am almost done playing. So will look into Dark Souls and teh sequel after I've finished that. But I would love a Demon Souls sequel, but I don't think it will happen because I can't see them wanting to piss off Capcom (deep down) and From Software (Dark Souls), unless From is making the game.

Rynocirator3825d ago

@gribblegrunger There was no "problem" with the fact demon's souls was a ps3 exclusive, it sold incredibly well. The problem is that FROMSOFTWARE was bought out by NAMCOBANDAI and atlus owned the rights to demon's souls, so they made dark souls instead. It could very well be atlus creating a sequel, but you can be sure as hell FROMSOFTWARE won't be making it.

-_- will be missing it cuz ill be at GAMESTOP XD but setting my dvr so woot.

Rynocirator3825d ago

they have live streams on the tvs at gamestops if your local gamestop has gamestop tv, which it should.

MizTv3826d ago

I can't wait to get so mad getting my ass kicked in this game

vishmarx3826d ago (Edited 3826d ago )

really hope so.
but unlikely since FROM is already working on DS2.
dark souls was a spiritual successor. demon souls sequel seems kinda unnecessary at this point.dark And demon n dark werent THAT different to warrant two separate sequels

xPhearR3dx3826d ago

I thought they were. I tried so many times to get into Demon Souls and just couldn't do it. I don't know if it was the whole Nexus thing or what, I just couldn't do it. I absolutely LOVED Dark Souls though.

I'm super excited for Dark Souls 2, I probably couldn't say the same if it was Demon Souls 2 being announced instead.

MetaReapre3826d ago

Well it doesn't seem so far fetched as the reason dark souls was named thusly was because Sony claimed rights to the demon souls name. (Correct me if I'm wrong) if Sony was holding the demon souls name, it could be for this very moment. Also wasn't the director or an important person that worked on dark souls collaborating with Sony on some project that was rumored to be the next demon souls? I never did follow that much so I don't know if that project was ever announced or something.

Killjoy30003826d ago

I just don't understand this. If we already have Dark Souls, why do we still need Demon's Souls? It's the same game...

TheFirstClassic3825d ago

Very different in art style and level design. Demon's Souls was much better than Dark Souls in my opinion.

Killjoy30003825d ago

A sequel of any type, regardless of name, would have those same differences. Ghost disagreer's - lmfao.

TheFirstClassic3825d ago

I disagree. Dark Souls was a spiritual sequel to Demon's Souls, and it fits that term very well. The gameplay is similar in many ways but there is a big departure in terms of personality and design. To say they are the same game is ridiculous. It is pretty rare when a sequel abandons elements of past iterations to bring in new things, usually they just build on what is already there. I can see why you would say if we have one we don't need the other, but they definitely aren't the same game. Personally though, I would love a demon's souls 2 to go along with dark souls 2.

darren_poolies3825d ago

Pretty sure I would actually die if this happened.

Campy da Camper3825d ago

I guarantee you will die....again and again and again....

TENTONGUN3825d ago

i think i will pass. i dont want to smash my ds4. honestly cant handle a stressful game that is so damn addicting

darren_poolies3825d ago

@TENTONGUN

I've never once found Demon's or Dark Souls stressful. But they are the two most rewarding and addicting games I've ever played. DS4 seems pretty durable you should give it a go ;)

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos9h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos7h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje7h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum10h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum6h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum4h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola4h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola4h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos4h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai6h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK6h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville2h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
