Demon's Souls Director Discusses Difficulty, Sequels, And More

"Though I went into Demon's Souls slightly terrified by the stories I'd heard of its intense difficulty, I ended up loving it (just read my review to see how much). Impressed by how the game came together but a bit confused as to why I enjoyed it so much in spite (or perhaps because of) the challenge, I decided to get a behind-the-scenes perspective from the game's creators.

Demon's Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki turned out to be just the man to answer my questions about why they made the game so hard, how it's connected to King's Field series, and even some tips on how to pass the most difficult levels."
