New Demon's Souls screens are looking devilishly good photo

Look, I've told you just about everything I know about Demon's Souls, the upcoming PS3 action role-playing game. The next step from here is having us spend some quality time with the title so we can tell you what we think. That's happening soon, as review code is headed to our office as we speak. So for now, enjoy some screenshots.

Demon's Souls is one of those games that can pull off darkness, but still be visually stunning. As you'll see in our gallery below, there's almost always a source of light in the darkness, and that usually comes from someone kicking someone else's ass. And then there's that one picture that looks like a pile of wrongness, seen above. Nasty. What is that? Let me guess: it's something you'll have to fight.

October 6th. I'm ready. Look for our preview and review soon.

In practice, the tiny lightsource crystal you have on your person is about as effective as a cellphone backlight. Got me killed a couple of times in the tunnels.

The game looks surprisingly like a western-style RPG from what I've seen. The only problem in the reviews I've read is that it's ridiculously difficult.

Playasia finally came through for me! After a month of play time, I can truly say this game is my favorite PS3 title. I've been pondering a blog about it, but lately I can't find the time to do much besides game, work and read. World 5 is the last step for my character and at soul level 86 I'm still realizing the enormous depth that is still there for those willing to grind drops and venture on in to NewGame+ or fuck around with the online stuff. Its such a good game, I may just get it again when it gets released officially. I REALLY hope they make a sequel... expansion... or just a whole new game with the same system.

From Software is on a fucking roll! It goes to show, they do much much better with new IPs rather than cranking out Armored Core/Tenchu sequel over and over (though I do love Armored Core with a passion).

I would like From Software to remake Metal Wolf Chaos.

Best game on the PS3. You all should have imported it by now.

Naw, you can forgive them. The text translation bites anyway.

Anyone know if these are legit?
Has anyone heard if Demon's Souls has a UK/EU publisher? These sites would seem to suggest so :S
