demon's souls

anyone know about a game called Demon's Souls? 

video link:

http://www.gametrailers.com/game/demons-souls/10372

i thought fighting games has no market...  what the heck? 

looking through all the comments, it seemed so many are anticipating it?! 
look at the interviews, developer's attitude is like so many people have been waiting for this to come... 

why?!?! 

if it's true, then why did Oni and blade of darkess fail?

Re: demon's souls

oxe is at least partially right, Halo stole Oni's thunder.  Since Oni was originally slated to release as early as 1999, then was pushed back at least twice, Bungie spent their advertising money on it too early and then Halo was coming up fast behind Oni as the "next big thing" from Bungie and people forgot about the fighting game coming from their other studio.

But it doesn't help that Oni was also rushed to the market because of the sale to Microsoft.  If they'd been given another six months, who knows, maybe Oni would have had at least LAN multiplayer and would have made more of a splash.
