Yesterday, we announced that Sony had 11 unannounced titles that would be making an appearance at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. As expected, one of these titles has already been revealed in the weekly Japanese magazine, Famitsu. Demon's Souls, developed by From Software, is said to be an action-RPG that will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3. Obviously, with the lack of RPG announcements for our beloved black behemoth, this annoucement is welcomed with open arms by the majority of Sony faithful.

From Software has also developed games for the Armored Core series, which has been of mixed quality in years past. We've included an image from Demon's Soul below. Excited? Doubtful? Let us know what you think in the comment section.

    Super. Let's hope that From Softwore (Creators of Enchanted Arms and Armored Core) succeed in making a great RPG-title.

    rpg :D:D:D:D, glad they aren't expecting others to make it for them, and then announcing for 360. mmds you should see one of the IU vids, they expain why its called IU, and final fantasy is easy to find out why its called that by looking at wikipedia.

     

    Anyways RPG!

    Are those screenshots running in real-time? Looks promising. Can't wait until TGS until they show more of this game and the other RPGs. :)

    I hope to God this is a blockbuster hit title. PS3 needs more amazing exclusives under its belt. It looks and sounds like it will be awesome. However, I wonder if it will be too much like Devil May Cry. Because just the name of the game makes me feel "Hmmmm... Have I done this before." Though, there is nothing wrong with DMC. I hope its as amazing as it sounds.

    From the makers of enchanted arms .... says enough i guess :(

  23. BlueDragoon0 | Lionheart0

    • 9:48pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    Not holding out for something great considering its from what the guy above just pointed out. But hopefully Sony help these guys to make something worth buying...

    From is capable of good things, they just need the proper vision, something they've had in past versions of armored core but failed in more recent versions... Actually, how did For Answser do anyway?

    Anyway Enchanted arms sucked because it was clearly made by people with poor vision and a need to hit the next gen market fast, which is why it debuted on the 36* in the first place. It was rushed and probably developed by the lowest rank of teams in the company. I mean it's not horrible but there are some seriously rookie level mistakes made in that game the first few hours that most other developers just dont make.

    Good news boys, not mentioned here but it also seems that you get to create and customize your main character in this one.  As far as the screeny goes:

    awesome RPG's @ everyone saying demons don't have souls you talk like you've met one! and let me guess you know for a fact that the chinese dragon is the correct one not the one with wings cause you were there and they did exist, pfft seriously,also @MMD what #8 said

  31. DINAMO788 | DINAMO788

    • 1:30am BST - October 2nd, 2008

    Yay for RPGs but i'd rather not have it be an action RPG. with WKC and KH3 and FFXIII versus we'll have enough action RPGs but we still dont have many if any traditional ones.....thats what the playstation platform has really been famous for..

  32. adorna | adorna

    • 4:59am BST - October 2nd, 2008

     I'd prefer to have some solis standart RPG's instead of all these Action related titles. It looks cool, granted. I'd still prefer something more traditional..

    this game looks great and it will be great under sony publicity the scans looks amazing but we will have to wait for it

    • 9:01am BST - October 2nd, 2008

     Nice.  Can't wait til TGS. SHoC2.  TGS = Sony's playground. Its a shame Kingdom Hearts 3 won't be there.

     @ # 8 and #29

    Whatever Dorks, they're still goofy *** names. I was just saying how the Japanese like to name things all weird like. NO NEED TO TAKE OFFENSE to your precious RPGs. Go suck on a Dragon Ball to the ZZZZZZ power.

    • 10:44am BST - October 2nd, 2008

    WOO! I knew at least one of those announcements HAD to be an RPG!

    MMD don't get salty were just letting you know and i never said Infinite Undiscovery was a good name, but i guess the more you think of it, it does have a meaning like how M$ will never infinitely discover my wallet lol jk.
