Described as a dark fantasy title, Demon's Souls won't be about Final Fantasy-style FMV sequences, but rather about gameplay emphasizing a feeling of satisfaction and exploration, in other words "back to the roots". At the game's beginning, the player is asked to create a character by specifying name, sex, face type, hair style, etc. Slightly similar to Lionhead's Fable, the player is free in making his or her own decisions. Even if he or she is asked to save the world, this request can be ignored. The game will continue nonetheless.

System-wise, players have to study an enemy's attack pattern and while defending, exploit their foe's weak spot. Weapons will come with certain limitations. For instance, it might be impossible to swing a weapon with great range in a narrow location. Furthermore, actions in battle will change, depending on whether a weapon is wielded in one hand or both hands.

The game's background story begins with a king discovering a shrine located in a remote mountain range. Inside the ancient structure he obtains a new source of power known as "soul." The prosperity brought upon the country by this new power did not last long, though. Seeking even greater power, the king returned to the shrine. There he woke up an ancient beast which unleashed a colorless fog and demons. The fog, which had quickly covered the entire land, cut off the country's connections to the outside world. Meanwhile, the demons began to rob the people of their souls and eat them. Two decades later, the people are clinging to one last hope.
*More info about the game to be updated later*

Feels like a mixture of Fable and Monster Hunter.

It's amazing that the time taken for locatization for Sony title is getting short or on the same day. Thanks to XBox360 i guess.

Re: Official Demon's Soul Thread

This game, oh sure im gonna buy this game! It seriously reminds me of SOTC ,which is one of my favourites of all time. I'll gladly buy this game first hand at day one. I love frickin giant monsters.

the only thing that will be a factor from buying this is whether the length is long enough

Re: Official Demon's Soul Thread

The gameplay videos so far have been kinda lacking. Hope it is not dissappointing though.
