Demon’s Souls successor now called ‘Dark Souls’
Posted on February 02, 2011
Project Dark, the multiplatform RPG from the Demon’s Souls team revealed at last year’s Tokyo Game Show, has received a new name: Dark Souls. The latest Famitsu magazine provided new details about the RPG, which Siliconera translated and summarized.
From Software is planning to make Dark Souls as difficult as its predecessor, and similar in style. Players still create their own characters, though there are no longer different job classes. There are tweaks to the world design, as well: the world is no longer divided into levels, instead being one large area.
Other players will be able to inhabit that world in some way, in both cooperative and competitive play. According to Siliconera, you’ll be able to feel the “gentle presence” of other players through interactions like notes left for other players at the place of death.

Every RPG Ever: The Flowchart
Posted on October 22, 2010
Why do you have amnesia? Which party member will the bad guy kill? Is that stoic swordsman your father? You could play a bunch of 50-plus hour games to find the answers to these questions individually, or you can go through this handy flowchart. It’s like playing every Japanese RPG ever made, but all at once.
Appearing in the latest issue of Game Informer, this flowchart gives you a chance to relive the most overused tricks and tropes of the role-playing genre. Since it took up two full magazine pages, the text is a little small for normal Internet viewing. However, you can use the link below to download a poster-sized version of the chart, then zoom in to your heart’s content.
Right-click here and choose “save target as” to download and view the hi-res flowchart.
