[QUOTE="KevinPlanet"][QUOTE="Deathtransit"] Sony dropped the ball on Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. They don't deserve to have it exclusive, they apparently didn't realize what a jewel it was and thought it would fail. Guess it didn't figure into their "gritty shooter" approach. They should have pushed it anyways. Demon's Souls is such a cooler name than "Dark Souls", it's a pity they couldn't use it again.Deathtransit
Do you have a link or something to verify what you just wrote?...
"Demon Souls" was not a first party game, it was a third party game published by Atlus, and the game itself was co-developed by Sony Japan Studios
It was published by Sony in the east, apparently Sony did not have enough faith for the game in the Wesf, so they let Atlus distribute it.Yeah, Deathtransit's story is legit. Sony admitted it in an interview. I don't remember with who though.
Dark Souls isn't a sequel to Demon's Souls, which is why Sony has nothing to do with it. It's a new IP according to From. And since you can't copyright titles (it's the law) they can make it sound close to Demon's Souls in order for fans of that game to spot Dark Souls. But it's also not Demon's Souls 2, which avoids any legal issues.
Smart-smart From. :P
