Dark Souls Game Director Apologises To Console Gamers


Prepare not to die

For Dark Souls fans hankering for a new challenge, the news that PC players will be given additional content of the notoriously difficult RPG is difficult to swallow.
Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition will arrive on PCs later in the year with a whole load of new content and From Software is adamant the additional material will not be arriving on consoles anytime soon.
In fact, it feels so bad about this Dark Souls’ game director, Hidetaka Miazaki, has come out and apologised to players of the original game…
Hidetaka Miazaki: It’s completely understandable that people who bought the original version would ask about the additional content, however, as the director of Dark Souls I cannot say right now about whether or not this content will ever be available as DLC. But, I want to emphasis my sincere apologise to those players that bought the console version that we don’t have any news for them at this point.

360: What exactly is the additional content?
Miazaki: The additional content will include approximately three-to-four new bosses and three-to-four new areas. The numbers are still undecided, but that’s the volume we are aiming for and we will also be including a new storyline. And also there will be more NPCs and more enemies. Players will also be able to wear NPC’s equipment.

360: Were these extras leftovers from the console game?
Miazaki: To be honest the idea of the new areas was designed after the game’s release. However, we did have some of them during development but no one on the team took them seriously. It was designed 99% after the game’s release. During the development of the original console version the idea’s we had were small and were thought to have a minimal impact on the overall experience, now we are able to amplify these ideas.

Why would this make me shake or whatever? I already knew that there is almost no chance for DLC cuz thats how From Software rolls. Namco is really screwing the pooch on this Port, Both sides are getting screwed and From has to be the one to apologize. I hope they part ways with Namco and partner up with someone else for their next game.

I actually appreciate the apology, it's more than most companies do.

From really needs to be picked up by Sony and funded.

A sorry will only get them so far, I appreciate the apology and I'll be happy to let this go if they move on to another publisher that isn't so focused on the damn profit. Sony seems like the best choice since From has some experience with them and they also want another shot at making a Souls game.

Well, the next Demon's Souls sequel will be an Exclusive since Sony owns that IP and they never share :p

But the next Dark Souls sequel might remain a multi-plat, just like its predecessor.

I doubt there will be a direct sequel. They'll probably create a spiritual sequel like Black Souls or Evil Souls; something like that anyways. :p

lol maybe but the spiritual successor stuff was just to create an image of 2 separate games, one an Exclusive and the other a multi-plat. Maybe now they'll go for direct sequels.

I doubt thats the case. Why would they even want to create exclusives for the PS3 when they receive much larger sales going multiplatform?

Demons Souls in Japan is Sony property, outside of Japan it was published by Atlus!

Btw, there is a new 'rumored souls' game TBA on Vita, it's called Soul Sacrifice'!!!

[MENTION=37876]TrueCoolGuy[/MENTION]: But still, the overall sales must'v been higher. Plus, the PC sales have yet to be accounted for.

This should increase Vita sales. And that too by people violently throwing their consoles away out of anger. :p

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
