Demon Souls Servers are NOT shutting down!

Demon's Soulswill not be denied as publisher Atlus announced today that it will support the game's online features for the "foreseeable future." Unlike players in the unforgiving RPG, the servers justrefuse to die!

"While it originally seemed as though it would be unfeasible for us to continue to sustain the servers, a number of developments have made it possible for us to continue to invest in and support our fans as they have continued to invest in and support us andDemon's Souls," said Tim Pivnicny, VP of Atlus marketing and sales, we imagine holding a cat o' nine tails. "For all the gamers who have yet to discover the game's amazing online experience, we're happy to say you can still log on and find out whyDemon's Soulsis still regarded by many as one of the finest games of all time."

The entry fee for electronic sadism is a mere $20 now, as the game is part of the PlayStation 3's "Greatest Hits" collection. The game's online features were intended toend at midnight on May 31, but darkness always finds a way to stay alive.

Good stuff. Here I was thinking the servers would shut down. I would suggest anyone who hasn't played it and has a high tolerance for punishment should pick up this awesome game.

Time to buy Demon's Souls!

This is very exciting news, especially since I still need dat PLATINUM TROPHY!

Also, anybody want to trade for that? I have a crap ton of crap and I'm too lazy to earn it myself, considering I can still use other people for that now.

This is great news for me.

Yoshida, the guy who initially thought the game was crap :lol: Cool stuff.Floppy_Jim

He thought its too had a niche for the western market sadly if thats how SONY executives think then I dont see any bright future for them.

Might pick it up this summer then. Good news.Badosh

Very good news, might play through this gem again.

guess its finally time for me to buy the game and try it out.

there's only really 2 ways to go, either it will kick our ares and you will hate it because you can't play it, or you will learn how to play it and be blown away that such an amazing game was made by a development team that never even had plans on publishing outside of japan.

Umbasa!

That's great! Already platted, but maybe I'll start a new character and help out new players.

don't give false hope you blasphemer

That's great, I'm contemplating to buy it soon, it's only £14.86 at ShopTo - Good deal!

I don't want to miss any decent PS3 exclusives. Mediocre multiplats can GTFO.

Here you go...

It's called "Forsaken Souls".

Sony even registered the domain for it.

That's pretty nice, although I ignored Demon's Souls's online features for the most part. Half the messages people leave are obvious, tricks, or just "Recommend this message".

Guess I can go back to enjoying the hunt though (I'm the hunted)! :D

Slap yourself.

Go out and get this game now. It is THE game that really sets PS3 apart from the other consoles this gen...hell it's the game that set itself apart from all the games that made me want to conclude that this generation was completely worthless.

This game goes beyond the hype of other games, it's the real deal. There is no need to contemplate unless you don't want to experience one of the most defining games of this generation.

I figured since Japan Studios involvement on developing Demon's Souls, I don't think they really needed From Software.

Instead they're getting Keiji Inafune.

Yes I have heard about that game but I would like to see From Software on this project to make it offical. I really don't know what's wrong with sony. They bought so many oh hum and so so game development companies, but From Software is one they definantly should have went into their stash of funds and picked up.

To me one of Sony's biggest flounders this gen was not securing From software as an exclusvie Dev. Just imagine what From Software could do with the kind of disposible budge the likes that ND and Santa Monica see..uhh.
