Atlus posts its Demon's Souls blog, my heart warms (shortblog)
Josh Tolentino | 9:55 PM on 06.10.2009 11 comments


In the grand tradition of "oh hay, I haven't posted anything in a while let's just put this thing up," I regurgitate the Atlus newsletter and let you know that they've launched an official Demon' Souls blog to prep the faithful for the pain.

The first entry is mostly general info that I or anyone who's read my blogs or reviews will know, but as always Atlus PR wizard Aram Jabbari (aka AtlusARAM) put out a great line:

"Gamers who want to step up to a real challenge will find exactly what they crave. Some fans who followed the game’s E3 coverage seemed to conclude that the difficulty of the game had been toned down in some way, that Atlus was of the mindset of making the game easier. Not going to happen. We get off on your tears, so expect Demon’s Souls to be exactly as soul-crushingly hard as it was when it was released overseas."

Family fun!

Anyway, doing my part, here's the intro, which is different from the CG trailers. The voice acting is cute, and the naming conventions adorably Japanese.



Sixth saint!

I'm stoked they haven't westernized the difficulty.

Thanks for the update! I was able to get my hands on it at E3 and loved it.

So how is this different from the version I already have?

I really want this game. Right now.

Honestly, though, I wish I could make a thread on the Atlus board, but I get error messages for some reason... I just want to see if they could possibly change the save system, since no version of the game lets you back your saves up right now.

I have no interest in this game.

"We get off on your tears."

Well, considering this is coming out on a console I don't own, they can keep those tears.

"We get off on your tears.."? If that's even remotely true, Atlus's office walls must be 'painted' absolutely white by now o_0
