Demon's Souls PS3

Review

Despite arriving in PAL territories about a year after the rest of the world, Demon's Souls is still worth investing in. The dynamic and brilliantly constructed gameplay hints at an extremely deep RPG, and one that all fans of the genre should definitely pick up.

Sony admits mistake not publishing Demon’s Souls

Sony has agreed that declining to publish the cult RPG Demon’s Souls was one of its biggest blunders in recent years.

Responding to a GameInformer article that chronicled some of Sony’s mistakes in recent years and suggested passing up publisher rights on From Software’s PlayStation 3 exclusive was among them, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida replied, "Absolutely! Tell me about it! 100% agree!"

Yoshida went on to explain that the publisher had failed to properly estimate the quality of the final product after limited time with the game while it was still in development.
