Lately I've been considering picking up Demon's Souls, after playing Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne will it hold up, is it still going to be enjoyable having played those 3 games first?
I say that in the idea that Demon's Souls is the very basic form of the Souls series and they assumably made improvements based on feedback of Demon's Souls.

Demon's Souls is much harder than Dark Souls. Prepare yourself!

While Darks Souls was an AMAZING game (platinumed twice), it's highly watered-down in terms of difficulty over Demon's Souls.

DeS stands on its own easily along with the other games, I consider it a well polished, more unforgiving prototype to DaS. Your first time will definitely give you the experience you want from a first time souls playthrough but when you learn a bit more about the game it's pretty exploitable *cough* Grass *cough*
In other news, the parry reads and wakeup pressure is real, poor fella.

I'm totally cheating though using Grass Crest and I'm wearing Black Manchettes (the reason I was in painted when this poor soul came to visit me) and steel leggings to fit into SL125 with at least the 41 poise break tier and 1800HP.

Quote: From Software has revealed the release date for Dark Souls III, and the next iteration of the brutal series will hit its first quarter 2016 release date, at least in Japan.
On the Dark Souls website, Dark Souls III is listed for release on March 24, 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One, with the PC version "announced at a later date." A physical copy of the special edition of the game will cost 7,430 yen, while downloadable versions will set gamers back 6,930 yen.

With all the blood echo buffs you can put on it really is quite fast. Anything beyond that is using some infinite glitch. I'm sure there is one on youtube if you look.

I'm not familiar with farming in the Lecture Hall, but a good place I know of is the lamp after Micolash. Spawn there, run to the first giant pig, kill it. Run past the next two pigs till you reach the group of 4 lesser shadows of Yharnam. If you do it right, both groups (shadows vs pigs) will engage in a bloody battle. After one group prevails, finish them off and use a Bold Hunter's mark to respawn. Rinse and repeat.

FromSoftware to Establish New Studio in Fukuoka in October 2015
Tokyo, September 12, 2015 – FromSoftware, Inc. is establishing a new development studio in Fukuoka, Japan next month.
FromSoftware has been actively developing video games for various platforms and they will continue to do so. The establishment of the new studio will expand their development capabilities to create globally competitive products.
The Fukuoka studio will focus on creating 3D CG assets for games while working closely with the original studio in Tokyo.
Fukuoka and its surrounding areas are easy to reach from Tokyo and these areas have enormous potential as there are a number of passionate young people and rich living environments. FromSoftware has high hopes that these high-potential areas contribute to build good development environments that lead them to greater quality and creativity.
The new studio will be established in October and will begin operation in January 2016. FromSoftware is now taking applications for a number of development staff for the Fukuoka studio. For more career information, please visit FromSoftware’s recruiting website.

They said it's a full length expansion. Like Artorias of the Abyss or the three crown DLCs.
And given the title, I think we'll be going into memories of The Old Hunters and possibly learn about how The Hunt began. Like how we get to see Lawrence leaving Byrgenwyrth by interacting with his skull. Would be cool to meet a younger Gehrman and Ludwig.

I sincerely hope that's the case, but I gotta admit that I find that unlikely (unless you got something to back up your claim).
Trailers are meant to hype players. A glimpse of the new area(s) would serve that purpose without spoiling much, if done smart anyways.

Downloading the Dark Souls 3 stress test, might not make it in time though, it opens in 30 min. ;<

I managed to kill the boss, the "secret" boss, and the dragon for the Dark Souls III demo.
Dragon surprisingly gave 27,000 souls, from what I remember dragon's don't really tend to reward you that well in souls games, I think like 3-5k souls. So that was kinda cool to see.

The dragons in Demon's Souls rewarded at least 10k I think.
I think the same for Dark Souls 1/2 as well, but it has been a while. 27k sounds alot though, but it'll probably give less when the full game releases.
You should be streaming MGS5 instead, Boss!
