One of the most frustrating parts of this year's Tokyo Game Show is that very little has been revealed about Project Dark, a game that many hoped would be a spiritual successor to 2009 cult hit Demon's Souls.
One look at this trailer and you'll see that it's indeed wearing Demon's Souls on its sleeves. And it's pants. And it's hat. And what passes for underwear in this bleak fantasy universe. The same perspective, the same combat, even the same aesthetic. They should have just called it "Demon's Souls II, Only Now On The 360 As Well".
We still know very little about the game, so for all we know it could indeed be a direct sequel to Demon's Souls. But hey, even if it's not, one quick look at the trailer below shows it may as well be.
Atlus USA is celebrating one year of Demon's Souls today—the "biggest success" in the publisher's two decade history—giving devotees of the dark, dismal role-playing game a pair of World Tendency events to enjoy and/or suffer through.
Starting today, Demon's Souls first birthday in North America, the Kingdom of Boletaria is going "pure white," which players of the PlayStation 3 game know is a nicer change of pace. That lasts until October 18, Atlus says, when the game's world switches to "pure black" for the rest of the month, ending on Halloween.
Demon's Souls recently became a PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits release, meaning those of you out there who haven't enjoyed getting your ass kicked by Maneater(s) can do so on the cheap.
When Namco Bandai finally releases the game's successor, currently known as Project Dark, you're going to wish you had the practice. Trust me.
