Latest Dark Souls Screens Are Big on Monsters
Written Monday, July 11, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

We're scared of Dark Souls. Having played it in Namco Bandai's mock-medieval booth at E3 2011 and died countless times within the space of a relatively short demo, it's harder than we thought it might be. And we played Demon's Souls too, before you ask. Make of that what you will...

For an account of our hellish hands-on with Dark Souls, give our E3 2011 preview a read. Before you click that however, check out this latest batch of 15 screenshots in the gallery, which feature huge bosses and some nasty looking battles with the game's smaller, but no less threatening monsters.

We'll be stocking up on the diapers in anticipation of Dark Souls' impending release on October 4th, 2011 in North America and October 7th, 2011. The extra absorbent kind, please.

The main character seems a lot like the one from Dante's Inferno.
Is there supposed to be any connection ?

I'm bizarrely drawn to this game. The idea of it just fascinates me.

Demon Souls was damn hard and the developers promised that this one would be even harder. They should sell a special edition that comes with cheap breakable items that you can throw at the wall while playing.

Haha, the huge boss type thing in picture 3 looks like a mutated Isaac Clarke, except instead of a Plasma Cutter, he has a tiny wooden hammer.

The first one was relentless to say the least unless you knew what the hell you were doing.

The sequel looks just as good though and I can't wait

@3 Its not supposed to have any Connection to Dantes Inferno, and Demons Souls offer Character Customization - so there isnt really a focused "Main Character" its just a random guy that dies and gets to fight demons :D

I'm so happy there are hard games now. Especially ones that are as cool as this. Other games should learn from this, not to be an RPG, but to stop giving gamers an easy ride.
