Games sounds pretty good and i had a great time with the first one. What worries me is that this game is a multiplatform one and i hope they dont pull off an enslaved with this. By that i mean make the PS3 version crap and make the 360 version great. But i doubt that will happen because these devs are more skilled than Ninja Theory.

caseh5398d ago

Should be fine, original game engine was designed with the PS3 architecture in mind. Knowing that if either game was to come across as inferior in anyway it would most likely be the 360.

MasterCornholio5398d ago

So your saying that PS3 owners have nothing to worry about because they will probably get the best version of darksouls.

Just the thought makes me feel better because if theres one thing i cant stand and thats a shaky framerate ( EX Crysis 2)

Masterchef20075398d ago (Edited 5398d ago )

Yeah they even stated that the 360 version would be a port. Which is why i am not worried about the PS3 version.

BTW give me back my name you thief.

I like the portion where he talks about meeting the Wyvern on the bridge. Reminded me of the first time I met the Red Eyes Knight on the bridge and the lightning speed at which he owns you. I'm sure if you've played DS, you know what I'm talking about!

Absolutely my most anticipated title... since the last one!

@MasterCornolio: If you have a problem with shaky framerates, I don't know how you managed to play through Demon's Souls; the worst version of Dark Souls will demolish Demon's Souls graphically! There was even a framerate glitch in Demon's Souls where the framerate would drop to like 10 fps and wouldn't go back till you reloaded the game or died.

DragonKnight5398d ago

Oh man, the first time I played Demon's Souls that knight skewered me faster than I could blink. Lol.

Anderson85398d ago

i lost alot of souls againt them.. they also resulted in a broken controller

DragonKnight5398d ago

I can't blame you. Demon's Souls is one of those games with that old-school, controller breaking gameplay that simply doesn't exist anywhere else... except for Dark Souls now. Lol. But if you play it enough, you come to find that the Knights are panzies with easy to counter patterns. Though I've never been able to parry their spear for some reason. I guess I have poor timing with it.

Tex1175397d ago

It is a rite of passage for any Demon's Souls player to get owned by the red-eyed knight.

Soul Arrow, run away......Soul Arrow....Run away.....

beavis4play5397d ago

that's what i thought of too! i saw the knight and thought - i had been playing for a few minutes when i came to him and thought i'll just counter whatever he does......yea, sure. i was dead REAL quick.

gman_moose5398d ago

Awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on this game. Although I must say I've never beat the Maneaters fairly- I wussed out and shot one of them with arrows from behind the fog. So I'm gonna get owned by the bosses at the end of the level he described.

Anderson85398d ago

i never worked out how to do that so i had to take em head on melee style.... it took me far to many hours

DragonKnight5398d ago

To do it you have to position yourself at the furthest left you can get right up against the fog and not go through it. Then, you aim your shot up towards the fire pot where you should be able to see the Maneater's eyes, turn up the brightness on your tv if you can't. Then, just rain down the pain. Make sure you have at lest a Sticky Compound Longbow +3 minimum, but +5 is the best if you can get the Spiderstones (which is easy) and 200 Heavy Arrows which you can buy for cheap from Patches the Hyena.

firemassacre5398d ago

im in trouble, please recommend this message!

gman_moose5397d ago

Hope they get rid of that, or at least make "help" messages distinguishable from the others.

Troll-without-Bridge5398d ago

Darksiders looks like crap regardless of the platform.

Troll-without-Bridge5398d ago

Eh... i posted on a different window. Apologies.

Like it or not, its time to admit Dark Souls is a horror game

Before Elden Ring and Bloodborne, FromSoftware's talents for all things creepy and chilling gave Dark Souls an atmosphere unlike any other.

This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.

"Like it or not its time to agree with me"

DarXyde205d ago

Dark fantasy, I'd say.

Horror is a bit much. Bloodborne is closer to horror.

gold_drake205d ago

mh ur right actually.

dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.

bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
