Demon’s Souls Preview

Games Radar had the opportunity to go hands-on with the forthcoming North American release of Atlus’ PS3-exclusive action RPG, Demon’s Souls.

But help is on the way, since nearly everything in Demon’s Souls has been designed with the online community in mind. While navigating your game world, you’ll frequently catch glimpses of ghostly figures ((Souls)) running along similar paths to yours. These aren’t pre-rendered NPCs; rather, they’re other players going through their games in real-time. You can watch as they fight the same baddies you fight, and even get tips from them on what to avoid as you watch them fall prey to the game’s many deadly traps. Additionally, every player is encouraged to leave little notes for the community to read, such as (watch out for the dragon here) or (break this crate for a good item) and so on the ground in each stage is littered with such notes. You can even rate other people’s messages and the message’s author will receive a small heath boost in his/her game as a reward, which is a neat little touch.
