Seems to be missing something judging from the videos I've seen. They've made everything more obtuse, and they've got rid of The Nexus, which was one of the best things about Demon's Souls. It was lovely to have a peaceful area full of friendly NPCs who weren;t forever trying to skewer you. Maybe its just because the quirkiness is expected now, while it was such a pleasant surprise in Demon's Souls. I hope there's the same variety of bad guys and NPCs, I'll never forget my first encounter with a Red-Eye Knight. Demolished doesn't do it justice
