Story-wise, Demon's Souls tells of a flourishing medieval kingdom which transcended into chaos because its king had accidentally awakened an ancient power, causing the kingdom to be enshrouded by a strange fog. As no one ever made it out of the fog, the outside world remained oblivious as to what really happened… or whether the population trapped within were still alive, for that matter.
One day, a survivor emerged from the fog and told the outside world of demons rampaging the kingdom, and that people trapped inside were either dying or going mad. And with the fog slowly spreading its way across the land, other heroes began making their ways into the fog in a desperate attempt to find the cause of the phenomenon and stop it before it was too late.

This is fun..lol..
You know this..conrtibuting thing....
Edit: It was approved so fast I couldnt change the pic.
.
My favorite part of Demon's Souls was the atmosphere that just oozes out every corner. This game sets the mood of its plot very well and retains it for the whole game. That's hard to do. :)
Pizzagaki = Another jealous Xbot. His child-like tantrum is so funny so watch!!!
EDit: Woah, wrong post!!!WTF happened?
Hmm.....
Then check the sales of this game and realize that you dont understand the meaning of quality and good.
You probably consider yourself to be part of a minor elite group that know better then the majority out there.
Lolz.
Hahaha
Jump out, bots, and play beyond. Or stay stuck in last gen.
Soon i will plug a dx11 card in my pc.
So you guys shouldnt act like you got the latest tech, blu ray is based on a 40 years old technology (optical media), and the ps3 itself cant even handle dx10.
I have a pc to remain up to date with the latest tech, and i have an xbox360 to play the defining exclusives.
PS3 = Unneeded.
@above
360 cant make AAA?
360 got the most A+ rated games, and the highest selling software, even though its plagued by piracy.
Your ps3 is nothing but white noise when it comes to AAA.
@below
Yes, very intelligent statement you just made.
@panthers
Sales matter for one reason only, it attracts more games.
I am already guaranteed my next choice of console (xboxnext) will have the most awesome exclusives possible.
The ps3 however is in a sinking pit, and is bleeding its quality away.
Until it hits the sega road.
Killzone 3 will be an Xboxnext exclusive, just like how Sonic is now gracing on the nintendo platform.
And by going MS side, Guerrilla will have its biggest successes ever.
Only on the 360, games can set records.
The damn ps3 is keeping the developers from my own homecountry smaller then they should be.
Which is another reason to dislike the ps3.
EDIT; I guess stupidy is contagiuos, Oh well.
It is if you want to play Uncharted, Killzone, inFamous, GOW3, R&C, and an ever expanding list of exclusives.
But I mean if sales is all that matters, then you should just spend all day staring at VGChartz with your hardon.
So Wii Fit is the greatest game in the world then? Lol, sales don't determine the quality of a game. Sometimes great games sell well, and sometimes they don't. Grow up, kid and you'll realize that.
Yea. Like Halo:ODST which is basically a map pack running on the Halo 3 engine.
'Triple'A'Station 3' ;-P
Everywhere I go Pizzagaki is making a fool out of himself and showing his fanboy colors. He's always calling people fanboys, but I think he's one of the biggest on this site.
Then check the sales of this game and realize that you dont understand the meaning of quality and good. "
lol
its funny that you say this about this game
but in gt5 VS forza or any other game
you say
"wait fot reviews score"
"xbox360 to play the defining exclusives.
PS3 = Unneeded. "
and its funny that you say that about the PS3 yet it got mors AAA exclusives
OWNED
"The game hands you absolutely nothing, never holds your hand, and leaves you to sink or swim based entirely on your own ingenuity. In fact, the developers place such a strong emphasis on player independence that its quite possible to die within five steps after walking through the first gate (provided you're careless enough). I like to think of it as FromSoft's way of saying that the gauntlet is thrown."
"The reward of succeeding at a game like ... is similar to the feeling of accomplishment a person might get after making their way through a vast wilderness, or from standing atop the summit of a mountain after an arduous climb. So much of the players persona gets involved that it becomes more than a simple game—Its a challenge of your very mettle."
http://www.gamecritics.com/...
a lot of similarities but Demon's Souls will be better..
How the hell do you expect anyone to take you seriously with your stupid comments? It's obviously you are just a butthurt fanboy and Ps3 Hater.
You say people who love this will be in elite minority? So all the reviewers (every single so far weather well known or not) don't know what they are talking about? WHat are you going to do in the future when they give a game exclusive to your precious console good reviews? Can we then say that by your logic it BS score?
That first comment was stupid enough but then you go on to reinforce how retarded you are in a second comment stating you have Direct X 10.596494723784836428347193286 43 plus (/sarcasm) and that Ps3 is not need... Yeah sure I guess you can play GOW3, Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, GT5, Heavy Rain, Last Guardian, Rachet and Clank, and countless other exclusives. In fact by your logic the 360 is more NOT need than the Ps3 since your PC with Direct X 10.596494723784836428347193286 43 plus (/sarcasm) can play 80% percent of the games your 360 has, and do it much better!
Congratulations Pizzagaki Achievement Unlocked...
SELFOWNED
If there was one major PS3 exclusive in 2009 that I was certain was going to get poor quality reviews, it was Demon's Souls. I thought for sure we'd have reviewers crying about how challenging the game is and just slapping the standard 7 or 8/10 score on the game.
If DS keeps getting marks like this U2 better watch out. The knight might win over the theif.
Overrated games dont sell.
More AAA's for us
Gaylo and Flopza for you.
"Sad Face"
Its funny how theres a group of people on n4g that always acts like a certain exclusive is going to be the homecoming of jesus, like lair, haze, lbp, ratched, resistance and killzone2.
When i check the global sales of these titles afterward's i just laugh my ass off.
Forza2, 4,5 million copy's sold, Halo3, 10,5 million copy's sold.
The smile on my face after i check how much ps3 exclusives sell = priceless.
And yes, sales matter, quality equals high sales.
If something you think is quality doesnt sell, its time to redefine your opinion of quality.
this game overrated? lol fanboyism at least its mildly entertaining.
EDIT: Alright theres only so much i can take, Halo the most successful franchise? LOL its a successful one no doubt but come on, halo 3 is the only halo game thats sold over 10mil, ff7 done that alone, not to mention gran turismo.... oh thats right you heard of a thing called GRAND THEFT AUTO? san andreas alone sold 22mil copies you retard. sh1t if you want to look even more like an idiot go look up a thing called "Mario"... god damn if your gonna spout sh1t atleast make it sound real.
There are still a bunch of PS exclusives that haven't been released on the ps3, what has the xbox got waiting in terms of big names? basically nothing.
Whoa, I guess when people called you retarded they weren't kidding.
Why to bring in sales yet again? why the hatred?
Game is getting praise all across the board. Probably the best RPG so far on any platform this gen. Is that praise the very cause you are here hating Demons Souls? It's not a nice thing bro. Be a gamer.
@pizza bellow
Dude you need to take it easy. The last week of good PS3 sales and good news is really hurting you.
Demons Souls sold enough just in Japan to warrant a sequel. Atlus is bringing the game to NA. I'm sure they have low expectations for it. It's a unknown ip, and somewhat niche game. I hope it does well enough, I think 500K copies sold in NA would an awesome number for this game.
EDIT:
@pizza bellow
Gamercritic review (this review is still on main page): 9.5/10
Eurogamer (xbox's fans heaven) : 9/10
and several others are praising DS.
BUT THE 500KZZZ in one WEEKZ LOLOZLOZLLROFLZZZZZ
Remember that?
Sales matter, if something is good, people are more eligible to buy a product, if a product aint good, it just wont sell very much.
Thats the core principle of business.
If you people dont understand business you should just go and play the games, and not discuss them, anyone that discusses games has to face the fact that sales define success.
If i would work for Capcom HQ, and tell them that sales done matter, they would toss me out of the window.
A bad sales projection does not make good games.
Btw people, your all avoiding my statements and respond with stupid off topic remarks.
Truth hurts doesnt it?
@flipmode below
I would consider it a punishment to play Demon souls.
EDIT: These reviewers are ps3fanboys.
They will just claim something is gold, so they dont have to look up to 360 reviewers.
@noctis omitto.
Dude, very mature.
Youre scared to stay ontopic are you not.
Your not hurt that i call you Noctis Omitto are you?
@bubbles,
Another offtopic comment.
You like making a fool out of people who are smarter then you, dont you?
@raztad.
Unknown ip, huh, low expectations huh.
Mass effect, Gears of war, Halo, Forza, Alan wake, Fable.
All newcomers, all started at the first title by selling millions.
The new ip, low sales excuse is only used for niche titles that suck.
And lets not take these two reviews seriously, cuz you guys never take them serious when they review an xbox game.
How the f do you expect me to take them serious when you come running to me with a positive ps3 review from them.
Then i just smirk with an insulted look on my face.
@Zombieman1
Wii sports = most brilliant business move ever!
Nintendo got something that Sony lacks, marketing power.
A good marketing move is indeed quality, the games sells a lot, and 90 % of the people who bought it love it.
So yes, Wii sports is one of the greatest games ever, Casual is not officially a genre, thanks to Nintendo.
So i wouldnt look down on the casual genre, cause theres a lot of potential and success in it.
And when it comes to Forza and GT, i look at attach rate, imagine if the 360 would have sold 120 million times by now, like the ps2 did back then.
Then halo would sell 75 million copy's, and Forza would sell 40 million copy's.
Just face it, Sony isnt in the market for us gamers, thats why i chose a 360, cuz i am a gamer.
Best Part is I get to play Demon Souls another AAA and you don't!
XD
EDIT-"I would consider it a punishment to play Demon souls."
Well reviewers say otherwise XD can't wait to play it and Uncharted 2 !
Edit-"These reviewers are ps3fanboys.
They will just claim something is gold, so they dont have to look up to 360 reviewers."
So EuroGamer are PS3 Fanboys for giving it a 9/10? Hahahah your to easy kid these good news for PS3 must be KILLING you. LOL!
Can't wait to play it!
bubs + pizza, or go switch to ur ugli ass cookie account so we can further assess how dumb an xbot truly is
and btw u dumb fk, u DONT work for capcom so ur entire 30 posts are null. thats why yr gettin laughed at cuz ur talkin sales and 'If' stories but sales has absolutely nuttin to do wit u personally.
Sales make betta games lol. So halo and gears must be the exceptions huh
edit: how is the latter part of my post off topic. i seem to be the only one who countered and thwarted your sales logic. read it again or should i burn my post to a CD so u can listen to it?
well than i guess Wii Sports is the greatest game ever made because it sh!ts all over Halo with it's sales number , teh salez doesn't matter dumbfvck , Ico an amazing PS2 game did it sell Halo numbers ? no does it take away from the quality ? no sales doesn't make a game better or worse and by your logic the GT series is way better than Forza , Forza 1 sold only 1 million while GT1 sold 10 million Forza 2 sold 4 million GT 2 sold another 10 million i don't know how much Forza 3 will sell but it won't sell nearly as much as GT5 it will sell 9 to 10 million since all full GT games sell around that number , really pizza get a life your here always trying to bring down PS3 just because you don't have 1 and it's getting alot of amazing games really ppl like you make me wanna do things i won't type because i don't wanna get banned again from open zone so GTFO you piece of sh1t 360 freak
He said,"And yes, sales matter, quality equals high sales."
Ok Quality equals high sales really??? lmao that couldnt be further from the truth. For example ummmm yea you know that little white box CALLED THE WII? Yea? well Wii Sports!!! nuff said!
Did you ever once consider that since the 360 has been the cheapest console the longest this gen and other than the wii, it has the most little kids on it? Dont you think guys in power ranger suits will appeal to those kids? Dnt you think all they have to do is ask their parents for something called HALO? What parent wouldnt buy something called HALO for their kid? lmao! All big sales for halo are mostly from the kids, which is why you hear tons of kids swearing, and being racist on it. The PS3 does not appeal to the same crowd as the 360 and you know this. More kids on 360 = more sales not more quality. You need to fix your definition of Quality not me.
Wait a sec how well did crysis sell?? Isnt that quality?
You also dnt take in account that advertising does anything for a game sales. If you advertise a mediocre game dnt you think its gonna sell more advertised then unadvertised??
Cant wait to play DS!!!!!!
You are fighting against logic dude.
Out of all those games, only TWO are actually rpg. One of them was almost the only decent rpg on the first xbox (so it's far from being a new ip) and ME didnt sell very well. By your logic ME was a resounding flop.
NVM, you cant be helped. I guess you are just jelous as many here are pointing out. Good luck playing $60 Halo:expansion pack.
tell me your not serious because that's the biggest load of bullsh!t i've heard my life your no gamer i'm a gamer my best friend is a gamer you are not you care more about sales numbers and which console is better that's not a gamer a gamer is someone that plays games for the love of it and doesn't matter what game is better than the other he just wants to play games and doesn't care for which console as long as he can play it a true gamer doesn't go bash a system he doesn't own just because he doesn't own it a gamer doesn't think about that and you pizza are no gamer and bring shame to both the 360 community and the gamer community for your fanboy ways they've blinded you and made you in to a dumb motherfvcker you aren't worth the time i feel srry for you , you can't enjoy what you have without trying to insult your console of choices competition you are 1 sad little man
Wow, anyway back on topic... Demon Souls is getting nothing but stellar reviews, even by Eurogamer (!!! how is that possible).
This has become a first day buy for me now. Looking forward to being "immersed" as one reviewer put it.
i bet hes creaming his pants at the shear thought of this game. i bet he wants to play it so bad, but hes so poor, that all he can do is argue the opposite.
the more u post the more i think ur still a child. go get a job.
You're really a laugh, pizza. The game is getting high praise from everyone, yet you keep hating. And much worse, you're taking a bunch of nonsense and looking more and more like a foolish child.
"Sales equal quality." Really? So according to this, Wii Fit and Wii Sports are the best games this generation. Hmm. Interesting.
You don't like the game. Fine. But, don't come in here, crying and whining and bringing that "sales equals quality" garbage. It only makes you look even more pitiful than you really are.
You have fun playing your $60 expansion to the overrated Halo 3. Meanwhile, I'll enjoying playing a high quality game in Demon's Souls.
nice damage control
Wow, they seriously weren't kidding when they said you are retarded.
Quality doesn't always equal sales, it requires plenty of marketing, and by that I don't only mean publicity, I mean reaching a target audience; psychonauts, Okami, ICO, etcetera would have sold better if they were about a retarded green power ranger that tries to pass off its story as "just as good as star wars" (LMFAO). But anyway, a lot of developers have been inspired by these games, so much that they are modelling their games based on these innovative titles and using these ideas in generic looking games so that tards like you can enjoy them.
And no, sales doesn't equal quality either. But if that's your definition of quality, go jack off with Wii Fit, dipsh1t.
they only have 3 red rings in their chests
5/5 rating, :-(
:P :P :P :P :P :P :P
cry me a river bots :P :P

EDIT: Posted before reading article. Got my answer. Could someone describe it to me though. Like can you play through the entire game co-op? All I could find was that you can play through different levels co-op.
sucks if you lose
This should help to answer any questions you have regarding the online gameplay mechanics of Demon's Souls. Directly from the Publishers/Developers mouth to boot. Enjoy: http://www.atlus.com/forum/...
Praystations games do very nice these days
Chao ouside Mudda Fvkkaa
If they could do this to Tenchu I think my head would crack from smiling.
Great game but its only 14h long :(
this game is getting glowing reviews
You're out of you're mind if you think DS is only 14 hrs long. That game is easily 30+ hours long...even more depending on how fast you figure things out.
If you don't know what the hell you're talking about, don't embarrass yourself and contribute stupid comments that have no bearing in reality.
I love how Pizzagaki is trying to fight off every single person interested in this game all on his own. This guy must be one really deluded fanboy.
man listen for once in ur life why dont u go and pick up something microsoft isnt telling u to buy u douch bag
'PlayStation 3' is the Magic Number...

"enjoy your title that you consider quality. Then check the sales of this game and realize that you dont understand the meaning of quality and good.
I bet this guy hasn't got a Wii. He's two-faced.
"You probably consider yourself to be part of a minor elite group that know better then the majority out there."
I think you just described youself mate.
Lolz
Answer me this question, Pizzagaki. Do you consider Wii Fit quality?
Even if this doesnt come out in the UK I will definatewly be getting this =D
Pizzagaki's favorite movie is Tinkerbell and ( omg, i think its a she-male ) its favorite novel is The Ugly Duckling.
Now it's turning into a must have. I NEED THIS GAME NOW!
Another AAA rpg for PS3, meanwhile Xbox 1.5 has ZERO. They have garbage rpgs. LMAO!
Sony's rolling out AAA's like crazy!! Demon's Souls, I welcome you!!
Getting the US special edition for sure.
Anyway one of the best game this gen pick it up!
