Demon's Souls: Game of the forever

I did have Killzone 2 for a while, but traded it while it was worth something. I get most multiplatform stuff on the 360 as I have a Bluetooth head set thing but it feels weird and its hard to work.

I do think that PS3 would benefit from a simple headset system that comes in the box with the console.

Finished 1-1 and can honestly say I've never felt so satisfied to have finished a first level in a game before. Awesome.

Died quite quickly in 1-2 so didn't stay "alive" for long, guess I need to get to another boss to become human again now

And how awesome is the dragon when it flys over? I love the fact the only warning you get is just the sound of its wings flapping before you have to leg it!

PlayStation Eye Chat: Demon’s Souls
Over the last few months, Demon’s Soul’s has consistently asked-about games here on the PlayStation.Blog. That hasn’t been lost on North American publisher Atlus, who, late last week took some time to chat via the PlayStation Eye. Atlus PR Dude-and-Sometimes-Blog-Poster Aram Jabbari and Localization Guru Sammy Matsushima take on all of your Demon’s Souls questions here:

While we were busy having cookouts and watching fireworks, Atlus spent July 4th telling everyone about the release date and bundle contents for the deluxe edition of their upcoming PlayStation 3 action RPG Demon Souls.

I'm curious to see why Atlus decided to announce the release date for Demon Souls on the Fourth of July, rather than waiting two more days when everyone was back in the office. I am imagining a dramatic series of events involving a speeding bus that cannot go below 55 miles per hour or it will explode, or a bearded man in a darkened room, stroking a Persian cat as he lifts a phone receiver to his face and mutters, "issue the release" in a sinister British accent. Either way, Demon Souls is coming out on October 6th.

The game will run you $59.99, but for $10 you can score the deluxe edition, which comes with a 150-page strategy guide not available anywhere else, along with a special cover to house the game / guide combo. On top of that, fans who preorder either version will get a Demon Souls art book, which GameStop will be out of when you go to pick it up. This always happens.

It's an interesting addition to the Atlus Spoils program, but I'm used to said program adding extra swag for free. This is more of a strategy guide bundle than it is a special edition, isn't it?

Demon's Souls UK release uncertain
Atlus has announced a 6th October release for excellent and exclusive PS3 role-playing game Demon's Souls in the US. But its European whereabouts are uncertain.

"We have no plans to publish it in Europe at present," Sony - which published the game in Japan - told Eurogamer.

Similarly Tecmo KOEI, which brought Atlus series Shin Megami Tensei to Europe, told us there are "no plans" to do the same with Demon's Souls.

Of From Software's previous games, Xbox 360 exclusive Ninja Blade was delivered by Microsoft and Armored Core for Answer was a Ubisoft title.

We spoke to a Ubisoft rep who was "not aware of any plans" for the company to publish Demon's Souls here.

Nevertheless, Demon's Souls is unlikely to go without a European publisher for long, as its quality is unquestionable. Head over to our Demon's Souls review to find out much more.
