Today marks the launch of Demon's Souls, the PS3-exclusive action RPG with an unnecessary apostrophe that is busting people's balls. This game is the kind of game that needs a wiki, so Atlus has started one up and is looking for your additions to it.
"Demon's Souls is a game of shared learning, a game that engenders community and cooperation," stated Robyn Mukai, Marketing Manager for Atlus. "What better way to meet those ends than to host a community-driven information resource on the game's official website?"
Thanks for that, Atlus. But where was that when I was playing the early review copies?
They continue: "The challenges that lie ahead in the Kingdom of Boletaria will be easier to overcome if we all work together, so we're asking anyone with something to contribute to please come forth, create an entry or expand an existing one, and join the effort to deliver the Kingdom of Boletaria from its terrible curse!"
I know that a lot of you have already been helpful in passing tips to me on how to succeed in Demon's Souls. Thanks for that. If you'd like to share with the rest of the world, get to it.

IF ONLY MINE WOULD SHIP.
From pics, the strategy guide looks meaty, so it might take a while (I think).
Unless someone decides to copypasta the strategy guide.
Oh, and best PS3 game to date. :-)
@People who think this wiki is new
For the time being, the import wiki is a GREAT resource if you're stuck
still the guide is not bad, just don't expect to be wowed. i thought there would be maps, but there aren't. the online stuff is better, but i hate having to lug my laptop around with me, so the booklet is convenient for that.
the controls are silky smooth. when i saw videos i thought it'd be clunky, but it's got this real nice sense of finesse. they should demo the tutorial area. lol. nothing like the actual game, but it does give you a good sense of the controls.
Really? Wow, that's a little disappointing.
As for the strategy guide, I think it's pretty awesome. It's not detailed as far as the walkthrough goes, but there are tons of tables of info on every spell, item, weapon, class, and enemy in the game. The walkthroughs are basic but each enemy has a write-up that describes a strategy to fight them, etc. There's also detailed info on building a good character, etc. I'm very happy with it, overall. I didn't want a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough, because it would take away from the feeling that I'm completing the game based on my own ability.
Lame, but at least I has game.
it's still worth the ten bucks of pre-order though, don't get me wrong. i just get lost easily in games, so maps are generally the primary thing i like to have a guide for. i can't remember how many times i'd get stuck in a game because of something stupid like, i just never noticed a door somewhere or other.
WHAT THE FUCK
RAGE
RAGEEEE
I got the deluxe edition today too.
But if you took out the apostrophe, then you'd just have two plural nouns one right after the other. It would be like saying "pears lamps."
@dexter345: if you took out the apostrophe, you'd probably take out the "s" as well. i think it's meant to be ambiguous. in the game demons get human souls, to power their souls, so the human souls would be "demon's souls" in that they are possessed by demons whereas their own soul would be "demon souls" in that they are souls of the characteristic of demons.
