[VictimOfScience]

Wow. I was never 100% sure if this would happen, but this is some of the biggest gaming news I have heard in quite a while...mostly since it is my favorite PS3 game to date!! :thumbs:

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- MAY 20, 2009 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc., your shining knights in armor, today announced that they have secured the North American publishing rights for Demon's Souls™, a groundbreaking action RPG experience for PLAYSTATION®3 system. Beautiful, compelling, and unforgiving, Demon's Souls is the hardcore RPG experience PLAYSTATION 3 system owners have been waiting for since the platform's launch.

nice, its a shame my PS3 died on the same day of getting the play-asia.com Chinese/English version of the game. I'm still dying to play this game!!

Eh? What's the problem here? Atlus has been the saving grace of many an obscure Japanese title in the US, not to mention the soundtracks and bonuses usually included. I am thrilled about their involvement. I hope you don't let this take anything away from what is in my estimation the best PS3 game available currently.

WTF is the point? Doesn't the asian version already has English sub option?

LOL. Gotcha. Your concerns are certainly justified here friend.

I ****ing loved Snowboard Kids. 1080 times two, which is like six 360s, which is about 120 N64s, which can run 120 copies of Snowboard Kids... the madness continues!

Demon's Soul looks pretty interesting, anyone got links to some good playthrough videos etc to get a better idea of the gameplay?

Hmm, that Kings voice..

Isn't that the same guy who made that Sorceror antagonist in Dark Messiah?

The EU might have to just import from the US. Trust me, it will be MUCH easier than trying to get it from Play-Asia or any other importer currently.

Also, this guy's playthroughs were what got me to buy the game. I would watch for hours and be totally enthralled the whole time.

I challenge you to care about that whilst playin'. You will be killed before you take your seventh step.

Wonder how much importing from the states is.

Not sure yet, but it has to be cheaper than Asia. I paid roughly $74.00 USD for a game that would normally be $59.99 USD in a store. Could be worse I guess, but I think it is still way better than UK/EU prices....
