Are you guys sure that demons souls is actually hard? I've never played it, but I saw that speed run of the game where within 10 minutes the player bought a magic spell that was powerful enough to take out the final boss in a single digit number of hits.
Excited for dark souls regardless

The final boss in the game is a formality.... Hes not supposed to be hard. Hes a mutated weakend form of once powerful king.... Its not about the story after beating the boss in each world

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Demon's Souls was the first RPG I decided to tackle. Even when all the reviews said it would be unimaginably difficult (it was) but I decided to take on the challenge and with perseverance I passed the game, given it took me roughly 100hrs!! No I never got the platinum, not really into trivial challenges, but as soon as I had put down the controller I knew I was ready for more. Bring on the next adventure...

It's all about knowing the sequence of worlds to obtain/unlock certain items and memorizing enemy patterns. A fast speedrun is typically from someone who's played the game multiple times (new game+, ad nauseum) and doesn't reflect all the trial/error they would have experienced the first time through.

Fuck i need to beat demons souls. I keep putting it off, because I want to play it when I know I can put the most into it.

Enh...Demon's Souls gets name dropped a lot as an impossible game because of it's reputation, but it's really not that hard. You can't really go by speedruns, but if you have any grasp of video games in general, your reflexes will prevail nine times out of ten.
The game is 90% about dodging, and many bosses can be defeated at range without any confrontation what-so-ever. I think a lot of the people who said Demon's Souls was "impossible" didn't bother to beat Phalanx. You just need to take your time, and think, and you'll be alright. The great part is that the game is still out to get you, as Morbid pointed out, and always keeps you on your toes.

I picked up my copy of Demons Souls at a pawn shop for 10 bucks and man I think I played it for about 2 hours and got literally almost nowhere. I wanted to love it but man it was pretty tough I must admit, so I put it down and haven't looked back yet.... one day...
I bothered to beat Phalanx (only took me about seven hours), but I most certainly did NOT bother trying to beat the squid-head things that one-shotted me over and over again on the very next level.
Gotta know when to fold 'em, right? Or, in this case, when to trade 'em in for store credit.

I love all this Dark Souls coverage!!! It took me a few earnest tries to get into Demons Souls but once I did man that game grabs you. Its a combination of the rush you get from conquering areas, deliberate gameplay and the great artful quality of the game. I understand why some people give up but I'm sure glad I didn't.

cannot wait for this :P
i also hope the next 3D Castlevania would play like this.
Demons Souls reminds me of the old games, where timing is required, you cannot just rush things to finish the level, bosses are hard but rewarding, and the sense of loneliness definitely feels the tension here. imagine if a 3D Castlevania where to play like Demon's Souls but with music with Michiru Yamane and art by Ayami Kojima(curse of darkness and lament of innocence style). add notable bosses like Death and Dracula as well as succubus and frankenstein monster and i would buy 3 copies of it :P
