It was my absolute favorite title from last years' selection and I believe it has a strong opportunity of being among my top picks for the whole eighth generation. A perfect marriage between Gothic and Eldritch horror executed through the masterful formula of the Souls franchise. I wouldn't mind if it received a direct sequel on the chance that Hidetaka Miyazaki would reprise his role as creative designer, but I wouldn't be too bothered if From Software's next PlayStation exclusive adhered to a loosely-connected "trilogy" tied with Demon's Souls either. However, I would much rather they focus on a remaster of the original Dark Souls in an effort to make the current trilogy accessible on a single platform, as well as offering a chance to localize the "Artorias of the Abyss" DLC on disc for North America, and I honestly wouldn't want a Demon's enhancement unless Bluepoint Games handles it.
I was admittedly a bit disappointed that a physical edition of the expanded release never arrived in the States as well. Don't know whether Sony plans to carry out a string of retail re-releases for their material once the current console cycle comes to a closure, but I opted to move forward with pulling the trigger and nabbing an import of the Chinese/English variant for The Old Hunters edition. Play-Asia hasn't received any restock in the past month and listings on eBay have been notably decreasing over the past year. Figured it would be better late than never to dive for a version with a decent-looking cover over the European "Game of the Year" option.
