The mysterious “Project Dark” announced at the Tokyo Game Show, got some simply amazing spoilers of the upcoming Famitsu.
While currently its early leaks, here are some of the supposed details mentioned in the article. From what I can tell they’re taking the core gameplay, and making it overall better. Sounds like its going to be quite he epic game!
Dark Souls Information
Basic gameplay based off “classic RPG’s”.
The same theme will be present in Dark Souls. IE Learn from your mistakes, don’t move too fast, etc.
Larger area’s to explore. In addition you don’t warp but start in a base location and walk to the others, these will have higher levels of detail than previously seen in Demon Souls.
Harder than Demon Souls.
Weapons got a great over hull, offering new attack patterns, skills, effects, and much more.
Co Op seems unchanged.
Indirect online elements will remain, like the soul message or randomly seeing someone. However there will not be a server.
No direct link to Demon Souls.
Goal is to get “maximum free playability”, or at least in terms of character.
Dark Souls is set for a Japanese release of 2011, while the US release is being handled by Namco Bandai. Check back with for further details as they arise!
