Shuhei on Demon's Souls.

• Produced by Japan Studio and developed by From Sofware, Shu inherited the game as president of WWS.
• Didn't get the producer to explain the purpose of the game, what Miyazaki was trying to achieve.
• Thought the game balance was broken as an action game when he played it as it was a pioneer of a new subgenre.
• SCEA and SCEE passed on publishing the game, Bandai Namco and Atlus published in those markets.
• Game became a cult hit as people played it and found its true nature.
• Gamespot gave it Game of The Year - published by Atlus, which Shu sent to SCEA marketing who replied "OUCH".
• From Software was already working on the sequel but they were dissatisfied in their treatment by PlayStation so declined an offer to work with them on it.
• Bandai Namco offered them joint IP ownership if they changed the name from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls.

I’ll never forgive Shu for this.

Fumbling the fromsoftware/dark souls bag is worse than signing concord

The bold is a crazy downplay of the half a billy concord flop.


Also Sony of America and Europe are the ones who really fumbled, coulda probably had a bloodborne game again if they believed more in the overall IP at the time
Sounds like Sony Fumbled again by treating them like a whatever double A team at the time.

At least Miyazaki aint hold a grudge or BB woulda never got made at all.


Since they own them now I'm sure a BB remaster and sequel is coming.

And yet sony just had a record breaking quarter/year….looks like their own books downplayed it enough
