Three minutes of Demon's Souls
Demon's Souls was a surprise PS3 game revealed at Tokyo Game Show. From Software, the makers of the Armored Core series is working on this brand new action game. This trailer is three minutes long, and gives us a good idea for the game's mood. However, we want to see more gameplay footage. We're not getting too hyped over this game, so we'd like to see more footage.
[Thanks, Christian H.!]

Hopefully this will fill the slash and shield needs that I was going to get from Rise of the Argonauts.

Was that any good? What would you rate it out of 10?
kentuckyfried @ Dec 30th 2008 10:32AM
^ Uh, I'd say he didn't buy it based upon the ass-beatdown that Argonauts got in the reviews.
yah for medieval, dark environments. I'll buy it if it's decent enough, it looks good but the storyline should be strong as well.

looks very cool, i hope the bad things where fixed, i mean there where lots of hands-on articles that said the controls where a bit clumsy and i think some slowdowns too?
aahhhh @ Dec 30th 2008 10:32AM
holy shit that thing is huge
Dustin @ Jan 1st 2009 4:47PM
I didnt think the graphics were going to b that good looks good. im impressed
Ja13n @ Dec 30th 2008 12:22AM
I don't plan on getting this. It's just not my type of game I guess.

From purely a visual perspective it looks top notch and nothing short of incredible. Certainly worthy of an eye-gasm. Hopefully it will turn out to be a great game. That makes three Japanese PS3 games in my watch list in White Knight Chronicles, Demons Souls & Yakuza 3.
j.howlett @ Dec 30th 2008 12:32AM
it looks like something i'd be into playing. i'd need hands on to confirm if i'd like the game play because at times what i read is completely different from what i experience
-.- @ Dec 30th 2008 12:35AM
I was thinking screw-this till i saw the dragon at the end, but i wont get my hopes up like i did for haze, these videos mean not so much to me anymore, i need to see some heavy hitting gameplay.
for the time being ill keep my eyes on white knight, (WHERE IS THE US/EU RELEASE?)

And that's what I keep saying for games like FF13 and VS13. Show some gameplay, enough with the trailers.
From Software's Ninja Blade for 360 actually shows some substantial gameplay in their recent trailer. And while it may not be to some's liking, at least you get a feel of what the game will play like.
I loved the Otogi games, so I can only hope for the best from these new titles.
Brute @ Dec 30th 2008 12:42AM
Hopefully, this game will own.
sean @ Dec 30th 2008 10:32AM
looks like it could be really fun. hopefully it doesnt end up crappy.
Valr @ Dec 30th 2008 1:02AM
Looks like a mix of Oblivion and Shadow of the Colossus. Freakin' nice.
Araskaz @ Dec 30th 2008 1:09AM
Exactly my thoughts.
wocyob @ Dec 30th 2008 2:59AM
oblivion yea i can see that.. but shadow of the colossus
i didnt see that...
but i must say from what i seen and heard..
i hate the music "wow i wanna cry after hearing that"
and if that was game play there then it looked kind of blah
but time will tell and i hope this game sucks me in but for now looks kind of a let down
Ranelar @ Dec 30th 2008 4:06AM
Wow, those were the exact 2 games I was thinking of as well. Uncanny :P I never actually played shadow of the colossus though, only saw it in the Adam Sandler movie :P
iamkid @ Dec 30th 2008 1:08AM
visually, it looks absolutely great. in terms of what gameplay was there, your actions looked pretty linear--move, attack, move
Popfrogs @ Dec 30th 2008 1:26AM
Damn, that game looks pretty tough. I like the character design but the main character's duckbill helmet is wacky.
Anyone else find it strange that Japan does medieval games so well? Castlevania really captures that whole spirit well and this game has the same flavor. The DMC series is similar.
Jason B. @ Dec 30th 2008 1:32AM
I'm not too sure on this game. Sure it looks nice, but when it comes from a company who made Eternal Ring, Evergrace and Enchanted Arms you just have to wonder how good it will be.
ryan @ Dec 30th 2008 11:56AM
For action games they made Otogi 1 and 2. Those were damn fine action games for the original xbox.
Dehshizknight @ Dec 30th 2008 1:33AM
I believe that trailer just sold me. Yup, I'd like to see more gameplay footage of that.
I was surprised that there was in-game footage in that trailer, though.
Man, even the small unknown exclusives are looking good for the PS3 in the future. I'd like more information on Quantum Theory first, though.
carlos @ Dec 30th 2008 2:36PM
hmm very intresting.. i gameplay seems a bit slow for me, the mood and movements remind me of God of War, it looks good but i dont think it will play that good. the gameplay howere comes to me as wen the game comes out there will be suppn missng.. neverless looks great and hope to see more devolopment
jbni @ Dec 30th 2008 4:59AM
The dragon at the end practically had the same head as the Alien Queen out of the 'Alien' movies.
Still pretty sweet looking though.
Martin hald @ Dec 30th 2008 6:18AM
First 1 minute is a great presentation! But i'm curious if the gameplay would stand up to the trailer!! I hope so!
PeaceMaker_XIII @ Jan 2nd 2009 4:06AM
Looks pretty good, but we hace to watch more, looks promising
RazLeBoL @ Dec 30th 2008 7:48AM
The end of the trailer was all gameplay. Looks really good. Now we just need to know if it plays well.
PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Dec 30th 2008 10:31AM
Hmmmmmmmm
Looks nice.......I might rent it to see what its about.......assuming its released HERE as well....
Emophia @ Dec 30th 2008 11:01AM
I don't know why, but I found myself casually stroking myself while watching this.
Mr. Joe @ Dec 30th 2008 11:25AM
looks good. i just hope it feels good, too.
RazLeBoL @ Dec 30th 2008 1:37PM
Where did my comment go? Anyways, I was saying that the end of the video is all gameplay and it really looks nice. Looking forward to this.
Meowsauce @ Dec 30th 2008 3:52PM
this game kinda looks like a zelda and fable mix, but then again i havnt played oblivion or shadow of the Colossus.
Brian @ Dec 30th 2008 4:35PM
Wow that trailer got my attention, can`t wait to see more...... and I hope the gameplay live up to the graphics.
Baddog70 @ Dec 30th 2008 6:24PM
Umm, the on-screen advertising was really a turn-off. If this continues, I for one will not come to sites affiliated by joystiq fanboy sites included. It was totally annoying. Is it not enough that these websites are flogged by ads on every side, now on top of the video too? Grrrrr!
RagingStormX @ Dec 31st 2008 12:23AM
Looks interesting....I will keep an eye on this. Also, a good demo seems to be in order.
Levi @ Dec 31st 2008 12:05PM
Video looks fairly boss. I think they overdid the opera thing tho
Dan Rabot @ Jan 2nd 2009 9:47AM
It's a bloody shame the Monster Hunter franchise went Wii. Would have made a superb PS3 game.
