Both games have gathered a strong following thanks to its notoriously challenging gameplay.
"Of course, it's not over yet," From Software's R&D head Masanori Takeuchi told GameTrailers.
"We've always been enamoured by dark fantasy action RPGs. That's just been our core DNA and I think we'll continue to utilise that."
And the studio's executive producer Eiichi Nakajima adds that the team will be aiming for a much wider audience next time around.
"We've always been about making games for the core gamer, and they weren't necessarily games that did well financially, which is too bad," he said.
"The success of both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, which have each sold over a million [units] per title worldwide, has made us shift our thinking internally to not just core gamers, but to globalise our products, that they can be successful on a worldwide scale.
"That's now one of the key pillars we consider when we develop games in the future."
MULTI Dark Souls sequel confirmed
- Thread starter HOTSHOT
- Start date
Exactly. You sicken me......... The lot of ya
Anyways.... I hope the announcement on 18th April is the official sequel announcement. I kinda don't like how they are going with this.
I mean, "shift our thinking internally to not just core gamers, but to globalise our products" kinda sounds like they are gonna try and appease the Western gamers and we all know what that leads to. Please From Software, don't pull a Capcom on this amazing souls series. Don't stray from what made this game famous, don't make the game's story easier to understand, don't make puzzles that can be solved by 2 year olds and for God's sake don't make the game easier.
The Souls series is about finding things out by yourselves. I hate how everyone complains that there is no story but in fact there is a rich story hidden deep in the background. Just cuz the story isn't up in your face through out the whole game, doesn't mean that there is an absence of story. Try focusing on the Dialogue and read item descriptions, you'll find a rich story if you try to find it. It won't just hand it over to you, just like it doesn't hand over victory over either. Those who try to succeed will succeed but those who expect to have everything just handed to them will have an empty experience.
This is a core aspect of the Souls series and I hope they don't change it. From Software shouldn't change its games so that its easier for you, you all should change yourselves. There are hundreds of RPGs that you can play for an easier to understand story and what not, go play them instead of nagging for it in the Souls series. This type of game is unique and it should stay that way. Off hand, I only want 2 things. A decent dual wield/cast combat system (Knowing From Software's attention to combat mechanics, they will execute this flawlessly unlike other games) and a more indepth covenant system. Give covenants more depth, like if you join one covenant you'll be hunted down ruthlessly by the another or like the only way to join a certain covenant is to betray another. Basically, give covenant actions and decisions more depth
Nothings confirmed yet, there is still a chance for a PC port. Also the sequel might also be out for PC, hey you never know
The kind that care about real announcements. This isn't a real announcement. This is just a vague PR statement.
The Facebook page teaser is for the PC port. GAF says one of the magazines have leaked a Dark Souls PC announcement but don't quote me on that
Please... no map. Beats the fun of exploration.
And a good story would be nice but I really dont want the silence of the main character to break.
I agree there is no map needed. This is not Sh*trim that we are talking about. Dark Souls was purely for the hardcore gamers. Why should i need map when i can draw one in my head and remember it forever
I hope the frame rate holds this time around. And also the target system which goes haywire sometimes.
Other then that, I want them to create a largely similar experience.

You didn't play the game right if you think that it needs a better story. Go back and play it again.
Big swords, heavy armor, huge levels, huge monsters? What game were you playing?
They should remove the elemental weapons, they made the game way too easy and just made it unbalanced. Magic and Divine weapons can stay cuz they actually scale off your stats, unlike Fire and thunder.
Dude its not that easy just like you are assuming. I played with knight and believe it or not it was hard and challenging and last boss was way hard to beat him unless you are good at pary and it took 3 days to defeat him. My friend was playing with magician or wizard or whatever you call. He killed that last boss only 3 shots . What do say?Big swords, heavy armor, huge levels, huge monsters?

Hard? What are you talking about? Gwyn was one of the easiest bosses in the game, he died in just 3 parries. Yes the game was easy, Demon's Souls was harder cuz boss battles actually took some time and a lot of patience. Fighting those maneaters was a real trial of skill, they should make it more like that. The only hard boss that I had in Dark Souls was probably Ornstien/Smough but thats only cuz they were a dual boss and I was taking them on solo with a way under leveled character.
The Lightning and Fire weapons really threw the game off balance, PvP is full of pricks using Ltng weapons. They give your weapon an unfair boost in damage and basically lose all stat scale which doesn't matter cuz your enemy will be dead within 2 strikes. Parrying these pricks is always fun but they shouldn't be a problem in the 1st place. They should bring back the weapon upgrade system which was in Demon's Souls
